Doctor Who 50th Day of the Doctor

It starts in less than 95 minutes, and the Google logo is even the Doctors in Minecraft form. Can I have a TARDIS that takes me to the 50th?? Why do Rose's eyes glow? It's not totally Bad Wolf glow, but it looks oh-so-similar. Which Doctor is the past? Present? Future? Is John Hurt's doctor just an aged 8? The prequel, The Night of the Doctor, was about the 8th, Paul McGann. I have questions, and the show has answers. What questions about today's episode?

Room Redo Week 1-Planning

I really need to redecorate my room. The furniture is 4 different finishes (cherry, white, oak, and birch), and still little girl esque. (I was 10, and this was just before I fell out of pink and into blue and lilac.)

I am still keeping my giant pink plush owl-it's special to me. However, I am planning on disposing of almost all the other *shudders* pink objects in my room. It's a mess and you don't need to see my outfit for tomorrow scattered about, along with many a book, so no before pictures until I decide to clean it entirely from top to bottom.

A Nice Chart type thing

Keep:

• Bed and Dresser (the only matching furniture)
• TV and DVD player-I do not care that they are pink. They work and I can drape them in amethyst or black cloth.
• 2 quilts-I am getting a comforter, but my house gets freakishly cold in the winter.
• Stereo and speakers
• One Direction wall-It took an abundance of time and work. I'm not tearing it down yet.
• Water color paintings and frames

 

Get Rid of:

• White dresser-Although it holds my TV, it does not match my other furniture and it is old (I've had it since I was 6 or 7) and due to misuse (I was only a child, so don't go evaluating me) is in somewhat of a deteriorated state.
• Entertainment center-it only holds my books, so I'm going to buy book shelves (furnituregothic.com)
• Nightstand-The only piece of birch furniture IN THE HOUSE. Although it holds magazines (Seventeen, anyone?), my lamp, and a few various other items, my bed is too high for it and only went with my original bed, not my current one. Going to buy a new one, most likely from Furniture Goth.
• Of course, the various trinkets of no use to me anymore and since I have no sisters, no use to my family either.
• Maybe I will sell my hardcover books that I have 4+ copies of (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). I do not know how I came across this many...but I will keep at least one copy of each book, because if there is both hardcover and paperback, I will keep both.
• All the clothes that are too little. I didn't completely get everything out last month (1 overflowing bag at my mom's, and God knows how much at my dad's)

Buy:

• Beauty Storage Tray, from PB teen. $35. To be painted black
• Beauty Storage Cup, PB teen, $12. Also will be painted black.
• Plush speaker animal (penguin), PB teen, $79. It's a speaker for a phone or MP3 player. Even though it is not Gothic in any way, it is "me" and will be useful.
• Gemma Floral reversible comforter in black, PB teen, $159
• Flora felt pillow black, PB teen, $39
• PB teen organic sheet set, lavender, PB teen, $109
• Owl woodland creature, small, Pottery Barn, $39.50
• small taper holder in silver, $29
• Wolfram Dragons Wall shelf, Furniture Gothic, $139
• Saltier Side Table, Furniture Gothic, Back Ordered
•  Black tulle bed skirt

If you have any suggestions for Victorian or Medieval Gothic teen bedrooms, let me know. (I want the elegance of Victorian, but the dragons and castles of medieval Goth.)

 
 

Short Rant

So, I love Bastille and other Rock/Alternative artists that just now made Top 40 radio. I find it disappointing that pop is alt. If pop has become alternative, in fashion and  music, what is alternative? Granted, somethings are easier to find, examples are the top hat for Victorian goth, corsets, and Doc Martens, but I don't want to be remembered as a "hipster". My music, like Bastille, Lorde, Panic! at the Disco, the Cure, Pierce the Veil, and My Chemical Romance is now on Top 40 radio. (I refer to it as "my music" to differentiate between pop and most of what I listen to) Now, if the artist is coming to town, it's more likely to happen, but I am also less likely to get tickets. And it feels like the band is no longer my little secret.
I was writing this post when "Pompeii" was playing. Now, "Royals" is playing. I swear, alternative is losing the alternative feel. I just want this to be over, like the rock scene with Nirvana back in the 90's (apparently that happened. I didn't experience it.)

Update

God, it's been so long since I've posted something. Well, it's been over a week. I try to post once a week, because that's all I have time for though.

I have a robotics competition in less than 12 hours. I'm so nervous. I'm not a driver, and I didn't really program anything, but I did vote on stuff, and help build part of the booth. Ugh. I just hope we do well.

Shopping Spree!

 

 

Last Saturday, my good friend Hailey and I went shopping together. She has more of a preppy style, whereas mine is more dark and alternative. Most of these items are mine, but some Hailey liked. I can't include pictures, because I forgot to save them to my laptop, but I will post descriptions and site/store name.

I do not see Hot Topic as a Goth store anymore, but it definitely has some clothes, especially around Halloween time, that are very Gothic. I do enjoy that you can actually see what you are wanting to look at, and it isn't all like OH-MY-GOD-SOMEONE-IS-THERE-WHAT-THE-F-I-CAN'T-SEE-ANYTHING-oh thank goodness, there's the cash regisiter and the exit. Ok, so it wasn't that bad, but I think I have conveyed my point.
