happy almost-Halloween!

[electricland]

Every year, I regret that my genome doesn't really lend itself to fascinating, exotic, mysterious, dark-eyed beauty. Milkmaid, yes. Viking princess, possibly. Zombie, I could handle. But no, I keep trying... so today I am a gypsy fortune-teller (it's Rob's fault).

I am wearing 8 rings, 2 bracelets, 5 necklaces and the key emjayne gave me as a going-away present. Also eyeliner. Also rather a lot of damask, gauze and lace (I think the fortune-teller may have crossed some wires with a belly-dancer somewhere along the way). Also my glasses.

Well, lots of people seem to think I look cute, which is good because I seem to be the only one dressed up...

Anyway. Step right up to get your fortune told!

I see... chocolate... in your future. Yes.

Also, typing. But fear not, twenty years from now you will have finished all your scanning!

Me! Me! Pick me! Please, tell me my fortune, Auntie ELL :)

I see a late night in your future. And beer, slightly farther away. And... there seems to be some kind of... Distraction nearby. What could that be?

[mrs-cake.livejournal.com]

hur hur hur :) Well you were right about the night and the brews! I wasn't very distracted this weekend, though *grin*

Milkmaid?

MILKMAID??!!??!

Where did you get that idea from? Hallowe'en costumes for the lactose intolerant?

Bloody-speared valkyirie seems like the most obvious choice.

Or "ex-wife" a la Mean Girls.

By the way, <a href="http://www.colbycosh.com>Colby Cosh</a> has a follow up about Mark Steyn and C. difficile (you'll have to scroll a little). I think in kinda likes Steyn, on principle, but he, and the pieces he quotes, does a decent job of unravelling the tangle of of issues.

I was putting on eyeliner last night as an experiment, and cursing. Nothing makes me look quite so peaches-and-cream bland as lots of Cleopatra makeup.

But I could give the bloody-speared valkyrie a try. Well, maybe without the blood when I'm at work, I wouldn't want to scare any kids.

Tell mine! Tell mine!

(and I agree with the monkey-man: you Valkyrie. Absolutely. No doubt.)

Remind me in time next year...

As for your fortune, my dear, the gypsy sees... beer in your future. The details are hazy, but definitely beer.

And porn.

Excuse me? Porn?!

Huh. Porn.

You should take some pics of your costume. And my fortune please.

The gypsy detects much stress in your life at present. This is muddying the future. Things appear very uncertain, both close to home and farther away. Perhaps if you drink some beer and eat some Halloween candy, things will be clearer. In any case, expect a crisis on Tuesday.

REmind me to bring my cards to Mexico. OOOH, and we can shop for the perfect cloth to wrap them in, because I haven't found what I want yet. YAY! A project!

That first paragraph gave me a much-needed chuckle. I am highly amused and love how you phrased that.

*waves hand in air* OOh! Ooh ooh!! </ Horshack>

Pick me! Read mine, please!
