Writer's Block: I'm looking at the ___ in the mirror

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I suspect my true inner self looks like a more idealized cartoon/anime version of me. Yes, I'm completely serious.

What would she tell me? Probably to stop worrying about things I can't fix, and that I shouldn't pay attention to the various voices of doubt and fear that eat away at me from time to time. She'd also probably tell me to pay more attention to clovisdvlbunny.

I find myself browsing for military or Adam Ant -style jackets AGAIN. I am well aware that I don't need any, but I love looking at them. I'm sure part of it is that the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie comes out SOON, and I love pirate-y clothes.

Also, I need to stop paying attention to the insidious whispers of the Body Image Monsters, and start wearing some of the ivory-with-black-accents outfits I've put together. Thanks to thrifting and going through my to be altered stash, I have three or four different outfits, and I want to show them off. But when the time comes to get dressed for something, I second (and third and fourth)-guess myself out of them. Hmmph.

Twitter is indeed the latest incarnation of it's a small world - the Twitter account for the Claire's Accessories brand thanked me for mentioning them in the Gothic Charm School prom post. Wacky.

Help me find a shiny object?

Because I seem to have a knack for stumbling upon this sort of thing too late, this is a completed auction for the sort of ankh pendant I've been trying to find for ages.



See?! It's not the Alchemy Gothic "ankh of the dead" that you can find everywhere. Why can't I find this version? Whyyyyy?!

::stamps tiny feet::

I have an ankh very similar to this, made long ago by Jesse Skellington. But alas, the sheath for mine has long since vanished, and Jesse doesn't seem to be responding to attempts to contact him.

Yes, I know it's a ridiculous cliché. But I wants one. So! Have any of you lovely folks seen this sort of ankh w/ a sheath available anywhere, one that isn't the ubiquitous Alchemy Gothic version? (Which, yes, I do own, because my ankh collection is just that silly. But oh, if I could find one of the silver bladed ankhs w/ sheath! I would be a happy ElderGoth indeed.)
