20 July 2010 Edit: Hello again, guys and girls! @_@; I realise that 8 July has long since come and passed, and I realise that I really should've made an edit stating, ((Yet again,)) That I wouldn't be able to post an Updates/Blog entry that week, instead of simply Tweeting about it and leaving everyone who doesn't follow me wondering ... But alas, I didn't have time to do any of this. e_e; However, a full explanation as to what's been keeping be so busy lately will be coming up in a brand new Updates/Blog entry in just two days, on 22 July 2010 --- So check back then to find out what's been up! ^_~
26 June 2010 Edit: Hey everyone. x_x; I'm sure that most of you have caught onto this fact by now, ((Especially those of you who follow me on Twitter,)) But just in case 'ya haven't, there's not going to be an Updates/Blog entry here on mallorymaloney.com this week.
The reasons for this are many: Skelly was recently infected with an extremely stubborn virus which forced me to completely reformat his system, my Dad's computer suffered the same fate, a site I do volunteer work for was hacked and I had to help rebuild multiple databases and an extraordinarily large amount of pages, and on top of all this electronic mess, my Mum's been working at her new job nonstop, which means I get stuck with all of the cooking, cleaning, and other household chores while she's away. e_e;
Thankfully, though, things are starting to wind down. I've still got some organising to do and settings to change in regards to my newly reformatted Skelly, the site I do volunteer work for still needs a bit of help, and the household workload needs to be caught up on, but none of this is as bad as a few days ago. Now, here's where I'd normally tell you guys to expect an update next Thursday, and I was about to ... Until I looked at the calendar, that is. I hadn't realised straight away that next Thursday is 1 July! There's no way I'm sitting in front of the computer all day on the first of July, man. ><; No fuckin' way!
This is because in Canada, the first of July --- Known as 'Canada Day' --- Is a pretty big deal. It's similar to the fourth of July for Americans, in the sense that it's a day filled with lots of parades, fireworks, merriment, displaying of the country's flag on one's shirt, and so on. ((Not that I ever wear shirts with the Canadian flag on it --- I think it looks kinda, er, 'local yokel', to be perfectly honest. Same with shirts that say shit like 'CANEHDIAN GRRLZ RAWK!!!1'. High cringe factor there.))
So, obviously, I'll be posting a new Updates/Blog entry the Thursday after Canada Day, on 8 July. Until that time rolls around, much love ... And I hope you guys don't mind that I'm taking yet another unexpected multiple week break from mallorymaloney.com! X_X;
Hello, my psychodelic brothers and sisters!
This week's updates, for the most part, are going to be pretty lacking --- As has been all the updateage for quite a few weeks now --- Due to the fact that I frantically threw them together at the last minute. -_-;
After I finish an Updates/Blog entry every week, I always make vague, half formed, and rather wispy plans to get together something really spectacular for the next entry, but alas ... Making plans and executing plans are two totally different things.
'Specially when they're vague, half formed, and rather wispy. e_e;
Two new quotes have been added to the Family's Funny Quotes page. I consider both quotes to be nuggets composed entirely of giggletastic gold, so if you're looking to add a few new precious pieces to your clolection, then I suggest you get clickin' on over! ^_~
Two new books have been added to the Favourite Books segment on my Facts page. The first titled The Perfect Cut, by an author named Julie Burtinshaw, and the second is called Little ((Grrl)) Lost, by Charles De Lint. If, like me, you're a fan of young adult novels centred around 'alternative' characters, then you'll absolutely love these two books. I know I did! ^o^
A set of nine new photos has been added to my Photographs page --- Finally! @_@; Prior to this, the last update to the page was way back in freakin' February, so if you're one of my visitors who's been eager for a new batch of photos, then this update is for you! n_n;
Now, onto the first blog topic for this week's entry ... The top and skirt I picked out to wear to the Green Day concert I'm attending on 18 August of this year! ^o^
That's right, m'friends ... I finally made up my mind! If you read mallorymaloney.com's last Updates/Blog entry, you'll recall that I was extremely conflicted as to what clothing I was going to buy online to wear to the show, and was concerned that if I didn't choose soon, I wouldn't receive the items on time!
Shortly after writing that entry, though, I suddenly became extremely determined to decide exactly what the fuck I wanted, and as soon as possible. It's like I only realised how little time I had left until after I read the words I had written myself. #_#;
So, fuelled by sudden panic, I started frantically going through all thirty plus links I had collected in the weeks prior. Choosing which top I wanted was easy enough --- I just went with the one I kept admiring more than all the rest!
I think I knew from the first moment I spotted it on eBay that it was The Top, because I had no qualms whatsoever answering 'Yes', when I asked myself the question, 'Pretend that this is a traditional auction listing as opposed to a Buy It Now listing, and that you only have five minutes left to decide. Would this be the top you'd buy?!' Click the thumbnail below to see the image of my qualm free choice in actual size! ^_~
The skirt, on the other hand, wasn't so easy. For the longest time, I was evenly torn between two on eBay that were slightly similar. However, after carefully pouring over both skirt's auctions one after the other, I began to realise that one of the skirts might not fit me as well as the other would --- AKA, I might not be able to squeeze my fat Western ass into it, due to the fact that it was designed with dainty Asian girls in mind.
I may only weigh about one hundred and eight pounds, I may have stick thin lower arms, I may have a fairly small waist, and I may not have much in the way of breastules --- But my hips and ass, well, they live on a different storey. I'm thinkin' at least the ninety fifth floor on a one hundred storey building, whereas the other half of my body's lost somewhere down in the basement.
In other cleverly chosen words; Baby's got back, and it be the bane of her being.
Keeping my misproportioned body in mind, I decided to choose the skirt that had a little more give to it in the waistline, so that if --- Horrors abound --- I do have to squeeze myself into it, I'll actually be able to manage the task without ripping it to shreds. Said skirt can be viewed in actual size by clicking the thumbnail below!
Now, before I had made any final choices whatsoever, I duly noted that the top's listing and the skirt's listing both stated that the sellers only accepted PayPal as a method of payment, nothing else --- And as most of you already know from reading the details outlined in my 2 December 2009 Updates/Blog entry, I'm unable to use PayPal in any way, shape, or form.
However, I decided to take this 'PayPal Only' statement in stride, as I've bought loads of things in the past from sellers that claimed to have only accepted PayPal. All I do is send them a polite message before bidding asking if I could perhaps send a money order as payment as opposed to using PayPal, and they almost always reply in the affirmative! *^^*
This time around, though, my politely worded messages didn't do shit, because all I got in return were two equally polite messages telling me no, we're sorry, but we only accept PayPal for our eBay auctions, but no worries, 'cause it's a very easy system to use, and that I should get an account for my own convenience, if nothing else!
I knew it was no use to argue, because it was obvious that they were going to stick firmly to their PayPal Only rule, due to the fact that they were both located in Asia --- One in Hong Kong, and the other in Taiwan. I'm not sure why, but do I know that when it comes to sellers located in Asia, they reject all payment methods aside from PayPal.
I refused to be broken down so easily, though. I knew I could figure out a way around this blockade, however massive it might've been ... All I had to do was think carefully. And then it hit me, much like the blockade itself had: I could get someone else who hadn't been banned from PayPal for life to purchase the clothing for me!
I knew I couldn't rely on any of my immediate family members for this one, as they had all been banned from PayPal, as well. Gone also was the idea of turning anyone else I knew offline for help, extended family member or otherwise ... For the most part, none of them even know what the fuck the Internet is, never how to access it and shit for me on eBay. And as for those that do ...? Well, I either don't trust them whatsoever, or simply don't speak to them enough to warrant my bothering them with such a massive task.
So, my offline crew was out, which meant one thing and one thing only: I'd have to turn to one of my good online friends for help. After a bit of consideration as to whom I was going to ask for assistance, the perfect name popped into my head.
You got it, that Amber! The one that many of you are already familiar with from having commented on her kick ass site, ((http://www.starlitfury.com/,)) In the past! And if you're not familiar with Amber or her site, then I suggest you start getting familiar, real fast, because when I force you all to line up one by one and kiss her feet, well ... It's gonna be all the more awkward if she's still a complete stranger to you.
Just sayin'.
And no, I'm not planning to make you guys line up and kiss her feet just for the fun of it, ((Although I wouldn't put somethin' like that past myself,)) I'm planning to do so because she accepted my massive task! Not only that, she accepted it as if it were nothing more than a quick run to the convenience store to pick me up a bottle of red Gatorade. O_O
For that, I'm gonna be forever in debt to her, because even though I already wired her all the money to buy the top and skirt, I feel it's a little more than that. It's helping me with something I consider to be of the highest importance. To me, this is like the same level of importance that most girls apply to picking out the perfect gown for their prom. If Amber wasn't able to lend a helping hand, I don't know what I would've done! #_#;
On the same vein, but flowing in the opposite direction, it also wouldn't be a 'run to the nearest bridge and jump into the traffic hundreds of feet below' deal if something that was out of both of our hands happened to the clothing. For example, if the top goes out of stock, or if the skirt doesn't fit me whatsoever, or if someone steals the packages after they arrive on my doorstep, or if they don't even arrive until after the concert ... Well, I'd be lying if I were to say I wouldn't care. I'd be bummed as fuck!
But.
Just knowing that someone was willing to help me out with something that I consider to be extremely important --- Even if, looking at it from a 'big picture' sorta perspective, it's really not that important whatsoever --- Well, that means more to me than an entire motherfucking wardrobe full of new outfits.
Thank you, Amber! *^^*
... And as for the rest of you, get those lips puckered and start forming an orderly line, bitches! =_=
I secretly envy you. In another lifetime of mine, I dressed just like you. I loved it. Remind you, this was an imaginary lifetime. Either way, I'm a closet goth. I don't have the balls to wear what the fuck ever... Now that I think about it, I don't have the body either. ANYWAYS I envy that. ::Random:: I know, I know. I just had to share my thoughts.
I'm glad Amber was able to help you out. I would have been able to also. Unfortunately, I suck and I didn't know you were having any problems. *shrugs* Sorry babe. Next time, I'm here if you need me. Way to go Amber for saving the day!
The outfit you picked is ridiculously cute as always. ::jealous::
Okay, now that we've determined all that. I have nothing more to write. My mind really isn't where it SHOULD be tonight. =X <3 ya
That skirt is going to look freakin' awesome with your boots!
Every time you bring up what happened with PayPal, I really want to take a fist to the 'friend's' face. I hate when one person fucks shit up for everyone.
It's a good thing that there are awesome people like Amber to balance things out :).
Ahahahaa, I love your dad!! Graham Norton is such a batty bike. He makes me actually sick. Unlike your photographs..... PHWOOOOAR AND A HALF, MOO! I think I'm on the turn! I'm getting a big leeeesbian crush on you!! ;D I jest, I jest.. But still. Wow. It's like you get prettier and more awesome every day. Jealous here!! I especially loved the 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' one, very nice!!
That top is very nice, and -- more importantly -- it's very Mallory! That will suit you something completely chronic, which also makes me boil with rage, as I usually end up looking like a twat if I wear tops like that :( And if you ever call yourself fat again, I will personally MURDER you. No joke. Srsly, you're waaaay smaller than me, so if you're fat, I must be GARGANTUAN. So stfu plskthx ly. Besides, there's nothing wrong with a bubble-butt -- I have one!! And everyone admires it at college :D
...You coulda asked me about the Paypal scenario.
*slight jealousy, feels almost abandoned*
Amber is very lovely for doing it for you etc.
Also, I know I *still* haven't eMailed you.. My life is just not interesting enough to make a nice long eMail about, and I got your comment about still reading my blog (which is very nice of you seeing as my audience consists of about two people X__X) so you would've already read about what's going on in my life.
It's your birthday very soon, isn't it!? I must get to work on making you a birthday card; it will be rubbish, just so you know.. I'm not as good at making cards as you are. And I can't really afford to buy you a present, which I feel really rubbish about. I'm sending you the giant Green Day poster I mentioned in my blog, and I'll try to find something else in the meantime :/ I feel bad for being such a shoddy friend these days. I suck.

Thanks sweetheart. I must admit I got my dentures in pure record time too. The last appointment the dentist didn't even say much to me just, "Was two weeks fast enough for you?" Even George, Mike's Dad who used to work for dental offices said that was incredibly fast. Hell, I'm not complaining by far.
As for the whole schooling thing. I googled it until I was blue in the face ((now that sounds dirty LOL)) But seriously though, basically what happens is that the school I went through isn't REGIONALLY accreditted which apparently is the end of all of the world. Now, it is accredited but not regionally accredited I cannot transfer the credits. It also says in their FAQ, "Will I be able to transfer my credits to colleges?" It says that its completely up to the institution as to whether or not they'll accept their credits.
I could get my associates degree through them. They have an online program also. Which is great cause then I wouldn't have to get my GED but I obviously know that if I were to want to get my Bachelors or even my Masters degree - I wouldn't be able to transfer my HS diploma OR my Associates degree. *smacks forehead* It's all so fuckin' confusing. It's bull shit to say the least. *shrugs* OH WELL - Lesson learned ... I wish I would have fucking known about what "regionally accredited" meant 6 years ago when I started my diploma over. You know, before I busted ass for four years getting ALL 27 credits. Technically Mallory, I have well over 40 some HS credits.
I went to my original high school and picked up my transcripts. It made me cry. I went all through Freshman year and did decently. Towards the end of it and all through sophomore year is when my parents started kicking me out every six weeks. I was moving so much that it took a huge toll on my schooling. Besides that, I was effin' depressed because all of it. They didn't care. Hell, the reason I was able to drop out of school so easily was because Matt came along the summer before Junior year. They knew they had an outlet to get me out of the house for good. They let me move in with him - at fifteen - just so they didn't have to deal with me anymore. Low and behold, I ended up dropping out of high school, getting rid of all my friends, became massively depressed, controlled, and abused; this of course lead to my pregnancy.
Thanks Mom and Dad for being there for me to push me to get my education. Thank you for busting your ass to push your child to go to school because it would be important for me later in life. *sigh*
Alright, I've done enough rambling for now. Thanks sweetie for such a nice comment.
OH! That's no problem about the PayPal thing. I don't know if I would have been able to help at that point anyways since money's super tight. Just in case though know I'm here for ya if you need anything (else) or anything at all. ^_^
*driving to the line* I am on my way deary. *dramatically kisses Miz Ambers nasty feet.*
It is good you have good friends. :)
I love your *outfit* ---you don't have it yet. :) My school blocks your site A LOT! :) so anyways. I can not read that old blog, can you tell me what it says? Please.
I think you will be very pleased to know your crossing of fingers helped me when I was driving for the test, but I didn't get my parallel parking correct. :( I PASSED! THANK YOU!
Thank you, I don't like it too much, It reminds me of the quilt too!
That was just the editing. :) My license picture- I look like shit. :)
Layers- They look terrible. Completely She messed them up, now I can not pull my hair back right anymore. :(
I cannot with words express how gorgeous and cool the top and skirt are nor how fantastic I think you'll look in said clothes + your new Demonia boots! But, I'll try to express that anyway!
First of all I love the combination of red and black. And I love the motif on the top (skulls ftw!) and the fishnet details are amazing. When it comes to the skirt I love the pattern, the buckles (is that what they're called?) in the front and the fact that the skirt consists of several layers. I'd wear that outfit any day and like I've said before, you have such great taste! _<
Uhm, why did half of my comment disappear when I posted it?! Think it has something to do with the "_<" in the very end of the message, which somehow ended up in the middle of the comment and then cutting off the rest. Guess WordPress interpreted everything between the "" as code. Weird! Here's the rest of what I wrote:
You asked about my welfare money. If I earned a few bucks from some shitty job I'd get less welfare money. Earn $100, get $100 less welfare. I'd still be dirt poor but I would be working on top if it all. They're very strict about how much money you get. If my family would transfer $100 to my bank account they'd notice and I'd get $100 less welfare. It sucks. There's no way to improve this situation besides getting a proper job with a paycheck I can really live on. (and here's where there was supposed to be that annoyed smiley but I don't dare to put it there now because then this comment might not get through either!)
You didn't have to explain yourself, bee tee double-you, but it's nice that you did. I've really missed hearing from you, and the fact that I got a bunch of comments from you today really lifted my mood! Not that I was in a shit mood but it just made my good mood better, y'know?
Also.. You are so moral, I really admire it. I'm nowhere near that thoughtful. You thought it would be greedy getting me to do the PayPal business for you, even though you'd be paying me back for it? Srsly now.. I've just convinced my friend to buy my YG's album when it's out and I'm not gonna pay him back. Now THAT is greedy! I am shameless, aren't I? D:
I miss you like a fat kid would miss sugar-filled snax when it's on a diet <3
-- Kayleighhhhhhhh!
I totally know what you mean about the difference between good intentions and executing those intentions when it comes to your website...I always have good intentions for ASF, but they somehow never actually end up on my website.
I love the shirt and skirt you've picked! I think the entire outfit together will look absolutely stunning.
However, I must disagree with you about your so-called "disproportionate" body. Mallory, you are tiny EVERYWHERE. And that includes your lower body. I like Kayleigh said, if you have a fat ass, my ass must have its own postal code.
Anyways.
Good on Amber for ordering the outfit for you! Like everyone has said: if you ever need me for ANYTHING, don't hesitate to ask. You're awesome, and I will do anything I am able to do for you.
I know that I'm still a stranger to you, so you probably wouldn't have trusted me with something as massive as this (perfectly understandable). But if you ever need anything else...comment on my blog, email me, @ reply or DM me on Twitter...whatever. I'm here for you :D
Aww, Mallory! You're treating me like a god here. Crazy blushing going on right now! And the comments from your friends = epic win. I feel so special and loved. *sniffles*
Should I be, like, giving a speech now or something? Hehe.
Anyways, i'm more then happy to be doing this for you. I know how important the concert is and how important your outfit is as well. It's my pleasure! I'm so excited for you though! SQUEE! You better take loads of pictures before, during, and after the concert. :D
Lmao @ the lip puckering comment.
That made me snort and get soda up my nose.
I wish I had the legs to wear skirts like that.
Damn these turkey thighs! *shakes fist*
That top & skirt will work VERY well together - nicely done Mallory love! ♥ Is the skirt by Poizen Industries? If it isn't it's VERY similar to some of their stuff. Also, I very much enjoy your new boots - totally meant to comment or tweet at you, but I've been horribly horribly busy.
The PayPal thing is bullshit - urgh. How totally unfair. That is sadly the way of the world these days, or so it seems a lot of the time. ;___;
In exciting news, my mum showed me the American Idiot on Broadway thing this week - arrrrgggh it looks so good! *flails and dies* I reckon you and my mum would get on like a house on fire, she's utterly Green Day obsessed. When I left my parents last Sunday she was frantically trying to price up a trip to the USA just for that musical, haha!
Amber is a real gem, there. :) It's a shame you couldn't use PayPal. I actually do remember your PayPal blunder. Bloody hell it, of course it would be easy to use if you were actually ALLOWED. The dumbness and annoyance...
I hope not to sound rude or offensive but in your pictures and videos I assumed you were thin all around because you had slim arms! I guess I was wrong; after all, a girl is usually bigger at the hips... I know my hips and butt are big, ahaa. Not all Asian girls would be the same but maybe we do have proportionally smaller hips or something. ^^; I am glad you found a good skirt, it looks really awesome too.
I wouldn't worry too much about the delivery. At least from my experience, things go pretty well and nothing ever gets damaged when I buy things online, and it doesn't get stolen either. It's pretty obvious when someone is on our doorstep because the door is raised above ground level and has a railing, and the porch spans across the huge window-doors... I know this isn't making sense but we'd sure as hell know when someone's at our doorstep. O_o
RE: It's a Motion City Soundtrack album. Not sure about the Linkin Park song though. I used to be ab avid fan but don't listen to them so much anymore so I don't really remember how some of the lyrics go.
Admittedly Disney has some shitty makes, but some really stand out from the rest.
Sorry, but that's me; I have the weird pet peeves. It's not only expensive to watch a movie like that but I deem it a waste of time, when I could be doing something like painting my nails, ironing or folding clothes at the same time. ^^;
A cheap 'real' host is probably the safest option, but I don't know if I'd be able to afford it. I honestly know nothing about payment for domains or hosting, but I feel like hosting is a monthly fee (although it might depend on where you go?) and I wouldn't be able to guarantee coverage. I get an allowance from my stepgrandpa, but I don't know how long it's going to continue and if I'll be able to get a job before that's over. And nobody in my family would want to help me out with payment for that even if they could afford it. I'll probably take that road sometime in the future, but probably not right now. :/
Wow, I've never thought of youngin's like that pretending to run a hosting 'business' before... then again, a friend-of-a-friend online is nine years old and I think she says she's hosting. It's silly. And she has at least three domains and is trying to win another one from the friend right now. wtf; she's NINE. What nine-year-old needs all that space?
---
LOL, I love your comment about the fat Western ass. XD I've noticed that a lot of clothes are designed for tiny-assed people and it really irks me, because I have this feeling that my butt is bigger for my frame than is traditional. Like, I might have a hard time pulling a pair of pants over my butt, but once over, they start to fall off my hips because they're too big. :/ Then again, maybe I'm just really sucky at picking brands of jeans?
HA. I read your next paragraph right after saying that. I weigh 20 pounds more than you and it seems hilarious that we have the same problem.
AWW! A thousand stars and cookies to Amber! :D That's so sweet of her, and I'm really, really glad that you found a solution to your problem--as well as the perfect outfit! ...Do you have shoes to go with it? o_O
Wow, I just realized that each of my paragraphs starts with all caps. It seems embarrassing. D:
The shirt + skirt are both fab! Does that skull have a red spider in its eye? *spazzes* I can't believe how much I'm looking forward to seeing the ensemble together with the boots!
Sounds like we are both *blessed* with the bottom heavy body type. No matter how much weight I lose, my hips and ass will always reign supreme over the rest of me. You might as well strut your stuff, right?
that is going to make one cute outfit! like many other pointed out, it'll all go so stellar with those new boots o' yours! the proper mallory accessorizing and i can see this as looking utterly gorgeous ^__^ but then, you never do disappoint in that department, do you, luvvie?
that is so great that amber was able to help you out like that. i have friends that i turn to for my paypal needs as well. one of these days i may trust paypal with my info, but i dunno. *raises a glass* to amber!
Haha, I'm afraid your wrong. I'm as gay as one could get (or something like that):P
That was so nice of Amber to do that for you:) You got the clothes after all. Yay:) That's great:)
Cute top ^__^ I always get worried buying things online - I feel like whatever I order won't be as perfect as it is online or it won't fit.
You have a lovely friend ^-^. Even my best friends in real life would not do that stuff for me xD.
Haven't said hi in a while. And that was nice of Amber to do that for you. <3 How're you doing?
I deeply apologize for taking a bit to get back to your comment. I always want to make sure I touch base with most of your blog so you don't feel like I totally skimmed it & didn't bother to read it. I don't want to be rude. I mean if I wanted to be a bitch, I'd be a bitch but there's a huge difference from being rude/having poor blogging/commenting etiquette to just being a bitch.
I'm not the type of person who will just leave you a comment that says, "oh hayy girll haven't talked to you in a while. how you been?" when your blog CLEARLY states what you've been up to the past week or so. That effin' annoys me. ZOMG the blog is there for a reason. Try reading it. If you'll read shit like Twilight why is it so hard for you to read a blog that describes how someone is doing?! Sigh.
I'm sorry, I totally went off on a tangent. A friend of mine once blogged about how someone in her family died & then some bitch left this comment that tried to correct her & didn't even say, "my deepest condolences" it was just some bullshit science correction that just made me scoff so hard...that I wanted to just see what this bitch was allll about. I checked out her website & I found out that she wants to be a nurse or something or that she just has like a 3.0 gpa. I got so angry for my friend..i was like, "hOLY FCKING SHIT YOU BITCH. YOU'RE NOT EVEN THAT SMART & YOU HAVE THE GODDAMN AUDACITY TO FCKIN CORRECT MY FRIEND ON THE SCIENCE BEHIND WHAT KILLED HER RELATIVE? FUCKKKKK YOUUUUUUUU. INCONSIDERATE BITCH." & then I found out that she wants to be a nurse that takes care of old people or some BS & I practically laughed. WOW you want to wipe someone's ass for the rest of your life & you come off as mrs. PhD in biology when you'll never even go over every detail of how mutations in genes work. I'm defensive when it comes to my friends & bitches. I skim over the comments they receive to make sure no one is giving them grief. haha.
OMG again so sooo sooo sorry for going off on a tangent. Anyway yeah so I know how annoying it is when people put labels on you.
I guess you get the punk label a lot huh? I feel like you get the punk label more than goth, right? I used to be called a punk just because I wore black like 80% of the time..& had blonde in my hair. I would've called myself more "scene" than punk to be honest but I definitely wasn't 100% scene..sure I listened to hardcore & had blonde in my hair but it didn't make me a 100% scenester with several piercings or cause me to make a myspace page glittered in hello kitty, dinosaurs, robots, barbie shit, diamonds, & pink. Shiiiit. That's a stereotype that a lot of scenesters live out. ROCK ON BITCHES you look like idiots. -_-
But anyway your outfit definitely makes people think, "zomg daz so punk". I used to be into that wardrobe but it's not like I ever wore it. I'd feel like I was trying too hard haha especially because all of my friends were asian. Plus I can't pull off anything other than normal because I'm in college now & people stop trying to be "unique" because they know it's like..time to get serious about studying. Which is always interesting to see because the true "unique" people will continue to wear whatever they wore in high school for the rest of their lives because it's who they are. The rest will just shed it off & wear normal clothes to fit into society because truthfully, at a job interview (that is not at hot topic or the like), people wouldn't take you seriously if you had baggy pants with chains & stitchings of the Dead Kennedys or if you had a mohawk that was like a 50 cm tall. So I guess they shed their shell & show who they really are underneath it all.
You could say that they're "growing up" or that they're "posers" but I mean..who are we to judge, right? :)
AWWW YAYY FOR AMBER!! It's always nice to have such a wonderful friend who will help you out..even if you started off as complete strangers & are now the best of friends. :) :)
I know that I'd order anything for Georgina if it wasn't available for her. That's for sure! I loverz her. :D :D
That totally sucks though..that you're banned from paypal....jeeez. I mean that's really inconvenient. As if not having a debit card wasn't inconvenient enough..being banned for life is even more so. Lame. I'm sorry that does really suck.
So when are your outfits coming in then?
But you know, her purchasing the outfits for you shouldn't have been a big deal! haha you know it isn't but it's cute that you felt like what she had done for you was this hugee thing. I'm sure she's just thinking, "no worries malloryyyy, it's not a big deal, don't sweat it" but you're like, "zomg you ttotes saved my lifeee" haha. I'm like that all the time with some of my friends. We obvi appreciate people when they should be appreciated. :D Yay for finding the little things a bit thing & making people feel like THEY'RE ROCKSTARS. WOOO. :)
Well this was quite a happy post. I was expecting an, "aw fml stupid paypal. stupid ebay. i need my damn outfit. fck you all!!" but it was a happy ending. no funny sex jokes! haha.
I WROTE THE LONGEST COMMENT SO FAR. I WINNNNNNN AT LIFEEEE. just kidding. half of it was me going off on an unrelated blog comment. i apologize for that. i hope it was somewhat entertaining. my anger & all. woooo.
I'm so glad you got round to choosing an outfit, especially as it looks so stunningly awesome. :D
That was really nice of Amber to do that for you. :) I don't have a PayPal account either, but seeing as both of my parents do I don't have a problem getting stuff. Technically, I'm too young to get one anyway. Or so Mum tells me. I've never actually seen it written anywhere that you need to be 18 to get a PayPal account, but it doesn't bother me too much. I prefer buying things from shops anyway, though Glasgow is a little lacking in the alternative clothes department. 3 small shops, all of which are in one street and sell pretty similar things. And none of them sell HIM t-shirts, like the one I've been meaning to buy online for ages but haven't got round to getting because I'm extremely disorganised. :L If they did sell that top, I'd almost certainly own it by now. xD
The beginning when one of them was being humped by the lion was hilarious. They all have mad dancing skills.
I will definitely upload the video to my own server. Once I return all the comments I received. xD
That...is a FUCKING SWEET OUTFIT you've chosen. I love the way the skulls are designed on the top, and as always, the fishnets make a perfect addition. The type of pattern on the skirt is my favorite: red tartan.
Amber is ahhh-mazing for getting the clothes for you. I may go kiss her feet, after all that persuasion you've done. :D I never use PayPal, since I know my parents won't allow me to buy stuff online.
Ooh I loveee the top, you'll look amazing for the concert! Amber sounds like an absolute babe for helping you buy the clothes., friends like that are the best.

Heheh, don't worry, I'm keeping my Green Day layout up for a while, I quite like it too. :D
Awesome choices. I had a skirt similar to that one about five or six years ago. I can't actually recall what ever happened to it though. That was very generous of Amber to do that for you. I would be slightly apprehensive about ordering things from Asia off ebay though. For some odd reason whenever I do they arrive with funny smells all over them.
I feel like I've seen that skirt somewhere before. Maybe someone I know has it? Anyway, I love outfit that you finally chose. Pretty awesome.
You're going to another Green Day concert!!! LUCKYY. I haven't even been to a single concert yet. T_T And that is a pretty radical outfit, I must admit. Me gusta!! ^^ [Man, I'm starting to use a lot of Spanish in my vocabulary despite how much I suck at it and nearly failed the class XD]
Hey, I finally have the internet back!
Loving that top, great choice.
Skirts great too... But, I want that top!
That's great of Amber to help you out, I would of done the same if I knew and had the internet.
I could of been seeing Green Day this month but missed out on tickets :(
Glad to see everything is up and running again. I missed you. ^_^
You're much forgiven, what with all the internet/technology wankery that's been happening to you lately. I think I speak for all of your site visitors when I say take all the time you need!
In regards to an eMail I sent you some time ago, don't worry about it. I've kind of seen things clearly since then (taking a look at my private blog will inform you) and I've decided to stop caring as much. I'm sick of people being that way towards me, so I'm eschewing it all :)
Also, from the 1st-14th I'm away in Norfolk and seeing Young Guns in Oxford, so if you don't get a comment from me on your July 8th entry, you know why. I will read it as soon as I return though, as I cannot miss one of your entries; it gives me a panic attack.
SGL will be on hiatus for that time, which sucks, but there will be PLENTY to look forward to when I return *nudges Mallory in a way that suggests 'you're gonna love this'* X__X I'm lame, sorry.
Hope all the wankery sorts itself out and have a good Canada Day!

WOW. I'm sorry about the computer virus. I've had a really fucking bad one in the pasy to. I wish people would grow the fuck up and stop making the god damn things! Jezz! Anyway I hope your computers doing fine now.
The outfit you picked out for the Green Day concert is really cute! Its cool that you had a friend willing to help you get the clothes you wanted! - Have fun on Canada Day!
Responding to what you said on my blog:
I'm considering getting a URL with my full name. After looking at it, it's not as long as I thought. LOL.
Yes, I remember you saying you weren't a big Sci-Fi fan. I'm glad you liked my poorly put together synopsis though! I'll be sure to keep you updated on the book. I MIGHT be looking for Beta readers later (someone who reads a book before it's sent to a publisher an makes suggestions), are you good with gramer? If so you MIGHT be able to read a first cut.
Don't worry, Edward (my cat0 has warmed up to Louie (new puppy)!
What? No posting on July 1st?! That's crazy talk. Where do you get off having a life when the rest of us don't? Dammit. I, like every other loser American, intend to be wasting all my free time on July 4th on the Interpoop blogging to people who don't give a shite. Cuz I haz no life and whatnot.
OK - seriously - enjoy the breakage from the blogging. I'll be drinking way too much and trying to blow off my hands with homemade fireworks on my country's holiday. Do "CANEHDIAN GRRLZ" do such things? Probably not ;-)
Read your edit. That sounds like a mess. D:
Haha, that Patrick's comment highly amused me. I'm not sure what I'm doing on the fourth. :/
Anyway, I actually came here to leave you my new link, since I finally got the new domain set up. :)
I hope that your computer starts to feel better soon. Also, enjoy your Canada day since today is the first of July!! Hope you have a great time. Also, that skirt and top are very cool! I'd love to wear a skirt like that!
So you were downloading porn on your computer and got it infected? J/K ;)
How was Canada day?
This skirt is so awesome!! can't wait to see pictures of you wearing it. I think I want to make something like that, but no quite.
Can't you send some e-mail or whatever to pay pal to get you un-banned?
Amber is super awesome as well! ;)
happy to hear that people these days still trust other people :)
hi Amber.. ;)
Hello Ms Mallory!
I was just stopping by to say 'hello' to you after my extended hiatus from the blog world...
Yah I hate it when i see a hella cute outfit on ebay and it's from China...I really don't like using my paypal account... Something about it just doesn't seem right to me... But I'm very glad Amber was able to get your things for you! That shirt is kick ass!
Damn, I know what you mean when you say 'baby got back.' Bane of my entire existence! UGH.
Hey Mallory! I have missed reading your blogs D: So Alas, here I am, though you probably didn't notice my disappearance on the surface of the cyber world :P
LOL. Well enjoy Canada day! Actually it's past the 1st of July now so I hope you have enjoyed Canada Day! It seems that you are aiming to make the most of it, which is good ;)
O______O I love the skirt you bought!
yey for Amber! I'm glad you figured out a way around that Paypal rubbish because I still find it stupid that you banned you for life. I mean honestly, it's a business!
Nonetheless, I hope your new kickass outfit arrives well ahead of time :D
I miss you Mallory!! Where are you!?! I've just made about 10 blogs from my Norfolk trip and the Young Guns gig on the 13th. I am absolutely exhausted. If you get a chance, I'd love for you to have a read of them, I think they'll be quite lolsome for you.
You seem to have disappeared from the interwebz lately; I do hope everything's alright! Feel free to eMail whenever you want about anything on your mind <3
K xx
I have that problem a lot with stuff from Asia... all of those were for tiny women... with not fat feet. Though I can squish my fat ass feet into just about anything at this point.
Hopefully those clothes fit you (love the shirt!) Though by this time I'm sure you've already gotten them (and probably announced it over twitter... but I have a horrid memory). It's really cool Amber did that for you. :)
Things getting better?
YAAAAAY :D 2 days, fuckin yaldi. :) I've been missing your blogs, as they amuse me greatly. Your tweets too! Well you have been tweeting and stuff but there was a day or two that you didn't which made me sad. Not that I've been tweeting much either, now I sound like a complete hippocrit (LOL I almost wrote hippogriff..which I think is something in Harry Potter, LOL XD)
But AAAAAAA I just realised I haven't even commented on this entry yet! O___O WHY IS THIS?! Gah I always leave commenting you to the last minute and now I feel bad. Oh well I shall comment now.
AAA I LOVE YOUR NEW PHOTOS! :D I like the ones that you've edited so that there is two of you in the picture. Simple, but effective. I want to do that one day and upload it to facebook so that all the idiots I have as friends will be all "ZOMGZ YOU HAS A TWIN!!!!!!!11111111" cos many of the people I have on facebook are idiots and would actually think that. FOOOOLISH FOOLS have never heard of photoshop. And if they have they use it to make themselves look even more orange than they do in real life which I don't really understand..
And I love your top and skirt that you found on ebay! :D You can always find a bunch of cool clothes on shit on ebay, yet I never actually buy any because.. I'm not actually quite sure why. However I found a nice Beatles bag on ebay which I plan on buying :D
And AWWWWEEE thats nice of that Amber person! I will gladly kiss her feet, as she has been very kind to you. I sound like an idiot right now, don't I!? But yeah seriously, it's lovely that some people go outta their way for people like that.. I don't know how to explain it any other than that, but what I'm saying is that it is very very kind. XD
ROFL I sound like an idiot yet again. I bet I sound like "AW SHES KIND.. AW THATS NICE OF HERRRR" cos I can't think of any other creative words than "kind" or "nice."
How embarrasing, I shall creep out now before I make even more a fool of myself...
Helloo!
I really like the style of those recent photos you uploaded. They look great!
Your outfit looks brilliant too - loving the skirt. I have a pair of pants just like it xD Can't wait to see the pics in your next entry~
