Since today is the last day of the dayjob, my plan is to focus on this movie thing and finishing my fiction project so I can hand it to my agent in late September. While job-hunting and keeping Gothic Charm School ticking along.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Jilli, I love that you have essentially made BEING YOURSELF your job.

It is all part of the "become a fabulously wealthy eccentric" plan. If I could claim to have a plan, which I kinda don't. I just do stuff.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
We have a big fraternity (Omega Psi Phi) meeting in town and the area is crowded with members wearing their colors - purple and gold. Is it VERY wrong that the line "The Assyrian swept down on the fold" keeps going through my mind?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Getting edits from her was like being styled with a nit comb.
Snerk.
I just spent a solid hour reconciling my budgeting software with my online banking account. Conclusion - my rent check will not, in fact, bounce. Yayes. Now I just need to get checks for my *new* checking account and then I'll be able to pay August rent. And a million other things, but I'm celebrating this victory by taking the dog for a walk.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jilli - that is BLOODY FANTASTIC!!!! Go you with your Goth self!!
I have been a sewing fiend today! I have made skirts! Pics can (hopefully) be seen here: [link]
The first 6 pictures are the skirt and then a close up of the print. I have a certain affinity for obnoxious 70's prints.

That is truly awesome, Jilli
As to "I have tricked people into believing I know what I'm doing, ohshit," if you're not the ideal professional Goth, who is?

Siouxsie Sioux, Dave Vanian, or Tim Burton. ::nods::

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I don't know. Of course "Professional" is a bit misleading in this context. You live Goth 24 hours a day. Plus in your Gothic Miss Manners and other writing you do Professional Goth as your second Goth. On the whole, I'd say you beat all of the above for Goth essence.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Jilli, that is EXCELLENT!
Also, and I realize this is the wrong thread for it, I just finished Heartless, and it actually made me say "Holy SHIT!" out loud, at about 4 different places in the book.
