Bitterly Ironic? Smokin' Chronic...

So I'm avoiding homework again, and falling victim to more trifling emotions....
And who knew that Simon and Garfunkel and The Beatles could be so uplifting (haha)
I've been in a bittersweet mood lately, just 'cause I think too much when I'm high.
Inside I'm hopeful and quite happy though, although I have a lot of doubts at the moment.
I should just set myself free from everything, I should let go of the past...just hold on to happy things.
"People are cowards in the face of happiness, you need courage to hold on to happiness"
Very true....
So I should just embrace life with open arms, it's like dancing down the street singing at the top of your lungs; that's what weed does for me.
It's like an anti-depressant for me, but I never actually use it to solve my problems (the reason I never smoke in my house, even though I can)
I have to wonder about irony where life is concerned....life IS irony.

Shenanigans

So this morning I woke up on Catwoman's floor, she asked me what we did yesterday and I drew a blank.
"yeah, what did we do?" I thought
All I could remember is something about my pants being undone, and literally rolling on the floor laughing, and her saying that she was having a blast.
I don't remember some brilliant things that I should've written down.
So, obviously we slowly remembered yesterday (lacking some very fuzzy details), but it's all chronological.
In the humble abode of The Jester we smoked the fumes of heaven, from l'herbe verte magique; oh, how sweet it was....
And I don't know why the world suddenly flopped upside down...oh, wait, I was on the floor.
I was rolling around, laughing....and being quite provocative....and I became a gangsta, or a rapper...a gangsta rapper...yeah...
I'm not entirely sure what happened after that, well at least I didn't spark a bowl while being video taped....
oh, wait....well, at least I didn't blow smoke into the camera....erm, nevermind...
Well, at least I didn't almost make a lesbian porno.....oooops.....but I didn't actually make a lesbian porno, but there is definitely a nice shot of my ass on that nonexistant tape.
I'm pretty sure cheetos, and cheese, and caffeine, and sexy-ness came after that.
oooh, risque!
A brownie in the bathroom happened about two hours later, then we got stalked by what I think was the restless spirit of a child. Jason and Pennywise came to kill us while we were on a dark street, and "I hope that's not a murder scene", and "oh, look, that guy has a chainsaw"
(Thanks, Catwoman)
Pizza, and the beach while it was raining....and people kissing in the rain.
And I'm pretty sure we were petting all kinds of dogs and cats all day (stray cats are awesome).
Then we took off in our very own rocket ship!
And there's been theme music playing for the last 24 hours.
When we came back to earth I found myself asleep on Catwoman's floor.
The first order of business today was a visit from the weed faerie, and a lovely walk through the park.
It was sunny and beautiful, a perfect day.
We followed the little white butterfly to our happiness....

Dresses

My picks for dresses :)

Glamour Bunny Yellow Dress

Modcloth Modern Fairytale Dress

 Pin-up dresses first of all are amazing, especially in a pretty colour like pink, yellow, or blue. Vintage dresses can be nice if you're more conservative, the 50's have some cute dresses (worn with little white gloves). Modcloth is a great place to get vintage dresses: http://www.modcloth.com/

Another good place to get vintage is Anthropologie: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp

Corsets are always in fashion and always pretty, especially in lace...if you dare. Steampunk and gothic bondage fashion can be fun if you have a darker side, I particularly like Infectious Threads: http://infectiousthreads.com/

For more classic Victorian gothic fashion try: http://www.galleryserpentine.com.au/

Also American dollars will go far, because it's an Australian site (the best place to get gothic clothing is Australia)

Joyeuse Saint Valentin!

Actually, Je deteste jour de valentin...
and I could use a beer (I don't even like beer)
I was originally gonna write about how Mr.Fox just came back from Australia (apparently he saw Satan there), and about how I need to get the fuck out of this goddamn country...I need to get the fuck outta here and do something.
I was then gonna talk about how I'm probably gonna spend my entire adult life making up for all the things that I never got to do as a kid (like learning how to ride a bike and do a cartwheel)
Hell, I never even got Christmas or Birthday presents as a kid (still don't)
But I just realised that it doesn't matter as much as I thought it did, I celebrate Pagan holidays now...alone, in the comfort of my bedroom; and I'm fine with it.
My parents are unreliable, dysfunctional, and usually completely ridiculous; and it doesn't bother me anymore.
I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I feel bad (because I know he loves me); but the relief that I feel is overwhelming...
I guess this proves how much he stressed me out.
Anyway, people that I haven't seen since freshman year have been reappearing lately, and getting back together with my close friends (interesting pattern).
But I'm glad that mostly everybody is happy (or at least content), Happy Valentine's Day, mes amis.
