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 love you like fairytales.' No spoilers, I think )

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 Game )

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.

Yay for detailed subconsciouses, pretty hotels, ghosts, really dirty bathrooms, and dead girls in bathtubs.

I have no idea how that was not a nightmare. But it wasn't.

Well, one corner of my room is clean. And considering that's the corner where Reepicheep works most of his havoc, I'm quite proud of that. Also, I cleaned it without moving from my computer chair. I'm efficient through laziness.

Of course, now all the garbage is in the centre of my room, but it'll get cleaned! Honest!

Okeydokey, this is just a list, mainly for me, of things that I can and cannot listen to/do while panicking.

( Stuff You Don't Have To Care About )

Well, I'm pretty sure I have a job. My lack of interpersonal skills is pwned yet again.

I'm so proud of me. I think I have to buy me something nice.

Bwah, interview time.

Dear Soul,

Yes, I realize that you're upset about being up on the auction block. But honestly, you're not as important as visiting Willa sometime this fall. I'm sorry that a telephone market research company is currently the highest bidder for you, but it could be a lot worse.

It could be telemarketing, plain and simple.

Now, could you stop tormenting me? I would still like to sleep to get ready for the big interview tomorrow.

Love and Apologies,

Chloe K. 'Soon to be Soulless' Evil

Okay, so, updating my life.

Wedding on Sunday- this was actually a lot of fun. The wedding service was nice, Orthodox weddings are a lot different from Western weddings, and I prefer them. Anna was beautiful, John was reasonably good-looking, and Emily and Anna T. were also nice looking, as were Josh and Michael, who were groomsmen.

The reception was a blast! The food was decent, the desserts were lovely, the dancing a lot of fun, and the longest speech was my dad's. He always makes long speeches. The best speech was Josh's, which was funny and had a lot of rhyming.

Also, most people I talked to said I was gorgeous and I looked like a model. o.o

I also got to dance. A lot.

I like to dance. I can't dance very well, but I enjoy dancing. So my Uncle Dan taught me a box-step and a guy named Jacob taught me a twostep and spun me around and dipped me a lot, and I danced to MC Hammer, which was funny.

After the dancing, a bunch of us went out to find somewhere to drink. This took a lot of work, as it's hard to find somewhere on Sunday that is open after twelve, but we ended up at the Funky Buddha, where I had tequila. And beer, but the tequila was better. It was fun and I was pleasantly fuzzy for the rest of the evening.

After that, we went home and watched some of Equilibrium, but I got about half an hour in and couldn't take anymore physical contact- me and Anna T. and yet-another-Alex were squished on a couch. I also spilled coke down my shirt. Not that it touched my shirt, but my boobs were cold.

I was on the computer for a little while and then I went to sleep.

On Monday I had no hangover and it was extremely boring.

Tuesday, well, today, I applied for a job and got guilt-tripped by my mom. Heavily. Argh.

And I'm tired.

I like tequila. Whoo.

I have never been so buzzed after three drinks.

You Are An Ash Tree

You are vivacious and impulsive, which makes you extremely attractive to many. Intelligent and demanding, you don't care much for criticism. You have a ton of ambition and talent, and sometimes money rules your heart. You like to play with fate, and you can be very egotistical and restless. Demanding of attention, you need love and a lot of emotional support.

Are we allowed to be freaked out by the accuracy of memes?

And there's a reason I let characters take over my keyboard on AIM. Sometimes funnies come out of it.

[11:49] Alexa Parker: And I don't even know what a semaphore is! Hah. This is somehow amusing me.
[11:49] Rory Harper-Fraser: It's a method of signalling using flags
[11:50] Alexa: Like on pirate ships?
[11:51] Rory: On any ship, I do believe it was primarily naval. Or from hill to hill, they sometimes had giant semaphore towers with large flags
[11:51] Alexa: *innocently* Why didn't they just use the internet?
[11:52] Rory: Because that was only used for the sending of pointless e-mail messages going 'LOL I C UR SAMAFOR TOWR'
...
[11:53] Rory: 'DO U WANT 2 C MI SAMAFOR TOWR????'
