Enough one liners to make a post

Apparently, I am not allowed to subject minors to The Rockstar Trap(TM), nor am I allowed to keep them in cages, even if they have purple hair.

That said, I am preparing to become enamored of this band as soon as they get some production values.

Please note that no one at work thinks I'm actually a pedophile - just that I become easily obsessed. HOWEVER, NOT WITH MINORS (except Daniel Radcliffe).

I want to go home. No, I REALLY want to go home. I REALLY want to go back to the place where everything has an "away" and where I'm not spread out over three rooms and two floors to sew and where I know what the food is and what it is for, and where I have not introduced nearly two pounds of madeleines into the wild.

For reference, I think I ate 1 and three quarters pounds of the madeleines.

I DO NOT WANT to go to my cousin's wedding this weekend - unless I go with a fire axe and smack it into her fucking whiny head.

The bad part? It's MY FAULT we're going to the wedding! I was the one saying that no one should celebrate their wedding alone!

Unfortunately, altruism dies a horrible death when confronted with my cousin. With any luck, she'll never speak to me again (oh the horror of the fact that I pointed out that if she didn't care what kind of dress she had, THE DRESS WOULD BE FOUND! And etc on all the other "horrible" things I said! I'm such a terrible person! Let me slit my wrists!) and that would be sad.

Really.

Have I mentioned that I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GO HOME?

I want to read dress diaries - but actually, what I want to read is MY dress diary. Which must mean that I need to WRITE IT (it's for a steampunk explorer/dandy type that I must ZOMG find a character reference for because this is The New Halloween Costume, and god forbid I just tell people 'It's a steampunk explorer' because they will all stare at me and I will suddenly have Gerard Way's "Ew at your face" face on my OWN face.) but that means that I need to FINISH SOMETHING.

So far what I've finished is finding four yards of hand-woven machine-washable silk for under fifty bucks. I suspect I just supported a totalitarian regime.

And I've finished a jabot. It's rather cute. And material acquisition for other parts of the project. And pattern acquisition.

What I lack is a CONCEPT. Or at least one that is not merely two words that no one will get at all - I need one that is a recognisable name-and-source that people will go "Oh, I don't know that," to and walk away.

I really am not a fan of the fourth of July.

Daniel Radcliffe is not a minor. At least not in the UK. ;)

1 Madeleine = love. 2 Madeleines = diabetes.

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

And thirty Madeleines?

I don't think he's still a minor even here (haven't looked lately, I've had other people to crush on) but he was when I started fancying him. And yes, Harry Potter IS just a piece of meat. *g*

You mean you're not dead, yet? o.O

He won't be starting July 23rd (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0705356/). 8D Well the boy obviously doesn't look his age!

Mmmmmmm, meat. ;)

Two things:
1.) LOVE madeleines
2.) don't like weddings. Mine was 4.5 minutes long for a reason. Heh.

My brother and his wife tried to have theirs be only two minutes - if I hadn't broken down crying in the middle of performing the service, it totally WOULD have been. I am all in favour of Very Short Weddings, but I cry like an emo teenager every damn time. Kind of bad when you're the minister.

Madeleines...made of win. Not so much with my general health from eating so many but OH MY GOD I COULD BUY MORE NOW.

That is a bit of a set-back, but what a lovely thing to experience with your brother in this new phase of his life!

It's really awesome to do - so far I've done three weddings and they've all been really neat (and really different - in one of them, the bride and groom exchanged a high five instead of kisses.)
