AHHHHH I want a Red Queen shirt!!!!!!!! I really really wanted one so I am angry now!!! Why couldn't they make them available before?! Oh well, I'm sure if I really want one it will make its way to me eventually. You are so lucky you live near a Hot Topic! That is like one of my biggest dreams! The few times I have been in there I have been in heaven! Last time I went in there they were blasting my favourite song and I was surrounded by all the things I could ever want and I'm like, "This is my store!!!!" and then my mum is like ".... I'm leaving now." pretty much as soon as she walked in. Ya I did watch one or two Mamma Mia clips before seeing the movie, that movie was still amazing when I saw it in theatres!

Hehe! My mom is scared to go in Hot Topic! I got a $5 off coupon from Hot Topic for my birthday, so I hope I can get a shirt or something there soon. Although, we are in the middle of a snow storm, so it may be a little while until I can get out there! I am sorry there isn't one near you! I ordered the novelization of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and I just got it!! I can't wait to read it!! The book has an old book look to it and there are drawings throughout the pages that I think are done by Tim, but I am not sure. I got the visual guide for the movie for my birthday and it looks AMAZING!!! ;D There are movie pictures and a ton of stuff written about the movie! I can't wait to read it all!!!

Oh it's so cool that you got his book! I really wanted to buy a copy! Ya the drawings are probably done by Tim, do they look his style? Ooooo what's the visual guide? It sounds brilliant! I'm really mad because somewhere along the line the postal services lost my Hot Topic order. They better friggen find it because I already payed for it!

Still cool! I still want to read it! Thank you so much for the links!! Maybe I can get them at Chapters here? It's like the same as Borders but in Canada. Oh and my order did arrive!!! My dad tracked it down through the mail system, he called some people or something and found it! XD I got home on Monday night and there was a package sitting in the kitchen when I walked in!! I was so happy!! I love my stuff so much!

Chapters in an awesome name! Much cooler than Borders!! I am so glad you got your order!!! Do you love everything? Isn't the bag amazing?!! I finished reading the book this morning and it was amazing!!!!! ;D I cannot wait to see it played out on screen!! I LOVE Hatter so much!!!! He is so sweet and adorable!! I love the original book of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but I have to say, they made a fantastic new version!! There was a bit of Disney hinted around the place: evil creatures turning good and helping out, no doubt of a happy ending, bad guys get what they deserve, lessons learned. But overall, there was a strong sense of Tim Burton that outweighed the Disney cheesiness! I am even more excited for March 5th now!!!! This is gonna rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D Oh, by the way, it said on the HotTopic website that the soundtrack comes out on March 2nd. I heard one song on itunes and I loved it, so I think I am gonna preorder the CD! What else am I going to do with my Christmas and Birthday money?!!

I love Chapters! It's one of my favourite stores! YES!!! I absolutely adore everything!!! I have the blanket out on my bed and it is so AWSOME! It is so cool looking and it is the softest blanket I have ever felt! I love the bag too!!!! It is so cool!!!! I can't stop staring at it and I was hugging it all through Anthropology today because we were just watching a movie so I didn't have to take anything out of it. That was the best class today, and it was a double period! Sigourney Weaver starred in it so I was happy!! That book just sounds so awsome! I really really really want a copy! I have like, no money after Hot Topic though! Oh well, If I can get my dad to order something from Chapters and we get over a certain amount fo money we get free shipping, and it is cheaper then buying it at the actual store. Do you mean Disney hints from the animated film or is their a Disney book version? Omg omg omg I'm so excited!!!

I'm glad you love your stuff!! I kept starring at my bag when I first got it too and everyone loves it! What movie did you watch with Sigourney? I love her!! I ordered the novelization and the visual guide together and got free shipping. I love that they have offers like that! The problem right now is that I do have a lot of money and all I want to do is spending it on everything I see! I don't know how I will be able to restrain myself from buying all the Alice stuff in Hot Topic when I go there next!! Well, with the book there was just a bit of Disney cheesiness to it that didn't seem exactly Tim Burton. Like, Alice helps this monster, so he becomes good and wants to help her. There was also the fact that throughout the whole thing you knew it was gonna be a happy ending. I know that it needed a happy ending, but it seemed almost a bit too Disney happy in the end. And then Alice learned her lesson, went back, faced her problems, and they all lived happily ever after. Don't get me wrong, it is a great book! I really did enjoy reading it, there was just a few things that bothered me. Overall, I LOVED it!!! Tim Burton is a genious and I now have even more confidence that this is gonna be an amazing movie!!!! ;D

Yes I worship my new Alice stuff!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I can't wait to see the movie!!! I was on the site this morning just listening to the music, it's great! From talking about it so much in art class I have made my art teacher really excited about the movie too! I think if HotTopic was near me I would be broke! I don't even live near one and it is still emptying my pocket! It is so tempting to make another order and I go on everyday trying to buy stuff, and then the other half of my brain is just like no. No. Bad Lisa! After shipping and customs and taxes and conversion to Canadian dollars I would have no money left, and I can not spend my money because I need spending money for spring hols. The book still sounds really good, I want to read it so badly!!! I need a job! Stupid small town and not having any available jobs! Just going on the site again has made me even more excited! I can't wait!!!!

Oh I almost forgot, the movie with Sigourney was Gorilla's in The Mist. I think that is what it was called. We were watching it because it is a true story about an anthropologist and it helped to understand gorilla behaviour.

Ugh! Darn snow! I can't get to HotTopic when I want to go so badly!! I am stir crazy with money and no where to spend it! I have been thinking about getting a job too, but I don't have time right now to get one. I do hate that with all the unemployment adults are being placed in the jobs that teens would normally occupy. A lot of my friends have been trying to get jobs, but they can't find anything. I do hope that when I do start looking, being 18 will help me find a job. I hope you can find some money to get the book because it is totally worth it! Oh, and I love the Alice site! It is awesome and makes me even more excited too!! I think I have heard of that Sigourney movie, but I have never seen it. Did you like it?

My mom is taking my grandma to a doctors appointment tomorrow and they are going right near the mall, so I convinced her to drop me off. I can go to HotTopic!!! I am so happy to be getting out of my house, I haven't left home since Tuesday with all the snow. I really hope they have Red Queen shirts and new stuff at HotTopic! I'll let you know what I get!

You are so lucky! I can't believe they got all of this stuff in right after I made my order! Darn it I'm making another one. I don't know what size I am though. The last two times I ordered online I always got mediums, but two of them were a pretty good fit while one was huge! I want Red Queen Shirts! I would worship them! I can't wait to hear what you get! I was looking at the Alice books again, I need 3 more dollars to get free shipping but I don't want to spend the money for another book to get it. My mom went out yesterday, after I asked her if there was anything she wanted from Chapters, and bought two books! I'm like mum!!!!! You could have ordered those online with me and got it for cheaper! She's like I know but I was there! I really wanted to go to the bookstore all week but the only time they could make was last night but I was at the show!

Oh ya!!! I totally forgot about this! I saw the Hatter one a while ago and thought it would be so cool to have an Alice doll!! They will probably make a Red Queen one right? That is the one I really want!!! She is the best!!!! I haven't seen the movie yet (obviously) and I already adore her!! I was finally able to get a Red Queen Shirt!!!!!! I went to a shop in the city near me and asked if they had any Alice shirts, they only had one.... I forget what it was called but it wasn't from Tim's version. It was like an evil Alice and she was wearing a black and red lolita dress and she had a bloddy dagger. It was so epic but I resisted the temptation to buy it because it was $25. I need to save money! It was amazing though! I went back to the shop last weekend and they finally had Alice shirts!!!! I was so excited!!!!
