I haven't posted in here in a long time, since then so many things have happened.
Like the Bag above? It's an altered Nine West Bag, Leather, and pretty.
I have a showcase coming up, for RAW: Natural Born Artists.
I guess I sort of lost touch with who I am for a while, and this kind of woke me up, and I remember what I wanted to do and now I get a chance to showcase the things inside my head.

Of Course that's not all I've made

I've also got an offer for  anon profit publisher, I'm going to finish Billionaire and another short story called "Suspended in This Place" To submit them, I'm thinking of Submitting Diva, as well, but idk yet, I'm thinking of changing the name to Delphi.


Well outside my work, I dont know how to talk about my everyday life.
I can share things I've bought and have felt, but I'm afraid to do that.
May be, or it will be, next time.

My name's Scarlet, and Today I want to talk about a bit of an addiction. So here we go.

As of lately I've been wanting to post about mine and my sister's couponing experiences,

cutting, collecting, and finding price match ups takes a lot of time and effort. Sometimes I cut so many i forget why I have them to begin with, then I remember the pay off is huge.

This week lots of good coupons came in the mail, and I used a few for the sales happening at the 

Walgreens and the CVS, which are my favorite couponing places, Target is also another favorite.

We also go to Raid Aide and the juggernaut that is Wal-Mart. I love that we can price match, that makes 

me happiest. 

I know that Wal-Mart is the devil, and I'm not proud of it, but they have an amazing coupon policy.

Target has an awesome coupon system, but sometimes it fails to deliver and there's a lot of fighting with the cashier's who can't read the fine print like we do, but they do give cash back in gift cards which we can use for the next purchase whether it be a day or seconds later.

CVS and Walgreens were hit up today by me and my mom, we bought a lot of clearanced make up

over 70% off and matched it with coupons.

I had read on Hip2Save about a lot of deals going on so I made my little list and headed over there

a few days after the sale started. I BARELY got anything, and saw other savings literally there one second gone the next.

Almay cosmetics were reduced to 2.50 each, sometimes 1.50, I had a $2 coupon on ANY and scored them for 50 cents or less~~!!

I bought: 

Amethyst Mascara for Brown Eyes x2, Liquid Foundation X2, Pore Fection Foundation x1 & Trio eye shadows x2

Each of these retail for 8.99 or 13.99 and over, paid: under 5 bucks for everything.

I'm hoping that there will be some deals for Allergy medicine in the next weeks, I have severe allergies and lots of coupons I'm just waiting to use.

I will fix this blog, and post up more things, I've been realyl avoiding blogging for the past few months but I think it's time I've returned to cyber land as real land is a stranded ship.

Will Post pictures later.

In my opinion, this is the song of their Career. Their "Glay" CD is supposed to be a definition of thier music so far, and it was great but also it was everything i expected, and frankly I wanted more. I am hoping they deliver that in Rare Collectives Vol, 3 & 4. I think it is because they are older that their music is like...way too media oriented, like what people want to hear, I want them to shake it up a bit, give me another angle of One Love please, I miss Glay and half of the songs on this album I just have to skip because it is generic, I felt them create the album, and maybe it just needs to grow on me, but Precious is the only song i can listen to that I enjoy and IS GLAY, everything Glay is summed up in this bitter sweet ballad, a lament, and an entire life lived. "Hey, tell me what made you so happy?" i feel everything when I hear it, I feel that it is towards me, from me, and about me, that the universe connects with Teru's Voice and Takuro's lyrics, ”ねむれよ。。。”　it isn't like I can simply listen to Precious and just skip it, when it comes on I do cry some times, and some times I just need to close my eyes. The scenery is calming and the longing is strong, //sighs// I wonder what inspired this song.

I think this movie came out already, but I think it would be a very interesting movie to see.
Okay, I like anything Natalie Portman does, but i also have this fascination with ballet, and of course there is this sinister schizo plot, and then she's turning into a swan? So did the ballet drive her crazy? Or is it the umm definition of Black Swan itself?
Lemme Wiki it here:
The Black Swan Theory or "Theory of Black Swan Events" was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb to explain: 1) the disproportionate role of high-impact, hard to predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance and technology, 2) the non-computability of the probability of the consequential rare events using scientific methods (owing to their very nature of small probabilities) and 3) the psychological biases that make people individually and collectively blind to uncertainty and unaware of the massive role of the rare event in historical affairs. Unlike the earlier philosophical "black swan problem", the "Black Swan Theory" (capitalized) refers only to unexpected events of large magnitude and consequence and their dominant role in history. Such events, considered extreme outliers, collectively play vastly larger roles than regular occurrences.
Could it be that the probability of the begining of the story be why it's black swan effect and it plays into the show that the ballet place is hosting? Or is it that unexpected events happen which trigger a change? I don't know, but i like that the theory and the movie seem like it's a deeper metaphysical definition, and it would be interesting to see which parts play into it.

Right now I want to see this, and also watch "The Last unicorn"


Also, I want to continue to update this blog because this one is for reviews of movies and concerts, and games sometimes.
So I want to update more often.

My favorite movie







the subtleness in it, of love and of pain.

i remember when i had netflix, and i would check out a lot of japanese movies
The Yakuza papers were favorites of mine.
many movies, that i can't remember now.

The line: Sort of a first in a long time, I got to make friends in line a few minutes after getting in line. Very nice people, names Breanne & her sister,Sabrina , Veronica, Also a Myv Cosplayer who had won a cosplay contest previously and got to meet him and her friend/s.

We talked about previous concert experiences, i got to learn a little about their lives, we got out picture taken by Music Japan some or other, and we played a round of war to beat the man.
Constantly they told us NO FUCKING CAMERAS EVER,

experience:
We got in after scanned tickets and separated. through the doors, and they constantly told us no running, well I ran when they weren't looking and got ONE person behind the stage (No fucking Rail!!) well it was a good spot lets just leave it there! A friend of mine passed out and we all agreed to not pull each others hair.

concert starts, song kicks off and I couldn't take my eyes off of him,

memorable moments: he leans back into the crowd in the middle of Survive and plays his guitar behind him and begins to moves down the edge of the stage still playing. He leans back real fast and his hair touched the audience shortly. Many many guitar solos of him just shredding and doing what he does best, many times he fell to the ground with the intensity of his fingers rummaging through the guitar delivering perfect and harmonizing with his band mates which are also very talented and humble.
i fell in in love with his drummer bobou, who...I think is a very cute person, he was right in fron to me and when i couldn't see Miyavi or was just too entranced in the music to jump or to sing along or to scream at every pause he made I just stared a bobo and admired his mad skills.
The Deejay has a VERY long name, but also very talented though I barely got to see him.

He did really amazing vocalizing that I never heard from him before for his ballads Kininegai wo and that song he said he wrote after Lovelie was born, he talked about his family and how he went through a really hard time last year that he wanted to give us his tour, well he couldn't come to LA because of injuries he said he had, and that he also got sick, and he was very sad to had to cancel the tour. I didn't heard some parts because people didn't shut up. But he said something that resonated in my heart, he said that he doesn't care about being famous, 'all of this, I never longed for it like it was a goal, I just wanted to do things I love, and do something that no one has done before, being myself and create what I love.' He talked about how he went independant and formed his own label, j-glam, and that he was very grateful to have very amazing children like us. I really love listening to Miyavi talk, what I hate is that I can only hear half of it because of the stupid girls who don't know when to shut up. They always want Miyavi to recognize them so they're all saying stupid things. He does very kakouii gestures with his hands when he sings too, like an amazing Rock Star that he is, like this little 'bang bang bang' thing he did to my section, he leaned in very close to us and people could touch him, I think he likes that lol Well also it was crushing but not as bad, it was actually a little bit come comfrotable than the Avalon. I saw a lot of him in this show and was so impressed by him yet again astonded at how much better his English is as well.
Well at the end of his show, He told us that he loved us very much, and his sincerity is another thing that drew me back into Miyavi, because I've been a fan of his for such a long time that I just can't deny him the love he's always had in my heart, that special place only he can take. So this concert to me was a love letter written in sweat, in heat, in crazy melodies, in fast flashing lights, in the sprinkling water he poured on me, and in the tender cold of his fingers when his hand touched mine. I held on to this part and I didn't want to let go, it was like a part of me that was dead re-awoke, and I knew then the answer in my heart.
There's a love in me you'll always have, and though I'm one of many, you're the only one in my heart, in that special place reserved just for you no matter how many times I loose you, I realize now that.. I can't quit you.

I went to see the Polysics a while ago, but I haven't had time to post the review here.
so here we go. Copied and pasted from Last.fm

Basically just going to copy and paste from my LJ~!
Alright so around 3:03 Erika came to pick me up and we were on our way to L.A. I took my clock bag and my plaid green dress.
Not to mention my Docs because...well..I was pretty sure that I was going to get crushed, I had to be prepared. We got to the Roxy around 5:15 pm. We got a little lost too when we entered Hollywood someone had put on the Google direction that it only takes 1 minute to get to vincent st and we got all confused (on the way back we found Vincent and it was 20 minutes from the Rox.
Well we were the first ones in line! No one got there until around 6:30ish. There was also a line for will-call and buying tickets, I never really knew what it was like being first in line, Once I paid the 3 bucks for being under 21 and had my ticket scanned I ran to the stage area, which is like wide, that stage it pretty big but it's not very tall it reaches to about an average person's knees but for me around my pelvis. Well it wasn't as packed for the first hour, that's when the first band went up called "Little Red Radio" Which were scene and electronic, and the Male singer reminded me of prince, I really liked the keyboard guy, he also played the piano. Well they were too crazy to open up is what I think the female singer was way too sexual and being the person in the front row in the middle I got a full view of her suggestive gestures, and well so did everyone else because she wouldn't stop grabbing her crotch, I think that I would have enjoyed their music really if they would tone down their sexuality, no my sort of thing.

The next band was called "new Kingdom" they were pretty okay, I really enjoyed watching the singer dance though, that guys got mad skills D: he should just break off and totally do an MJ continued legacy thing. They were very Rage Against the Machine meets Jimmy Hendrix, really awesome~!! They do not have a guitarist though, it makes their sound so...powerful, I never thought that could happen, but it was somewhat intense~!

The next band, (yeah three bands, it was sucky to wait >: )
Was umm...I think they were called Sabrosa Purr? I think it was Purr.
Well they were...interesting.
I felt like the lead singer should go solo and write really poetic grunge music because he reminded me so much of the KC it was scary D: even the way he stood and the way he vibrato his guitar and his look. Maybe it's his "look" or appeal?" They had a chick bassist that was really dressed rock'n'roll. She should be a model because her Bass playing is...less than impressive, she only strummed around 2 notes the entire set. I Know that there needed to be a harmony, but damn, would it kill her to at least make those two notes less boring? The lead guitarist was a bit of a douche bag, he's all like "ughh....they don't wanna have fun" and sighing, well what did they expect? They are a mellow indies screamo band at a Poly show...a POLY SHOW~!! The first band was electro and uppidy, they belonged there~!! the next band was also uppidy, they were not electro but they had charisma and good rifts. They played slow boring music that would have been cool if I was sipping tea in a club, or if I went to see them at their own show and was not expecting anyone else. They do play good music, in fact the only hard and fast paced song they played was the last one and it was enjoyable~!! I wish they had more music like that; I can see them going major if they did that and changed their name. I will say that I got a little scared when the lead singer/rhythm guitar guy started getting too close to the edge of the stage, and I thought he was gonna fall on my face I started freaking out and screaming into the girl next to me, but turns out he just wanted to get off stage, so he goes and does his "solo" thing in the crowd and everyone's taking pictures, and I thought that was pretty neat, he was actually pretty cool despite the bad reaction of the crowd, though I think it was just the Poly-heads there were people in the back cheering their hearts out, and you could tell they meant it,

Okay so Finally the Poly comes on.
[[I was actually short enough that I could bent down and before they came on I lift the curtain a little to check to see if it was the Poly and I saw two of them in their converse and orange suits and just freaked out!]]
They get Introduced -totally forgot what the intro guy said- but something about them returning to the states the Roxy welcomes all the way from Tokyo Japan das Poly love" okay. so...okay I'm not gonna lie, I go into jumping and squee-ing fangirlness I had no idea I was even capable of ~!!
so Jano is first to come out, that guy sis tall D: then Fumi, then Kayo, and Finally Hayashi comes out, and they are all totally like robotic setting up their instruments getting ready for the first song while the audiences cheered, it was so awesome XD
So the first song was "Young Oh! Oh!" I began to sing along and jump (this was possible only for this song)
but half way through it Hayashi got too close to the left side of the audience and we were all getting pushed back and forward and already I had people bragging on my shoulders and elbows trying to throw me to the back, luckily there was a huge wave of pushing on the right and I got pushed more in front (keep in mind there is NO FUCKING RAIL, and the stage cuts to a normal person's knees my hips.) so by the second song "Peach Pie on the Beach" I was able to push back and jump more comfortably, this song is so damn crazy I head banged to the "yay yay yay" Hayashi was already sweating a great deal around his collar by this time too~!! Energetic. He was kicking the air jerking his head to the sides while singing squeeing and screaming the lyrics. I think "New Wave Jacket" was next, I didn't get to enjoy this song as well as I might have loved, because that is when the DOUCHEBAG APPEARED. Okay so behind me where four little emo kids that wouldn't stop talking abuot Pokemon, and behind them were three Japanese older guys who were really really cool and also another girl on the right. Well this motherfucker came out of nowhere~!! He as like buzzcut tall white guy, wearing some fugly brown shirt and he tried to get between me and the girl next to me. I felt that I had less pressure on my right so I turned to see what the crowd was like...THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME SHOVING INTO ME EXPECT FOR THIS MOTHERFUCKER. So I turned to him and told him to back off, I've been waiting for 7 fucking hours for this, back the fuck off or I'd bite his fucking face off and cut his dick off. Well he mumbled something and I almost lost it and bit his arm, came to 2 millimeters of attacking him and being charged with assault. To this he shoved his elbow into me and I scrapped his shins with my docs, after this the pressure subdued and I came back in time to the show to catch the beginning of Hayashi's MC. He's all like, "Wassup guys? How you doing? You doing good? I see you guys,” and he totally pointed out the Polyheads that brought their black bar shades and their orange boiler suits with the P and "Polysics" over the chest. I was pretty awesome~!! Then he thanked us for coming to see them, at the Roxy, and he said that many artists they respect played at the roxy, and then he started to name all of these artists Devo, 5,6,7,8's or something and something else I did not hear D:
So then he's like "Roxy or Die!!!!" and then we did the "Die~!!" a few times he started all slow and then went fast and then slow again lol cute XDD
SO then he's like this is from our new album and they began to play the 'hits from the new album' Beat flash was next, I love this song~!! So of course I sang along headbanging so hard that I forced my hair to hit the douche bag's face. Fumi did a solo at this point I think and Hayashi was like 'introducing' the members? more like just pointing at them and going 'Kayo! Fumi! Jano!" The fucker was still trying to get between me and the other girl but I put my leg over his and locked it to the stage's bottom lining rail, it hurt but it helped, and also put my arm over his and repeatedly elbowed his chest. Hey this is das Poly Love it's srs business. Actually the mentality I had, I had planned to attack him when the concert was over, I'm not afraid of the cops D<


Also something so damn cool when they were playing "E.L.C.C.T." Hayshi had this synthesizer thing that would just like sense movements and go off into making all these crazy synths, it was so damn cool I didn't notice it before, oh yeah, at this song Hayashi got all close the the crowd turned around and stuck his butt out for the polyheads (their area) and was all slow dancing, it was pretty hilarious.) Next song was "Shout Aloud," okay Hayashi-San was getting really friendly with the crowd because I saw all these people touching his his guitar his legs, I was so damn jealous too I was like 'Come here Hayshi san~! D: if I don't get to touch him too why did I get there so early and sit through them boring bands? ID ) so eventually he did come to the front right in our faces, so I leaned over and totally could gab his guitar with my hand which is what I did >> then I tried to pull back my fangirly ness and settles for clutching on to his knee until he went to stand in front of the girl next to me and that section in which everyone also got to get grabby hands with him lol
Next song was one everyone knew, he spoke a little before playing it saying that it was from their last album, so we did the "Die~!!!" thing and then they played "I,My,Me,Mine"

Ahh this song was so crazy and by the way I got to touch Hayashi again and Fumi traveled over to Kayo's side by this time Hayashi so so sweaty when he came over to the front and danced it splashed me and the people in front of me and I'm turning to the girl next to me and freaking out and she is as well, and then I shoved the douche bag back because he backed off a little at this point, bad scarlet! He pushed me so far and hard to the front that my purse that was on the stage next to the speaker cracked~!
So I put it standing up to the speaker and tried to ignore that bastard once again, I was not giving him my place though so I just maintained my position. So next was "催眠術でGO" which Imma admit I had no idea when it started because they played right into it while I was dealing with the invader >: SOMEWHERE IN THIS AREA I LOST TRACK OF A SONG.

But I remember Hayshi coming to the front edge of the stage and I freaked out and stupid me started crying and resisted to reach out for him again, but failed I totally put my hand on his guitar and he shot a smile at me, ok so by then I started to really loose it and squee with joy. Next was "Baby BIAS" My favorite song right? Yay, so Kayo began to sing and I'm singing along with her and I notice the douce bag looking at me out of the corner of his eyes, I noticed that he didn't sing along to anything too, so why is he staring at me? idk I was just keeping my gaze on Kayo and Hayashi who started to do jumping jax and really weird/cool/funny hand movements and head-bang. Kayo was bobbing her head and swaying her head as she sung and when it came to the "baby baaiias" part Hayashi had us do this clapping hand thing lol. So I'm just singing dancing reaching out for Hayashi screaming my lungs out when it was over and then the intro to "Rocket" comes on and Hayashi is mouthing the lyrics at us doing this half 360 degrees arms in the air hands jiggling and they sway thing while Kayo is singing. By the way she really had stage presence, all robotic and cute D:

Next song "カジャカジャグー/KajaKajaGoo" I lost it D:
you know how many times I've rocked out to this song, so Before this song is played Hayashi is like "Alright everyone, let's all singing and dancing with meeeee~~!!!" he so cute even though he was sweating buckets :'D
So I can't help myself, I know all these lyrics and am screaming them at the top of my lungs Hayashi so close to me, omg loosing it "Yamino shodan shodan shodan shodan shodan shodan~!!!" unfortunately this was also the last song of the night D: so they walked off stage, and then the people came in to fix the stage push me and the speaker back (it moved a lot D: sorry, but I was being pushed I tried to not touched the stereo but within seconds I was back to clinging to it !!)
so poly comes back in Black tour shirts? I think? I didn't really pay attention to the shirts~!
Hayashi comes out and says stuff again, like thank you guys we love you guys or something, cannot remember.
So the first encore song is "Black Out Fall Out" and Fumi comes on to the front and plays her bass while Kayo is singing with a little bit more movement.
once again "Die~!!!" lol after this and then it was "Buggie Techinica" which I thought was a really weird song for an ending right? well they played so hard everyone was just rocking out to it and then it ended and they said goodbye and then Hayashi flicking his pic at the crowd, and the curtains began to come down so I reached out for the Hayashi's water bottle and clutched it to my chest grabbing my purse and my phone, which I left under the speaker~!! And turned to the douche bag who ran away !!
I was like "okay it's time to die—wtf~!? " well then," I hope he dies in a car crash, Imma go get a shirt." so I went to get in line at the merch thingy and I got talking to some of the Polyheads (the guys in the red and orange jumpers) and we're all like "omg did you see how he was playing his guitar in between his legs?" "omg I couldn't stop touching him, I feel horrible" and we're all just laughing having a great time it was fun talking to other poly fans :D
So I get my $15 dollar shirt from the girl at the stand and walk out with Erika (not before redeeming my drink ticket for some more water for Erika~!!) So we walk out and are heading to the parking lot where we left the car that was like a few feet from the place so we walk past the parking lot of the Roxy too, well I notice that someone in an orange jumper is walking out of the Roxy and towards a white van, omg...omg..could it be? it was Fumi~!! Erika's like "let's go~!!" and I'm all "no, it's stalking!" and then these girls go up to her, "hey they're taking pictures!" ahhh let's go!!
So I walk up to Fumi just done taking the other pics, "Hey can we have a picture please?" He nods and smiles none stop, and notices I'm short and leans a little to match my height lol we do the "V" and I can't stop laughing (totally forgot about my hair getting messy after concerts) so the pic is done she extends her hand to me and I tell her how much I love her and the Poly and she's just laughing and thanking me "Arigatou" and then she takes a pic with Erika~!!


so we're both happy we turn to leave and...and...HAYASHI COMES OUT~!! AHHSASDKJDASLDJAS; DDD88

I start freaking out and walking away, Erika asks him for a pic but he say "no please." very mellow too, friendly not grr Christian Bale style, so we walk away and then I hear someone calling so I turn around and it's Hayashi and he's calling for us to go over, so so flock there no questions asked, and he's like motioning a camera and saying "ok ok, speedy speedy" so I squee and we both take pics with him and he hugs us says "arigatou" all smiles and goes off on his way back to the Roxy carrying some type of case "for their cables?" it looks like it to me.

(isn't he tiny? x3 and so damn normal looking too D8)
so the Polyheads are there freaking out that they saw them, We’re freaking out that we took pictures with them, and I’m breathing way too fast. Bad. Erika calmed me down a little and we got to the car and drove back to the city.
omg omg omg, I still can't believe it happened lol
I really do hope that they come back, if not with Kayo then someone who is worthy of replacing her. I love Kayo very much but if Poly were to disappear I feel like that is a star in the sky going out, they provide such cheerful and enjoyable music, how many days have I had the worst days of my life and turn hit my iPod to some poly and completely forgotten it.
Please return to the states Poly and thank you for an awesome show~!!
