Kicking off 2009

With Prada, nasty jellybeans, and adventure games.

This is what I did on the first of January. (Excluding watching the end of Crash, which I started at 11 PM on New Year's Eve.)

Let's go in reverse order.

Gem from King's Quest III:

I love remakes of old games.

So, my little cousin got me these jellybeans that are sort of like Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, but not named the same thing. I have to say these flavors are much, much worse than the originals:

I've had Booger before, but I didn't get it this time. Nor did I get Moldy Cheese.

I only got one jellybean that was Ear Wax or Café Latte colored, but I couldn't tell which flavor it was supposed to be.

The only normal flavors I got were Buttered Popcorn (which I find gross-tasting anyway) and Plum.

From least nasty to nastiest: Toothpaste, Pencil Shavings, Black Pepper, Baby Wipes, Vomit, Skunk Spray, Rotten Egg.

HEADS UP! Rather nasty pictures of half-masticated food ahead:

OHAI an ant:

Sorry. I know that's really gross-looking, but my cousins and I were gagging and really needed to spit them out. Especially Rotten Egg and Skunk Spray. An ant found its way onto my cousin's plate.

And my skirt from Crossroads:

At least, I think it's really Prada.

Please excuse my sorry photo-editing skillz, but this is what the content label would look like if I didn't have to flip it over to read the other half:

The 5% rubber is what makes me think it must be real.

Above, cardigan and pin: grandmother's. White v-neck t-shirt: men's Hanes via Target. Black longsleeve: Target. Skirt: Prada via Crossroads. Tights: super control top DKNY. Pumps: mother's, Liz Claiborne. Belt: GAP, brother's.

I had the hardest time getting into the skirt because of how tight it is. How do people wear pencil skirts? And with heels? I had a hard enough time maneuvering in low heels and a skirt that isn't deadly tight.

I wore this to my mom's friend's house, where my mom caught up with old friends and I sat and ate and made my skirt even tighter than it already was. Well, I had fun posing for these pictures, anyway.
