Awesome Clone Wars rug
Awesome Batman clock
Sweater in progress
Signed photo of Billy Dee Williams
Batmonkey



2. How do you style your hair? How often do you cut it?
It's just... um... Like this:

I should probably take the shaved half down again sometime soon. I don't cut it on any regular schedule, though. Trying to grow the long half out.

3. What are you wearing now?
Teal sweater, jeans, shitton of jewelry.

4. What's your occupation? Do you like it?
Trophy housewife. Love it.

5. When was the last time that you took a nap? Was there a special reason?
Hm. It's been some time, actually. I can't remember. Usually it's just because I'm lazy.

6. Who was the last person you hugged romantically?
My husband.

8. What was the last full meal that you ate?
I had some Reggae Reggae Curry Noodles a couple hours ago. That's as close to a full meal as I usually get.


9. What was the last email that you received?
Facebook comment notification.



10. What one website do you always visit when you go online?
Ravelry.


11. What was the last significant thing you bought?
How do you define significant? I spent rather a significant amount of birthday money recently, but on fairly trivial things. Mostly makeup. I did a pretty big Sweet Libertine order a couple days ago.

12. What musical artist did you not get at first, but then became a fan?
I wouldn't say I didn't *get* them, but I did try and deny my love for the Backstreet Boys for a very long time. I gave up. THEY ARE DREEEEEAMY.

I'm rereading From Hell, so mostly I've been thinking about grapes and prostitutes and Alan Moore's beard.

Oh god, I wish I could do anything, but lately I've been desperate to be able to draw. I just can't.

17. Did you watch the Idol 9 finale? If yes, what are your thoughts?
Fuck that shit. I will never understand America's madness for forgettable, interchangeable, bland, easy-listening, douchebaggy, soft "rock" guys. Crystal should've won.

18. What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
WTF dude, we went to school together for four years, my bff stalked you in a ridiculous manner, YOU KNEW ME. Why don't you remember me? I am so confused.

19. Any special plans for this (holiday in the States) weekend?
It's a holiday in the UK as well. And not really. We're going to the inlaws' for a joint birthday dinner for me & my BIL on Monday. I will hopefully get some more presents.


20. Besides your current S/O, who was the last person that you loved romantically?
A really very sweet guy who I just didn't quite love as much as I did the guy who would eventually become my husband.

A few of the things that occupy my Wordless Wednesdays.

Totally just ganking this...

...from Jewles.

1) If you had to give yourself a porn name what would it be?

Crap, I thought of an amazing one a couple weeks ago. WTF was it? Oh well, I forget. Either way, my porn name would be Mitten. I have always wanted to be called Mitten.

2) How many hours of sleep is too many?
As a life long severe insomniac, I can say that there is no such thing.

3) Favorite breakfast food?
Bloody mary. Totally counts as food, right?

4) One celebrity you could live the rest of your life never hearing about again?
OOH. That one chick. Fox.... Something... Megan Fox? God, she's desperately sad. And not in a fun, trainwrecky way.

5) Person in the #1 spot on your “allowed to hook up” list?
Tom Baker.

Being pro-choice isn't being FOR abortion, you fucking moron. OH, YAY, LET'S EVERYBODY ALL GO OUT AND GET ABORTIONS WILLY-NILLY!

10. Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
Since when does the world have ANY kind of president? Are you implying the US *is* the world? God, I hate you.

Some places it is. You're incredibly US-centric. It's bugging me.

Again with the FOR OR AGAINST. Not thinking it's a sin doesn't mean OMG EVERYBODY GO OUT AND FUCK WITHOUT A WEDDING RING RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.

17. Should the war in Iraq be called off?
LOL. "Called off." Like a fucking broken engagement. This is the most pathetically superficial, uninformed meme ever.

18. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
I agree that it is illegal in some places. It isn't in others. So your statement is false in those places. So I disagree.... with a false statement that isn't even an opinion. Fucking hell, I'm talking in circles. DIAF already.

19. Do you believe in spanking your children?
A swat on the butt never hurt me.

So... Yeah. Another meme. Suck it.

BPAL of the night: La Belle Au Bois Dormant ... and Sunday Stealing FTMFW.

LA BELLE AU BOIS DORMANT
The Sleeping Beauty. A gentle, lovely scent, slightly soporific, but beautiful in its quiet repose. Plumeria and white pear, Damascus rose, tuberose, magnolia and evening dew.

[omg lookit, it's all twinkly!]

Mmmm, so I'm feeling all girly & shit tonight. Valentine's & all, I guess. I like my florals obscene and dripping, more of the O'Keefe, less of the Fragonard. I don't usually go for light, fruity ones like this, but for some reason I keep putting this one on all the time. I think it might be the magnolia. And yeah, if it's gonna be fruity-floral, it might as well be pear, which I adore. It's SUPER sweet, and I have to be in the mood for it. Which I am. And tomorrow, my husband will wake me up by kissing me and we will go watch a Disney princess movie. ::chorus of AAWWWWWWWW::
