UPDATER

Lisha's Appreciation 

So my mini appreciation give away is drawing to a close for 2014! Still have to contact the others to finish that up! Thank you, you all. I know I can be a bitch, cranky, and a lil bossy or something... idk. haha, but thank you for stickin through! I know I haven't been on my updates like I used to, but you know I always come up with something fuckin awesome, right?! Right.This makes me excited to do this and show the people who have supported me for this long, tolerated me (heh), and what not throughout my geeked out, galtaku (otaku for gal stuff) journey. 

Mini Store!

Instead of having things up super lowkey like I did on facebook for dreadfall orders/nails/hats etc, I have two ministores now so you can defo hop on some of the things I make. I will tweet and Pinterest about updates about my items and maybe do a blog post or two about anything super exciting. 

Right now, you get a sneak peek of my Storenvy Items before they go up officially for 2015.

The presale will start on the 15th

I am excited to do this and hope you are too! 

NEW Projects!

I am helping Kamilah on her Artsy Maid Cafe project for the Summer of 2015! 

I hope to see you there when we open!

                I am also working again with Sugar Gamers as a guest writer and will also materialize every now and again on their Twitch days on Thursday and Sunday.

MISC.

I also have a VINE account you can check me out on for quicker clips in between Youtube and blog postings. 

Love you all, and happy holidays if I get a lil MIA before any Christmas postings! 

Knitting and Advertising

SO, I saw the commercial for Strange Hobbies, about a shopping service for groceries etc.
The guy is supposed to be "knitting" but everything is crocheted around him.

You may be wondering, "LISHA WHO CARES?! THIS BLOG USED TO BE ABOUT GYARU FASHION. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TALKING ABOUT RANDOM ASS COMMERCIALS ABOUT HOBBIES?! "

Yes, I am super aware of that. I am aware that I really haven't talked about my make up, or what lens I want to buy, or my shopping sprees of late. Like, who is interested in what I am eating or crafting anyway?! Maybe some of you are, maybe not....

But, the matter at hand is, I CAN TELL THAT THOSE CLOTHES AREN'T KNITTED! WTF
Why does this even bother me so?! >____<; ugh.

Its just a silly commercial.... no need to get heated right?!

What commercials do you find yourself face palming at lately?

Fka Twigs

I went to see Fka Twigs at the Metro on Thursday night. My day went a little shitty, but I still made it out to see her perform. I went alone to the concert, a first , haha, but I enjoyed myself.

Sucks that I didn't take any pictures! My phone's battery died faster than usual. I had worn my white wig and a chain and just wore all black... I didn't have any pictures of that either. SHAME ON ME, right?!

The concert was kinda spiritual for me in a way. Yes, it moved me like none other!
I hope she will come next year so me and a old friend can go together next time. Maybe it will be when the weather is warmer so I can really dress up!

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, I missed a different band's concert. Why did they have their concert on the same day? Geez!

I even met a new Colum person too! He is a music major and likes some of the same music as I do. I hope he was able to enjoy the concert too, and I wish him luck on his years at Columbia!

Hold That Pose For Me/might be a galvip article

2014? (date was deleted off)
So, as many of you probably know, I have dabbled in some modeling escapades over the past few years.
I had wanted to do so, and decided to take that chance in diving in, helping a few Columbia students, to working with some Chicago photographers in their studios.
It was definitely a learning experience, from going from:

Photo Cred DollySO STIFF!!

I am no pro at this, but I feel like it has helped me at least drop a little awkwardness for photographs after someone saying something on the lines of "LEARN HOW TO POSE!" 

To learning how to pose and capture an expression.

I still get a lil weird with poses, but glad I was able to push myself further with some great pointers from people who knew best!

As they say, and it is true, we are our own WORST critics. 

I had to get used to angling my legs the right way and all that, and also not angling the face too up or down.

Bye Bye GGA

Watch the clip here

Since we both have quite a handful of mutual friends, I am sure the lot of you have seen the official end (at least a wrap up for 2013-2014) of the GGA's. For those who are new to the blog and this fashion, "Gaijin Gyaru Awards", an award show created by Lady Li for the Western Gal community. 

An award show that was to have the community participate in something other than the drama and G_S, and not only that, to have some sort of entertainment for us as well besides the gyaru magazines. Like, c'mon, who cannot say that the para para clips sent in were pretty awesome and a good idea!!

I think that with anything created in the world, in and out of the gyaru community, there will always be people who will love it, feel indifferent, and also show their dislike for it for whatever reason. As for the GGA's people will be mad and probably were,  because they weren't nominated but someone else did or for the fact that the Award show existed. Like dayum, we can't have nothin nice! haha

I felt and still feel really honoured to be asked to be a Presenter for the GGA's! Though I was only a presenter for the GGA's, thank you for your hard work, Lady Li, and also those who had sent in clips and what not, to have made this happen. I thought it was a very sweet gesture and gift to the gyaru community.

Thank you

Halloween

Well, I had to work that day, but that's alright. I should have done a bit more to my make up that day even though I was going to be in uniform anyways, but the weather was too gross outside! Not only was it windy, it was drizzling and chilly too. I am surprised my lashes stayed on!

I heard that some kids and parents skipped trick or treating this year because of the weather conditions. Hopefully next year there will be pleasant weather for it.

Adult potions!

I am glad that one of the other store workers had some Halloween Spirit! And even more happy that I got to see some people in costume too! I found 2 Waldo's, Princess Leia, a stormtrooper, and a baby giraffe to name a few!

Did a lil promoting for a maid cafe project!

  So, as of right now, the second project I am assisting with is with the (redacted)! We hit 200+ likes this week which is super awesome! I felt super amped again at the end of the day.

This should have been my Halloween look though... Creepy face and all! ahahah.

As some of you may have seen or know, besides normal life stuff and drawing, I have been doing more Youtube vids in my spare-ish time again! I am glad that I got the energy and ideas for em, and even more glad that some of them have made some people laugh too which is pretty awesome!
Though the vids I am posting now is kinda different and will differ from what I used to upload, I hope that anyone who comes across them will enjoy them. :-)

Here are some links for you to watch!

Goofin Around With the Shooping

I am so bored, a lil frustrated and dealing with off and on again creativity. I feel so anxious being out of college! But, sometimes, I do channel that anxiousness into a project or portfolio piece.
Anyways..... I got super bored... and was really inspired (REALLY INSPIRED) by Riri's feature and cover spot for W mag. My female roommate threw the mag away and I was pretty pissed off cuz I found an American mag I liked, but I was glad the mag cover was online though.

So.... I decided to use some past pictures from photoshoots and did a slightly mature/mainstream Gal Vip mag layout parody. (=^o^=)

Rihanna, eat your heart out! >:D

What's the must-have lust-have burando for the fall season?.... I have no clue, you tell me!!

Alternate "covers"

Here are some other pix I was thinking of using from old shoots.

The far right one... looks more like something for Halloween I guess. 

I had fun with this, even had some nice chuckles too. 

Until next time!

Happy Birthday to Me

from Santasvillage.com

Another year has spun for me. A lot more lessons learned, more music listened to, more steps walked.
Today I'm just trying to chill out. Gelato, cheesecake and pizza in hand, listening to Jhene Aiko and Fka Twigs, trying to just sort out the rest of the day and also the rest of the year. Thinking a big &^#$& you to some things and just trying to soothe my overactive mind. Sometimes I think its a curse to be so creative and also not wall yourself off from people in the process.
Also still looking forward to my second/new job too.

A trusted individual and even the person who reviews my portfolio tells me to chill out and to be kind to myself. Like, damn... have I been that hard on myself and stressing that much lately? Its not like I don't have a reason not to, but gah...
Well, I'm gonna find something to watch or listen to and just do a lil something productive, like completing 50 million more job apps.

The Diary of an Ugly Duckling

I've been writing for many years now and online blogging about my journey into JFashion for about 7 years. That is a lot of words. A lot of characters. A lot of pages and I am well aware this post may just be too text-heavy to read for some...

From being a glasses with a cord attached, gifted program, A and B honour roll ugly duckling student,to being obsessed with alternative and Jfashion in my young adult life, at least with fashion, things have changed. I switched out baggy male jeans and t-shirts for slimmer skinny jeans and black hoodies like some emo kid to switching it out again to look like a walking block of colour... but of course at times wearing mostly all black.

Fashion Walk

The past two fashion walks were fun stuff!

 Couldn't help the rainy day running on a fashionable parade, but one thing does irk me. At the Harajuku Fashion Walk, a few picture takers were quite rude to some of the people who were left over from the Walk, and I was not too pleased.

 You don't have to be that frantic for a photo. And show some respect.
People like that tire me out because are there any manners??

whew.... But aside from that.... I look forward to more fashion walks in the Windy City. 

Until next time!

Harajuku Fashion Walk

Fashion Walk-Harajuku Version

I attended the Harajuku Fashion walk on Saturday. I got to strut my stuff with the other very fashionable people all decked out in our gear in Downtown Chicago! From cool to kawaii, we took lots of pictures and chatted with each other. 

Fall Fashion Inspiration

Clothes clothes clothes... Happy October 5th! Its pretty much fall now, and I have not even prepared anything for it fashion wise. I never really do. Chi-town fall and winter are just not my thing. But, I am trying to get some ideas to execute for the fall and winter to look cute for once. heheh

Nicki

Though I'm not usually partial to knits (I don't think it suits me much)., This one is just so cute! Nicki, you have my heart with this outfit!

PuriKura For Illinois!

Why Illinois and not Chicago? Because I am from the City,not Bloomingdale. That is all. ;p

So, from this source, it looks like there will finally be some purikura, or photo booths for people not in the loop, for taking super cute photo stickers to share with friends. Hallelu!

For the people who were and still are friends of purikura machines and the cute lil stickers in Chicago, this is and can be great news and a major update. We had a print club booth that was regularly out of order and one could not even use custom backgrounds with their pictures that was customary with these types of photos. Then there was the photo booth that was in Chinatown.... I am not sure which one was even better at that point. The pictures were usually a touch too dark compared to the dated photo booth that was located at one of the arcades near Mitsuwa.

I am looking forward to checking out these booths when it opens up! Just need to find a way to get out there....

You can check out more information here:

Floating Through the City

I sit at my new fave coffee shop, Argo Tea for a quick snack of Macarons with a lovely touch of Hibiscus tea on the side. When I feel like I have the time, I take a stroll in my city. I tend to wander mostly in the downtown area, taking in the sights and sounds of various parts that are still yet hidden to me.

I decided to walk through Old Town and make my way over to the Magnificent Mile. The luxury stores seemed most spectacular on a sleek, moonstone grey rainy day.

I like to pop in and out of stores in the Water Tower. There is a Henry Bendel store that opened up several years ago and also a super cute and brainy Marble Store.

Henri Bendel is one of the stores that Gossip Girl's Blair shopped from. It originated from New York in 1895, their iconic print is a vertical white and brown stripes, and Henri also assisted Coco Chanel in bringing some of her items to America from Paris. How romantic!! <3

Giving the store a look see, I fell in love with some of the purses and accessories. I am also a sucker for the cute little charms they had there too! They also had cute doggy goods too! So adorable!
Though I couldn't get pix inside, I saw that stacking lots of bracelets were totally in in the store. Yippu! >:D


Though I am not a big Gossip Girl fan, I know that my sister and also Ms. Ariell are! Maybe Ariell will come to Chicago one day and check out the store...

Pic courtesy of The Brain Store

I also was highly interested in The Marble store, a place filled with games and books to exercise your brain! I got to play a bit of Anomia, a card game whose name means "not to know". It is a phenomenon when you stall and can't think of an answer, something I do at times. Playing the game a lot is said to help lower the time you stall when you are thinking with a lot of pressure put on you.

I also got to play with these little things called Brain Drops. They expand in water and you can pop them at people! A few of them were popped at me and totally caught me by surprise! XD

Edmund, one of the Marble Store people,  showed me a few various games, and also suggested a trivia book for me to read called The Book of General Ignorance which busts myths throughout history! Weird title >___> but it dispels a lotta stuff in it. SOOOOO, I am glad I got a new book for my collection.

Lisha Misha On Society6
I have been quite shy about showing my art and even more shy about selling it over the years. I've sold some drawings and paintings here and there, and maybe showing off a piece of art here and there too. I am not quite sure why it scares me, but, I hope people will enjoy and appreciate them!

I am also going to (hopefullllly) have prints to sell at anime and comic cons for next year too. A lot of people have been asking about them when I attend these conventions, and I hope to be prepared for once!

Chicago Alternative Fashion Walk

New Banner!

Whew! Not only did I update the banner for my Youtube channel...

I also got to redo my banner for my blog too! 

Old

New

 Yippu!

The old one wasn't working for the new background I had. Too black and white and the size was just not ready too. For some minor changes, also changed some of the fonts too so its not too busy.

I feel like I should have thrown something fall-esque in there... like some pumpkins or leaves. Maybe I will pop something in there one of these days. hahaha 

~~Updates~~

So, I have been trying to find a second job or freelance these days. Having another month of no work is not really fun. I applied to a few retail shops and firms. I am trying to stay calm, but I feel like a tea kettle almost at boiling point. :/

Plus, my skills still need refining for normal life/career. *sigh* 

I feel super lost in this post college life. Some days feel really good and I get hopeful, some days seem bleak. I just want to wake up and have it be like a script... wake up from a play or something. lol 

I also don't really get Linkedin either. I was told several times I needed one, but it feels like another Facebook to me...just more boring! I know it is for work, but geez... (-__-;

Other updates... I have been working out and meditating off and on again. Sucks my diet is horrid at the moment. I miss my veggies! 

I have been doing more Youtube vids again! It feels kinda good. I am glad people are enjoying them! 

I am amped for the Alternative Fashion Walk hosted by myself and two of my ColumAlum, Brit and Krisi! I hope you stay tuned for pictures! 

Urban Outfitters Strikes Again!

From Fashweekly.com

So, Urban Outfitters does it again. Trying to sell tasteless "vintage" shirts (or a shirt), this time with a painful touch from a recent past in American history. I think by now and all their other "mishaps" are done on purpose to garner attention from the public. "Look at me! I'm being unnecessarily edgey using shock tactics!"

This snippet was taken from the Business Insider page where I found the article:

 "It was never our intention to allude to the tragic events that took place at Kent State in 1970 and we are extremely saddened that this item was perceived as such," the company wrote in a statement. Urban says the red stains (definitely not blood) are from natural discoloration and the holes are from regular wear and tear. 

Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/urban-outfitters-kent-state-sweatshirt-bloodstain-2014-9#ixzz3DQ7TIdvE

They claim the holes are from normal wear and tear... but this shirt is manufactured to look like that! And no one, LIKE NO ONE said, "Hey, this school suffered a tragedy way back when... maybe this is a lil tasteless?" A quick google search could clear up a thing or two ya'know! Maybe that is just their gimmick.

I think their meetings go like this:
Person 1:"Let's come out with something shitty over and over again to upset a different group of people."
Person 2:"...Then when people get too red in the face, just take it off the market! What do you guys think?"
Person 1: "Sounds like a plan! lulz"
Everyone else: "YAY!!11!!"
Person 1: "Sooo... What offensive thing should we produce next?"

I am expecting something new and tasteless to come out from Urban Outfitters before this time next year. Let's see if my prediction and psychic abilities prove me right!

Nascar + Sprint Event!

Before I went to my meeting with my Colum Alumni and former classmates on the 11th, I strolled from the Water Tower to the South Loop, snapping pictures and loving the grey weather. It was a bit chilly, and I knew it was fall already. Summer came and left too quickly! Oh well...

As I was walking towards the South Loop where my school is, I noticed a giant screen right before you hit the Chicago River! Sprint Vision? Big screen? Huge crowd? What the hell was goin on?!

Are they all going to the event too?! 

 I had to wander over here for a nice moment to see what was going on!

Even the Red M&M came out for the event too, ahahah!

Let me be your driver!

 I had to...

Crop it like its odd!

I don't think this particular racecar model was available to be sat in like the yellow one. Blue's one of my fave colours but oh well...

Saw this painted horse dedicated to the police of Chicago.

I liked the metal gears on his butt, but no Solid Snake here!

Random, but these cute lil birds stopped by the event too!

I wanted to be in this booth so bad! Or on stage talking as one of the hosts so bad! Maybe one day....?

Toyota Camry car model for 2015. Sleek, burgandy red, and not mine! :(

Cute lil doggy with booties! Too adorable for words, and very friendly too!

Eastern European guy who took my pic near the Chicago River.
 We chatted a bit before parting. 

When I was leaving the event after chatting with some fellas, (I actually got an age guestimation of 20 this time! I AM NO LONGER A HIGH SCHOOLER NOW! YIPPU) I got asked for my picture by this guy up here ^.  We chatted for a bit. He was here in Chicago til September for vacation. He seemed to like Chicago and might even come back! We parted near the edge of Millenium park where Cloud Gate sits.

For anyone attending the Nascar racing event, tell me how it was!! :D

Take Yo Wankin — Elsewhere!!

I got ready today to eat a meal at a nice restaurant that I've been to. A nice meal of savory broth, delicious noodles, and heavenly duck and pork meats, way better than eating a party size bag of Baked! Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles chips and some chocolate chip cookies. 

I slurped my noodles, nibbled my duck and pork meats, and sat content like a cat about to doze off for some minutes. 

Yippu! Should have gotten one with miso broth though!

Afterwards, I wandered a bit in Chinatown, the near desolate streets seeming a little comforting from the hustle and bustle of the morning hours. Wait... Can't get any peace just trying to find a place to sit and digest my noodles! A guy shouts "Aye Sexy" from his car, and also tries to double back as I try to walk a bit faster. I find someplace to sit, but notice a white car, similar to the one that passed me sitting, and then try and park near New Chinatown. 

Great...

I walked to the park to avoid any confrontations. Nope nope nope nope.

Wasted time elsewhere taking in how the light reflected off the slight waves of the water and watched a cute little duck walk past me trying to find food. Sorry lil guy, I prolly ate your dad!

After maybe 30 minutes or so, I start to head home via Red Line. I swipe my Ventra Card and about to walk through the turnstile, and some bozo does a gesture like he's trying to lift up my fucking dress. Really? (Thank goodness I am wearing some badass looking leggings, but still.)

On the Blue line, waiting to arrive home, I notice some shlick shlick shlicking sounds near the train door. Some guy is wanking like no tomorrow! WHAT THE SHIT! NO ONE WANNA SEE YOUR FILTH! 

DISGUSTAMO! 

GROSS!

PUKE-A-RAMA.

He left the train car when it arrived to the next stop, worming his way from anyone trying to catch him.

The filth I witnessed today wasn't even the first. A similar incident happened back in 2008 while I was minding my biz, reading manga or a knitting book after a high school art program let out. Kept seeing this odd repetitive motion near me. He bounded away when I got up.

Ladies, gals, girls, and everything in between, BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! These pervs don't give a damn out here! Be safe. I think that if you want to wear short skirts or dresses, wear some shorts or briefs or something under: So You Want to Wear Something Short?

Dearly Beloved

I have been listening to A LOT of GreenDay Songs lately. Greenday, P!ATD, Fall Out Boy etc. Brings back memories!! Summer break is almost over and... well, I am not in school anymore. ;-; But I have been thinking of taking some sort of class... But what?
Here are some lyrics for you to enjoy!

Dearly Beloved

Are you listening?
I can't remember a word
That you were saying

Are we demented
Or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between
Insane and insecure

Oh, therapy
Can you please fill a void?
Am I *redacted* or am I
Just overjoyed?

Nobody's perfect and
I stand accused
For lack of the better word and that's
My best excuse
(Green day, Dearly beloved, American Idiot)
~~~~~~~~~~~
translated:::
dear (fill in the blanks), are we communicating effectively to each other?
Are we letting illogical things get in the way of acting normally?
 Or, is it just me?
Maybe its just the middle ground getting in the way, walking on a thin line, a tightrope in between two extremes as not to seem either way at all.
Hey, therapist, what the hell is wrong with me? Just tell me something so I can understand what Im feeling. I can't seem to act normally, am I dumb, or stupidly happy?

Not a perfect person. Yea, I said it. Sometimes I can't get the perfect word out at the right time, so that's all I got.

Infinity Loop + err0r

I saw one of my past French Teachers on Thursday! It's been about 7 or so years of being in his class. My French has gotten so rusty over the years.C'est Mal!! I even forgot how to reintroduce myself in the heat of the moment. It was sad. He told me to keep working hard and all that. .

I have been getting good advice from friends and mentors lately. Its like a pep talk or one of those huddles before you do your thing or play football!

SO!!~ I did the thing. I made another mini video for Youtube. 

I would have loved to actually wear a nurse uniform for this.... but oh well. Maybe next time, right?
I wanted to tell a story between robots/androids. One is aware that the other is malfunctioning due to bad reprogramming or malware, but the one that is, isn't.

And, even though all this stuff about doll people or whatever thats in right now... nah. I prefer catgirls and robots! Which totally takes me back to my old online gaming and Apocryfa ones too. 

Updaterrrr

WOWZERS.
So much to process lately, and this might be long so.... grab a snack!

This past week has been a lil crazy. Maybe its just me...  Just trying to get out of this rut I've been stuck in for a bit. Being in a rut when you are trying to be productive and get things done and not stall (ehhh...)... gahh.... its no good at all...

pic courtesy of Sandra
Levitation powers!

Saturday I made a new piece of art for a new cafe. I hope they do well! Sandra met me up there, and I also saw some of my buddies too! I also went to Soundbar in the loop to dance. I wore super tall high heels, and I think I did pretty ok in them. heh heh heh. But makes me sad because I want to do some major shoe shopping! ;-;

The weekend was mostly just chilling. No working or trying to do something productive which was nice. Ok... maybe I still did some thinking.  ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉhehehe



On Tuesday, I got to watch this movie called Lucy  with a classmate from some years ago! I think I was a freshman or sophomore at that time when we met. I had wanted to see the movie from some months ago when the trailers were out. I really liked the concept of using more parts of your brain than you normally do. (sadly, its a myth...) And someone being able to be of the universe more than just acting within it. Anyways...

From variety.com

The movie was pretty badass. Choi Min Sik, the guy who played Oh Daesu in Oldboy was in it too! Even though tumblr people were upset about some possible racial things of the movie, I think they were going a bit overboard in a way. OMG WHITE GIRL KILLING ASIANS. But did you realize the location of the movie at all? I do get it a bit though, Asians are stereotypically the bad guys in these films in the USA. Oh well. I guess it will take America more time to let go of the B.S. in films etc.

Gurl Put in Work

So, it has been about 6 and a half months since I started my new part time. Though my schedule has changed a bit dramatically, I am pretty happy that I stuck it through this long! Yippu! Some of ya'll are probably thinking, like... "That's an accomplishment?" hahaha

I was laid off in about 2011 from a different part time. I only lasted for about a few months. It was my first official job while being on break from college and not affiliated with a summer school program. It was incredibly stressful in that industry as a coffee girl. People who aren't hyped up on their caffeine yet, giving you a damned hard time. Pair that with little assistance from co workers doesn't keep things running smoothly. Ya know, teamwork makes the job work. But I learned a lot though, and seeing donuts that aren't lined up correctly bugs me til this day.

How you want yo coffee?

Another place years later just wasn't working for me. Unfortunately, they wanted me to be there everyday after I left school, which meant me spending money I didn't really have to be there, and also me using up days to be doing art or networking for my true passion. There were a lot of other problems too other than just work ones and I rather not bitch too much about. lol But.... I got to learn an ipad program.... yippu?

I've been trying to find a place that would let me be there and grow in my own way ( I think I kinda found one for the time being), but, I guess a lot of places want you to be on it like 0 to 100 from the get go, and a lot of places I applied to was more like a gamble than anything! It was more like a "Why not?" as I sent in applications. Not to mention trying to gain experience in places where your school conflicts with their schedule and what not.

My uniform isn't as cute as my coffee girl apron tho

 Even though I'd rather be behind a computer or a phone, I have shaken off a lot of the jitters when it comes to talking and approaching people, and it feels good to accomplish some goals too. My supervisor has been pretty cool, and so have the lot of my new coworkers. I am still learning and nothing is perfect, but I try my best. Some days start off better than others, some days have more accomplishments than others.

Since a grocery store chain has been competing with a relatively new one, we have been doing some pretty cool stuff every now and again, like slot machines! The customers seemed to like it!

I have been trying to take on a second job, more so in my career path to keep my creative energies alive.

Breaking up!

Some break ups can be hard to handle. All the time spent with someone... just to have it slowly fade.Wanting things to work out and trying to express your wants and needs... but its not really happening. Ah... feels not so good, does it?

But, what if that break up is for yourself? For you to be happy?
Well... I am going to break up with Sprint.
:p
 I have been with them for about 7 or maybe 8 years.
They just aren't cutting it for me with high prices when my budget is already tight.

I will admit, their customer service has gotten better over the years, but its just not feasible at the moment. I am looking forward to a new phone and have been looking at a few new companies. Its been a couple of years that I wanted to make a switch over, but thought , 'Nah.. maybe another two years.' Then it drags out longer.

I get kinda iffy and stall with things like this. Maybe it will be a Christmas gift to myself or something, lol! I'd prolly have all the details and what phone I want by then. I will most likely stay with Android phones.
Not that much into iPhones, even though they get some cool apps at times.
