Well, I didn't do a damned thing for New Year's Eve, and our date fell through (probably my fault). Yay.

I think I have found a solution to my current lack of decent colouring software. After years of avoiding it in favour of Photoshop (which is still superior), I downloaded the free graphics editing program GIMP 2. It's not bad. And you can't ( Read more... )

You guessed it: my motherboard failed. Again. I purchased a new motherboard, one not prone to the sudden death issue my A8N-SLI Deluxe had, but encountered both apathy and software issues and thus never got it working. My parents ended up being my saving grace: I got a new computer for Christmas (with a shiny legal copy of Windows Vista)! Raven ( Read more... )

So, once again it comes down to either a) I change, or b) I lose everything I have ( Read more... )

Dear You Tube Makeup Artists,

STOP SHOVING EVANESCENCE DOWN MY FUCKING THROAT.

Thank you,
Kali Maxwell

Sorry, I'm just feeling slightly annoyed by the near autistic choice in background music for most of You Tube's "Gothic" makeup tutorials. And some of these people look like they've been reading the Bloody Mary "Turning Goth - How To" (please ( Read more... )

This morning I spent the time to make an avatar that actually shows *me* - well, part of me, anyway - and I rather like it. It's now my default pic. I took a bunch of photos this morning, and the best will be going up on Gothic_Babes and my new My Space page ( Read more... )

Have you ever noticed some of the odd things that people find, well, odd? I ordered two lovely ankle-length skirts last month, and they arrived this past Wednesday. I wore the first on Thursday and the second on Friday, and both days everyone who saw me stared at me like I was a lunatic ( Read more... )

FINALLY, my computer is back up, with a fresh install of everything and a shiny new GeForce 8600 graphics card that kicks some serious ass. It's like browsing the web and playing WoW in High Definition. I've happily made Firefox my default browser, as well ( Read more... )

While I am NOT that into Christmas stuff, I spotted an annoying little decoration I have to have: a reindeer with buggy, segmented eyes that plays the saxophone, sways side-to-side and wiggles his ears when you activate him. And I will plant the little fucker right on top of my computer at work ( Read more... )

I FINALLY got the links on Breathless to show up. Evidently the page had too much information on it... Go figure. Anyway, a severely limited amount of the shopping links are up for viewing now, on a separate page from the "my favourite places" links page.

A golden piece of wisdom upon the subject of women...

Women from fourteen years old are flattered with the title of "mistresses" by the men. Therefore, perceiving that they are regarded only as qualified to give the men pleasure, they begin to adorn themselves, and in that to place ill their hopes. We should, therefore, fix our attention on making ( Read more... )
