(no subject)

Today I am stomping around in a new pair of platform boots that I won on eBay several weeks ago. Unsure about the level of pleased I am, but they make me rather tall. Even if they do have oddly shaped toes.

Cue the carnival music, won't you?

I also have a keen swirly skirt, which I've decided to wear against bare legs. No stockings for this girl, for once. I think I'm happier with the skirt than I am with the boots because I keep spinning in place to watch it flare out.

I'm actually eight-years old, just in case any of you were wondering.

I have the office to myself for the whole day (and tomorrow, as well), since Miss Angel has fucked off for parts (unfortunately) well known. She'll be at the Fairy Festival in Pennsylvania all weekend, which brings much hilarity whenever any of her co-workers discuss it. She attempted to convince me that I also wanted to go, but I wouldn't make a very good fairy. Too stompy. Too growly. Too easily led into angry flailing.

So, this wonderfully overcast day finds me blaring the Dresden Dolls as loud as I dare without having the therapy office next door to me knocking down my door. Over and over and over. My office is the only place I'll dance in, even with the fact that I have a rather large window that overlooks the very-busy-at-all-times parking lot and I can never remember to close my blinds.

Goodness for the day:
* new boots
* new swirly skirt
* made it to work (vaguely) on time
* I have Chai to drink!
* my brother and I received the life insurance money yesterday.
* some man just walked past my closed office door singing, "We are the World". I laughed so hard, I snorted. He heard me. hee!

five uncool things about me

stolen from sophiaserpentia

1. I played with My Little Ponies and She-Rah dolls until seventh grade.

2. The way I learned how to code HTML was because a handful of years ago, I had a roommate with a computer. It was the first time I had ever used the internet and knew nothing about using PCs. I had decided to make a web page and was slowly learning the HTML. I wanted to join webrings, so I needed to put the code on my webpage. I didn't know how to cut and paste, or even that it existed, so I painstakingly WROTE ON PAPER the HTML code, then typed it into Notepad or my webshell. I'm now so focused on hand-coding HTML, that I have a very hard time using things like Dreamweaver to do it for me.

3. The movie "Stand By Me"? Yeah, I've seen it well over a hundred times. I know it verbatim.

4. I've been wearing all black clothing for so long that I am now highly uncomfortable when I wear any other colour. Also, my underwear's colour absolutely MUST match the colour of whatever I'm wearing on the outside or I am equally uncomfortable. Mismatched bras and panties do not happen ever happen, either.

5. I sleep with a stuffed Sylvester the Cat that I have had since I was four. He's terribly ratty looking: all his white bits are now grey bits, he's missing one eye and the other eye's paint has all rubbed off so it's white and blind-looking, his fur is matted and he's been sewn back together by my mother more times than I can count. But he's mine and he's real and I have an incredibly hard time sleeping without him. He travelled with me to New Orleans, Las Vegas, Scotland, England, all the places I have gone to. Not to mention every single camping trip I've ever been on.
