Mine is not that significant but it made my day

>Comm trip to an art museum last week for clothing exhibit
>Coord very reminiscent of minnie mouse
>Walks past very young girl (probs 5yo) and her dad on the way down the stairs while the rest of the comm took the elevator
>"OMG DAD DID YOU SEE THAT, THAT GIRL IS MINNIE MOUSE, SHE IS SO PRETTY"
>Ear-to-ear grin because I love when little kids get really excited when they see me in lolita

This was shortly after I got news of something shitty happening within my family, so it really helped me cheer back up.

Not related to lolita, but I have the first weekend off in over 4 months, finally can go to a bloody con this summer.

I'm going to get her something in return once I have more funds in my account again. It was so sweet that she did this for me. I believe her style is classic/aristo so I'll see what I can do.

The deal is, he'll buy it for me and keep it at his house, but he is not to let me have it or wear it until I pay him back in full, no matter how much I beg. I'm just so happy, I've spent hours lying in bed and staring at the wall, thinking about how much I wanted it.

I think someone bought the same Meta skirt off of me saying it's actually a gift for someone else. If that was for you, I am so sorry for what happened but your friend was a real sweetheart and I hope you enjoy the skirt.

If you drop your email I might be able to send you the detachable clip for the skirt as well - I thought I lost it so I didn't include it.

See, this is why you cant ever devote yourself to your girlfriend too much. Keep them craving your attention and approval at all times.

I guarantee you, once you know he is 100% into you and all you do, you will drop him and look for another mind to completely take over.

[Anonymous No.8503667]

No, I'm pretty sure that would just be kind of a happy bonus? Most people are never really 100% into each other otherwise they would be kinda obsessive and creepy?

I just got admitted to the Master's degree that I was aiming to. I have never had a job, was depressed through a major part of my undergrad and have mostly felt like a constant setback/money drain to my parents (late/unexpected child, they're old and deserve their retirement but they're still taking care of me whn they should be investing on themselves and their grandaughter).

I am looking forward to getting an actual future, becoming independent and having my own source of income. I just want to have a hold on my life so badly.

Congrats anon!! Master's programs are really hard to get into so I really admire your determination and dedication. I hope you do really well and when you can support yourself I hope you can treat your parents a little bit. They sound very nice.

Everyone's selling all their pastel AP shit and I'm so happy. I finally get to own the dresses I used to fawn over in 2012 with the GLBs, and for so much cheaper than they used to go for. It's like I'm buying legends to me.
I've bought 3 dresses in two months, and I'm trying to reign it in, but I'm just so happy to have each one, and I want to wear lolita fashion everyday. It's easy to tell that I was a surpressed bodyline-chan for years.

Because they'll really appreciate those times you show cross-interest? I'm not seeing the negative here.

Pretty sure that's not healthy for either partner...

I hope you have a better day, Anon.

On another note, some non lolita friends helped me pick out new items for a coordinate for the first time, and they work perfectly! I might be a little disproportionally excited about that, but it means so much to me when my non frilly friends "get my fashion thing".

I also cried, a good cry, not petty over the hotel room or anything else just "yes you beautiful woman thankyou" kind of cry.

As an art graduate, your bittersweet moments will become great memories of expression later. soak it up with your brain sponge. im being weird, feeling too nostalgic.

also, ive given this advice before but im really hammering it home. Art shit is never finished, just abandoned. and ive come to love that those things, with their flaws, affect people.

Over one year ago, I saw a girl at a con who was having some trouble with her cosplay skit, she didn't have anyone to help her and she ended up failing it.
>be in line since I too would be in a skit soon
>talk to her, ask if she's ok
>she cries
>I ask her if she needs help and if she will be coming again another day so I could be her staff
>she says she's coming again the next day
>tell her I'll be there without costume waiting for her then

Next day

>meet her next to the stage
>she tells me what the whole idea is
>we perform the skit, even with the con staff being assholes to her because of the previous day
>she even did that thing where you change clothes on the stage
>I was glad to see her smile

Fast forward to last week

>she talks to me on Facebook
>dropping the character, doesn't want her costumes anymore
>tells me she wants me to take them because she knows I would take good care of it
>wouldn't accept payment or anything in exchange


So.. I gave her a thank you gift and she gave me the costumes, which are amazing and detailed, fit me perfectly and aren't damaged at all.
I feel happy since the thought of me, but at the same time worried about her and why she doesn't want to cosplay the character anymore, so I told her if she ever wants them back, she just has to ask me.

I'm still confused.

[Anonymous No.8517254]

>>8516177
>why she doesn't want to cosplay the character anymore
The memories she had with it might have been bad enough that she wouldn't want to wear it anymore, or wouldn't want her face associated with that costume at other cons in the area. Or she feels like she's simply outgrown the character and has gotten enough wear out of it to satisfy herself.

Congrats on the score, though, and hooray for being a good samaritan and getting rewarded!
