Stuff. Things. Distract me with happy stuff?

[cupcake_goth]

Thing the First: as far as I know, I still have a job, and am not in danger of that changing. But let's just say the morale around here is not the best that it could be.

Thing the Second: There's other stuff that's making my day not very fun. I can't really talk about it here, but let's just say that I am not having the Best Day Ever.

Thing the Third: Hello, stress-induced craving for cupcakes and booze! How are you? Overwhelming, you say? Swell. Just ... swell.

(I will not go to the cafeteria or vending machines, I will not.)

So, some good things:

- I'm not getting sick! My feelings of unwellness were probably directly tied to the awful air quality of the past few days.

- I am wearing a dark dark wine velvet blazer, that I created by soaking a spare red velvet blazer in a dye bath of black RIT. (For once, RIT's inability to give a true black color worked to my advantage.) So my coveting of a new jacket was solved without spending money.

- Tickets for the Vampire Ball are on sale! An event to look forward to!

But I need more happy stuff for distraction. This is where I turn to you people. Tell me happy things!

Good stuff... ummm...

- I am starting to feel enough better that I can actually get chores and other things accomplished. Woot!

- I have lost enough weight that I was able to wear my underbust corset on Saturday for the dinner. (with the blouse from you, the tricorn I made of roses, and stripey tights.)

- Valentines day is the next holiday. That means stores are full of PINK, and lots of lip print stuff (former for you, latter for me).

umm... that's about all I have right now. Well, and I love you.

is this the ball in pdx?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[marc17.livejournal.com]

Yes, and hopefully with Cucpcake_goth's permission here is the Vampire Masquerade Ball web site (http://www.vampireballpdx.com/).

First: glad you are still among the ranks of the employed Borg.

Alright, I'm coming in late to the game.
Do you have a recommendation other than RIT for good black?
Or can you get passable results doing a blue layer first?

Tis the season for SMF-y costume goodness.

My happy things!

1. Obama!

2. I'm still employed!

3. Art classes are kicking ass!

4. If you want some *amazing* Chinese food, there's a great place 4 blocks from my new place.

5. Few things are cuter than watching silly kitties fall off the couch, then give that 'I meant to do that...' look.

6. I gave my black forearm crutches metallic pink highlights.

It's even better larger but I didn't want to break the comments section!

I just went out with one of my best friends for some nummy lunch and gossip. It was good.

[water-of-fire.livejournal.com]

I SO want cupcakes and booze.

I also want that latex necklace you're wearing in your icon. Too bad my skin would actually burst into flame.

(I will not go to the cafeteria or vending machines, I will not.)

I think today warrants a cupcake. IJS.

Good Things:

Due to a gift card from my dad to the Godiva store, at lunchtime I obtained a box of decadent chocolate for a tiny outlay of my own money.

I'm totally with you on the booze, and the only reason anyone in my group is stressing is a release or a data center rollout.

Happy things? Hmm. Is it too late to say "President Obama"?

Happy thing

[jaborwhalky.livejournal.com]

I have a few lines of things for you on your stuff.. ;-)

[pix-kristin.livejournal.com]

No more Bush or Cheney! PRESIDENT OBAMA! I know, it's been said. But it makes me happy every single time I think about it.

Also, I have a cupcake. Yum.

[marc17.livejournal.com]

Your talk of cupcakes and booze has me thinking of some sort of cupcake/booze concoction. Like a cupcake smothered in Irish cream or something like that. Maybe if you baked those little German chocolates with liquor in them inside cupcakes and then covered them in some sort of alcoholic hot fudge, or...

..um, never mind.

Here. look at this if you haven't already seen it. Not that I've ever been to this site or even know that it exists:

I wanna go to the Vampire Ball (I didn't last year) but booo I just become unemployed. Dammit. And Portland's employment scene sucks.
