Out-of-body Experience
I think I had one. And it was horrible.
Let me start at the beginning. I don't sleep well, to say the least. So I take sleeping pills often to help get rest. Side affects are sometimes hallucinations, and nightmares. Some rest, huh? Last night at around 5AM I had a horrible nightmare, I woke up so distressed and startled that I awoke my boyfriend to comfort me. I asked him to turn the light on, but right as he did, I think I fell asleep again.
Next thing I know, I threw myself out of bed, to go to the bathroom. Except, I was still in bed. Or though, I thought I was. It was as if my body wanted to pee, but my subconcious was asleep in bed. I was not, at that moment, in control of myself. My boyfriend thought I was falling, as I said I threw myself out of the bed, and he grabbed me and yelled my name.
Then suddenly I awoke and was back in my body, and I started to scream in terror. Because I was standing, when I knew for a fact, I was asleep in bed. The thought that I was not in control, brought so much fear I was screaming as if I had been trapped and suddenly released.
It was horrifying, I don't ever want to feel that way again. My family all woke up of course. It was a mess, and hard to explain, I was shivering and crying and just so confused. I drank some Coke to give my body a bit of caffeine. And I couldn't get to sleep for a few hours after that. What a way to start a day.

New Craft Project on the Horizon
For a while now I've admired handcrafted resin work. I've seen a few shops do it on Etsy and Artfire. It's absolutely darling. I've always wanted to learn how to do it myself. And guess what. I have! I've already compiled a list of materials, and set a budget and did some projected sales. I think this will be a really good opportunity to make some money on Yardsellr. I'd really have an advantage since not a lot of people do this kind of work on there. I'm really quite excited! I shall make pendants, earrings, and rings! Can't wait!
I'm going to take this time and throw in a bit of advertising for myself. I have some very adorable Hello Kitty jewelry up for sale. Please have yourself a look! I'd muchly appreciate it!

Industrial Revolution
I look to capture a simplistic version of Edwardian and Victorian eras, with an influence of modern steampunk and haute couture. Natural tones, simple accessories, and a kick of style brings you to this collection set seemingly titled "Industrial Revolution".
Don't Call Me Gaga.
Lady Gaga tribute.
This is my latest set on Polyvore. I really do enjoy Gaga. I was so apprehensive about here when she had made it big, I usually avoid modern music if it isn't in social situations. I thought she might be a "One-Hit-Wonder" like a lot of these over the top style artists. But her theatrics, her ethics, and her ever changing style, might make her a legend. We'll see.

Wired.
I've been awake for a while now. Going on almost 20 hours soon. I feel wired, yet strained as well. I should sleep. But I don't really want to. Is this insomnia? Or does it not count when I choose to not sleep? Even if I wanted to sleep, I know I'll just lie there, thinking, endlessly about nothing. Then I end up exhausting myself, and still no sleep. Maybe I'm over thinking this. I tend to do that.
Peacocky
I love Peacocks. They are magnificent creatures. Here's a little set I put together, a tribute to those cocky birds.
A Room with a View
Just a little something I cooked up. Been quite a while since I did one of these (:
Let's have another go at this.
For a while now, I've been trying to start a blog. I have to say it's been difficult. I'm sort of an inconsistent person, unfortunately. I believe my downfall in this "blogging" business, is that I'm trying to hard to be thematic. I love the idea of themes in almost anything, except for, of course, myself. I'm ever changing to stick to anything to long, before it bores me to death. So, as an introduction to this new "project", welcome to my theme-less blog, The Bleeding Metaphor.
You must be wondering, assuming anyone will read this, where and what is this title I have chosen, "The Bleeding Metaphor". Well first, and foremost, I will thank this page, Codename Generator, for my title. I really had no idea what to call this, "blog". So, naturally I turned to Google, typed in "blog name generator", and behold, that website. I read through, then went to the generator, and after about 50 silly titles, up came Bleeding Metaphor. It instantly had me, it was me, it was how I perceive the world, how I think. Whenever I want to convey what I feel, I always use metaphors, similes, etc. I bleed metaphors! So it was really quite fitting, and it felt just right. So, there you have it.
One more thing, before I conclude my first post. My writing style varies, depending on what I did, how I feel. I feel very Pre-20th century at the moment, for I've been sitting on the couch all day watching British Pre-20th century movies and shows, and a plenty of Masterpiece Theater, a PBS series with different miniseries constantly running. So, do not be surprise by my sudden choices in words, and eloquence, or lack there of.
And with that, I bid thee, adieu.
