The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I recently decided to take up the monumental task of organizing the nurses' supply closet at work. It's a walk-in closet chock full of gauze, specimen containers, bandages, catheters, etc and everything is just everyplace haphazardly. Well, I've had it. I cannot abide by all of this wanton chaos, especially since these are important supplies that people sometimes need in a hurry and also because I've sort of been "promoted" to supply manager. There is NO WAY I could conceivable keep track of what's in there with boxes piled on top of and in front of other boxes making it 1. impossible to see everything and 2 difficult to get at everything. So, I bought some clear plastic drawer/bins at Wal-Mart and started sorting. It's a process because Wal-Mart doesn't stock as many of these containers as I need in one go so I've been at it for almost 2 weeks now. Heaven help me, I think I'm actually ENJOYING this project. I think I must have OCD.

My boss (re: mother-in-law) spends all damn day talking about how stressed out she is and how much work there is to do. I wonder when she'll figure out there is so much work to do because all she ever does is complain about the work without actually DOING any of it.

It seems like lately all of the profiles on here i look are for people WAY younger than I. This kind of freaks me out a little. When did *I* get *OLD*?

I do believe I am the one and only gothy type person who lives in Northern New Hampshire.



....and I don't count the emos.

"gothy type"? lol Surely there are others. You just haven't looked hard enough through your bat eyes.



....not sure what that means.

I'm going to throw together a Halloween costume with what clothes I already own. It turns out that when I look over all the corsets and boots and things I can make a pretty darn good pirate outfit. I had to buy a sword frog so that I won't wind up carrying a sword around in my hand all day (that's right kids; I already own a variety of swords), but that was only like 15 USD. I MAY buy an eye patch or something just to drive home the whole pirate thing, but that ought to be relatively cheap.

I've got a pretty good pattern going of one year spending good money on a costume and the next making up something good on the cheap. Last year I had spent about 60 USD on a nice flapper outfit, but the year before that I was a murder victim which cost about $12 to put together. I bought a butcher knife which my husband fixed onto a little piece of wood. I ripped a slit into a shirt, attached the piece of wood to my torso with gauze bandage and then covered my front with fake blood. You couldn't even see the piece of wood because it was sanded smooth and I was told that I made quite a few people feel woozy just from looking at me, which is a pretty nice compliment :-) But the year before THAT I spent almost 100 USD on a sweet Kill Bill The Bride outfit that somebody had made on e-bay. It was loads better than anything you could buy commercially and it fit perfectly, too.

As much as I looooooooooooooove Halloween costumes I cannot justify spending gobs of money on it EVERY year in my brain. But this pirate outfit is going to look wicked. I KNOW IT!

...that 11 years ago when i got married my anniversary would one day be "talk like a pirate day" (Sept. 19)? Which, you know, is completely AWESOME.

Jesus Christ it's September already?? Is it just me, or does it feel as though we've hit a wrinkle in the fabric of time and it's moving a bit faster than it used to do?

I can't believe I've already been at my new job for 3 months. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to have insurance again, and all that, but WOW.

Also, I don't have a Halloween costume yet! I am so fucking screwed.
