I was going to post this on Tuesday, since it's a product of being bored during a meeting, but, here it is....

( playing with words )

Anyone else? Thoughts? :D

Satisfied:
-the people I love (boyfriend, family, friends)
-where I live

Not satisfied:
-my job
-my education
-how I'm spending my time

What to do about it? Well, I'm still working that out.

Today, I learned that men can lactate.

I was trying to grab the audio from the Do You Wanna Date My Avatar music video to put it on my mp3 player...

This is what happened, somehow.



It's terrifying. But also awfully catchy.

First off, if you are a supporter of LRT in Waterloo Region, check this out: http://tritag.ca/email -- you can email politicians and tell them you support LRT and would like them to support it, too!

Second: O.M.G. I'm in love with the aesthetics of steampunk, as well as goth. Delicious. Soooooo delicious. I really must learn to sew.

Links!
Clockwork Couture - deliciously steampunk and omg, this is beautiful. and a corset with a window to your spine! and a coat dress!
Gentleman's Emporium - Victorianesque fashions! 1900's swimsuits!
Retroscope Fashions (Ladies tops) - THE RUFFLES! *dies*
Kambriel - she sells /capes/. (And many other lovely things!)
Gloomth - everything about this site is a mystical, gothic, circus ride. Love. Edit: And they're Canadian!

Missed my LJversary again. Last week.

Soooo.... happy 7th LJversary + 1week, winged_spirit!

Geocities is now dead.

(I think maybe they were waiting for the whole world to be out of October 26th? Because it wasn't dead yesterday.)

I managed to preorder a Serenity model! Sometime in the next 6 months (I'm being very generous with time, here), I will have my very own Firefly!

In the spirit and hopes of keeping our loft clean for the remainder of the time we may have it (which is, as of now, completely up in the air), we would like to extend this invitation to any and all peeps to feel free to invite yourselves over at any time! Drop by or organize a time, whatever, but we would like a sense that we'll never know when people may show up to create an urgency of cleanliness. Plus, we want to hang out with you, but are pretty terrible at making plans.

Love and kisses,
Rachel and Sylvan

I'm the most colourful goth you ever did see.


Goth isn't a competition.

quips:

I had a cup full of water on my desk, and when I came in yesterday morning, someone had put my empty Nestea can INSIDE IT!!! What!?


There was a guy in the kitchen yesterday morning with very pointy and sticky-up shoes. Like, elf shoes. Only they weren't a costume, they were honest-to-goodness man shoes. What!?


Went to Jeff's BIG birthday party show last night. Really just a drop in; we just went to see Jeff on his birthday. He was .. well, you know how it is. He cut all his hair off! It's not long anymore! He tackle hugged Sylvan, then dragged me in, too. I mentioned my tights, and then he was like "can I see?" Then Jeff, Owen, some girls I don't know, and probably Sylvan started chanting at me to take my pants off. So I did. On the landing, right by the door. That's right. I'm awesome. Some guy (Ian?) had the best reaction to my tights. In general, they were well had by all. Jeff made me drink some whisky because "you've always wondered what it would be like to live like Jeff." Unfortunately, we had to bugger off because we tried to make it to Central Fresh before they closed. Missed it by that much. BUT we found out that we can hussle 2.2km in 22 minutes. Oh baby.


Choreographer's Ball December 6th! Dancing with ADULTS! :P I really hope we end up performing the dance we're currently doing in contemporary class. It's lovely.


Work is stretching my memory and attention muscles. Perhaps this is good, though it is massively uncomfortable.

Google Street View has come to Canada! And with it, to KW!

Check it out: This is Sylvan and I. You can't really tell, but since I was there, I can tell that it's us. I was dressed all gothy that day :P (It's at Columbia and Phillip; we were lucky enough to accidentally pull the bell a stop early and decided to walk and thus saw the GSV car and got on the webs!)

:D

I decided, on my way up the stairs this evening, that I want a fancy, pin-striped suit and scary, evil-CEO-lady (of fashion industry or the like) black stiletto heels. How smashing would that be?

Because I'm so bouncy! Because I won tickets to next year's Hillside! So
I don't have to worry about how I'll afford it! This is so exciting!

:D!!!!

Anyone in Toronto and willing for a couple people to crash at your
place? Anyone know anyone this would apply to?

Much appreciated if you offer up. I can make you cookies? :3

I just ate 12 tacos. Phew! My belly is full of fats :p

Had dreams about making out with various boys again. One of them reminded me of Dr. Manhattan. Another was luckily /not/ wearing a nurse costume this time.

&&

In one of those moods again. Blaming the hunger, for now. Will see if it changes after eating.

&&

I miss people. People I know. People I used to know. People I don't even know. I want to be friends with everybody. I understand this to be totally unrealistic, and yet I am sad when people don't feel the same way.

I can back up my van better than that guy.

So here's us. On a raggedy edge. Don't push me. And I won't push you.
