Got my wig in the mail! Haven’t opened it yet, guess I’m a bit nervous. I got a massive Temu delivery, like everything came at once and I was not expecting it. I sat down and opened stuff. Thought about making a video but I was in my jammies. Excuses! I “returned” a few things because they did not fit the description on the site, or just didn’t fit period. I got a belt and when I saw it said “the fuck kind of necklace is this?” It was that big around. You would have to be maybe a size xxs to get this thing around your waist. It only came in one size. It’s a real shame, I would have loved it were it big enough. I wound up with $30+ in credit. I got some really cool stuff aside from that. I’m going to have to take a picture of all the stuff I’ve gotten so far, because it’s a LOT.

I’m trying to get my peer support to confirm whether or not she’s coming at 9:30 this morning. I texted her and had a short conversation but I can’t get her to say yes or no even though I’ve asked plainly at least twice. I love this girl but she can be a little bit hard to communicate with sometimes…

Edit: checked out the wig, he didn’t tease the sides like I asked. I’m trying to do it like he did. I decided I liked the first one better but there’s not really anything I can do about it, pretty sure he’d be super annoyed with me! I’m going to order another one from him down the road. I just have to get some of these damn affirm and Klarna plans paid off first, I can’t compound any more.

Edit 2: Amazon refunded me $12 for something I don’t remember buying. Not complaining, but…???

Gah!

I had $6 in my bank account, suddenly I have $25. Impossible. I do not understand what is going on with my money! Can’t use it because it’ll probably go poof all of a sudden. I hate that.

I got one of my free gifts from Temu, a spiderweb mat. I think I’ll put it in front of the tv. It’s surprisingly large!

Speaking of Temu, I was looking around and found the same adorable bat plushie that I’d ordered off Etsy a couple months ago. It was cheap on Temu and the Etsy seller jacked up the price and I was under the notion that seller was making these herself or had designed them and has a manufacturer, and I was seriously impressed and gave her a glowing review. I’m disappointed. I know it’s not illegal to do this, I just think it’s kind of dishonest. I still love my little bat, he’s so soft, silky and squishy. I’m just astonished that it originally came from Temu and I could have paid a lot less. It’s come to the point that if I see something on Etsy that I want, I check Temu first. I want to support independent creators who make and/or design their wares, not resellers. It’s a shame, really! It’s a good business model but I’m not supporting it if I can help it. If I can get it cheap from China instead of all jacked up, I’ll do so 😆 *snorts*

I was considering doing a Goth Temu haul video on YouTube but I don’t want anyone seeing my icky face yet. Sure, I have my face as my avatar in a couple of places but YouTube? People are assholes there. It’s the anonymous effect. People can talk shit behind a keyboard way more easily than face to face because they know someone might knock their slimy trollish teeth out. I just don’t want to be called ugly 1000 times, no one does. Maybe I should wear a balaclava and sunglasses lol. I know a guy who does that. (The guy who wears that is MR SLAV, great channel.)

I’m chatting with the wig maker on Etsy and I’m trying to decide how I want the bangs. I already asked him to cut them a bit shorter because wig bangs are always over my eyes and I don’t trust I can cut them straight myself. I don’t want to ruin a $100 wig because I’m clumsy and have no idea what I’m doing. I’m just letting him do it haha.

My psychiatrist upped my dosage of Provigil to 200mg. I was on 100. Maybe this amount will give me the kick in the pants I need. If not, I reckon I’ll go up to 250mg, if she’s on board with it.

edit: I didn’t nap this afternoon! 😀 maybe this higher dose will really help!

Ugh, I am getting my hair buzzed next month. It is getting on my damn nerves because the lady at the Greatclips or whichever place it was (I get them mixed up) wouldn’t cut it short enough. This time I’m just telling them to buzz it to one length all over, and not to argue with me. I don’t know why no hairdresser will just listen to me and do what I want. It’s probably the easiest cut to do and I’m paying you, so DO IT. I wish I could go to Jess, my old hairdresser, but her prices have gone sky high and all I can afford is Greatclips. Jess got me. She never gave me grief over a damn haircut. Mom of course doesn’t want me to do it, but it’s my hair and money and it fucking grows back. I’ve been bald or nearly bald plenty of times. She should be glad I’m not growing a death hawk like I did 20 years ago lol. She HATED that. That hawk was so cool. Big, black, and teased all to hell. Ah well. It’s the past. I just want to be completely buzzed and comfortable now, and it makes it easier to wear my wigs and care for my scalp condition. I don’t know if it’ll be worth bleaching when it’s that short. I just hate my boring brown hair. Or dark blonde as Jess called it. And in some pics I look like a strawberry blonde ginger. Haha. I don’t even really know the actual colour of my own hair. 0_o;

Please someone give me tips on how to make a wig cap stay on. Please. They always bunch up on the top of my head after a while.

I think I’m going to ask the lady who runs the crudethings wig shop on Etsy if she will make this one in red:

And maybe without the reallly long bits in the back. Don’t know about that yet. I just think this would look great in a mixed red and burgundy colour. She states she’s willing to make them in different colours. I’m gonna have to wait a few months though until I can afford this wig because it is $300. I can see why, it must take a lot of work, and I honestly love supporting small businesses because they are innovative and provide more unique creations. Would you find this particular wig style anywhere else? Probably not. This shop also has some absolutely crazy dread wigs which are worth looking at, especially if your wardrobe has some colours besides black 😂 They remind me of candy!

Support small creators!

Edit: I once again could not eat tonight. I tried to eat some chowder and only got a few bites in until I got sick. Not sure what to do.

I got my floofy wig and I’m not sure how I feel about it. When it was described as a “rats nest” wig, I gues I thought it would be ratty and floofy, not totally matted in the back. The bangs need to be styled but I don’t really know how to do that. The wig is both synthetic and human hair mixed in. I do not want to singe or melt it. The seller was very gracious in his note that came in the bag, saying if I wasn’t totally pleased, I could have an exchange, a refund or he’d straight up make me a wig. I really appreciated that. I think I’m going to return it and ask him to make me one without all the matting and ask him for tips on styling and if it’s safe to use a curling iron or whatever. It’s actually a pretty wig if it didn’t have the extreme tangling in the back. I love big hair but yeah. He seems like a cool guy so I don’t think he’ll be offended if I ask to return it and get a custom one. ☺️

I love sellers like that.

Edit: I contacted him on Etsy and he was so nice about it! I now need to figure out how to return it to him. I’ve never returned something from Etsy, so I don’t know if they have a return system like Amazon does.

Look what I found

Posted in ,

I’m ordering this wig off Etsy;

I can’t grow my hair out anymore because I can’t care for it properly. I miss having long hair but I can’t do it with the scalp condition and whatnot. So, why not wear a wig? I like this one. It’s fluffy but not too fluffy. Ratty but not too ratty (I’ll probably smooth it out a bit though). It’s the hair I’ve always wanted. Theres also has a blond one with dread-like hair and what I call “Dracula bangs”. It’s a lot more expensive than this one.

There’s also a black one like this that I like.

I feel I might be patronising these creators quite a bit! The Etsy shops are artbox888 and crudethings. They’re really the only wigs I’ve seen that I liked. I do need a simple black bob as well. I have two that are eons old but can’t find them.

I saw my dermatologist about my scalp and he seems unsure whether the problem is sebhorric dermatitis or psoriasis. I wish he’d biopsied it. He prescribed me some drops to put on my scalp as well as a special shampoo (ketoconozal). The drops might make my hair greasy and honestly I just have enough fucking problems with my hair and scalp. I don’t know if I’ll use them. I might try, and if it’s too gross I’ll stop. Ugh. I can’t stand my entire head. Everything about it. Throw the whole damn thing away. 😕

I think I regret rejoining facebook. It’s actually ridiculous. I cannot express a non-positive emotion without getting a warning from their censorious, nannying AI. I was off that site for well over a year and it was kind of touchy back then, but it is threefold worse. It’s a load of sanitised fluffy bunny bullshit, and I hate it.

Also, someone started some shit in one of the groups I’m in and I got very angry. I don’t know why I’m bothering to try and make friends. I’m destined to be alone for the rest of my life.

Social media just isn’t good for anyone’s mental health, unless you’re a damn troll. I think I’m done.
