Wild plans

Pasje said Sword & Ink would be so much easier to finish if I'd use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). All I use right now for scripts is a CSS script to colour the scrollbars, which some ancient browsers won't even show / which I've stolen from the Elfwood page and altered. I s'pose css scripts are open source webstuff right?

V&D is having a wholesale/closing down sale. And C&A has a sale as well. And I need licorish (or is it likrish?) for my throat. I'm not really falling ill, I'm just having a major cold with coughing and the likes. I mean, I've not worn anything but jeans and fleece sweaters for two weeks for crying out loud! (except for that hour when I dressed up in my pron-short skirt and top when NoKey and I tried out a new position)

I have great plans of cd's I want to buy. I neeeeeed an Acda & De Munnik cd, and I also am mostly inspired by Boudewijn de Groot.

To show you why I love these so much, here are some ( Boudewijn lyrics )

Sadly, texts as good as these are filled with play on words, and can't be properly translated. I've tried, and it takes most of the fun out of it, the rythm is all gone. Suffice to say the song is about a circus, travelling in a long parade, over the hills and through the forest, to the land of Maas and Waal (two Dutch rivers). There are a lot of impossibilities in the song (like a cocherel laying a glass egg, which when you shake it, makes it snow on the Egmond Abbey; or purple sky and brown sunshine), which make the song even more genius. All of Boudewijn's teksten are like that (not always with such impossible pun). Acda & De Munnik have similar good texts. All in all, they're very inspiring.

Malor came over last night, we watched the pictures of Dragonlair on this Linux, then ate at Burger King's while we talked about larp. We spend a lot of time laughing in line, and people looked pretty weird. One guy asked us "You really believe in that, do you?"
Hah. Ofcourse we do!

My back is doing better. Nowadays I only get backaches at the end of the day, not half way through the afternoon. Rest IS good for it.
But now I'll be heading to the V&D and the C&A to see what they have in store and for what price.

The Post-Shopping Rant or: How Shops Have Got It All Wrong

Not only do shops believe that every girl wants to wear pink or beige or ecru, but they also think we enjoy being skinny-ass skinny. As in: excuuuuse me miss, this size 32 is still too large haventya got anything smaller?
I'm not skimpy. I'm healthy - if you ignore the coughing - and I refuse to be mistaken for a skeleton (though that would do wonders at larps considering the type-casting often occurring there). It has taken me two years to acknowledge the fact that I am not a size 36 and never will be one. It has then taken me six years to accept this fact, wishing I was slimmer, or as I used to call it "less fat".
I did buy a nice cotton sweater and gouache though. And oversized sleeves must re-enter the fashion world because then I can find myself a coat with sleeves long enough for me. *sigh*

Every time I go out shopping I see windows with dolls. Pretty dolls you can dress up, just like we used to do when we were little girls. Maybe I was wrong in thinking that having dolls is not to prepare you to be a mother, but it is meant to prepare you for the fact that society wills you to be a doll, dress up and be purty.
I am happy I live in society's backalleys and -if you will- gutters, where one is not so much judged on what they wear and how they look, but more on whether you feeeeeeeeel goooooood. {Remember that, it's an important factor to life}

Secondly I'd like to point out that we are nearing December and they expect us girls to wear tanktops, single layers of cotton, and leave our bellies bare. Now I know why all those window-dolls have hard nipples. THEY'RE FUCKING FREEZING!
