When asked about my favorite movie I must admit I was a bit stumped. You see, part of my illness is an inability to sit still for long periods of time. It's not so much a short attention span mind you, but more of a certain sort of fidgety-ness. I get 'ants in the pants', if you will. This feeling can be nullified be reading...

Dracula is definitely yummy, @korben, and the other two are just plain awesome.

ahh love this post. Morbidity, discovering bisexuality---I'm not sure where I am anyway sexually but I am drawn to men and woman ---sort of somewhere in there somehow..:) But morbidity has been with me since around age 7 and I'm middle aged now---cutting, suicide attempts --yeah the whole scene and this will always be with me. So wish I could have embraced this as a Goth when I was young..but maybe it is never too late..And Beethoven --  I took piano for about 17 years and my last piece that I had mastered was a Beethoven Variation that was so moving and emotional!!. I can still play the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata and I learned that in High School. Yeah the muscle memory is still there...along with the emotional and soul memory..:) Thank you Iggy for all the support you give me and have given me. I admire you sooo much!!

That is my favorite painting. Sometimes, when in certain states of inebriation, I like to think that I modeled for it in a past life. It's certainly something I would do, no? The painting is called 'Two Girls' and it's by the artist Christian Schad, who did much of his work during the Weimar Period in Germany.

I think about the 1920's and wish I

That painting is really something. I can understand the want to stop and stare at it! If you got a high enough res you could reprint yourself? I don't suppose the gallery has prints? The art deco of that time is really inspiring, almost a bridge between two time, which I suppose it is. The world turned but the art was somehow still magical, soft, it's hard not to love that. You'd have fit right in! I've had half formed thoughts of going for an deco vibe when I decorate my stairs and 1st floor landing.

I suppose if I found a high enough resolution image I could indeed print it myself, @trills. It's definitely something to look into! If I had my druthers (and money!) I would get a house from the twenties and decorate a lot of it in an art deco fashion.

I don't normally do the celebrity crush thing, but there are exceptions to prove the rule. That being said, I have the most massive crush on Kevin Barnes from of Montreal. He's one dreamy piece of man flesh. He's not stereotypically handsome, but he writes a damn good song and seems generally weird, and that's enough to get me going. Also, he's way thin. I...

I'm listening to Tv on the Radio and thinking back to ten years ago. That's when I first heard them. Funny, how music can do that to you.

Ten years ago this month I was on the brink of homelessness, though I didn't know it at the time. I was spending a lot of time in the city. (By city I mean New York. New...

So, this weeks blog topic is 'Our Best Advice'. Now, I know I am not old. However, being on a site populated mostly by people in their twenties does make a gal feel her years more often than not. But, the best part of being older is indeed being wiser. I wish I had a time machine so that I could go back to my...

yes!!! i also try to over think all my purchases so i don't end up with another pay phone or she-ra children's sword. i could also use a visit from future me most of the time. i make bad choices like it's my job.
notoriousmilsurpgeek:
If i got a visit from future me at about age 7 i would run screaming because i think i would look like the terminator. which brings me to why i would visit past me- guns...lots of guns.
