Filthy Vixtorians 2012 - Live Journal Up! (and a slight bitch)

We now have an LJ! A grand total of fuck all is posted there, so it's up to you guys to post your shit!

Filthy Victorians 2012 LJ

It is open to every and all, no account needed (although anon posts will be regulated just to filter trollin' and spam). Needing some admins and such, so jump on over.

For now, though, I'm going to go to sleep. It hasn't been a good day, really, and I got threatened by my friend's brother. It was hilarious. He pulled the whole "freak, hallowe'en is over" insult (and threatened to "bash my face in", which is - and this is the great part, you'll love this - illegal). My heart is fucking broken, man.

The funny thing is, he had the nerve to call me a freak, when his facebook photo is of him wearing a ladies' blouse and cutoff skinny jeans. He also has a feminine haircut. When you start calling a goth a freak, you should probably look in the mirror first, dear.

Now, I'm not saying it's wrong to dress like that. I'm saying it's off from the cultural norm. You know...like the goth subculture. Nice one, bucko. Nice one.

I Hate Attention Whores - Rageful 200th Post

This may sound hypocritical coming from a blogger (what with a blog being the socially acceptable form of masturbation), but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about using depression to get sympathy, and it seems only fitting that my 200th post on this blog is a rage post, with some Harry Potter jokes in.

So here's the particular incident that is fulling my anger at this. I'm not just "raeg". I am legitimately furious about this twisted thing. Ctrl+click on them to view separately them if they distend your screen or just sort of "what" at you.

for some reason my name-editing did not work on the last guy.
let's ignore that.

BUT THEN

Seriously, by about here I have no fucking clue what is happening.

Now, here's the thing - Channy is my age. She's 16/17. Clearly, the world WILL END if someone does not like her. My responses were big-ish, so I will simply quote them here.

"So you posted a status pretending you were dead and then going BUT WAIT is fucking stupid and sort of, you know, sick. If you're going through a "tough time with friends", realise what is causing it and then either stop what you are doing or, and here's the tricky part, realise those people are cunts anyway and move the fuck on with your life. Like a reasonable young adult."

"Here's the thing, sunshine - one of my best friends killed herself this year, and none of us knew until after her funeral had taken place, and to this day we do not know why, or what even happened. The fact you are using suicide as a way to say "I have a desperate need for attention that cannot be filled through legitimate means" is sick, and you are an idiot and a twisted fucker if you think that's okay. Your world is not going to end because of "friend issues" in *highschool* for christ's sake.

You are desperate for validation, and so you post about this kind of shit. "Like if you care about me"? Really? Do you know what really drives people away? Desperation.

And now a helpful interlude from Heather, a girl younger than you with actual legit mental illness, who has made attempts on her own life due to the severity of her illness. "That's fucking stupid and you should tell her she's an insensitive idiot who should be deserted by everyone for taking emotional advantage of people who are supposed to be her friends.""

If you are having a problem - an actual, real problem - this is exactly what you do not do. You need to get help, not post bullshit on social networking sites - especially where your parents can see. (I want to point out this is probably why Channy has not responded - she has been found out by her kind-of-an-arse-but-well-meaning-father and quite-lovely-but-needs-a-spine mother) It's a terrible idea, and you can't expect things to get better when you are actively doing things to ruin them.

After Chinchilla took her own life, I felt like I had lost a part of myself. She was one of my best friends on the planet, and a bigger influence on me than you can ever imagine. The fact that this girl is using suicide to gain sympathy for her upper-middle-class white girl problems makes me so angry that I feel sick. She decides it's acceptable to draw attention to herself like this, saying she's SOOO ALOOOONE and begging for people's attention while her family have enough food and money for the rest of their suburb to live on for weeks. She has two expensive laptops, a flat screen TV in her room bigger than the one in our lounge room, a PS3, an iPhone, an Xbox, three-hundred-dollar collectable dolls, and no worries for her future, and yet she threatens suicide because of highschool friend problems.

When I was younger, I had some very severe mental problems. I had severe and psychotic depression, post-traumatic stress, was a victim of horrible bullying, and my aspergers was undiagnosed. I pulled some of this shit myself (we all do at some point), but less "lyk dis status if u car abut me" and more "Something is very wrong. Can someone please, please help me?" and people did. Once my trauma began to die down, I found it a lot easier to get on with shit and do what needed doing. No, I'm not perfect, and there are things I do wrong, but I don't beg for attention like an abandoned spaniel because my group of friends at school were sort of dicks.

If you have a problem, fix it. Otherwise, don't complain when things turn to shit.

Much love.
(ps: creating the Filthy Victorians LJ tonight. will facebook, twitter and blog the link when it is done) 

Still Damn Hiatus (+new poll)

I AM STILL ALIVE. I am sorry for all my bad-bloggerness. As it turns out, my computer commited suicide. Between Mr. Growlithe and new kittens, I haven't had much of a chance to blog. I should get back to schedule soon enough, but for now, new poll time.

Old poll results:

Where are you from?
UK: 14
West Europe: 12
East Europe: 6
USA: 29
Canada: 1
Australasia: 8
Gallifrey: 11.


Clearly not everyone voted, but thanks to those who did and good to know there are other Time Lords out there!


New poll is this: What's your favourite cosmetics brand? Feel free to comment on this post letting me know why, or what brand isn't listed that you love. Shaun's computer doesn't have bluetooth, so this post cannot be ended with a picture of kittuns.


However, they all have names now: Beetlejuice, Sybil, Cheery, and Visit-the-Ungodly-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets (Washpot, for short). Pictures soon, much love!

Everything Goes Wrong. Again.

So, my computer did not survive being dropped. I have to take it to get fixed tomorrow. I have my sister's computer but it's in pretty bad shape!

I will return on Wednesday, if not for a post of kitten pictures while I am at Heather's, but if my computer is easily fixed, I should be back to regular blagging by then. I shall receive an Mr. Growlithe soon. Hooray!

For now, have this amazing clip.

And also this, of everyone's favourite cat, Maru.

Quick Swatcheroo!

So I got my Morgana Minerals stuff on Friday when I came home. I'll post some more pictures and a proper review and what I've been up to when my internet stops being shit. Probably on Wednesday. Here are some quick pictures. My initial thought is that it's all amazing, and you should pop out and buy some. I also got a foundation (after i'd spent $55 on Illamasqua...) and lipgloss. I'm not a lipgloss person, but this one was called "fangtastic" so i bought it. No pictures though. Because it's in the bathroom and I am not.

Top: Lipstick, "Love Lies Bleeding", "Licorice"
Bottom: Lip Balm, "Hathor", "Countess Bathory"

Liptsick tube!

Me in the black lipstick.
Sitting on bed watchming movies=occasion for black lips.

 More coming in the next few days!

Lipstick is $12 US, and lip blam is $7 US.

Website here, enjoy the fabulous adorable gothery.

Lil Bit O' This And That - Outfit/Makeup Post

So this evening, I took a train and tram out to Fitzroy, to a place called Libation, to watch Growlithe's ex girlfriend Jess play with another girl whose name I shamefully forget, but have met before at an Occupy protest. (Everyone got really confused when I mentioned that Jess used to date my boyfriend, and I was there to see her. I'm not quite sure why being friends with his ex is such a weird thing.)

Jess' mum Jo was there too. Jo is awesome. She is also scared of daleks - a wise fear.

Anyway, I went sort of Sweeney Todd and Lillian Low inspired. If you don't know who Lillian is, well, she's an awesome. That should narrow it down. Anyway, here goes.

 The Crap I Wore On My Face:

-Missha Perfect Cover #13

-My New $55 Illamasqua pressed powder in PF005 (recommend it to anyone! I walked through the rain to get home, and aside from where my glasses were, it was still in place!)

-Manic Panic red eyeshadow as blush

-Nabi blush in "Lilac" (It's not lilac. It's pink.)

-Manic Panic gel liner

-Manic Panic Raven eyeshadow

-Cheapo Brand liquid liner

-Manic Panic lipstic in "Vampire Red".

My makeup stayed in place regardless of how goddamn hot I got. And I got very, very hot! Rain+train+people=lotsofheat. But I'd like to think that the windows fogged up because I got on the tram.

I think the staying power of my makeup was largely due to the Illamasqua. I will review it at length later, but right now, buy it. Buy it from their online store here, since it's fucking expensive in Australia ($35 online, $55 in store, but I was desperate for powder).

If you can afford it, in any case, get the hell out of it.

Onto the outfit.

As far as you need to be concerned, my face
never happened in this pic.

 -My ever-faithful Lovechild Boudoir skirt, pinned up at the front. I have decided I love this look.

-Blouse, by Anna House (which is a cheapo Loli brand. It was $15 from the Lolita shop in Fitzroy)

-Stockings are Leg Avenue

-Bloomers (unseen) are Gallery, of course!

-Corset is Gallery

-Crow jacket nicked from my sister.

And although I have no photographic evidence, I wore my Doc Martens.

I loved this outfit so goddamn hard. I felt so...tall. I'm not sure why. All together, it was a Lillian Low meets Sweeney Todd feel, at least to me. Screw your opinions, guise, it's all about how I feeeeeel.

 As you guise know, whenever I tease my hair it is a war to get it back to normal. Here's the "omg home" pic, and the "back to normal" pic.

 And a good night was had by all!

Mini-Post - Do You Like Nice Undies?

I know I do. Here's an awesome website that sells vintage reproduction underwear. Shop away.

Cat Pictures From Home

So, I'm kind of back! Hooray!

My sister sent me photos of the cats in the last few days, which is the best kind of care package. She got the kittens out from where they were stashed under my bed, and here are the little puddingtrolls.

AW

And also extra pics of Cullycats.

"We are not amused."

Hopefully this complies with Xanthy's Successful Blogging Tips.

I will get photos of house and housemates up soon. Am heading home on Friday for the boycats and my stuff before Growlithe and I shuffle on in here to our home. Heading out to a friend's gig tonight in Fitzroy, if anyone wants to come.

Bit Of A Hiatus

I'm alive, don't worry. If you're wondering what the fuck I've been up to this last week, I've been with the Green Fairy. We have been endlessly amusing one another, don't you worry about that! I am sort of stranded in melbourne, and should be moving into a new house quite soon, will update you all soon!


Just a quick post after catching up on blogs, stalking the Ultimate Goth Guide (and leaving painfully long comments) and before a good ol' sleep. I probably have a lot of typos in my comments tonight, since Fairy and I went and bought some awesomely tacky horror movies and somehow made it through a bottle of sprite and a bottle of fanta (and half a bottle of vodka) in two days. 8>


Much love. If you need me or have any questions, email me with the contact form over ~~~> yonder. I will receive it nearly immediately and will respond. Facebook ( facebook.com/suddenly.cats ) and twitter (@19thCKitty) are also a good way to get in contact with me quick.


Photos of my time here in Melbourne coming soon.


Hiatus:on
Cat:out!
