(Yesterday) Miranda's super excellent party~!

Yesterday, I went to my friend, Miranda's, 16th Birthday Party! It was super fun~! I got to meet several of her friends from school (I was the oldest guest there, lol). We (they) played a few rounds of pool (I only participated in one round) and after one game I decided to take up the challenge to find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. It took me exactly 809 licks; my teeth were completely coated with sugar after I was done. Oh, and Miranda's sister, Savannah, made the cake!! It was soooooo yummy~! There were three different layers of cake to it xP ; Marble cake, Lemon cake, and chocolate cake~~!!
Miranda's Birthday Cake:
Right in front of the blue half of cake is a Lemon cake shaped like a squirrel, in front of the yellow half of the cake is a Lemon cake shaped like a horse. If you look closely, you can notice that they have headbands/scarfs tied around there heads which (at least I think) makes them look like ninja's! X3

During the time I was over there(the sleepover), I read ALOT of Miranda's manga volumes (she has over 100 manga's!!).


The following is a list and description of the manga's I read while at her party:
1. The Wall Flower
Wallflower is about a girl who was called "ugly" by a boy, the first and only person to whom she confessed her love which causes her to shy away from all things that are "pretty" and "bright" and become dark and a horror lover. So then Sunako's aunt, the owner of a beautiful mansion finds these four handsome students whom need a place to live and offers the guys free rent in her mansion if they can turn Sunako into a "perfect lady" in three years time. (I read volumes 2-8 so far..)


2. High School Debut
High School Debut is about a girl named Haruna Nagashima who was a softball star in middle school, and  now that she is in high school, she has decided to work hard for a new goal: finding love/falling in love. But, since she spent all her time in middle school focused on softball, she has no idea how to find love. But then,(very clich'e, lol) this popular boy named Yoh Komiyama offers to help her out and becomes her coach in order to help her find love (and dress better). But there is one condition: she mustn't fall in love with him. (I read volumes 3-4 so far..)


3. Dengeki Daisy
This is the story of a girl named Teru who was left with a cell phone containing the text-address of an elusive character named DAISY when her brother died. Teru's brother had told her that "DAISY" would "support her when he was no longer able to." DAISY became Teru's pillar of strength, over the next few years as he sent her encouraging words through his phone, whether inspiring or mere chatter, as she faces her life alone.
One afternoon, bullies from the student council start to harrass one of Teru's friends and, in scarying them away, Teru accidentally breaks a school window, which results in her working for the grouchy, cruel school janitor named Tasuku Kurosaki in order to pay for the window. As she begins to work with Kurosaki she also begins to question DAISY's true identity. Could Kurosaki be DAISY? (I read volume 3 so far..)


Before I went home (noon) Miranda let me borrow several other manga's including: Mamotte Shugogetten, Ghost Hunt, Rasetsu, Wolf's Rain, Fallen Vampire, and Fairy Tail. I now have a total of 12 of her manga's in my room.



Also, last night, we made our own Ouija board. For those of you who don't know, a Ouija board is a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, the words 'yes' 'no' 'hello' and 'goodbye', and other symbols and words are sometimes also added to help personalize the board. It uses a planchette (small heart-shaped piece of wood) or movable indicator to indicate the spirit's message by spelling it out on the board during a séance. The fingers of the séance participants are placed on the planchette, which then moves about the board to spell out words or become physically manifested. 
And while playing with the Ouija board I remembered some of the guidelines and rules for the board that I had researched last summer; one of the things that I remembered was that if the ouija board's panchette starts to count backwards through the letters or numbers then the spirit or demon can escape from the board (this could also result in possession of a human being using the Ouija board). And after using it for an hour or so (it was around 1 or 2 in the morning), that is what it started to do. So, before it could get to Z I quickly grabbed the planchette (well, we used a cup..but still) and lifted it off the board. It is also said that if you want to get a bad spirit/demon out of the planchette or make it so that it can no longer contact you(make it so that you contact someone/something new) you should hold the planchette above the flame of a candle in order to "burn" the evil energy/spirit out.

After this, Miranda brang out her Tarot Cards and did some readings for us. She also did a seven card spread/chakra reading for her friend, Stazi, which I think tired alot of us out. Also, that night, I learned from Miranda that your [Tarot] cards choose you. So, apparently if you are not the one to pick them out then  they are technically not yours (so I guess my tarot and faery oracle cards actually belong to my dad and sister, erica) but, that does not mean that you cannot still use them. It just means you won't be able to read them as well as the actual owner.




So, in the end, we ended up going to bed at 5:30 in the morning and waking up at 10:30 (5 hours later) to have doughnuts for breakfast :) ~SUGAR RUUUUUUUSH~!
Omigosh, it's Izaya eat'n a doughnut~!! Kawaii~!

Well, so, yep! That's it for now. Thanks so much for reading my blog. Please be sure to comment and check out my youtube channel (you can find it on my profile as "my website").  Have an excellent day~!
