Same here. And you are my hero.

Just coming up on 3 months since quitting, after smoking for 23 years.

Oh hell no. This was the tampon case I used all the time, until my hysterectomy.

This wins the “express it without words” award of the month. Seriously.

My husband sent me goth-blue roses long distance when we were first dating. Of course, they were dead when they got to me, which is exactly the point.

It’s gonna be hard to top Ceremonials for me. I think that will forever be my favourite album of hers.

I’d rather read this.

There are SO MANY bands—I can’t keep up, either. But I like their sound, and yes, this video is great. =D

You’re very welcome! I happen to like a lot of visual kei music and I had seen this video before (plus I’m a bat fanatic), so I knew the provenance.

I went to 3 out of 4 possible proms; 1990 (my senior year) we skipped because it was a lock-down and that shit is lame.

It’s from the video for the song “Leech”, by The GazettE.

Thanks for that video—I was totally unaware of that series. Going to check them all out, now.

It always works for me, too. =D

Really, this is all I can see.

Very old joke:

I have arthritis and knee problems, and I haven’t been able to wear heels for the last decade. If somebody told me that I had to wear heels, I would stab them in the eye with a stiletto, a la “Single White Female”.

I have translucent goth skin, and I always use my parasol/umbrella when I’m out. I’m making it a thing all by myself. =)
