Name every un-loli aspect of yours.
Well....I hate wearing skirts/dresses. That's a big one. I'm not a lifestyle lolita--I don't think how you dress should influence your behavior in an extreme way, so I don't really think there's much to me that's un-loli.

Name all your lolita aspects.
Ummm....I wear it?

What does lolita mean to you? Is it just a fashion? Is it a lifestyle? A passing phase? Something else completely? Why do you care about the fashion? Please explain yourself as well as possible. Don't be afraid of getting mushy. hell, I encourage you to get mushy.
It's just a fashion to me. A kick-ass fashion that means a lot to me--but just a fashion. I care about it because it's a means of self-expression. It's as much a part of myself as someone else's favorite pair of jeans. They mean a lot, but you can't always put your finger on the reason why, and you're really upset when the dog eats them.

I'm going through my dA account because I want to put some photos up for sale so I can get some cash because I feel sooo poor right now (which makes no sense because I just got paid...). I found this.

A Sticky Flavor of Ice Cream

Open up the freezer in my kitchen;
Pull out the ice cream box;
Scoop out my sickly sticky situation;
Singing only this sad song.

Friday night and everyone is out but me,
Screaming at my cats all night long.
Save for that, my house is still.
Quiet save simply for the rain.

Because it pounds and it pounds
And strikes and slams
Away at my little old house.
And though I am afraid, no one is near.

My inbox dings and I have mail.
Click it open and read.
Never quite as alone as I once had felt.
Now more alone than what was meant.

Sticky situations are often mirrored by food.
I dip my spoon into my situational food.
French vanilla always seemed to be
The stickiest flavor of them all to me.
