I want to come up with two words, four letters each, that describe me. You see, I want to embroider them on a pair of fingerless gloves. Yes, like the very cute gloves that two different vendors were selling at the Mourning Market. Neither vendor had phrases that really appealed to me ("Punk Rock"? No. "Hard Luck"? Not even.), hence my deciding to try my hand at making my own set. Besides, I have a LOT of vintage-ish gloves I could use for this sort of thing.

So yes. Two words, four letters each, that are appropriate for me. Please give me suggestions!

("Whimsy", alas, is obviously right out. I suppose I could embroider a word on the back of each hand, instead of a letter on each finger ...)

Ooooh, in other news, the postman delivered my big Emilie Autumn deluxe bundle with the Asylum book (and t-shirt, recipe booklet, deluxe double CD, and totebag). Must not look at book until my workday is done!

So there I was yesterday, happily (still) listening to Within Temptation, when I swear I could hear my brain produce the screech of a needle across a record, and then my brain demanded "Womanizer". Yes, as in the Britany Spears song. Look, I don't understand it either. I mean, in my head there's some context and back story as to why I personally find the song hilarious, but for the most part? I blame minim_calibre and SA. (I blame them for most of the ridiculous poppy music I end up with on my iPod, actually.)

Speaking of ridiculous poppy music, yes, I took advantage of Amazon's free mp3 credits and sale and purchased Adam Lambert's album, because I want to see that fabulous sparkly gay boy do well in the charts. Because honestly? I don't know how often I'd actually listen to the entire album. But my GOD, he's pretty. And straight out of Velvet Goldmine, bless. (I don't need to explain my fondness for eyeliner-bedecked boys who are heavy on the stage theatrics and spectacle, do I? Okay, just checking.)

(However, after I'm done listening to Glambert's album, I think I'm going to go back to Within Temptation. Or Sisters of Mercy. Or go on a MCR bender, I don't know.)

Wow, I want to be done editing this white paper I'm working on. It's ... not fun, that's for certain.

Today's outfit. I made the stripey skirt. The hat is from GypsyWitch designs (clicky-link!) (and oh! I want to eventually get another one in black and pink stripes!), and the necklace (that I should try to get a better photo of) is a music box pendant that is decorated with a large skull. And plays ever-so-slightly off-kilter, which I think is darling. (The necklace is from Bella Lili on Etsy, and yes, that was a clicky-link.)
