More proof of my childishness
There's this really cute blog called "Sailor Moon Life", where someone had the idea to find things you could buy, make, or wear that are similar to things in the Sailor Moon series. I thought it was actually a pretty neat idea (I think I've mentioned it before, but I'm kind of a sucker for when a show puts out merch that looks like items from the actual show/series/whatever...so the "look a-likes" idea instantly got my attention XD) so I started to follow it. And low & behold, the owner of the blog found a chicken-shaped alarm clock.
Why was that so significant? Well, in the series, Usagi has one. (And it's pretty damn cute.) When I was a kid, I always thought it was super cute, and even though I love bunnies WAY more than chickens....I totally wanted one.
So when that post popped up on the blog, I kinda freaked out over how awesome that was. Then promptly dug into my A-kon money and ordered it. ^^;
I was a little nervous when I did, because the company I got it from was in China (and we all know that can be a bit of a gamble). But it actually arrived to me safe & sound, and it's now sitting happily on my shelf next to my bed:
I tried the alarm, and at first I was disappointed to hear that the alarm was some sort of exclamation/greeting in Chinese (I assume?). But then I noticed if you don't hit the alarm right away, it does start chirping like a bird! XD Not a cute little "peep peep" sound like Usagi's alarm clock, but hey...close enough, I guess? lol. (Not that I'd probably use the alarm feature much. I prefer the gentle "raindrops" alarm on my cell phone's alarm to wake me up. It's not too harsh or loud, so it doesn't startle me awake.)
So...yeah. Now I have a chicken alarm clock. Because of Sailor Moon.
I AM SO ADULT.
