Yay!

minim_calibre is a queen among women*, for today she provided me with fun conversation, thrift store shopping, and cupcakes. And while at one of the thrift stores, she found a Revenge-era MCR shirt for me. (Yes, I'm wearing it around the house right now, with a long velvet skirt. Isn't that what everyone's "inside clothes" look like?)

The thrift stores also produced a stack of vintage trashy gothic romances (look, any book that includes the line "and a forced marriage in the family crypt!" is one I MUST READ), a black blouse with silver pinstripes (which is the wrong size, but is an exact duplicate of a blouse I have, which means I can use today's find as a source of fabric to add matching ruffles to the previous blouse), a pretty box to store some stuff in, and b&w striped cotton sheets (which will eventually turn into bloomers and maybe a skirt). (And a black blazer to alter and a skully t-shirt, but those aren't quite as exciting as the other stuff.)

Tomorrow I get to experiment with this whole "morning" thing again, as I have to be at the office of my contract agency at 8AM for orientation. This is going to be interesting. Will a full dose of Ambien knock me out at 10PM tonight? Or will I just have wacky hallucinations? Let's find out!



*A queen among women EVEN IF she has left me with an earworm I never thought I'd suffer. But apparently "Womanizer" by Britney Spears is freakishly catchy.

Now I'm dying to know WHICH Revenge-era MCR shirt, because... well, we have rather a lot of examples in this house. Okay, two are hoodies. But there's the red one with the bullets that eternaleponine was wearing (with plaid flannel pajama pants, she doesn't do skirts) while she was exercising on the Wii Fit (Plus! We made a doggie Mii!) today, and my "from the razor to the rosary" design that I got at the show in October '05, and the kid's got one with the cover design, and... um. yeah. And that's just the Revenge stuff. I'm wearing a Black Parade hoodie right now. Which has become my grubbiest hoodie, actually, because they used a 50/50 blend and it PILLED, almost immediately.

The Revenge cover. I was very excited, because all of my shirts are TBP -era. I keep hoping I'll eventually find one of the really old ones with the vampire fangs, but so far, no such luck.

(I also keep hoping that I'll find a Revenge-era armband, or a pair of the pink & burgundy limited edition Fluevog Babycakes. Me and my crazy dreams.)

eternaleponine has the armband. She says you can't have it. :-(

Hmmph. Meanie-head!

Yay! Glad you had such a good day! Hope things go well with the Ambien tonight and your orientation tomorrow!

Waaaaaaaay better when you listen to the Patrick Stump version. Um... Just saying.

"and a forced marriage in the family crypt!"

Please to be telling us the title of this wonderous book?

Pretty, please:)

Dude, I've seen Britney Spears live twice and STILL have a program from the concert I saw in, what, my freshman year of High school? Or was that the summer between 8th and 9th grade? Either way, "innocent" Britney can still provide the entertainment! =)

It is a catchy tune!
