Here Comes A Storm
Kicked out of Girl Scouts at 12. I am definitely the poster girl for Does Not Play Well With Others. I once named a cat after the Siouxsie & The Banshees song Peekaboo. I like to think of myself as "vintage" goth and if you call me old, I will fork you in the eye. I have recently decided I am too stupid to date. Self realization is da bomb. Pet Peeves of the moment: People without basic manners. |

Thursday Thirteen #32 - We Are Spirits In The Material World
2007-10-24 23:58:00
For your Halloween TT Pleasure I bring you 13 spooky places to visit. Some I have been to, some I would love to visit, and others I'd have to think long and hard about venturing in!1. The Bell Witch Haunting - TennesseeShe was reputedly so scary even Andrew "Stonewall" Jackson retreated before spending a full night at Bell Plantation. The malicious entity that plagued a Tennessee farmhouse in 1817 ended in the only known murder by a poltergeist. The problems began when John Bell saw a strange animal in his cornfield dissolve into thin air. Soon, the family heard scratching at the doors and windows, then gnawing sounds started coming from inside the house. Within a year, the presence began speaking and threatened to kill John. The fame of the "Bell Witch" spread, and even Andrew Jackson came to dispel the spirit. Nothing worked. John Bell was beaten so mercilessly by the presence that his tongue swelled and he could barely eat. A doctor prescribed a tonic, but the witch bragged it pois ...

The Tracks Of My Tears
2007-10-19 20:41:00
I was recently honored with another Blogger Blingage award courtesy of John over at Altjiranga Mitjina and I am of course blushing again. Thank you for your kind words John and back at you. I can count on you for tips on great under appreciated music and a fellow Buffy fan is ALWAYS fine by me! And in a Karmic twist, procrastination on handing out MY award choices has paid off. First off let me say that the folks I read and visit on a regular basis are a diverse and fabulous bunch of people. All of them are worthy of this award. But today I want to recognize one person in particular. Vinny Bond over at the Big Leather Couch has a beautifully written and very well thought out post up today about a special young man. Please, go read it. Get your kleenex and go read it. Bond made me cry, AT WORK and then I was forced to eat a donut to regain my equilibrium. Bond, my ass says, "DUDE!! WTF!!"Seriously. ...

She's A Witch Of Trouble In Electric Blue
2007-10-15 22:15:00
Lordy I am not into Mondays.WTF is Star Reynolds doing on House Hunters?!Sorry...that just threw me for a loop. So anyhow...Mondays. Bleh. Suckage. Pissy. Dropped Kidlet off at school and then got to enjoy a fabulous commute populated with dill wads who have completely forgotten how to drive in rain. And they chose to decompensate in front of me. Joy!And then ...work.Gotta win the lottery. Gotta buy a ticket first. Yeah.Hit the store on my way home from work and then got home and decided I wanted fried eggs and toast for dinner. So that is what I had. Watched Weeds as it was conveniently on at 7 (?!) tonight. That is a perk of having like 10 Showtime channels available! Season 3 is pretty darn good so far. Even the Olson twin is pretty good. And so far Season 2 of Dexter is kicking major ass. Dexter is easily my favorite show on TV. It just squeaks out Weeds. I am actually digging the plot device on Weeds that added Peter's ex wife. At first I was sceptical. But the mammogram scene wo ...

"I Don't Drink Vine, And I Don't Smoke Chit"
2007-10-13 10:41:00
Um....no.What Your Halloween Habits Say About YouA bit of an introvert, you like the special occasions just as much as everyone else. You just have your own unique way of celebrating Halloween.You often feel invisible when you're in public. And it's a shame, because you're really quite a character.Your inner child is stubborn and a bit bossy.Your fears are irrational and varied. It's hard to predict what you may be afraid of on any given day.You're prone to be quite emotional and over dramatic. Deep down, you enjoy being scared out of your mind... even if you don't admit it.You are a traditionalist with most aspects of your life. You like your Halloween costume to be basic, well made, and conventional enough to wear another year.What's Your Halloween Personality?If I could be an Anne Rice Vampire I'd do it :PYou Could Be a Vampire... If You Had ToLike most people, the thought of being a vampire has crossed your mind. But you're not sure if you'd do it, even if you could.Livin ...

The Jubilee Act
2007-10-12 12:16:00
Here is the latest on the Jubilee Act from One.org. Please, take a moment and email your representative and ask them to support this important bill. Rather than email 4 people I am putting the challenge out to you guys to take 2 minutes and make a difference." If you've ever fallen behind on your bills or watched a friend struggle to make the monthly payment on a credit card, you know how devastating debt can be. Now imagine entire countries in the developing world—countries already struggling to lift their people out of extreme poverty—facing mountains of debt they didn't ask for and can't afford to pay.Across the developing world, from Haiti to Lesotho, countries that should be distributing AIDS drugs, building schools and fighting hunger are trapped by billions of dollars of debt—debt often racked up by corrupt rulers who used the money to enrich themselves and used the future of their terrorized people as collateral.A bill in Congress would cancel that debt for countries t ...

My Secret For Youthful Good Looks?
2007-10-11 12:56:00
Desert pointed this one out to me and I LOVE IT! From over at 2K Blogger and I am rolling! My comments in blue ;)Starrlight (I didn’t find her real name) (cause Starr ain't that crazy) is a gothy (just don't call me Emo) chick who takes pride in having been kicked out of the girl scouts at twelve. Her blog is called “Here comes the storm - in the form of a girl“, so I am guessing she isn’t really out of puberty yet. (Hey! Those are song lyrics. Poor Courtney, she is not resonating to a large audience these days. And here I thought it was the Oil of Olay that kept me so young and peppy rather than delayed puberty ;0) Her blog is hip and trendy and looks a lot like a myspace page. For those of you who are in this for the fun and occasionally freaky, (Hail to the kink, baby) the Storm’s the place. Oh, by the way, Starr also loves two of my fave television shows: weeds and Dexter. I admit to deep feelings of love for Showtime. (Do The Brick Dance!)All joking aside, a big "Thank ...

Technorati Can Gargle Donkey Nuts
2007-10-08 22:41:00
I am off the technorati train my friends. Seeing that if you are blog rolled and the person who has you blog rolled does not remove you and re-add you ever 6 months, well that link might as well NOT exist for you.So I am bidding Technocrapi adeiu. Here is my final post. Saved for posterity as I am sure the admin will delete it...once he finishes his 6 month donut break :P"Well I went from an 8k rank to a 24k rank. Because you, ADMIN, and your little Technorati code nazi's have decided to fuck over blog rolls. Should I ask 400 or so of my closest friends to what...remove me from their blog roll for a couple of weeks and then re-add me? I don't think so.So here is where we stand Technorati. How is YOUR rank calculated? You all like it when we, your serfs, link you to you with your stupid halfwit coded widgets right? Well guess what?YOUR AUTHORITY JUST WENT DOWN CAUSE I WAXED YOUR ASS OFF MY BLOG.Get fucked. "That was deeply satisfying. I am pretty sure my links to THEM always counted. ...
