Jon, the article was very cool!

Allyson, I think ripping up your old keyboard and putting keys in the goody bags is a clever idea.

I think there should be a Buffista talent show, with fashions by Jilli, readings, theremin, and martial arts demonstrations.

Heh. With a whole section on how to manage petticoats while out shopping or on the bus.

From waaaaay back, a comment of ita's

I think it's because I was culling pictures of Dita Von Teese for provocateuse last night, and feel guilty for not being more glamourous.

Then again, it's her job.

makes me realize (once again!) that I need to figure out how to make being elaborately gothy my day job. I'd like to have my eccentricities support me.

Oy, I wish I could too. Instead I have to rely on talents, and mostly not the fun ones.

Then again, there is a school of thought (which might be mine--shut up) that I have no eccentricities.

Allyson, your book release party is going to be on a weekend, right?

very obviously keeping quiet

Thank god I have no demonstrable talent.

So being the queen of slash isn't a demonstrable talent?

Then again it's not like I have any talents, not that it's ever stopped me from shamelessly singing in public. (Okay, maybe there have been a few moments of shame when I realized I was overheard.)

This may just be the first true articulation of my highest aspiration...above enlightenment, above peace on earth...I'm no proud.

But, seriously, if the great Cosmic Comedian saw fit to mold me in Auntie Mame's image, shouldn't I get that great apartment and that even greater wardrobe? How am I to fully realize my calling without them?

Won't this taint destiny and, therefore, throw the planet off its axis?

I mean. Really.

I don't quite know these people, so it would not be interpreted in a way that makes me comfortable.

Oh, you'd have to get someone they didn't know to call. From a payphone.

I'm coming out to $5 a bag for 60 bags, which is pretty good.

Plain brown bags with a mouse sticker on each, with the wax fangs, a temp tattoo of the mouse, a pink flamingo lollipop, and a keyboard key in each bag.

I'm hoping for maybe 20 people to attend, but mentally preparing myself for like, 10.

I have no idea who to invite, and frankly, I think half my friends will blow it off, anyway. It's the way of it.

Invite me, and G&J!

Invitations you shall have!
