What Are The Tears About?

Bolded perfumes are ones I really want.

Okay, so I had a review half-written for seanan_mcguire's Rosemary and Rue and then I decided it sucked and ignored it sitting in the post an entry box and procrastinated updating my LJ to tell everyone I was safe and home from Vancouver without being eaten by moose so I figured I should just write another one now. One that is better.

I did it. I came out to my parents.

In celebration, have my first unlocked LJ post in years.

It feels really good to have their love really confirmed. I love them, too, even if they are human and have their flaws.

And thank GOD that is over with.

Okay, so it wasn't drunk people.

It was zombies.

We're all upstairs in the parental suite. We have water and stuff, and we totally trashed the stairs leading up here. We may not have guns, but we have chainsaws- or at least one. Josh and Dad are using it, my muscles aren't strong enough and mom is freaking out. Everything's pretty wrecked.

I had to spend most of the night on watch and I just got a few hours of sleep. I'm so tired, but I'm too scared to take more than a nap... I'm worried about my computer. Isn't that weird? Hopefully the zombies ignore it. But if it's gone... I will be very upset. My BPAL's safe. I mean, it's a lot more mobile than my computer, so I grabbed it when we ran.

Anyways, mom's gotta go on to send emails to all her family. We haven't heard anything from Saskatoon yet. I hope they're all right.

Check in for me! Let me know you're okay.

After hearing about the comet, me and Josh thought we'd go up to the roof to watch it. It was pretty cool, actually. We could even see it through the streetlights.

We used to do a lot of astronomy when we lived in the country, but ever since we moved back to Edmonton we haven't seen as many stars. I always like going back out at night so that it looks like the sky is painted.

Anyways, we saw the comet- it was really bright and gorgeous, even with the artificial light. It looked like there were a lot of other people watching it too- it is Thursday night. People start getting drunk early here, which is probably why they were stumbling so much. I saw a guy almost get hit by a car a few blocks down. Whoops!

Anyways, I'll probably be up late tonight, especially because I have to keep Prince in here with me to keep him from barking. And even then he keeps doing it. Oy, why do we have such a neurotic dog?

Oooh, BPAL update! Anyone have $49 I can borrow? There's an Inquisition on and I am really liking the look of the scents they have to represent Summer.

SUMMER

ATMOSPHERIC SPRAY
Nepalese amber, vanilla infused amber, golden musk, sandalwood, orange rind, ginger, frankincense, and cardamom.

BATH OIL
Carnation, golden amber, honey myrtle, beeswax absolute, summer peach, cardamom, and vanilla orchid.

PERFUME
Nepalese amber, vanilla infused amber, golden musk, sandalwood, golden lily, sunflower, and honey myrtle.

I MEAN SERIOUSLY. OM NOM NOM.

Well.

The zombies are in the house. I can hear them scrabbling at the door, and they're bashing through the metal pipes at the furnace to get to me. I knew I should have gotten real walls.

I'm dressing up. If I'm going to become a zombie, I am going to be a stylish zombie.

Where'd I put my handcuff necklace?

Stay where you are, everyone. I'll be coming for your brains soon enough.

( The LJDQ Drinking GameCollapse )

I passed a good deal of time at work today thinking about what various fictional people would say if I called them. For example...

Me: Hello, may I speak to Aragorn son of Arathorn?
AsoA: This is he.
Me: Hi, my name is Chloe, and I'm calling to do a customer satisfaction survey for a really big phone company. Would you have time to go through the questions with me now?
AsoA: There may come a time when I sit through your boring survey and the ears of men may fall off, but that is not this day! This day, we HANG UP!

Etc.

Also, I ran into a great answering machine message, when I was calling someone in Hawaii. A very dignified man, with soothing piano music backing him said 'You know what a fun thing to do when someone is out is? Go to their house and pillage their belongings, and then, when they get back, blame it on Vikings!'

I giggled between calls for ten minutes. I've got a sad, sad life.
