I was looking for something in an old file and I found this pictuer of Ganguro Beavis & Butthead that (I assume) I drew like 100 years ago in MS Paint.

Some of the things I sold on the comm sales back in the early 2010s! I miss some of these pieces lol But realistically, I sold them because they didn't fit!

Photos from 2009-2010 it seems.

Circa 2011

Some photos of the resin jewelry I used to make that was obviously inspired by Suppurate System because they were super hard to find in the states. Obviously everyone in the world does resin now, but way back then no one really did it! I used to buy little mini roses at the grocery store and dry them out and then use actual antique newspaper I found at yard sales for a lot of these! It was really fun.

I was backing up some phone photos and discovered a whole hoard of ancient lolita/blog photos attached to an old email account! It's just random stuff I guess I uploaded to EGL or something at some point, but it goes back to 2009! I'm going to upload some in a bit!

According to my file information I saved these in September of 2002. Ancient BtSSB.

For April Fools Day in 2009 some friends and I did like really bad on purpose fake decora with a bunch of random stuff and rave bracelets. Then later we went out into the woods and did Guro Lolita for real. Just 2009 Lolita stuff.

I like to browse around on the Library of Congress: Chronicling America site and just search for random history stuff. I have recently been listening to a podcast about the Titantic so I did some searching on that. It's wild seeing the initial adverts and minor little blurbs about the ship before it set sail. It's also totally wild to sort of experience the timeline through old newspaper scans, because at first it's just some little charming articles about how many first class passengers are there, and the schedule for upcoming departures from New York, then there was some sort of disruption at the port on the first day, then the iceburg got struck and the news reports are genuinely bizarre to read because everyone thought everything was ok?? The reports from the morning after are all about how everyone was miraculously saved and aboard another ship and the damaged Titanic was being towed to New York, but then the evening papers are about how it's odd there has been no news about the "survivors", then the following day the actual reports start trickling in, but some newspapers are still reporting that everyone is safe and sound. Then it's just a flood of reality hitting the front page. Here are some clippings from before the maiden voyage, I'll probably post some of the others in a bit, as I saved them for whatever reason and I may as well post them instead of the jpegs rotting on my computer lol
