Yes, I want to get some terrariums for my desk. Well, what I REALLY want is this Beetlejuice terrarium, but spending $315 + shipping is not an option.

I am filled with the urge to put my fangs on while at the office. For no reason, mind you, I don’t feel the need to go snarl at anyone. I just want to wear my fangs. ::rummages in purse::

Silly photo time! In my beloved bunny pjs (a long-ago present from my mom), with my hair tied up in rag curls. This, Snarklings, is an example of why I tell you not to worry about being Uber Goth 24/7.

Why, WHY won’t the kitties let me put little bat wings on them? It would be adorable!

Scenes from Cubeville: Beetlejuice and Bernard von Fang keeping an eye on my iced chai, with my Dead Notes list expressing my feelings about Certain Things.

Perhaps I need more tea

I’m reviewing some code, and I just read “params” as “pajamas”. Self, I know you’re tired, but really. That’s just ridiculous.

I’m pretty sure I’ve reblogged this photo before, and so what. Look at these magnificent creatures! (Also, my craving for a red crushed velvet frock coat has increased YET AGAIN.)

Self, buying wine just for the label often works out … poorly. Try to remember that.

DIY Moss Cemetery Terrarium!

DIY Moss Cemetery Terrarium!:

Here’s a DIY on some Gothic Gardening for those of us who don’t have access to proper garden space but still crave some spooky haunted greenery. Great for shaded windowsills or tables, one of these…

Oooh, I’ve been meaning to try this. And heaven knows we have enough moss for me to harvest in our backyard!

(Yes, we have a yard and I could do “proper” gardening, but I have a black thumb. Not to mention I discovered soon after we bought the house that I don’t like the “manual labor outside in the sun” aspect of gardening. Which is a shame, because I love the idea of a garden.

Time to bring this back: Disney animator Millicent Patrick’s work as sole designer of the Creature From the Black Lagoon was downplayed by a male coworker who then received credit for it for half a century.

And people say I’M dressed up when I wear a skirt and heels at my drawing table…Yay all around!

Disney animator Millicent Patrick’s work as sole designer of the Creature From the Black Lagoon was downplayed by a male coworker who then received credit for it for half a century.

And another role model for Gothiccharmschool is found.

And yes, fanboy-news-network, I now count her as a role model. She’s wonderful!

This movie was so gloriously, ridiculously campy and dumb. I kind of want to own a copy for eye candy purposes.

On October 7, 1849, Edgar Allan Poe was found, near death, on a park bench in Baltimore, Maryland. The last days of his life remain a mystery.

Pretty, pretty babies.
