I'm going to...

...take a little Blog vacation. Seems the time for that has come. So yeah, I hope all my Blogger friends won't completely forget about me...;)...and who knows maybe I won't be gone for long...but I guess only time will tell, as they say. I will miss you ALL...& I'm sure I'll be peeking at your Blog posts every now & then still. Take care!

XoX~Your friend, Eve


^_^

Hm....

...wondering if I should completely switch my Blog over to Tumblr. I mean I have really LOVED it here....and making new friends over (almost) the past two years has been SO great. But hm, things seem just a bit more easier at Tumblr. Anyone got one? And if so do they like it better than Blogger? I'm having a hard time deciding because in all honesty, I don't know if I want to continue on here. And jeez, even at Tumblr I have this feeling I wouldn't be posting much. Maybe I'm finally feeling BLOGGED out....hm. Decisions decisions...and oh yeah opinions opinions PLEASE. ;)

Just saying HI plus a new idea for my blog

(did not take the above pic,

but beautiful, wow!)

Hi friends. How is everyone doing? I'm alright. As most of you know by now, I haven't been blogging very regularly...and I do miss it here. BUT another place has been sucking my time...yes, you all know it...dun dun dun....FACEBOOK. It's like mini-blogging in a way...ergh, well, you know what I mean.





So I still LOVE my blog with all my heart and don't want to DITCH it completely, so I had an idea the other day. And although I know it's completely up to me, I wondered about your thoughts...and even suggestions perhaps. Well, first let me say my computer is lacking a place for memory cards from cameras....so I am without photos at the moment. Which has been hard...on the FaceBook if you know what I mean.





OK, so here's my idea. I was thinking of turning Through Eve's Looking-Glass primarily into my own personal ART blog. Hm.....so what do you think? I have a feeling that it won't always be about ART though. So think about it...sound like a good idea?





You see, I do a lot of posts/pic stuff on FaceBook of my art already...and I think people don't care so much at times....so I figured maybe I could do a lot of the "showing" of it here. I'm not sure if I would stop showing it there either...but for sure I want to make THIS blog more so about my art and all that stuff (maybe process work...if you've seen my one album on FB you know what I mean).





I just don't want to leave BLOGGER because I do love my blog and this way (doing it about art) may be easier for me to document things. What I mean by that is it would be easier for me to remember things...cuz my memory sucks...and writing things down (like exactly when I was part of a show....or went to an art show)...so yeah, I think it just might work.





And if YOU have any suggestions to what you'd like to see/know with this new (but old!) blog, PLEASE let me know. I love that all you have been so supportive of me and my art and I can't thank you enough. You guys are some of the best BLOGGY friends a girl could have!





Alright, gotta split but would love to know your thoughts, suggestions, etc.... I really thought about this and it seems to make sense...and like I said I don't think I will be writing about ART 100% of the time...so that's why I would like you to TELL me what else you'd like to see on this blog...though I can't promise anything...please keep in mind. OK, time to go.....I miss you all but most of y'all I speak to on FaceBook from time to time...but still BLOGGER is how me met, and I'm grateful for that.





Ciao friends!~

Goodbye to...

...FaceBook & Twitter. I deleted both of my accounts there over the past few days. WOO HOOOO, the freedom, ha ha!!! Let's see, I have a MySpace, I visit Hello Kitty Junkies once in a while, I have my art on display at 723.com, I have way toooo many email accounts (but I have just ONE I mostly use), I have 3 Blogs, and I may be opening an Etsy shop soon. So too much is just wayyyy too much these days!

I really only did FaceBook because 2 of my closest friends were like "It's better than MySpace, you'll love it...we'll keep in touch...bla bla blahhh." Well, one, Jennylee, who insisted that I keep it, is on but not much...or atleast when I'm on. Then my other close friend has NEVER been on...atleast we've never chatted through it. So what's the point!?? And most the people who were my 'friends' on FaceBook were mostly people from high school that I really didn't want to chat to TO begin with.

Then Twitter. Oh TWITTER, what IS your point? I have to say I honestly did it out of curiosity AND because it's the only thing like a MySpace or FaceBook or whatever...that is NOT blocked at my work. So I would just write random stuff on there and see what my 'friends' were saying too. But I think Twitter is one of the most pointless things...EVER. The more friends, the worse! Great you are in your living room...lovely you are at the bar....how exciting you are waiting in line! I just don't get it!!! My one friend, who's a guy, thinks it's the greatest thing ever. I didn't even question him because I despise it so much. And I was just thinking Oh, I just don't want to get into it!...Since he was thinking it was SO AWESOME for some reason that I just could not comprehend.

I just don't understand how anyone (from bands to artists to us regular folks) can & do have soooo many 'online homes.' Guess what my FAVORITE online home is? Hm.........

Well, it's HERE (on Blogger) of course!

I LOVE it here and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. YOU guys are my peeps! ^_^ I love to write...to share...to meet new people...chat with my fellow followers/blog authors...to find out about NEW things/things I never knew existed or paid much attention to before (through others postings)...etc...etc...etc... So WHY should I open a bazillion accounts to maybe get the chance the chat with a couple of friends when I can simply pick up the phone & call them? Or email 'em...but I prefer calling them honestly......can you tell why???....cuz my emails are a bit long, yikes! :)

I really just like MySpace for updates on 2 things-some of my fave bands & some of my fave artists. It keeps me up to date with CD releases and concerts and also when artists have new art/toys coming out. Otherwise I prob wouldn't use it.

So really what more do people need with several different online places!?! And to be writing the same exact thing on each site-MS, FB, Twitter. Example: my sister will write "I'm at work, I am having a bad day...etc...," (or something like that) on ALL these things. I'm just thinking "OK, what the hell!? What is the point of these things?!"

OK, rant almost over. Just got a question...

Your feelings on all the MySpaces...FaceBooks....LiveJournals...and ugh, Twitters??? Good or making us robots???....who can't even call or worse go & visit your family & friends! Isn't it a dirty shame!??~

Heads Up!

I bet you guys know what this pic means...well, maybe you do by now. (Think I've used it once or twice now.) If you can't tell (which I'm sure you can), this pic means I'm a bit frustrated (stressing) at the moment.

So now I'll give you all the first heads up...and the first stressing thing going on. And that is although I prefer to respond to some of the comments you all leave me via my email, I'm going to have to stop that. :( It's actually getting a bit hard, so from NOW on I'll be responding directly on the comment page with the rest of you. I know it's hard (especially if you follow several blogs) to keep track but it's what I got to do right now. So please know I'm sorry in advance. BUT I will continue to use my gothiclolita@innocent.com address for all Blogger purposes (that will probably always remain on my profile and in the corner of this page). If you're a blogging friend that I regularly chat with, I am still using my Yahoo addy...that's not going to change.

Another stressing thing. Since you asked Dracenea, and since it's true, yeah things have been a bit stressful figuring out how my boyfriend will get to work every day since his dad no longer works with him. (My boyfriend does not drive or own a license.) And I have sleeping issues (I take medication for insomnia) so it's very hard for me to get up & be alert at the time he needs to be taken there. I did it today but we're thinking about other options. Guess we'll see what happens. *If you'd like to read more about that kinda stuff (cuz I wrote about Mike not driving & his dad losing his job, etc...), it's over at my other blog found HERE. Also, please visit there to see a post I wrote yesterday about my Bestest Blogging Friends and an award I gave 'em. That was one of my most special posts to have ever written! :)

Alright, last thing. I have a busy day tomorrow so I'm not going to be able to do my new photo-story game called In "Other" Words. So if you have participated, or would like to participate (please see previous In "Other" Words posts), I just need ya to save it for next week, k?!? Thanks so much. Also with not doing my new game please know that I may not (I always say may because sometimes I go back on my word) be posting as much this week...on all 3 blogs. But like I said, I'll see how it goes.

I hope you're all doing well and be chatting with you later.
X's & O's to ya~

Why I may be MIA a bit...

Hi friends. Just wanted to give you a heads up. I may not be on here too TOO much (Looking-Glass & FTLOGoth) because I'm concentrating on my new blog A Black and Blue Sky, which I just started last week. It's the blog I always wanted to make but was never very sure if I wanted to get TOO personal, imo. It's more of my personal thoughts/views as well as how my life is living with bipolar disorder. So ALL of you are invited to follow of course. Just wanted to give you all a FYI if I'm not blogging here as much as I have in the past. Take care & have a lovely Tuesday. I'm off to work so adios for now!

Sunday Stealing: Looking-Glass Interview, sorta....:)

Hi friends. I decided to participate in this week's Sunday Stealing. I really liked this one for a couple of reasons. 1-This may be the only time I'm "interviewed" about my blog so why not take advantage of that. 2-I think people who read my blog are actually curious to what my answers are. I say this because I was curious about the answers my fellow bloggers gave too. So I encourage you to take a lil' time to answer these really good questions about you & your blog. Why not give yourself some well deserved credit??! And today marks my 250th post on here so it seemed right. I hope you play along too! ^_^


1. How did you come up with your blog title OR what does it mean?
My blog, Through Eve's Looking-Glass, was inspired by the books/films Alice in Wonderland & also Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. What it means is that I try to get people to see my world a bit...through this blog aka: through my looking-glass (mirror).

2. What are your general goals for blogging?
To share topics that I find interesting, get people curious, to express myself, and to involve people as much as possible. I really do try to think of how others can relate and not just make it all about me-me-ME!

3. Do people “in your real life” know that you blog and do they comment on your blog OR is it largely anonymous?
Yes, most people in my 'real life' know that I blog but those people either don't read it/comment and that's perfectly fine because I tell them these things anyways. :) So yes, it's largely anonymous, and I like that because I feel like I have more freedom.

How often do you post (x per week)?
Well, at the moment I have 3 different blogs so I couldn't tell you exactly. In the beginning (for this blog), I was posting A LOT daily but I think I toned it down a bit and I'm glad I did. I didn't realize I was burning myself out.

4. How often do you read other blogs (x per week)?
I try to read all of the blogs I follow daily. Exceptions are if I'm gone from the house for the whole day....or part of the day (work, etc...) and then I usually catch up when I get back.

5. How do you select blogs to read (do you prefer blogs that focus on certain topics or do you choose by tone or…?)
I typically like blogs that focus on a certain topic (have a theme). But if the material/writer is interesting or I can relate to him/her I'll probably follow their blog regardless of a theme.

6. Do you have any plans to copy your blog entries in any other format, 0r do you think that one day, you’ll just delete it all?
Hm...haven't thought about that. I wouldn't like to delete it ALL! Do you know how much blood, sweat, and tears went into this?!! I'm waiting for that big ol' book offer...ha ha.

7. What are the things you like best about blogging?
Expressing myself, sharing, being name-dropped by other blogs (ha ha), and meeting new friends/fellow cool blog writers.

8. What are the things you don’t like about blogging?
Hm.....honestly, when I write a post that means a lot to me & no one comments. :( Makes me feel like "Did I say/do something wrong?" Of course all my posts mean something to me but the ones I put that extra 'something' into are the ones I'm referring to.

9. How do you handle comments?
I LOVE comments. Makes me feel like someone truly cares about what I say, & it makes blogging more special to me. As far as good/bad comments go, I'm lucky and most my comments are good/supportive. When the comments are a lil' weird, I usually try to understand their intention...or I just brush it off. I moderate my comments right now because I want to make sure I read each & every one of 'em. I try to respond to all the ones if they give me support/an idea/point of view/etc... I'm lucky right now & don't have a billion followers so it's pretty easy to handle.

10. Do you have any burning thoughts to share on blog etiquette?
Yes, I hate to say these things but I want to say my opinion. PLEASE don't post one big paragraph. My eyes take one glance & I'm like "I don't wanna read that!" because I feel like your eyes need a break & I can't remember where I left off sometimes. AND please use www.dictionary.com if you're unsure of spelling/meaning because things can get confusing. Oh & if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all of course. ^_^

11. Any desired blog features?
Hm.......(confused by this question) Um, I like to do polls to see what kind of readers I have...

12. Have you suffered blog addiction?
I'm still suffering from it...after 4 months of blogging...but I think I'm getting a bit better day by day!

Thank you for playing this week on Sunday Stealing! Please leave a comment or link when you have posted. Feel free to stop back and visit other player’s posts. Have a great week. See you next Sunday!

Flowers=Spring & My Brand New Blog

Even though it's still a bit cold in Detroit (and they say it's gonna snow this weekend too), it must be spring because some flowers have sprung in our backyard. We used to have a rose bush but it was a disaster (Mike's grandpa didn't take care of it well before we moved in), so we cut it down. Don't hate us...we just didn't know what to do! (And I suck as a gardener!) So seeing these flowers make me smile and think that the nice weather isn't too far off.

Off subject, I started a new blog. No, not my goth one. This one is called A Black and Blue Sky and will be done in a much different style than this blog or goth blog. It's about my much more personal thoughts/writings (as if you can't get enough here, right?)...as well as about living with a mental illness. I'm trying it out and so far so good. I've only written a couple posts but I think it's what I was aiming for. If you're curious/interested in this blog, please let me know. I have it set to "invited people" only so if you'd like to give me your e-mail, I'll let you see my deepest darkest secrets...well, not really but you know what I mean, right!??

Oh, and I heard I am having some problems with comments you are leaving here. Something about the music player freezing things. Please e-mail me if this happens to you because I will get rid of it if I can't see your lovely comments of course! (FYI: I removed the players off each blog, so things should go ok now. Let me know if they don't though. I don't see why things wouldn't but I just wanna make sure!)

So if you'd like to check out my new blog please e-mail me OR if you're experiencing "technical difficulties" with either of my blogs please e-mail me also. I would greatly appreciate that. My e-mail addy is gothiclolita@innocent.com & please put EVE in the subject line. Thanks & have a great weekend everyone!

Following & Followers....Hm...

Hello curious readers. I've just been thinking about something lately. And that is following other blogs. In the beginning, I didn't follow too many because I couldn't find that many who had my kinda interests. Then a little after I started my goth blog, I gained more followers, and found out about a bunch of blogs more suited to my tastes. But I was doing something else along the way too (with both blogs), and that was once someone started to follow me, I usually ended up following them. But before long, I had WAY too many blogs to keep track of (for me), and did some "spring cleaning" as my blogging friend Dracenea called it.

So I stopped following certain blogs mainly because I realized I can't relate to 'em anymore or even worse-never really related to these blogs to begin with. I don't think it's because I'm being very picky, it's just that if I can't relate, I simply can't relate, ya know? And by leaving these certain blogs, some stopped following me too. Which I guess is understandable, but I didn't do it to hurt their feelings. I just don't want to be a 'follower' if I'm either not reading your posts or have no interest in 'em.

Now I'd like to discuss something else & that is...current followers of both of my blogs. I find it interesting that some peeps that follow me, have never EVER left one comment. And I know this goes on with some of my fellow Blogger friends too. A bit bizarre, ya think? I only know this at this time because I have less than 30 followers on each blog, so it's easy to keep track right now. I kinda wanna say..."are you REALLY following me?"

Also, I am quite amazed by peeps who follow lots & lots of blogs...and again my definition of A LOT of blogs could be very different than yours. I think things also depend on how often the person blogs or more importantly the quality of the blog posts. I've followed peeps who write 5+ posts a day but the quality is sometimes not as good as someone elses once-a-week-posting. I don't know...it's a complex thing. I look back at some of my postings and say "Why did I need to post about that?!?" But I guess it meant something to me at that time.

Hm, so I what I think is the best thing to do when deciding whether or not to follow someone is to read a good amount of their posts (if possible, it they're new it's a bit harder) & ask yourself "Is this really my type of blog?" I've been doing that lately & it helps. I do this a lot when someone starts following me. Because I usally take a look at their blog out of curiosity, but if it's not something I can relate to, I won't follow because I'd be cheating that person...right?!?

Thoughts...suggestions...whatever you'd like to say in regards to these topics???...because as you probably know, I'm always curious. ^_^

Passionate Blogger Award Given To...

Hi everyone. I was recently given this awesome award by Diane @ Good Mourning, Glory! and it basically means that she thinks I'm a passionate blogger. Sweet! This may not be the coolest looking award but this award means more to me than any past one I've received because I do feel like I have lots of passion for this blog. And so with that I thank Diane very much, greatly appreciated. Now, I have to pass it along to a few people whom I think are passionate bloggers too. I chose these 3 people because they have LOTS of passion & dedication to their blogs. (Drum Roll)

I bestow this award to:

Ghoul Friday @ My Ghoul Friday
~This lady puts a lot of time, effort, and passion into her spooky, cool, & very informative blog AND it shows.

Mr. Macabre @ Mr. Macabre's Hallowe'en Cerebrations
~He is very dedicated to his intersting blog and I read all of his blog posts...because they keep my attention & are very interesting.
(Not saying I don't read your blogs peeps but I skim them sometimes honestly...Eve has a bad attention span!)

Sullivan @ The Life & Travels of Sullivan McPig
~Sullivan & his owner are very passionate about their unique blog. Sullivan's owner was even so brave to go up to a famous author and ask for a picture of him holding Sullivan for their blog. Now that's passion!

Please check out these very wonderful & passionate blogs!~

Don't Trust Me Anymore ;}

Over a week back, I said I'd be easing up on the blogging. Yeah, don't ever trust what I say anymore...I think I wrote 15 posts here this week, didn't even count my Goth blog posts. Yikes. I'm a walking, talking (blogging) contradiction. Honestly, I just had that ol' urge to write, & the roomie thing is not moving very quickly. :( But this is what I have done: I've been looking for NOW HIRING signs while I'm out, checking the internet for jobs, I've filled out a couple applications, and I asked for more hours at work. And luckily I'm getting some (isn't enough to NOT need a new roomie, but I think it's atleast something). :) My new schedule starts next week. I'll just be going in a couple hours earlier a couple of days. So, that'll mean less blogging...I think. Again, don't trust me. ;}

The main thing now is: we gotta get our basement in order so it looks nice enough so we can rent it out. Unfortunately, the two friends Mike & I thought would be our best "bets" can't/don't want to move in, so the next step (aka: project basement) is lingering above our heads. Unfortunately, Mike isn't moving very quickly on the situation. He gets very irritated when I tell him we NEED to get his friend over here to help us install plumbing in the bathroom down there...and just to get our basement in order (storage is mainly down there & my art space). So I haven't said too much about it for the past couple of weeks. Plus he was sick all last week so I knew he wouldn't get going on it then. BUT it just feels like time is running out. Joe said he'd be leaving in April or mid-April & that's almost here-where does the time go-so I'm feeling a lil' panicked. It's just my nature.

So again, wish me luck. I just think it's odd that I'm really taking this seriously and Mike is kinda like "Whatever." Very odd. I want to remain living with him and Bibi and would do anything to keep it that way forever. But in the end, the house is in his name so if he wants to lose the house, it's really his issue to deal with. I can only say & do so much. Of course, I don't want to move back home but I'm beginning to see that might not be the end of the world afterall. Just one day at a time, right?

Enjoy your weekend everyone! X's & O's to you for your support & for being the bestest followers around.~

I'm SOOO Glad...

...there isn't a "Online Now" thing (like how it is on MySpace & Facebook) for Blogger. I have "logged" so many hours here, it's out of control! I should get an award for that, ya think?!! Although is that a good or bad award to get?!? Hm...curiouser & curiouser...

Oh BIG hooray, just got a new follower-that always makes my day! O.K. off to watch Battlestar soon...and yes Jennylee, I am a geek but so are YOU...ha ha. ;}

~Update & 12:45 am (Saturday): I finally made a "things to blog about" folder on this computer...only took 3 months for me to do it! But honestly, I do pretty well with not having to dig for info most the times. Well, a lot is about me (as you prob know by now), so not much to dig there. And um...Diane, I WANT my award!....j/k....I'm just curious as always.

By the way...& I love reading cool blogs too!

Future of Blogging

My fellow blogging bud, Boyd over at Boyd's World did a post the other day that really got me thinking. And that topic was the future of blogging. It makes me curious for many reasons. For one, am I still going to be doing this blog in say 5 years? I can imagine so but what if I get bored...run out of topics...simply don't want to do it, etc...??? Sometimes I feel like I can write about 10 things a day but will that feeling last...as time goes by? I know you should definitely live in the PRESENT no matter what but again, I can't help but to be curious about what the future holds for blogging.

Another thing is most the peeps who either follow me or if I'm following them, started their blogs roughly around the same time as mine (mine began in early December). We're all kinda in the same boat right now...and most of us don't have over 25 followers. So that brings up another question, what happens when I get 100 followers...or something crazy like 1,000 (if I should be so lucky!)??? What would I be feeling then? Will I feel more pressure to write better & to keep 'em interested? Would it feel more like work than fun at that point? (Will "they" soon be knocking at my door offering me the BIG BUCKS to keep up my blog...or cut me a book deal? Heck yes, I'd do it, wouldn't you?!! Ha ha.)

Something interesting happened when I was looking for other blogs to follow...and it happened time and time again. I'd look at a person's profile, they sounded cool, I'd go to their blog, and then I'd notice they haven't posted anything in YEARS. And again, their blog looked completely awesome. I can't help but to wonder why they quit Blogger? It's a bit sad...so will peeps be sad if I ever left? Would I be sad if I quit it? Curious Eve...

But at this point, I feel very dedicated to my two blogs-yes my other one is HERE. I feel like I've needed this kinda outlet for a while. I quit keeping a journal so this helped bring "it" back to life in a way. Also, I'm VERY glad to have met such awesome people so far in my blogging adventures. Almost everyone I've come across on Blogger seem like they're fun, positive, creative, and supportive peeps. Hm, I used to think 'what was I doing before I joined MySpace?'...then 'what was I doing before Hello Kitty Junkies?'...and now I think 'what was I REALLY doing before I started my 2 blogs!!??'

This may sound odd but when I found out that there'd be a possibility that I'd be moving back home one of the 1st things I thought to myself was "What about my Blogs?!!" I said this because my parents' computer is the slowest/worst computer I've ever been on & I definitely wouldn't want to use it. Ugh, it's so sucky. Also because it's out in the open (dining room) where HERE I can have some privacy in separate room, close the door, & be alone with my thoughts. And I need that when I'm blogging-I usually listen to music but it's not distracting most times. Plus I do so many other online things from paying my bills, checking bank accouts, buying crap, browsing, using MS, FB, & HKJ, checking my few e-mail addys, etc...THAT I know I'd definitely buy my own computer if I went back to their house. Ultimately because I've discovered that I truly love writing & sharing things and there's no stopping me now! ^_^

BUT back to the future of blogging. Does it make you curious what the future holds for us bloggers? I mean what could be the next BIG thing that we'd all say "Let's go do this & forget blogging!" I think it's great that people are connecting through the written word...yes it's on a computer but people are reading, therefore followers are smart & blog authors are smarter-just kidding! But you know what I mean. Please let me know your thoughts/opinions on anything I touched on above or something I didn't say that makes you curious. Because again, I'm curious. My name is & always will be Eve "Curious" Noir. ^_^

Take care friends & have a lovely Wednesday. It's my day off so I'm sure I'll be on/off throughout the day.~

I may be MIA for a lil' bit

Hey friends. Happy Monday to you all. Hope your week goes well. Just writing to say my postings may not be on such a "regular" basis over the next few weeks. I've been having some "living situation" issues and I need to concentrate on that above anything else for the time being. I'm sure I'll post from time to time (well, I am a blogger junkie afterall!)...just probably not so frequently on either this blog or my goth blog. If anything, this will (hopefully) get some of you to go back (3 months time) & read some of my previous posts-that would rule! Trust me, I'd love to write so I wouldn't feel such frustration & uncertainty at this time BUT I have to put this situation first. It means everything to me...because I don't want to move back to my parents' house. I love living with Mike & our doggie, Bibi, & I don't want that to change. This is NOT a relationship problem...it's a matter of getting a new roomie ASAP. So wish me luck!!! (Also: If you're a peep I email with, the same thing applies. It might take me a lil' while to get back to you. I think you'll understand.) I'll be bloggin' at ya later. ^_^
Your curious friend, Eve

Lazy Thursday & Lydia

Ugh, today's one of those days were I feel so lazy. I'm due into work at 4pm but I'd really like to skip today. Mainly because I stayed up really late last night writing something on the Despair Blogger. I just felt very compelled too. But I kinda regret it because I feel so dead now. So I wrote something...& I felt like it wouldn't "fit" here or on my goth blog either. So I put it there. It's a story about "Lydia" but I think you may know who Lydia really is. Ever feel better writing about something personal in the third person? Well, that's how I felt yesterday. If you're curious about my late night post you can find it HERE. Hope you all have a good day. Oh, and today is my last day of the work week so YAY!

Sorry People...

...but for some odd reason I can't leave comments on some of your pages, and I have no idea why. I was on Blogger until about 3:45 PM, then went to work, and came on here around 10:30 PM and now something isn't right. I don't know if someone here messed around with something or what. Ugh, p!sses me off! I've been on Blogger for about 2 months now, and this has never happened so I am confused. I turned off the computer (when all else fails, I restart the computer!) and came back & still nothing.

So if I don't leave you any comments anytime soon, you NOW know why. I am still reading your posts! I just hope it doesn't last long because I really don't know what to do. Ugh...:(

*And I just tried uploading pics, and that was acting weird. So as a new label for this & future posts I just ask Why Why Why???

My mind must be off cuz i didn't even give this a name...

ughhhhhh! the pic you are seeing above is my list of things i want to write about between BOTH my Looking-Glass and For the Love of Goth blogs. and right now, i don't feel like doing anything. mainly because i just woke up. well, basically i didn't get moving til about noon, if you consider moving going on here & eating breakfast. hm, since sunday night, i haven't slept too great which always throws things off. i don't know exactly why i feel so crappy. maybe it's this crazy weather (cuz my body is a lil' achey) or just the fact that i've been going to sleep pretty late & then getting up early. and it's finally wearing me down now...and since i'm not due into work til 4 pm today, i just layed down catching up on 'missing time.' and Bibi felt the same, or didn't want to bother me...cuz she just layed there with me too. :)

soooo, if you don't hear from me soon, you know i made the decision to take a bit of a break. i mean this place ain't do or die, so things can wait of course. and YOU know i love writing but gotta get feeling back to norm by doing some more norm things, ya know? actually yesterday was nice cuz i wasn't online too much. i had an appointment at 1 pm, and then a lil' bit after that i went out to meet my friend for dinner (and shopped before that, that'll be my next Eve's Red Bag)...and didn't get home til after 9 pm. so i was actually doing 'normal' things which is good.

oh, and mike & i got movies to watch too before next tuesday (BB Total Access you're killing me some days!). and those include: zack & miri, nick & nora, and i'm getting an Alice film i've never seen in the mail from Total Access. yeah, i put down like 4-5 Alice films in my Queue on Total Access...but most of 'em are "short or long" wait. want to see some other Alice films...but for 'research' of course! no, just because...

(oh & Jenny I took your advice & i'm getting both Alice & Looking-Glass on Audio Books, woo hoo!)

well, i should go but i hope you all have a lovely day and if i don't talk to you soon, you now know why. oh, and tonight is new episodes of The Office & Kath & Kim (gotta tape both of those), so make sure to watch those. take care everyone.~

One Quick Note: my poll closes in 2 days. so if you haven't voted yet, please do. think Alice is the #1 pick right now. thanks!

Oh to be in sunny California some days...

just found something out. great news for peeps living in california (LA to be exact) but sucky for peeps like me in good ol' isolated michigan. and i don't think there's a way to get my hands on one of these either. not to mention what else is going on there. Soldier aka: Heidi, please go there & get me one! no, but c'mon Mark, leave your state sometime. see why THIS makes me cry (well, not cry but do this >_<)!!! i mean he IS my fave artist EVER. (and this michigan weather is terrible-cold cold & COLD! i need to feel what warm weather is like again.)

wow, peeps really liked Anarchy by KMFDM. i was actually very surprised. i'm so happy you guys enjoyed it! and SKOLD rules...had to throw that in there again!

what a day. typical monday, always a lil' crazy. so i worked for a bit and i wrote a long story inbetween helping peeps. i'm gonna post it on the Despair blogger that i just recently became a contributor for. this sad story is about an old friend and strange events leading up to her...well, that's for you to find out. i was gonna post it today but did you ever hear the old saying "Let things (you write about) sit sometimes." i really think it needs to sit a while. it didn't help that it was hard as heck for me to write an ending that satisfied me...and that could very well change again. endings are usually a b!tch for me. so yeah, it's best for it to not get posted yet. PLUS, i have no desire to sit here & type it all up right now (didn't save it to a memory stick either). it came to about 2 pages typed (but the font was at 14, so maybe it wasn't tooooo long right?!?).

i have a neurologist appointment tomorrow morning. fun stuff. i made it to hopefully get me some relief aka: medication. i been having these terrible migraines that occur about 2-3 days (in a row mind you) a month. i feel kinda nervous about going and i don't know why...just feel that way with doctors sometimes. especially new doctors & going over every little thing, ahh. i just hope he doesn't ask where the pain feels like it's coming from cuz it really feels like my whole head is about to explode. again, >_<...soooo, wish me luck peeps! been needing this appointment for a while. and BIG thanks again diane for telling about what you take. i'm gonna mention that med to him to see what he says, as well as some others i found out about.

OMG, it's a lil' past 9 pm! where does the time go?!? oh, one more thing, i got 2 new followers today-woo hoo! that brings the curious headcount to 13, my second fave number...1st is 6SIX6. NO, not 666...just 6. just wanted to write it like that. night night all. til tomorrow.~

For the Love of Goth Blog & Guy Gets Handcuffed

hey peeps. happy middle of the week! only a lil' to go before the weekend. yay! :) so what's new with everyone? me, not too much...except a couple of lil' things. i thought things couldn't get crazier at work yesterday compared to Monday but no, things got crazier! yeah, a guy got arrested about 20 feet away from me. he wasn't a student, just a creepy looking guy from the "public." nobody really knows why this happened besides he wasn't supposed to be on college grounds. we never get the full details. it was such a WEIRD night. people always say "working in a library must be boring!" but i just say "you'd be surprised what happens in there sometimes." and yesterday was a perfect example.

oh & i figured out a way to look at other Bloggers while i'm there (Blogger recently got blocked there). woo hoo! but the thing is i still can't go on to my Blogger to add/edit/accept comments...& i can't comment on other peeps posts. darn! just LOOK, yes, but that's about it...but that's cool cuz i need to catch up on my fellow friends posts sometimes. so that made me smile. :}

so why i'm really writing this. (time for the shameless name drop!) well, after some thought i decided to change my previous Blogger called Gothic Lolita Love to an all things Goth Blogger. and yes, i'll still include my love of Gothic Lolita fashion. so my Blogger is now called For the Love of Goth. that way i can dish out my darker side there...well, my last name is Noir afterall. of course THIS will still be my main blogger...and that'll be my lil' "project." :) so stop by sometime if you have a darker soul yourself...;}

OH & BTW: still need someone to break my POLL's tie. the answer shall be revealed tomorrow. thank yous!!!



o.k. i hope you all have a lovely day and hope to talk to some of you soon. take care.~
