#like I didn’t buy these for the value or to resell alter. I bought them bcs I’m mentally ill and think they’re cool.

If you get this answer with 3 random facts about yourself and ask the same to the first 7 people from your notes, anonymously or not :)
Okay I’m sorry these answers are kinda long. I’m extra.
1) I collect funko pops and CDS/music in general kinda. I own about 80 funkos now and according to the app it’s worth about $1,300 US dollars. Which I find hella interesting bcs I’ve bought some of my pops for only 3 dollars. I have a Gerard Way funko that I got for 3 dollars, and he’s worth about 50 now since it’s no longer in production. As for cds, I own about 60 and I have 4 vinyl records.
2) I have a cat!! He’s orange and his name is Archduke Passion Fruit Sherbert the Third. I call him Sherbert or Sherb. He also answer to “no don’t eat that” and “chonky man” (he’s very fat). He lives with my younger sibling in Oklahoma bcs I couldn’t take him with me when I moved out.
3) I didn’t technically complete high school. I went through an adult education center (a GED program essentially) to get my diploma. I moved at the end of my 3rd year of highschool (junior year) and my transcripts didn’t move right so the highschool I would have gone to was going to make me restart as a 2nd year (sophomore). I told my mother I refuse to repeat highschool and to let me test out. The highschool refused to let me test out and pointed us in the direction of the education center. Like a week later I had my highschool diploma. I was 16 at the time.
Like I said. I’m sorry these are hella long answers. I over explain myself a lot. But sometimes you need the backstory info for things to make sense. The last time I got this ask (it was forever ago) I said I’d never seen a Star Wars movie. That fact is still true. I also only had 51 funkos last time I answered this.

a little bit sick today so only went out for a little bit! went thrifting at a different thrift and got two STUNNING PIECES but don’t have ANY PHOTOS because they are being washed and I value taking them home clean more than nice photos :(
I got a tigerlily (it’s a brand, don’t know much about it but I believe they are known for bohemian clothing? unsure of their ethics) black bell sleeve wrap shirt in my size! Everything I’ve dreamed of and absolutely perfect for my styles (contextually I love to mix things up a lot in terms of how I dress so my wardrobe is absolutely not a capsule wardrobe, this is not an aesthetic blog), it was $25?!?! which seems a bit overpriced but it’s a perfect piece and fills a gap I’ve been trying to fill for a while. I’m glad I waited to buy a shirt like that because I’ve seen other ones for cheaper and wanted to buy but I knew something about all of them was slightly off putting (texture, colour, size) so finding the right one felt very rewarding! I tried on lots of other stuff and found quite a few cool things but nothing else fit except for:
A slightly too big vintage purple velvet midi skirt with a mesh frill and beadwork! it has now been altered so it’s not looking quite so nice unfortunately :( me and grandma fucked up but it now fits better and is very much still wearable and no one would really notice except me I hope! very Pinterest worthy and I’ve been wanting more pieces like that for a while but I’ve never found any in my size! some depop girl would probably resell it at like $50 as a whimsigoth 90s moment so I’m glad I found mine at $15 even if it is slightly damaged now…..
honourable mention to the BNWT eyelet belt pleated skirt I found which was way too big for me?!?! How cool for whoever takes that one home! and these two gems! such cute pieces but I am not a Sanrio ballet flats type of girl nor am I fully aware of who Oliver tree is (I was slightly too young during the hype). also found numerous other tigerlily pieces but they were bohemian in a I go to coachella and hate on stuff way? they weren’t the moment but there was also a tree of life beaded frill maxi skirt I may try go back for tomorrow, because I lowkey regret not buying it. mindful consumption and all but I bought a white one which is now too big for $150 from the brand a year or two ago and I doubt I’ll ever see another skirt like that so hopefully it’s still there!

no pics cause I’m lazy but we also got a blur cd and the cure?!?! and found deadstock men’s boxers from my parents business before they #broke up and it closed down and died and that filled my Pinterest girl dream of men’s boxers! weirdly lucky!
bonus mention to a depop buy of a navy cable knit v neck brandy jumper for $25. I understand I have overconsumed a little too much in the last few weeks but I also am moving schools to my old high school which has navy jumpers as part of their uniform. while this isn’t necessarily their branded uniform believe me when I say they will not care what brand jumper I wear or if it has a logo as long as it fits the school colours! I also don’t have much of my old uniform from the first time I went there despite the fact I only left for 2 months of the school year! I changed sizes and also donated a lot of my old uniform to my younger sibling who needed it. that purchase feels rationalised to me but definitely no need to go shopping again anytime soon, my wardrobe feels super complete with these purchases :) thank you for making it this far because frankly I would’ve scrolled by now <3
here’s a photo of my lunch

chicken and beef halal snack pack with cheese :) it was actually a huge mental challenge to think about eating this and I deliberated for months but I did it and didn’t even really think about it in the moment! a huge win and another step into normalcy.
