He left me 😥

When going out, I often attached my #PuppyM #tamagotchi to my bag. Having him always at hand helped remind me to feed and entertain my hatched #FoxINy

I went out this afternoon to buy bread and eat food.

At some point in my travels around the city, PuppyM made a break for it.

I retraced my steps and even asked people working at some of the places whether they'd seen him. It was a long shot but I tried anyway.

Nothing in life is permanent, and material possessions are just as temporary as anything else.

New #Gorman dress (1 of 6 gifted to me by colleague), new haircut (by Bella at #CherryBombHair), new crossbody bag (from #BeekeeperParade), relatively new #PuppyM #tamagotchi attached to bag, mirror selfie taken with phone to which i've just attached a new phoneloop, with a newly inserted photocard of #Seungmin squishing up his nose during an ending fairy.

Also I had lunch with @verism and it's been forever since I last saw them, and I've missed them.

It's been a good day so far. I am content.

He's a bit tricky to photograph but here's #FoxINy on my #PuppyM #tamagotchi

I am not very good at entertaining him. I figured out how to play the danceracha game, so I mostly pick that one. The vocalracha game is still confusing - I haven't figured out the controls yet. The 3racha slot machine game seems to be completely random chance, but maybe there's a trick to it that I haven't figured out yet??

Um. Whoops.

I bravely did not buy *every* new #skz thing that arrived at #IHeartKpop yesterday.

But I have definitely overspent on #skzMerch this month.

(Not all of it was from I Heart Kpop. Maybe about two thirds??)

Recent acquisitions:

* A #skzLightStick pin to go on my handmade replica of one of #Felix's Louis Vuitton beanies (in place of the LV badge that's on the genuine version)

* #PuppyM beanie (I think this was part of the range sold at the Japanese concerts last year??)

* PuppyM Tamagotchi, that came with a set of 8 photocards

* Red version of HOP album (I already had the blue version)

* Giant version A (with Blu-ray)

* The Sound version A (with Blu-ray)

* Maniac Seoul concert Blu-ray

* Bonus photo cards with purchases from I Heart Kpop (today the person noticed that #Seungmin is my bias, so they picked out 4 Seungmin cards for me 💕)

* A second album for my photocards, because the first one is overflowing

* A pack of photocard sleeves

* A fucking multi-region combo Blu-ray and DVD player (because I legit expected that I wouldn't ever again watch videos stored on physical media when I could just stream things, oh god why can't I just *stream things*)

I was deeply tempted to buy some of the member-designed Japanese merch, including #I_N's green knit balaclava and Seungmin's I LOVE MY SHOES packing cube. Please praise my restraint.

I don't know if I want to open all these items at once, or spread them out over time, but I think it will probably be more enjoyable to spread them out.

(It was a mistake to open all those Nacific photocards at once. I wish I'd only opened one pack a day instead.)

#skzHOP #skzManiac #skzTheSound #skzPhotocards #skzGiant

#PuppyM #tamagotchi is here

It has an egg. I am supposed to pat and clean the egg. After 3 hours a random #skzoo will hatch, I think.

#3GoodThings

💖 #IHeartKpop's Melbourne store is open and I love it. They have a shipment of Japanese #skz albums expected in on Tuesday, so I'll go back again on Wednesday.

🧙‍♂️ @mary, kiddo and I had lunch at Fortress today and kiddo taught us how to play #HuesAndCues

💅 Finally got a photo of the #manicure, featuring duckies on one hand, and #PuppyM + kira-kira sparkles on the other. (Photo's a bit low-res but it's better than no photo.)

#skzKiraKira #FortressMelbourne #MittyNails

Speaking of butts:

#Changbin demonstrates a typical #Hyunjin pose

#Felix and #Seungmin pay close attention

Check out that level of focus

(Also Felix is wearing #Bbokari slippers, and Seungmin is wearing #PuppyM slippers, and both of them are wearing white knee-socks)

Oh boy I sure did spend $125 of my Australian dollarydoos on a #PuppyM tamagotchi (thanks terrible exchange rates)

Attempting to figure out how much it will cost me if I actually attempt to buy a #PuppyM tamagotchi and get it shipped to Australia...

#skz5Clock things I want to remember ...

- Seo #Changbin #FlaggingBlackRight (heavy SM bottom) hell yes more fodder for the Solo-Swap-Is-Really-a-Top/Bottom-Swap theory (as posited on @ChickenRPF) - #skzHankyCode #skzSoloSwaps

- #LeeKnow, #BangChan and #Seungmin carrying their #skzoo s in baby carriers on their backs during the final act

- #PuppyM trying to pick a fight with Changbin as his last action before leaving the stage (he wants some of that #minhandling, apparently)

- Ahhhh Changbin's #AsWeAre was so damn good, I need to find the lyrics for his rap, but also his singing was heavenly

- Lots of #skzRedMoon imagery for #skzRed team, maybe to make up for how they dropped the ball on the solo MVs?? (because #skzBlue team all featured the blue moon (or blue cake) in their solo MVs). I know for sure there were red moons in Cover Me and Voices, and I *think* maybe in #IAmYou as well? There should have been at least one more red-moon song (one for each member of the red team). I suspect that there *was* one more and I missed it.

- No #HoldMyHand because #Felix wasn't there

- Felix's surprise voice message towards the end 🥲

#skzLore #skzCoverMe #skzVoices

#PuppyM and #foxiny also got naked but the rest of the #skzoo s somehow kept their clothes on.

Of course, none of the skzoos normally wear pants. So it's not like them getting naked is significantly naughtier than their usual attire.

The important thing is that skz *intended* the skzoos' lack of clothing to be naughty.

#5ThingsMeme from @shipperslist

Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your purse/backpack at any given moment.

💊 4 different types of essential medications (but uhoh I gotta remember to check expiry date on the asthma inhaler every now and then, don't ask)

🥛 Lactase pills because life is happier with dairy products but my gut disagrees

🛍️ 2 or 3 shopping bags of the type that fold up really small

🔑 A fannish keychain attached to the outside (right now #PuppyM is on my shoulder bag and #WolfChan is on my backpack)

💄 Lip balm

I NEED THIS #PUPPYM

My special little #skzoo guys have a new, gay ride to go to any #skz events.

It's almost perfect except that the front pocket is only big enough for a single full-sized skzoo, whoops. #PuppyM is the ultimate passenger princess so he gets priority, and #WolfChan will be happy to watch from the back, as usual. #skzPassengerPrincesses

(Eventually I hope to get some mini skzoos who will fit more conveniently in the #GaySkzooRide)

Uh.

I'm not normally a person who likes to acquire merch.

And yet.

I seem to have brought a lot of things back from our #skzDominateSydney adventure.

The black silky things were part of the VIP package, as were the socks, the A5 photos and the 7-sided thingy on the lanyard.

(Who decided that the thingy should have *7* sides?!)

I bought 3 albums at #IHeartKpop and I love them all. They each came with lots of inserts.

The 4 x A3 prints are from fan artists who had a stall outside I Heart Kpop. There are some cup sleeve packs from another stall. I don't even *like* cup sleeves normally. This is insane.

Then there are the stickers, cards & various gifts we were given by other stay.

I think my favorite is the tiny red rose that #PuppyM is wearing on his ear. The stay who gave me that said they'd brought the tiny roses specifically for #skzoo s to wear so they could look pretty too.

Oh and there's a green streamer from Sydney, and a piece of confetti from Melbourne.

Help.

#skzMerch

I want to get a transparent bag or backpack before next Saturday, so I can take #PuppyM & #WolfChan with me to #skzDominateSydney

Taking the babies to Channie's bagel place cos they didn't get to go to the concert last night

The perils of online ordering.

I thought I was ordering the IKEA puppy that is the same size as the IKEA wolf.

I thought wrong.

I *could* exchange it.

But it's funnier this way.

#skz #skzoo #puppym #WolfChan #Daengmo

My pre-ordered #skzoo babies are here. They are so soft and cute and I am delighted with them.

They came with 2 photocards each. I now have a #BangChan photocard featuring Channie's left bracelet. Which, uh. I might be a bit fixated on. It is #skzSignificantJewellery okay.

#skz #WolfChan #PuppyM

In about ten days, I have a consult with a tattoo artist to discuss a #skz tattoo.

I don't have a clear idea of what I'm going to get yet, or exactly where. But had been thinking of #skzoo characters in the artist's pretty & colourful style. Probably just #PuppyM (#Seungmin) & #WolfChan (#BangChan) to start with, but done in a way that the others could be added to the design over time.

My problem right now is: #I_N

He keeps wanting my attention.

How dare he.

I suspect #FoxINy (I.N) is going to find a spot in the initial design too.
