...It's time for a change...
I honestly don't know what I was waiting for. A sign from above...? A winged messenger to appear before me, reciting verses of the New Order...? A giant black hole to swallow up my past and force me to start over...? Obviously, none of the aforementioned events have occurred.
So, it is up to me to decide when I begin again. It seems as though this is the beginning, and therefore the end. I feel as though I ought to be saying goodbye, but it's not as though I won't see you all again. In fact, I'll probably make an entry seconds after I end this one. ...but it seems so... final
...Of course, we need to remember that an end is also a beginning. The end of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) purisumu is also the beginning of giri_choko: please add me to your lists, as you can be sure I'll add you! This journal has seen me through quite a number of changes, and has recorded quite a number of milestones in my life that I am grateful for record of: these posts will be added to my new journal under "memories"... but that stage of my life has come to an end...
...and this is it. There is no more to say here... I leave you now, with a line that seems to have provided the theme for this entire journal for quite a while. Thank you all for your time, support, love, and comments, and I hope to see you all in my new journal...

Dear me, how wonderful it is to be back! I was convinced that sun would be the death of me... the major discovery of the weekend is that I'm luminously pale. I swear to the Highest Powers, I glow. They forced me into a bathing suit and made me go swimming the first day, which was when I realized that my skin reflects the sunlight in blinding white, and simply will not tan! Granted, I was doing everything in my power not to... even in the hundred degree weather, I walked around in my typical attire plus five towels over my head and shoulders to block any stray UV rays.
Last night after dinner, some drunken woman on the porch of the restaurant approached my father, slurring some sort of comment to the effect of, "Wow! You got so~ much sun... and she's all [*insert random demonstrative gesticulation here*] white." o.o;; Yes, I'm strikingly pale. The tour was wonderful: I'll likely elaborate more on that later... I really didn't have that much time to shop, but hey! All the more money for me to spend next week! ^.^;;
Today being Father's Day, we really haven't celebrated... this entire weekend was for him, so he can't complain. Now then, I'm off to get reacquainted with my dearly missed belongings, as well as my small dog...

I need to stop and buy batteries for my camera and CD player before I leave... which should be any moment. I've been working all morning, and now I'm exhausted... Amazing! Two cups of coffee aren't nearly enough for a morning like this...
I'll try to have a good time, though it seems today is going to be a complete and total bore... Hopefully, we'll hit Victorian Cape May tomorrow and perhaps the boardwalk in Wildwood...? *hopeful*
I doubt I'll be using this journal much longer... sometime next week, I'll very likely switch to the other. That was random, I know... anyway... best be off!
...I'm really going now!... ^.^;;

It seems the day has been quite short, though that could have been due to the fact that I didn't get started with my daily routine until two or so. It was probably three until I even got dressed, though I blame lack of clean laundry for that... I took the opportunity to enjoy the conveniances of home before trip, laying around, reading... though, this weekend doesn't sound so dreadful. Mum arranged for a walking tour of Cape May's more infamous haunted grounds, and I'll have an opportunity to do some much-needed shopping. ...I'm still not happy about where we're staying, however...
We took the dogs to the vet today, as well. O~h, my! Such a hypocrondriac my little dog is! All the did was take blood, and he held his arm up for an hour! After the tech clipped his nails, he refused to look at her... my poor dog! He's acting as though nothing has happened now, though.
There's probably quite a bit to do, so I'd best be off... perhaps I'll have time for one more entry before I go...
( ...always time for another quiz... )

One those good news/bad news situations...
Good News:
I'm not going to Virginia this week. My father had to let someone go yesterday, so he's vaguely shorthanded, and needs to keep a close eye on business. We're still going away, but only over the weekend, and to Cape May. While I loathe camping, I adore Cape May, so things cancel each other out...
Bad News:
They made scheduled a trip to Virginia Fourth of July Weekend. I'm highly distressed about that, of course, because it's only going to be warmer and more intolerable. When I expressed my distaste, Mum said that if I can find another place to stay, she won't argue with me. ...So I'm praying I'll find that other place to stay, because I'd sooner hang myself than go to Virginia. ^.^;;
...now, then, off to therapy...

Damn it... "Girls, I need all four hands on deck... easily an hour and a half to two hours of your time." >.<;; We all know what this means...: Menthe is going to be engaged in hard, manual labour for the remainder of the evening. Has it occurred to them yet that I don't want anything to do with this bloody trip...?
...not that I should be complaining about my day... Cheryl came this morning and announced my computer "has serious issues," and is beyond hope, but I had a lovely conversation with Z this morning into this afternoon on the phone. It's so rare that I speak with her on the phone, being that I'm always afraid to call her at a bad time... Then again, there are very few people I'm not afraid to call at a bad time. o.o;; However, during our conversation, my phone rang and I ran to the window to see Mozzi and Ana. They had rollerbladed here with Chris...Leoni, is it? so they sat on my front steps for a while. I felt badly not being able to invite them in, but I figured my dogs would eat them... It's so~~ hot outside. >.<;; I'm serious, I was only out there for however long they visited, and I feel like I just came out of a God damned sauna. x.X
Oh! I'm wearing a lobster. ^_______^ While looking for chalk in the garage (to outline Mozzi as one might do a corpse at a crime scene), I stumbled across a small, red lobster pin, which I decided to pin to my chest . "Lobster cleavage," Chris said... o.o;; granted, the tiny crimson creature does draw quite a bit of attention to that area, but... A~nywa~y!
I should probably put that Mum-time in now, so I can enjoy myself later. I'm insanely grateful for the air conditioner now that I've been outside...

Two days until I'm dragged away ... two days. x.X *clings* Don'tmakemego, don'tmakemego! Ple~ase, don't make me go! >.<;; I refuse to leave without a fight, but I've faught so many times over this that it's rather useless at this point. I'm going to be out of my mind with boredom and frustration! ..and the worst part is probably the costume they'll feel compelled to stick me in, to dress me up in things I'd normally burn to a crisp before I would even consider wearing. I'm going to end up absolutely insane before I come back ... okay, more insane. x.X
I should probably be grateful that it's only for four nights, that I won't be dragged there for too long as I was last time... and hopefully, I can manage to convince them to leave me home during their next trips: they can torture me once, but I refuse to be subjected to this cruel and unusual punishment a second time in the same summer.
Mum's goal of the day is to pack and prepare. ... Of course, this only serves to depress me, thinking of my impending doom. Hope has a doctor's appointment at two, which would likely be my only opportunity to get out of the house, but I think I'd rather spend that time watching horror movies, or on the phone, or playing with icons which I'll never be able to produce... infinitely more fun that sitting in the parkinglot of a doctor's office. -.-;;
On another note, I love my tiny dog. Who else wakes me up so affectionately? He's the only one I enjoy being awakened by... at home, at least.
Now, then, I should probably begin readying myself for my absolutely pointless day...

Fairy Fore - Virgin (in my head) |

Very little beats that undeniably clean feeling one gets just after a shower.. my head hurts slightly, but I refuse to allow that to ruin my serenity.
Suzannah is still here, and rather distressed right now... her mother ought to get her soon, if she cares an ounce for that child. We took her to the mall, which was quite an experience; she truly is adorable! If not for the fact that I'm so blindingly pale, people may have taken us for relatives... I'd write more about the mall, but I have all I can do to bring myself to form words at the moment.. I'm waiting for Mum to get off the phone. ...and not that anyone cares, but...

T.M. Revolution - Just Say Fuck No |

...Nya... the infant fell asleep, so we have to wait now. x.X My mother stood me in front of the mirror and said, "...I know you don't see what I see, but look: there's a very pretty girl--" (yeah, right, Mother -.-;; ) "--wearing very dark glasses... I know you can't help those, being photophobic, but then you wear globs of make-up; your hair is hanging in your face... no one can see who's in there!"
"...They don't need to..."
"Then what's the point of the make-up...?"
"... I know it's there."
With this, she sighed, and seeing she wouldn't win, surrendered and walked down the hall. _._;;

Suzannah is here, and Mum is all ready past her limits. Her solution is the mall (which I find postively amazing), if only to wheel the child around in a stroller for a while... I was hoping to wash my hair beforehand, because I cannot do anything with it in its current state, but if she's this anxious to get out...
Oh, I might add that I had a particularly strange dream last night... it was... twisted, to say the least. Simply because I'm not sure how strong your stomachs are, I won't get into it. I found the whole rather amusing, but I know a handful of you may find it beyond disturbing. ..but I will say... go watch Hannibal: the Master looked suspiciously like Mason...
Okay, I need to finish my hair and make-up before I leave, so I should probably get started on that...

Now, then... let's see if Menthe can explain the concept of dressing in drag to someone who neither grasps the purpose, nor the English language...
I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich... o.o;; I feel like I'm back in elementary school. This peanut butter tastes vaguely like coffee, though... I probably shouldn't be eating this, being that I had enough crap for breakfast, but... if I absolutely must eat, crap tastes better than healthy food.
Okay, I'm positively addicted to text messaging... ^.^;; It's... kind of pathetic, but I live for these things. Text me...! Anyone and everyone with a cell phone! ^____^
*falls over laughing* Okay, I'm off to watch/listen to the files D is quizzing me on tomorrow... o.o;;

Oh, fuck.... Yes, I'm too lazy at the moment to repost that in my own journal, so it's linked to Jennifer's... sorry about that, Jennifer! ^.^;;
Anyway, I just got back from brunch... I didn't realize it would be such an amazingly nice restaurant! --and why are European men so chivalrous? The waiters may not have been any sort of eye candy, but their manners were seductive enough... I was absolutely entranced by the owner's (?) hands: they were rather small, but thick, with short fingers weighed down futher with a number of gold rings. Every so often, he'd wring them together which only enhanced that air of thickness... I wanted to lay my hand flat against his to compare the length and breadth of them.
I suppose I have a slight hand fetish... I'm always staring at people's hands. There's something very attractive about a person's hands... I'd say, after the hair and eyes, it's the first thing I notice on a person.
...but enough about my strange little fetishes... I have an idea for my new journal, so I'm off to look through pictures. Mayhaps I'll have something by tomorrow..

...not what I want to do when I spent the evening violently ill...
I had a dream that I was buhlemic... it wasn't a bad dream, either.
There were no stockings this morning, so I cut the top off a pair of tights and followed Mozzi's recipe for homemade garters. ...if only I had an extra pin; the little gold one keeps coming unfastened. Not that I care... masochist that I can be...

Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby (don't ask... -.-;; ) |
] |
I've seen more spiders today than I have in months... this morning, Hope dragged me over to "rescue" her from a particularly large one atop the table (I ended up slipping the entire box it was on into the plants so it could run along its own way), and another popped up while I was watering the geraniums right now... However, the most impressive was the one who had built its web above the hose on the side of the house. You see, it appeared to be no more than a tangle of cobwebs and leaves until I accidentally sprayed some of the water into the air, and the leaf came to life... it rushed along, feeling along the web until it found a dry spot, at which point it folded its legs tightly together and hung itself from the gossamer threads delicately... I'd have never seen it had I not watched it disguise itself! I was highly amazed...
I'd have taken pictures, KamiKami, but my camera is dead... it died while I was photographing an intricately woven web this morning, which I'll upload and post as soon as I get more batteries. --I hope they turn out! The web was so soft and fine and delicate that I wonder if I caught it in the image...
Anyway, I'm going to lay down now. My room is so warm, and it smells like dog... my windows are open, but they aren't helping with the temperature. -.-;; Ah, well...
