I know I was absent too, but that's because of this stupid ass job.

This past weekend, everlastingwhy's nieces came to visit. They are 15 and 13 and just adorable. eMMa (her preferred spelling) is 13 and has recently entered her neo-punk phase. That means this weekend was spent dying her hair purple and henna-ing a scorpion on her calf. Molly is 15 and spent a good portion of the weekend rereading The Scorcerer's Stone and taking notes. So very cute. Additionally, I decided to reclaim my lost adolescence and get my nose pierced. Hee! I like it so much I think I'm going to go back for the eyebrow next weekend. I'll post pictures as soon as I can swipe my mom's digital camera.

In the cleaning frenzy that preceded the visit, Ru found my copy of Good Omens in a big tupperware container in her room. How did it get there? I have been looking for it for months and was convinced Mom had it. All preliminary evidence points to a ghost.

Is it just me, or should the term 'piss-slit' never EVER be used in slash? It's just gross. Perhaps it's the universe's way of telling me to leave nifty.org alone.

I went to see the new Tomb Raider movie last night with a bunch of people. It was OK, but Gerard Butler? He can come home with me any time he wants. Rwoar. His sexified presence caused lallybroch to demand I find for her Reign of Fire slash. Does anyone know where I can find some? I only know of a couple stories that appeared on RareSlash.

Ever since I was in college, I've wanted a facial piercing, either my nose or my eyebrow. I always put off doing it, but lately the urge has nearly been undeniable. Ru's nieces are coming for a visit at the end of the month and the youngest has just entered her rebellious 'punk' phase so we'll be making a trip to the Parlor & Purgatory to accesorize her. I might not be able to resist temptation while there.

I'm also tempted to spend my afternoon sneaking bits of writing into the thrilling schedule screen-prints from DOS.
