I’m not even ANYWHERE close to getting my ass to Japan or Korea, and I already know what I will be spending ALL my money on: fashion, marimo, and phone straps. xDD
Since I am such a BAD yaoi fan, I had yet to watch ANY of Junjou Romantica, well, until about 4 hours ago . . . **is totally 8 episodes in and hooked** the second season is downloading as I type . . . >_>
Point is, in episode 8, Misaki and Usagi go to Hokkaido and Usagi is all crazy obsessed over buying MARIMO. The minute I saw it said “green algae balls”, I was like “OMG MUST HAVE BALLS OF ALGAE!!”
So I used my magical (trans: google) powers and looked it up~ OMG I STILL MUST HAVE BALLS OF ALGAE!!!

You can keep them in TAP WATER! Duwaaaaah! So coooool~! O;
And, in the googling, I happened upon this adorable item:
Replica!Marimo phone straaaaaaaaaaaaaaps!!! And I ADORE phone straps!!
So I just kept looking and looking for more . . . none of the ones I liked have been ordered, though, because I need the money for cosplay!!
Speaking of which, my current projects are these:

Rin for me, and Len for my dear friend Jacob~
Miku for my BFF~
And, last, but in no way easiest–in fact, it is probably the hardest T^T :

Yoko’s gun from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. I am both excited and not to work on this thing . . .
Well, I’m off to covet marimo and phone straps~ <3
