You know, basically, that's about dead on.

Hmm...

I am what I am, and damned if I'm going to be damned for it.  ;)
(Yes, I have the Orthodox liturgy on my itunes.)

Describe your ex boyfriend/girlfriend:
"Wait Until Tomorrow"  Jimi Hendrix
Yeah, at some point in the future, I might have an ex to describe.

How did your last relationship end?
"I'm Happy When it Rains"  Garbage
yeah, how can non existent things become so miserable and complicated anyway?

Um, yeah, if this song actually made sense, I would comment.  But then, my family doesn't make any sense either.

So, I'm not quite sure why Technorati refuses to recognize Lost in the Underground.  Mostly this is a test post to see if it'll pick up this link.

I'm not deleting this journal, and might occasionally update, but for the most part my intraweb homes are now over at blogger.  I'm keeping this one for commenting and keeping up with useful communities.

Personal, ramdom crap is at:  dancingonfire.blogspot.com
The philosophical/theological, fledging feminist/queer theorist musings are at:  lostintheunderground.blogspot.com

I may create a separate blog for the foray into Russia or just incorporate it into the personal blog.  If I separate it, I'll post links here, there, and everywhere.  

Cheerios!  They're good with strawberries!

Okay, so working on my homework while trying to listen to Russian music doesn't work well if I can understand any of the lyrics. Because next thing I know I have my dictionary out and am looking up unfamilar words. Then taking breaks to think, damn, the lead singer is pretty.

Over the summer, my muse and I had moment that involved me stepping out of the shower one morning and promptly curling up on the bathmat waiting for a menstrual cramp to go away. I believe I muttered something to the effect of "It my uterus had any value I would sell it on the black market."  Which, as anyone who knows me knows, wouldn't happen.  As such a process would likely involve needles.

But the muse whispered in my ear: There's a story in that statement.

Having made in out of the bathroom floor to my computer, this obedient little slave of the muse hit the internet and discovered that uteri have no black market value. Rather upset at first, I soon began to consider other things characters could sell, like eggs.

But now, perhaps, I can indeed pursue the black-market uterus story!  It could be a fun sci-fiesque thing.

Although, my mind remains boggled by the trouble some of these women are going to experience pregnancy.  But to each her own.

The Mormons came to visit tonight.  Singing Christmas carols. 

Bless their hearts, they were greeted with Demetria's best "WTF?" face.  But then, I assume, that Mormon missionaries and very sweet neighbor ladies who do neighborly evangelism are used to the "I am very confused" look.

It's Christmas according to the Julian calendar.  That's just uncanny.

The Color of the Mood Ring: amused
Cats are strange creatures. My sister's cats are strange members of their strange species. They think that they are more intelligent than we are, and I think that they may indeed be right.

Rascal just knocked something off the counter in the kitchen. I walked in and asked him "Cat, what are you doing?" (Because you know they understand human language.) Rascal looks up at me as the very picture of innocence -- while licking his lips. This is also our very own "peeping tom" who like to push open the bathroom door while someone is taking a shower and sit on the bathmat waiting for you to push open the shower curtain.

Snowy is an attention whore. She likes to pretend that she couldn't care less about you, but if everyone in the house is occupied by something other than Snowy she wanders through the house meowing most piteously.  She might come crawl uninvited onto your lap, or your back, or your bed. 

Both the cats become very high at night.  Last night, Rascal amused himself by crawling into the paper bag beside my bed and then trying to eat my fingers.  I've also had him run into Fran's room and jump on me.  Snowy likes to wake people up in the morning for attention.  She starts by sniffing an arm, then rolls about in the floor on her back, and then she sits behind the head of the person in question and lovingly gnaws on their scalp.  This was more painful in the past when she had teeth.

Ah, cats.  How I want one!  Like Turtle.  Or Malenkii.  Or Turtle and Malenkii.  Who are simply the nicest cats, I've ever met.  And my grandmother wants to give them to someone anyway.

The Broken Record of the Day: Depeche Mode
I now own both Hedwig and the Angry Inch and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  (The latter was an impulse buy today.)

Teehee!

Now I need to convince A., E., and S. to have a cross-dressed/ genderfuck party.  And my life will be complete.  Perhaps not as complete as it would be if the sister's boyfriend decides that he needs to scare the potentially evangalical to a fault roommate by planning and carrying out a live cast screening of Rocky Horror -- but pretty close. 

I also now own Amadeus.  Because, really, life is all about musically inclined men in wigs.

Perhaps I could form my cult around this.
