Of Maintaining Your Gothy Nature And Creativity In Spite Of Ill Health. Please spread the word that there's a new post!

Thank you to staxxy, the Stroppy One, and the Finishing School of Flail, who are all wonderful beta readers. I would be lost without them.

Hey! Last night I was interviewed on Glass of Win on BlogTalk Radio! (clicky-link!) Rachel was a delight to talk to, and I had a lot of fun. The clicky-link is to the download of the show.

Oh, the weather. Right now it is overcast and cool, and I am SO HAPPY about it. I would be gleeful if the weather stayed like this, and we didn't suffer any more glaringly bright, hot days. Why yes, I am a native Seattle-ite, why do you ask?

Today I am meeting a photographer friend for socializing, cupcakes, and plotting of projects, yay! I may post a Shallow Fashion Details post about whatever today's outfit ends up being. Granny boots with pink laces? Black velvet waistcoat with pink satin buttons? Yes, I think those things may be involved.

wow, that column came at just the right time for me. My issues have been getting worse, and hospitalisation is no longer an if, but a when. So I've been quietly stockpiling handsewing projects, and my own pajamas, skully pillow, & quilt will be going with me, if i have any say in the matter.

*love*

:( Dammit.

Oh no! I'm very sorry to hear that.

Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with my friend who asked me the question. She's been dealing with serious health issues for a while, and she might be able to give you advice from someone who's been there.

I agree, the weather up here has been awful. Love the cloudy over-cast with a steady chance of rain.

We're having the same weather! I'm completely stoked.(it's much rarer for us, too)
Not a Seattleite,But Should Be.

And did you know you're one of the "In the Spotlight" this week on the LJ main page? I follow Gothic Charm School and I shall follow you here also *muhuhahaha* *ahem* ;)

I agree totally about the weather - I've never been happier at the complete absence of an English summer.

I've been reading Gothic Charm School since forever and just discovered you have a LJ from the spotlight today! Do you mind if I friend you?

You've been having bright, hot days? I think we may have your weather! Here in Delaware, we would normally be in the midst of a drought. Instead it has been wet ever since spring. Now I know why grunge got its start in Seattle... "Pfft... it's raining again... why bother showering... or shaving... or wearing clean clothes..."

If you would like your weather back, I would be more than happy to pack it up and send it to you. Postage and handling is going to be a bitch....

I didn't realize you were a Seattle-ite! I'm hoping to move to the area in the next couple of years. :)

I got the fall issue of Victoria magazine today and I swear, my soul sang. And then I walked outside and the East County San Diego temperatures just laughed at me. Laughed, I tell you. =(

I think the best thing that kept my gothy nature in time of ill health...

I was in the hospital for a major illness and my friends made me back roses.

It was amazing to say the least.

This is so weird -- I'm pretty sure I saw you in Capitol Hill today, and I was like, "Hey, that's the person that LJ has been featuring recently." It was a strange experience.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Well, considering I was up on Capitol Hill, meeting a friend for cupcakes and conversation, you probably did see me! You should have come over and said hi. :-)
