I started to work today again. For six weeks only, but better than nothing. Plus, the semester starts the beginning of October again anyways. Everybody at work is on vacation. August = Vacation month here. I’m in the big office all by myself, no men to tease me and call me Kitty (because I like Hello Kitty), no men who look at me weird for having a “kawaii” desktop and bright pink windows. Gotta love men who think pink is a terrible terrible thing.
Ok, enough from work.. on to the fun stuff.
Why do adults get so adulty when they’re adults?
I just went shopping a few days ago and bought this:
for my bathroom. The Splish Splash Splosh hand foam with Berry Cherry Fragrance smells soooo good. And it looks sooo cute on my little sink. And the butterfly wind thingy looks cute hanging on my Hello Kitty shower curtain. And the colors are just great.
So I wonder, why do some people, when they get older, abandon things like that?
In a year or so the Lover and I are going to move together. Of course I then want a living room with “adulty” furniture, classy and elegant looking and a nice bedroom, the bed with white sheets, beige and brown pillows, a nice dark-brown or white bureau, the color rosè as a contrast… The bathroom though will be filled with Hello Kitty, bright colors and cute stuff.
I’m a big kid, I know that, but I really hope I’ll be a big kid my whole life.

There are times when I appreciate cutesy kiddy stuff for certain things. I like my home decor to be grown-up and stuff, but I do have princess ballpens and cartoon lunchboxes 😀
I didn’t abandon them, just refrained from advertising my like for such things. There’s a limit to how many times you can hear your dad complain that pink reminds him of underwear (“fresh knickers” in his words).
Then again, one can always hope: I mean it only took me 5 years to convince my dad that anime is not necessarily for kids.
I love that you still buy “kiddie” things for your house! I think it’s fantastic. I totally agree with you – why abandon things you like just because you are supposed to be too old for them!
“Why do adults get so adulty when they’re adults?”
I must be one of those big kids forever at heart cuz I rarely feel like an adult. I refuse to become boring and do typical stuff like average adults do plus I don’t EVEN feel like an adult most days. I don’t want to have a boring life so I do silly things whenever I can to recapture my youth =)
I still buy cute stuff. I just got a Chococat lunch box for when I’m at work. I have little charms and cute stickers on my cell phone. I even have cute stickers on my laptop. I like having these little cute touches, they make me feel special and happy. You can look sharp in a business suit and have a cute little cell phone. 🙂
