in the lps trenches (blog #2)

ok so i was hanging out with my friend the other day and i was reminded of lps!! fast forward to today and i spent 100 dollars on facebook marketplace on an lps lot. i am still unemployed. idk what it was about it tbh, i just fell down the rabbit hole and lps popular and the music videos and i just folded. i feel like recently there's been a lot of emphasis on nostalgia with like 2020 trends resurfacing (idk if it's just my instagram/tiktok but that's what i've been seeing) and idk! quarantine was never fun, though. never forget that. it SUCKEDD. but anyways. back to lps. i want to play with them again!! i want to make an lps series like i always wanted to!! i gave my lps to my little cousin when i got rid of them, but sadly she eventually donated all of them :( . so i'm stuck buying them all back on ebay and facebook marketplace and offer up. 

its kinda fun searching for them on all these different platforms, but i miss when they would be at garage sales. i never got any lps new. and i honestly preferred it that way. there was something so exciting about going to garage sales with my mom when i was little and digging through the toy bins!! i would BEGGG my mom for any lps sets i would find, and i'd always be so proud when i was able to convince her. looking back, she probably was pretending for my sake. because for a huge bags of them it was like 8 bucks. the lps inflation honestly is insane. a lps i used to had is selling for 50 bucks??? 

ok here's a little story time: i came home from school one day and my parents were chopping down some sticker bushes (ik some people call them thorn bushes) and they gave me some gloves and told me to sweep up the wreckage. and they weren't paying attention to me too much, so being the little trouble maker i was i started sneaking further into the sticker bushes. and for some reason there was a ton of shit in the sticker bushes (honestly probably things me and my brother accidentally threw and lost and eventually forgot about it) and i brought back a haul of a frisbee and two hula hoops before my parents noticed and yelled at me to get out of the bushes. but! before they reached me! i found one more thing! a cat lps lying face down on the floor of the sticker bushes! so i quickly snatched it up and ran inside before my parents could catch me. and then i locked myself in the bathroom so i could clean off my new prized possesion. it was suuuuper dirty and nasty but with some scrubbing it was ok!! in my mind, this lps was like a RELIC. it must've been there for years... maybe it was some part of a prophecy or something... maybe i was the chosen one... but that's the story. ended up getting rid of it with the rest of my lps. it was #5, if anyone was wondering. it was worth getting all scratched up for, though. maybe i'll buy it back someday, idk. probably not though. 

i need to get better at story telling. i used to have this friend that would make the most mundane story sound like the greatest tale ever told. i knew her for like 7 years, but i never got a hang of her strategies... but!! thats ok!! trust that my upcoming lps drama series will have the best story telling known to man. i never realized how insane all the series were growing up. i didn't know what half that stuff meant. i just liked looking at the lps. 

honestly, i have nothing else to talk about. i will be trying to get more into gyaru makeup shortly though!! hopefully i can get some self tanner or something to fully dedicate to the look.. i will also hopefully be getting side bangs soon.. i really hope they look fire on me. i have a round face but a small forehead so a lot of people have told me not to get them. but they have a grip on me. i have to. also one girl (who is arguably the coolest girl i have EVER met) told me to get it. so shout out to that alt y2k baddie for hyping me up. hopefully she isn't praying on my downfall. i'm really excited for all of this, though!!! i've always wanted to alter my appearance ('glow up', if you will), but i've always waited to be older or different, idk. i just never really executed it. but hopefully now i will!! i have a bad habit of waiting for things to happen to me instead of going out and making things happen. unfortunately my tv shows will not live my life for me. i am leaving these habits behind in 2024!!! 

hopefully everyone's resolutions are going good if you had any. 

my 'g' key is a little stuck so sorry if any words are missing a 'g'. i tried to fix them all but i mightve missed them. 

thanks for reading!!
