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?
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.
Buffy ,'Get It Done'
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.

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.

Jilli, you also bring practical knowlege of living as a goth in a non-goth world, where it isn't something you do as performance art - or a style that is part of a performance - but just day to day life.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jilli, I love that you have essentially made BEING YOURSELF your job.
Oh, let me echo this! That's wonderful!

You people are really good at pep talks. Thank you.
Teppy, I replied to your Heartless squee over in Lit.
I just realized that I need MULTIPLE To Do lists to keep track of everything right now. Ye gods.
