Remember how you thought that you could safely wear red clothing until Thanksgiving? You were wrong. Next year, stop wearing anything red and vaguely Victorian-looking immediately after Halloween.




(Why yes, someone asked me if I was caroling in the area today. For the record, I am wearing a black high-collared, ruffly blouse under a black princess-seamed, a jacket with a bat-wing hem, and an ankle-length full skirt that has alternating bands of black velvet and red satin. I'm not even wearing a top hat today. But no, apparently this outfit says "Christmas caroler!" to an average member of the public.)

That's just wrong. I wonder if more obvious skulls & bats would help.

[sophiap.livejournal.com]

Maybe the best bet would be to say, "Why yes, I am!" and then start serenading them with something from here (http://www.cthulhulives.org/Solstice/)

Oh, dear

I didn't know about that CD.

Now I must own that CD.

DANGIT!

Re: Oh, dear

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Wait, how did you not know about that CD? I could have *sworn* you told me about it ...

Re: Oh, dear

[tolkiencub.livejournal.com]

Nope. Never heard of it before.

Never even been to that website before, either.

Maybe *you* should have a cyber fit every November/December.

::blinks::

I still can't picture myself in cyber stuff. It just doesn't work in my head.

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

well... I do have that cthulu cd now... ;)

But seriously, some people just have to put things in pigeon holes.

wear more pink in November/December.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

The 'wear more pink' was already part of my plan ...

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

soo... do you like Kahlua truffles? I could bring you one tomorrow. maybe two... we will see how far I get. ;)

one of my lj friends sent me a box of them from Euphoria.. they are SOO good. OH MY GOD....

and you did get the message that tomorrow is a go, yes?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Kahlua truffles? Oh dearie, dearie me. Yes, I love htem. I probably shouldn't have any, tho'.

Yes, I did indeed get the message that tomorrow is go. I ... I forgot to reply, didn't I? I'm sorry.

new reply to an older message -

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

and now that LJ is catching up, I get this. Heh.

But that does remind me... on getting together - I should be a-ok to hang out this Thursday if you are.

[stroppy-baggage.livejournal.com]

I like Kahlua Truffles!!!!!!

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

you wont even be home when we are there. :P

[cindywrites.livejournal.com]

Before I net-knew you, I might have been one of those people (although I think I wouldn't ask until after Thanksgiving). I would have only asked because I thought you looked beautiful, though.

*hangs head in shame*

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

But I bet when I responded with "Oh no, I dress this way all the time!", you wouldn't eye me suspiciously and say "No, really?" Because you are a good and wonderful person.

[cindywrites.livejournal.com]

If that had happened, I think I would have squealed with delight. I LOVE pretty. If I'd started early enough and was more of an originalist, today people would assume when they saw me, that I was on my way to a costume ball, dressed as Scarlett O'Hara.

I'm tempted to say that if I were to see any carolers in Victorian garb, I'd ask them if they are Goths, but I don't think that either my Gothic Charm School Mistress or Jesus would approve of that one. I'd be committing the same faux pas, but intentionally, which is worse.

Here we go a'caroling
I stick you with a pin
You writhe around upon the ground
as I stick the boot right in

Good stabbings to you
and your little doggie too
And God help you
and send you a pyramid of tears
And god send you a pyramid of tears

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[seankozma.livejournal.com]

Le sigh. Yeah, batwing hems always say "Christmas" to me, too.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Well, bats ARE considered Christmas-y in our household.

... okay, okay, bats are considered appropriate year-round in our household.

[audiblecell.livejournal.com]

maybe you should start wearing fangs through till christmas and just smile real big when they talk to you...

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Heh. Heh, heh, heh. I did finally treat myself to custom fang caps ...

[ladyraven13.livejournal.com]

Love the hat!

[muskrat-john.livejournal.com]

Would you mind if I did a cartoon about this?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

::grins::

Go right ahead. Just let me know when it goes up. I keep meaning to put a link to your site in the links section of mine ...

[fufaraw]

I was away, offline, and out of touch, and never got to wish you felicitations on the anniversary of your natal day, so now I'll wish you a wonderful year full of discovery, laughter, love, and bats. And crinolines, lace, and sterling silver treasures.

[kijjohnson.livejournal.com]

I love to speculate about what exactly the rest of your carolling group looks like.
