Fun research
I've been reading primary sources about 19th century American needlework. This 1895 "The Decorator and Furnisher" has great examples of Victorian passive aggressive bitchiness. 1-"Cross stitch is easiest of all.

Goddamn, I sure fell off of this thing, didn't I?
Part of my problem is that (aside from being really busy) anything I want to say seems really dumb, boring, inconsequential or self-absorbed. I like reading OTHERS' posts that are just as trivial, though, so I'm not sure why that stops me ( Read more... ) -
JC, 5 days? Oh well. Days 9-13

Day 04 → Something you have to forgive someone for.
I'm going to kind of cheat and do this a bit differently. It's something I technically have already forgiven ( Read more... ) -
Day 03 → Something you have to forgive yourself for.
Wow, this is a hard and potentially awkward one! Especially for a public entry ( Read more... ) -
Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
Yeah yeah, already a day behind. :P Two today ( Read more... )
