Hot for Heroin Sheik
Current mood: curious
So, I was watching Saturday Night Live this past weekend and the band was My Chemical Romance, and they get on and start jamming and I don't know if you know, but the lead singer has this short, white haircut going on, and dark heroin addict eyes - somewhat similar to Joaquin Phoenix eyes, all dark and twisty, right?
So, I know the dark eyes is probably just makeup but I found it kinda hot. He's not even manly, he's sort of boyish and even quasi-feminine and perhaps even looks ill. But still... he was kinda hot. Why is that hot? Why?
Is it the eye-makeup thing? Cause I'm pretty hot for Ewan MacGregor and Johnny Depp when they're wearing eyeliner, but that's obvious hot.
Is it that I'm really into dead things like Halloween and skull heads?
Is anybody else hot for this kid?

Wedding Gift Etiquette
Current mood: confused
I loved my wedding, we had fun, our guests were great. Afterward we did the sorting of things and found that some people who came did not even extend the courtesy of a card.
I don't need your money, but a gesture of a card would be nice, ok? So, I thought this was weird, and asked other married people but they too, had several guests who came with nothing for the couple. Personally, I would never attend a wedding without a gift for the couple, it's just rude. So, I looked up some etiquette for all you folks and here's the scoop.
"Contrary to popular belief, there is no calculable amount of money each person attending a wedding should spend on a wedding gift. It is not the amount of money spent on the reception divided by the number of guests. A gift should be a token of affection, and is not intended to pay for the wedding. However, to not send a gift altogether is in poor taste. A wedding invitation carries with it an obligation to send a gift, even if you cannot attend the actual wedding. Depending on your relationship with the couple, the gift can be small, or something more substantial."
And Emily Post, wedding etiquette queen:
If you are invited to the ceremony and/or reception, you should send a gift, whether you are attending or not. Generally, gifts are sent to the bride in advance of the wedding. In some localities, gifts are brought to the reception and placed on a special table.
Now, I don't want anything, but for crap sake's when you people attend weddings in the future, bring a gift!

Love ya all.

Tent-scapades
Current mood: curious
So, this past weekend I go white water rafting in West Virginia, which was pretty kick ass - even though you are sore after and scared during it. It is still kick ass. So it rained the last night we were there, and we are camping so it is MUDDY. The tent is muddy, the cooler, everything, so hell with it, we put the tent in a garbage bag and drag it all home. I set the tent up on my back deck all nice and pretty and hose it off to let it dry. So I get home from work yesterday to put the tent away.. and no tent.
The cooler is there, the tent rain flap is there, the string I used to tie the tent to the deck is there, cause it was a little breezy. No tent. I walk all over the backyard confused and ... well confused. Where does a tent go? Who steals a tent? I'm calling people, "have you seen my tent?"
Until... I walk out the front door and see, my tent, way the hell over in my neighbors front yard, facing me, as if to taunt me.
HOW in all blazes of glory did my tent go from being tied up on my back porch, all the way around the house, around the fence, around my neighbors car, across his driveway to plant itself facing me all nice and pretty? And what the hell did it do to get the poles all scratched to hell? Did it roll over the roof? I called my neighbor to tell him my tent came over to play and he said I had the wrong number, I assured him that I did not and my tent really was in his yard.
Some serious supernatural tent-scapades going on here... I suspect the cat.
