eBay is great.
It reaches more people, and is easy to use.
It does take a bit of your money though.
Let me know when you do open your shop, I will buy something :)

Mental Illness Rant
Started almost 2 years ago · Last post almost 2 years ago ·
I have Depression, and I've had it as long as I can remember, and last time I went to the doctor, He said I may have social anxiety as well.
Any way, I have these friends, two sisters, and they are driving me nuts! Whenever someone mentions mental illness, they're always like 'I have that, but more severe. Its not even that bad.'They're obviously faking it. One of them, wants to have problems. She's always bragging about how many times she has to go to the doctor. She even said she gets her sister to cut her, because she wants to be 'emo' but cant bear to hurt herself. And she complained that her 'cuts' healed too fast. Once she told me I didnt fit in with our group, because I didnt hurt myself. At that point in time, I was pretty much hurting myself every night.( I've since stopped doing it frequently). One of our friends, has really bad anxiety, and was going to the therapist most days, so the therapist told her to have the rest of the term off (about 7 weeks). And now the other friend, keeps having a go at her, calling her a wimp and all this other horrible stuff. And, all this stuff triggers me/ makes it worse.
And, (almost done I promise) my mum is driving me nuts, because I was meant to go back to the doctors like 2 or more months ago.. but she hasnt even been bothered to try and make an appointment. Normally you have to wait at least 2 weeks for an appointment after you book it. And, my medication isnt working, so I really want to go see the doctor, and hopefully he'll be able to fix it up. At the last appointment (10 or so weeks ago) I got a referral to see a councillor/ therapist (not exactly sure what she is) about my social anxiety. I dont want to go, but I know I should. And its bothering me, because Mum should know thats what would be best for me, and make an appointment. Grr. But whenever my brother needs something done, she'll do it. Ugh, I wont even go into the favouritism thing :/
Phew. That feels better.

< Unnatural hair colours look more natural on me, than natural ones. Did that make sense? What I mean was, when my hair was pink, it looked more natural than it now that its brown.

Fringe / Bangs question
Started about 2 years ago · Last post about 2 years ago ·
At the moment, I have a straight fringe, that goes just below my eyes. Im trying to grow it out, to go into a side fringe, but Im stuck at the awkward stage in the middle. Its too long to be a straight fringe, and too short to cut it how I was thinking of doing it. So, Im just wondering, is anyone has any ideas of how I could cut it.
Thank you :)

selling jewellery: SHOP HELP!!!
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
I love the balloon necklaces :)
Your shop is a bit... dull? Like everyone above has said, play with lighting, and the background, maybe add a thin border? you could also adjust the colour in photoshop, to brighten the image, but not enough so that the colours are misleading.
Add some more items when you get time, and advertise. People wont know about it, unless you tell them.
Goodluck! :)

Im making a huge, paper mache tapir/ squid/ axolotl/ fairy thing for school, and two paintings to get started this weekend.
I have a couple of big ideas I want to start... but Im not sure my mum will be too keen :)

What made you choose your username?
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
Well, my brother was playing some game (pokemon I think) and there was a character called Melvin. I dunno why, but I found it really funny. So I adopted it as my own name, because I hate my real name.

Never Worn Makeup
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
http://www.everydayminerals.com/
Thats an awesome site for good foundation, brushes and blush, which is all I've tried. My mum uses the eye shadow too, and it seems pretty good. Its really cheap, about $12 for the foundation which comes in pretty much every shade, even mine. Its heaps better than maybelline or any of those brands which charge $50+ for the same thing, but of lesser quality

To Be Vegetarian or Not?
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
Think about what they put on vegetables now. Its not just meat with a degrading quality. Like, apples for example, about 10 years ago, I couldnt eat an apple without it goin brown, but I left one sitting on the bench for half an hour, and it was only just starting to go brown...
I am a vegetarian, because I think what the animals go through before being eaten is horrible, and the idea of eating something that was just mooing disgusted me...

Dude! Just Don't TOUCH!
Started over 2 years ago · Last post almost 2 years ago ·
I know what you're feeling.
Mum just spilt a bottle of water into all my scrapbookin stuff. years worth of hoarding ruined. Not to mention the hours I spent on writing out notes for the scrapbooks Im making for christmas, wasted. This wouldnt bother me so much if she didnt do it all the time.
Or dad, who, if something is in his way, he just kicks it away. You have no idea how many drawings hes ruined, sewing projects he's tangled up, things I've painted that he's bumped and now cant be fixed.
And theres my brother, who just doesnt care. He'll often borrow something, put it in his room, and Ill never see it again.
I hate people touching my stuff. Any of my stuff.

household chores u actually love to do
Started over 4 years ago · Last post 7 months ago ·
I like scrubbing/ washing... walls, benches, floors anything really...
The dirtier the better... once I cleaned the bench thing in the art room at school where the clay stuff is kept, Probably an inch thick of clay covering it, and when I was done, it was clean.
I dont really mind doing any chores, except for the dishes/ cooking.
I've made deals with 2 friends, that if I ever lived with them, I'd clean and they would cook.

Memory that makes your smile?
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
I have a few..
Theres a lot of my dog (she had to be put down 6 months ago), but the best one I can remember, was one day, I was cuddling her, treating her like she was a baby, not a dog, and dad says to me 'You're gonna make a great mum one day' I dont know why, but it makes me so happy.
I have a friend, who lives a long way away (other side of the world) and I remember the first time we 'hugged'. I actually dont remember why it was... but it brought tears to me eyes.. and it has again. Gosh.. Im such a girl sometimes..

Dear my Generation:
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
Recently a 15 year old girl at my school left, because she had a baby.
I went to my cousins house on Thursday. It almost made me cry. Their mum is a crack whore. She's addicted to god only knows what, and she's an alcoholic. My uncle used to be, but hes stopped drinking and is slowly changing his life around. No help from his wife though. The kids have no disapline what so ever. They get screeched at, then sworn at, and when we arent there.. probably hit. I know smacking kids works, my mum did it to me when I was little. But it should only be done by people in their right mind. I hate parents who swear at their kids, especially young children. My two cousins are always swearing, they're 8 and 10. I still wont swear in front of my parents. I feel so sorry for these kids. Every time I see them, I just want to take them away from that place, and look after them properly. At the rate they're going, they will be those kids, who will be pregnant or getting girl friends pregnant at 14. They will be pot heads. They will be alcoholics. And I want to change that.

Dear my Generation:
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
Pffft teenagers.
Im 15 and ashamed of it. I visited my cousins yesterday, aged 9 and 12. The 9 year old had an iTouch. I mean, WTF, shes 9! And the 12 year old was attached to her phone. She had a better phone than me.
Im class, the other girls discuss who they had sex with this weekend, how drunk they got and what they've stolen. It wouldnt be as bad, if it was with the same guy two weeks in a row.
Im considered a 'nerd' because I dont drink, smoke, steal, do drugs or screw strangers.
I also blame pop music. All it is, is drugs, sex and alcohol. And music about anything else is 'gay'.. Oh yeah, dont get me started on homophobes.
The world is getting harder and harder to live in. We're getting stupider. Theres no reason to have our own ideas anymore, because the media tell us what we want. Having individual ideas, is frowned upon here. I wore a Marilyn Manson shirt the other day, whilst walking with my mum, dad and little brother, and the security guard laughed at my mum.
The main problem with teenagers though?
They're getting worse.

Does anyone have acne tips?
Started over 2 years ago · Last post about 2 years ago ·
witchhazel worked pretty well on me, I just forgot to do it..
I dont really have any advice, but I've found that crying and junk food make it worse..
Mineral foundation is pretty good, because it doesnt make it any worse.. a website called everyday minerals possibly has the best mineral make up I've ever used. better than maybelline or one of those expensive brands. Who would of thought $12 foundation would be better than a $40 one...

Australian craft supplies are so expensive.
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
I've been reading a ton of tutu tutorials.. all of them saying tulle is a couple of dollars a yard(?).. but here, its $8 a metre. I'd need at least 7 metres.. which would equal $56 for half a costume Im probably only going to wear once. The other option, was $3.50 per metre, and was netting.. which would still cost me $24.50, and I really dont have that much to spend on it.
Also, all of our other craft supplies are really expensive. felt is 99c for an A4 sheet.. I know that isnt too bad, but it adds up really quickly. I dont look at beads, buttons, chains, studs or anything like that, because I know I cant afford them. Even jump rings, are about $4 for a pack of about 100, which I can use in a week.
Okay, I feel better now I got that out.. :)

Bra Sizing Is Never Right
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
Im the same Lolly.bot
I can rarely find my size, and when I do, a D is a little too big, but a C is waaay to small. But, It varies from different bras, because one D will be huge.. and another I'll spill out of.. My friend is 10D (32D?) and they dont sell them here.. pretty much anything D or above is impossible to find in Australia. Im only 15.. so Im still growing.. which means they're gonna get bigger :(

Im not exactly sure, but Im going to make a black tutu, and use a lot of fake blood. This will be the first time I've dressed up ever... Me and my friends have decided to have a party this year, because we want to dress up.
Im also making my brother a costume. Hes gonna be the guy, which is the disturbed logo thing.. I wanted to dress him up as the shredder.. but he didnt like that idea

What does your name mean?
Started over 3 years ago · Last post over 3 years ago ·
Gina- apparently garden.. and its origin is italian. But my friends give it another meaning... I'll let you figure that one out ;)
Alice- truth, noble.. which is greek.. I've pretty much disowned my middle name, so it probably doesnt count
Rowe- one who lived at the hedgerow or in a row of houses built next to one another... great
So Im a noble garden (or part of a female) living at the hedgerow..
