sorcyress: Just a picture of my eye (Me-Eye)
Camera Ballerina

[profile] kittikattie has regular Black Days, which are days in the year where she makes a point of dressing up goth. I've adopted the idea, and am only consistent about one day a year: the fourth of July.

This year especially, some memories and anxieties are hitting me hard, and I was miserable. So despite it being eight at night, and my not going out anywhere tonight, I took advantage of the distraction and put some effort into my outfit, and photographing it.

I think I did a good job.

more photos under here )

And basically, the point of all this is that I am gorgeous and it doesn't matter that this holiday makes me anxious, I can still make wonderful things.

MOOP!

1: When doing fetish/kink, I try very hard to get some actual colour into my wardrobe, because I think the black-on-black-on-black TWOO KINKSTER thing gets dull. When going goth though, I have a strong tendency to wear nothing that isn't black, and very deliberately so.

Just a quick thought:

For a good long while now, I have been thinking in the back of my head about creating an actual difference between the journals [livejournal.com profile] kdsorceress and [livejournal.com profile] sorcyress. The former would continue to be what I use pretty much all my journals for --random life dumping, thoughts, silly questions, quotes, and occasional really good writing, while the latter would be restricted to just what I consider the "good" writing --things like my essays, stories, occasional forays into emo poetry, etc.

The entries on Sorcyress would probably be mirrored on kdsorceress, though not vice versa. It would pretty much be designed to give people a chance to skip all the babbling about my life, so they can cut straight to the things that will hopefully inspire discussion. It would also hopefully guilt me into actually writing more essays, so I could have content over there.

Thoughts?

Names!

So, Izolda was posting about names, and I decided to toss my two cents worth at her about mine.

On Katarina, names for kids, and my last name )

On Sorcyress and Sor )

I think that if my past writings are going to make me feel melencholy and empty*, then they should at least also be able to make me giggle.

File on my USB key labelled 'The Roughest Outline I can Manage' (For my 2006 WriMo novel) (You may want to skip this if you want to read what I wrote first )



Somehow, the line "MYSTERIOUS CHOICE!" cracks me up. Especially as I can't actually remember which time she would've chosen, or indeed, if I had a choice for her at all.

The all-caps to designate humour thing is something I picked up from Questionable Content, along with the term "hurr".

In other news, you can find everything I wrote of said novel over in the Kattales. Linky!

MOOP!

(((In other news, it's nice to know that I write myself into almost everything I write. Case in point:

"Boston was, however, one of the most prominant cities in the world, ever since the failed dominator of all mankind declared it her capital. She moved a lot of important stuff up there, and did a lot of very good works for the world and then died spectacularly by tripping while doing a manic victory dance around a bonfire. History can be quite funny sometimes like that."")))

*A lot of the problem is that, when I was fourteen, I was very thoroughly convinced of the idea that you really really really didn't need someone else to be happy. I could grudgingly accept that sometimes people needed to have significant others, but I was convinced that I didn't need anybody else to be happy. Con*vinced*.

And see, that's changed. My emotional stability tends to be somewhat supported by other people at any given point. That's always been true, but it's moreso now. Nowadays, I *need* a partner to keep myself stable and happy, which is so very against my fourteen year old ideal, that it makes me want to scream.

Yep. I'm crazy. What else is new?

I got told by someone recently that I'm really not very good at portraying the non-sexual self that I actually am, what with my recockulous amounts of flirting and my willingness to cuddle or sit in peoples laps or other such behaviors.

Thoughts?

Haha, meme's are totally not equal to what I SHOULD be doing right now. )

Uhmyeah. Now is the time when I should be typing up notes and information for the Lesley University Chaos Club, which I may or may not be starting.

Also, what the fuck does "pompus telks" mean? Because I appear to have written that on my arm as a note for myself for something for the LUCC to do, and it makes NO SENSE AT ALL, OHMAN.

MOOP!

By the way, this Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't even need context to make me giggle

"The rules are easy, just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 people and force them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in a while."

Ten things that have recently made me happy:

1) My boyfriend is coming to visit me this weekend! <3

2) I watched the Jungle Book on Saturday with Jess.

3) I kinda sorta got to see Annaliese on Saturday, through the wonders of the interwob. Hush, I still got to see The Goddess. That's totally happy-fying.

4) Have I mentioned the Kinder Bueno bars yet? Kinder Bueno bars.

5) Mary is becoming friendlier to me. :)

6) The fact that I have not one but TWO pieces of fanart drawn for SOMETHING I WROTE. *squee!*

(Okay, it was a lifefic. And they're more illustrations then fanart. I STILL have fanart, DAMNIT!)

7) The fact that this picture somehow makes me look elegant.

8) Lauren and I now have codenames and injokes and a constant mission (Avoid subject 23-fucking-19). We also invented a game, which is an awesome game, called "Version 2.7" We should go play it again tonight or something. Need to find a tennis ball... >>

Yeah, I have friends! How wild is that?

9) Theatre is life. <3 I guess this means I'm living again.

10) The leaves have started to change, meaning that the already gorgeous view out my window is becoming even prettier. I shall have to go wandering.

11) (Of course it goes up to eleven. :D ) All the wandering makes me seem much smarter then I actually am. ACTUAL QUOTE: "Wow, you're pretty smart [to know about that]" "No, I just walk a lot." (Angelica/Me)

12) I am in a nonexistant band now. Mushmallows fo'EVER!!

(I play the drums. Of course. :D)

13) Maeve

14) "You're Winner!". Seriously, I nearly pissed myself laughing at all the reviews and everything.

15) I can't really remember the last thing, but it's all good. :)

*squee!!*

I saw Weird Al in concert! AND I got to drive to Delaware, and back again. AND I have movie evidence of WEIRD AL WEARING FISHNETS. AND I got to hear Albuquerque live. AND I now have an awesome looking signed shirt.

It was a successful evening. I sleep now.

Okay, so I don't have a paid account anymore, which means I can't actually post polls unless I upgrade to "give me lots of ads oh boy!" which I'm not going to do. (Or get mum to buy me a new one, which is all eh since I really only ever use the extra userpics thing)

But I feel like posting a poll. So this is my makeshift poll. Copypaste it into your comment and x the ticky boxes.

I want to see more...
[]Makeshift polls!
[]Memes
[]Thought provoking rants and generally interesting things, like Kat USED to post.
[]Pictures of Kat. Lots and lots of pictures of Kat.
[]Zombies
[]Stories
[]Mission 101 updates
[]Posts about Kats life. I must know EVERYTHING!
[]Evil Giraffes. (Thank you Mr. Izzard...)
[]Well...everything, really!
[]Write in your own answer here -> __________________

In general, I think that this elljay...
[]sucks
[]sucks
[]sucks really bad
[]is the best thing since sliced bread
[]rocks like Kat on geetar hero
[]something in between
[]needs more zombies

Calliopes are...
[]Awesome
[]Really awesome
[]Just about the most underappreciated instrument of all time

I will post more questions if I think of them.

There are such things as fun in the world, yesterday was probably not it.

Minor (that's a lie) panic attack and breakdown. And by minor, I mean lasted for something like an hour and a half? Hum

No, the bad part lasted about an hour, then being held by Ksatyr which helped like anything in making me feel safe, then went to Kung-fu for an hour and worked and lost track of life and managed to get myself mostly stable.

Didn't hit catharsispoint (The point where I can tell I'm no longer having a breakdown) until well after I got home, probably not until eight thirty or nine. Found it somewhere in the middle of reading the first chapter of Arrows of the Queen to Ksatyr. So yeah, woo catharsis. :p

***

So yeah. Forcing myself into a mask is good, because it does help calm me down. Going somewhere where I'm forced to do things with my body is good because that both tires me out and refocuses me. Books are good because they continue to be a way to escape, and one I'm unlikely to ever lose.

Breaking down is not so good. What can I say, I'm a fucked up individual, and it's taking me a long time to learn how to fix that. I need to be better at communicating to people (though some things just can't be said in words, especially not in text) and I need to figure out a way to get myself to the point where I can show weakness.

Which, it's really odd to realize, but I really do have serious difficulty with showing weakness of any sort, but especially mental. Call it pride, call it hiding, but I have to be strong for the world, and I need to teach myself that that's not really true.

Pretend that made sense. See above note about being fucked up.

As for right now, I'm okay. I'm masked myself into normality, laughing at Uncyclopedias version of Zork with Becky and generally enjoying life like I normally do.

Underneathe it all, I feel reeeeeeeeally drained though.

Woof. Bells. See yas

Spent the day at the farm, enjoying the fact that the camera I got for christmas has a whopping sixteen MB of space on its memory card.

Sixteen. Megs.

That translates to 44(ish) pictures at 1280 x 960 pixels each in standard quality, whatever that means. I could turn the size down to 600 by something pixels, but see, I don't want to.

I need a bigger memory card.

BUT AT ANY RATE!

I took this quite excellent picture of myself, wearing the totally sexy rainbow hat that Whymydiddle gave me for Holiday. THANK YOU!

Well...shit.

I just...figured out something reasonably important about myself.

...okay, we're being honest here. A painful and different thing for me, I know.

Its something pretty damn important about myself.

I've known for some time that I don't trust people real well. Probably a good lot of you know that as well --I've certainly bitched about it in some form or another, and if I haven't bitched here, it only means I never posted those rants. But last night, somewhere in between getting lost and getting home, I put it all together, and I think I finally have a pretty comprehensive picture of why.

I don't trust people, because I am dead scared of people leaving me. Or being taken away from me, is probably the slightly more accurate description. This *certainly* fits all but one (two?) of the crushes/relationships I've had in the past...oh...I was gonna just let it be from ninth grade, but then I let myself think back farther, and it reaches to at least fifth.


Reasons, bitching, evidence, history:

Friends )



boys (and girls) )



Moving )



<s>Daddy's Girl</s> )



And one for the future... )


So yeah. There you go. Sor, in a nutshell. A crazy, paranoid, fucked up nutshell.

But at least I've figured out WHY I'm crazy. At least I can figure out someway to do something about it.

Have a good day.
