• Still no word about a job offer. I. HATE. Waiting. However, the very nice lady who was my boss the last time I was a full-time employee at the Evil Empire (who is lurking and reading, so everyone wave at the monitor and say "Hi Christine!") has given me several pep talks, and reminded me that if I wasn't being considered, I would have been told right away. So, I'm hopeful. Distracted with impatience, but hopeful.



• Apparently the only song I want to listen to right now is The Last of the Famous International Playboys by Morrissey. Thank goodness my office mate doesn't come in on Mondays, because not only am I incapable of listening to anything else, but I must fervently lip-sync to it. Yes, my brain is a strange place to be.



• Shallow Fashion Details!
  
  
  
  • Black glitter ballet flats
  
  
  • Black lace tights
  
  
  • Just-above calf-length black petticoat
  
  
  • Black knee-length skirt w/ lace trim
  
  
  • Black cotton & lace camisole
  
  
  • Black suit jacket that is mid-hip in length, is trimmed in black ruffles around the bottom hem and neckline, and has a two-toned grey Hogwarts crest patch sewn above the right breast pocket. (Yes, I am *that much* of a silly fan girl. Strange place to be, my brain, see above.)
  
  
  • Hair in low pigtails, the usual top hat & makeup
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Thanks to staxxy alerting me, I just found out that HIM is playing at the Premier on Oct 6th. Tickets are $25 via Ticketswest.com. Now I just need to find someone who would be willing to go see a silly and rather over-the-top Gawthic pop-metal band. (stroppy_baggage, alexiarnps, stop rolling your eyes *quite* so hard, 'kay?)

Haaaaate waiting for important e-mail. Gah!

I must fervently lip-sync to it.

I'll be your office mate if you don't mind my dorky chairdancing moves. I promise to wear headphones.

It's a Thursday and therefore do-able. If it does turn out to be an all ages show this doubles as a hefty chunk of your birthday present....you get this and a -perhaps- a sparkly thing. Size of sparkly thing would then be in direct proportion to how many baby b(r)ats in bad makeup there are.

I'll try and find out if it's an all-ages show. The Ticketswest site won't work for me here at the office.

What, may a cultural ignorant inquire, is a "HIM?" I've seen this term on a couple journals, but glossed over it in the past. But on this dull Monday, I simply must know.

add me to this list of the culturally ignorant...but then I'm rubiish when it comes to bands

I answered below. Don't feel at all bad about being ignorant of them, because they're pretty silly. :)

HIM (www.heartagram.com) are a metal band from Finland. They have a shockingly pretty boy in eyeliner for a lead vocalist. They sound like someone took a finely-constructed pop band and taught them GAWTHICK RAWK! guitar chords: poppy, catchy songs with crunchy guitar. Plus, all of their songs are either about how he loves you so much he would DIE for you, how he loves you so much that your indifference to him is KILLING him, or how your love is SO PERFECT that the two of you should leave this tawdry world behind. In other words, perfect for my inner babygoth. I tend to giggle a lot when I listen to them.
