*4 days...*

*
... till Sunday. Till 26. i have no plans, haven't shopped for new clothes, haven't scheduled a manicure or a hair cut... no expectations, no excitement. Nothing. Guess i'm not feeling very festive. Or sad. Or anything at all.
.
It's that type of minor sadness, that doesn't hurt. It doesn't let anything hurt. It just won't let you feel. The type of minor sadness that makes food tasteless, life monochrome and mute. I'm not sad.
.
But i'm not alive either.
.
26. Maybe i should get myself a better anti-age cream instead of (hopefully) spending money on a new tattoo.
.
Should i face that i am no longer a girl? But i don't feel like a woman should. Not as i thought it was, at least. Feeling like nothing is not a comfortable position.
.
And it rains... Endlessly... Enough to dampen one's spirit and turn the world into a gray blurry mess.
*
4 more days to start feeling alive.
*

*
*


*
He doesn't understand why i want a pet so badly. A puppy, a kitten, a rabbit, even a hamster. But it is that i only feel this way... this sadness... when i am alone. Around others i am always cheerful and talkative and fun... like a pet. But i am bad company to myself.
.
Even though music may keep me company, i feel very very lonely sometimes.
*

*
well, enough wining. One more "cuia" of "yerba mate", and then i am off to dance class.
.
Don't you love engrish? i mean, who eats chocolate filled cookies named "collon"?



*

*
mood: chinched
craving: beet soup
*
.
must everything be average nowadays?
.
sorry. The rain and the cold have put me into hibernation mode. Argh.
.
mood: lazy and cold
now playing: bette midler

*ennui. Also spelled photoshop.*

*
Ennui: Listlessness and dissatisfaction resulting from lack of interest; boredom.

*

*
Ennui also spells photoshop.







*

*
Friday is the day i consider my day off. The most i usually have is a meeting, and the Mister works, so its kind of my day.
.
So i woke up at midday. All sore from tap dancing in heels. And masturbated. Porn is lame and boring, and hell, masturbation sucks. i get off in two seconds and then what? i'm supposed to feel satisfied, right? Well, i don't.
.
Sex is definitely overrated. Specially masturbation. Ok, so what about food? Yeah, i had lost my appetite, right? Well, good (?) news... i'm back to binge-eating. So i threw my pink battery-operated lil' friend to the side and popped in a whole packet of cookies instead. Ahem, wrong cavity dudes... Goddamn you pervs.
.
In also went a packet of Toppo (like Pocky but manlier) and i'm about to gobble down a big bowl of Chinese instant noodles. And i have no idea what flavor it is because it has no romanji on it. Then i'll probably spend the rest of the day poking my love bumps and feeling bad about it. At least i haven't gone back to laxatives. That part of overeating is nasty.
.
Well, it's my day off. But the place is chaotic and i had vowed to get things into place today. Ahem. Liar.
*

*
This weekend is the Chinese New Year celebration. Year of the Earth Rat. The year of the Metal Pig was good, hope this one goes well too. I should have made up a Fruits Basket cosplay in celebration, but i have a Bulma one i'm dying to wear.
.
Oh, yeah... Anime event this weekend too. i really want to go!!! As Bulma obviously. The Man really wanted me to make Him a cosplay this time, but on a one weeks notice amidst all this mess and having a total of 0 experience sewing masculine clothes, that spelled impossible. i would need at least a month for such a project.
.
Hope to hit this expo soon.
*

*
So, i guess i'm waiting for my b-day to break me out of this cycle. The Sunday after this one. February 3rd. i really should get myself a new tattoo... Something special. Dunno.
.
i also wanted to party. Lots of candy and drinks. But i don't know about that either.
.
There has to be a good side to this. I mean, if you expect nothing, anything goes, right?
.
Wrong.
.
Guess that on one's b-day its ok to be an attention hog. So if anyone wants to make my day just let me know. No wish lists crap, most stuff doesn't deliver to Brazil anyway. (i wish my SG stuff would arrive soon too).
.
time:



*

*
Maybe i'll face the world after this bowl of noodles. Or maybe i'll go get drunk. Or both. Yes, definitely a hot shower, Betty Hutton and a cherry martini will do.

*

*
Mood: ennui.
Now playing: nothing. Guess that is the problem.


"And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it. There's really only one expression to express it. I want some huggin' and some squeezin' and some muggin' and some teasin' and some leapin' and some chasin' and some weepin' and some pacin' and some stuff, I want some stuff like that there."

Betty Hutton - Some stuff like that there


*

*
P.s.: Seems i'll have a party after all. Next fetish ball on Feb. 2nd. Which means a hungover b-day and possibly afterhour parties. Hope that turns out a private party for two and a hot tub. Yay!
*
edit:
boo for: playing with Dragon and Tiger Balm on/near one's genitals. i mean, alone. Why won't He come home soon. Ouch...

*life or something like it*

*
the past few days had good and bad moments. i believe that's called life. Or at least something like it.
.
i had a girls day out on Friday and bought cute things. He took me out for dinner.
He gave me an early b-day gift on Saturday. i love my new toy.
the best part is being able to read anywhere anytime.
my Saturday afternoon students haven't been going to class. So i was bored to death.
We went out with friends on Saturday night. Was fun.
Its good to have a friend again. Even if i'm not so good at keeping friends. My social network skills suck in the real world.

Sunday morning was not nice. i'm starting to fear and hate Sunday mornings.
Sunday was a lazy day after that. A lot of food. And silly pictures.

Feeling fat? i wonder why...
Say hello to Tommy.
AIL. alcohol induced laugh.
Just to make sure the alcohol gets to the brain.

i worked hard on Monday. Worked out, cleaned. And then went to work. At night He came and made a mess going through the mess room, so i let go. i have to go through my fabrics anyway.
Yesterday... dunno. Started going through my sewing supplies, then work and some shopping. i have new tap shoes now. 8 cm heels and taps on patent leather. What's not to love? My jazz teacher is trying to kill us, and my body aches. MacDonalds and funny faces for dinner. Losing a piercing, having Him put the captive ring in. Midnight sex.
.
That has been it. i got up real late today. i really want to work out more and put things into place but the past week has been only gray and chilly, and i need sunshine and heat. Really. And i'm afraid my left nipple is rejecting the ring again. The pain is unbearable.
.
Gotta do my homework and go to class. Then work. i want to cook tonight. i really do. But He hasn't been much in the mood for home cooking. Damn, excuses.
.
26 is almost here. Scary.
*
Mood: numbed
Now playing: Bowling for Soup.

*could i have the check, please?*

*
So that i can pay and get the hell out of this rut i have fallen into this year?!
.
Yeah, i know. Astrological hell and all that shit. Its supposed to get better by next month when i have my (gasps) ... birthday. Ok, ok. 26th birthday. But who wants to wait two more weeks for their life to get back on tracks? Not me, definitely.
.
What do i mean? i mean, my body is giving out on me. i'm sick in most of the body parts that can be the most painful. Argh, no no names. Plus i got this awful voice that makes me think of an 11 year old boy going through puberty. i urgently need a detox diet. And some cleansing of the blood.
.
Not to mention that some assholes probably thought it was fun to through a lump of wet cement from god knows what floor of some building under construction right into my cleavage. i could swear a pterodactyl had shit on me. Assholes.
.
Well, my jazz and tap dance teacher certainly finished the job. Today is one of those days that just won't happen without a pain killer.
.
Which goes well with the pain in my shoulders from sleeping with my hands binded behind my back. Guess pain must be the latest fashion for summer.
*

*
Isn't life a beauty?
*
i'm going shopping with a friend this afternoon. i really don't know how much $ i have right now, but quite frankly, today, i don't care.
*
i bought the loveliest dress yesterday for an incredible bargain. Maybe i'll let ya'll see it sometime soon.
*

*
i really want my muse back.
*
i need to buy more fake plastic pearls (not mad anymore, just sad about it still, really). And other cute trinkets.
*
So hooray for being stupidly romantic. Otherwise it would be impossible to see so much beauty in the world when there is all this pain.
*
mood: sick and painful.
sign: have you seen my appetite anywhere?
now playing: matanza. Its all i've been listening to these days.

*dead end - a lot of ranting*

*

*
the fetish party hardly happened due to the lack of electricity. He freaked out at me because i was talking to this other woman instead of staying by His side, and i felt woozy because to the lack of oxygen in the environment. People really shouldn't smoke when the air conditioning isn't on in a place without windows and filled with candles.
*
then He threw my new cute fake pearl collar out the window (i hadn't even photographed it). Because is was so fragile is was useless. i'm fragile. Am i useless too? i'm still sad about it.
*
He "punished" me on Sunday morning. He will never get me to like pain if He only uses it as punishment. Wish people made more sense when it comes to conditioning one's mind.
*
We had lunch with some lifestyle friends. It was fun. We even went to their place for a drink, and i fell in love with their dog. Awwww, small dogs are so cute. Specially the terrier variety.
*
on the way home He stopped at a supermarket. He wanted me to walk barefoot. It was one of those huge air-conditioned places with cold floors. The parking lot was wet from the rain. We probably spent a couple hours there.
*
the vacation course i was so happy about? Not happening. Not enough quorum. So now i have to find a vocal trainer for myself, or wait till it happens.
*
going back to college this semester? Not happening either? The department i needed the document from in my old college will only return to work in February (goddamn those federal colleges) and the deadline to turn it in to the college i want to study in was yesterday.
*
and since Monday my nose and throat are killing me. i can even hear my doctor saying that "the worst thing for someone with chronic rhinitis and sinus such as you is walking barefoot and being exposed to cold weather". Ahem... Now i just sound like a man and can't think straight because i'm not getting enough oxygen... nose and throat are closing, am i supposed to breath through my eyes?
*
there is more, but that gives you a picture of why this week, all i've wanted to do is to stay in bed. Honest. Its the only place that feels safe and warm enough right now. Damn it.
*
Feeling a bit off? i feel dead:




*
Not to say that everything sucks, Monday night we had some great sex. Quite vanilla, but great.
.
And this is one of the most glorious and beautiful mornings lately. Too bad the rhinitis makes me sensible to the light.
*
i really need some new photos
*
now playing: nothing
mood: sick and melancholic
*
i'm about to kill the man outside with the lawn mover.

...
i've lost my appetite. And i hate that.

*Quote*

*
"An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises."
Mae West
.
Having said that let me right down the choreography again because it just flew out the window. Literally. Hey, who said you can't tap in a satin hobble dress?
.
i'd tap barefoot if i had to.
*

*
One more rehearsal. And than the final challenge before tonights performance: Finger waves.
.
Note: i haven't slept in the past 38 hours. The adrenaline and the things to do just won't let me. I wonder if i can make it to 60 hours awake. Guess not.
*

*

*

*omen*

*
Costume finished. Everything back into place. Its 4 am. Still got to dye my hair and do my nails. I go to work at 8 am. No choreography yet. i have dance class at lunch time, got to wax and do my eye brows. And hope that nasty blue string won't escape while i'm dancing.
.
But the most important things are done. Music and clothes.
.
I just never stop listening to music. Ever. Even at 4 am. Even while the sewing machine is buzzing away. So now listening to some recent acquisitions i just realized that this was the anthem of my new year's party... Now i just wonder what kind of omen is that.
.

*

*
Good night to those who get to sleep. i'm way too buzzed up on caffeine to even dream about it.
*

*Gotta dance...*

*
"If you're blue and you don't know
where to go to why don't you go
where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz..."
.
i believe this is it.
.
And still half way through the costume.
.

*

...

*
Today i woke up, once more, looking like a goddamn fish. Like every other time i've cried myself to sleep.
.
...
.
When i'm lost i turn to Him. He usually hurts me in the process, but eventually, He gets me through.
.
Obviously, i bruise easily.

*curb your enthusiasm*

*
i feel as if i've been banging face forward into a wall all week. And that damn wall is still there. Argh!
.
Ok, maybe its PMS. It will gone by tomorrow. Hopefully.
.
Was the week a waste? i mean, i had a month to find the perfect soundtrack. The party is the day after tomorrow and i've come down to two certainties and three possibilities. And only the design for a dress and knickers that i have no idea if i am capable of making. Not as they are designed, at least.
.
Blessings? My new love finally arrived. Ahem, i mean my xmas gift from the Mister... a 1034 Overlock Serger from Brother... now i have to read the manual and add cute stickers.
.
Where was i? Oh, yes, back to my bitching. Monday was chaos, Tuesday i started putting order into it, and well, wednesday was spent cleaning and scrubbing and sewing and working. So i totally deserved those two bloodymary's last night. Which leads to a slight hangover and almost being late to the dentist how the fuck don't you have white thread going to the doctor throwing away those bloody old undies and having a boring salad for lunch day. And work. Working out. And a shower. So here am i in my corset and underwear and trying really hard to edit the soundtrack for Saturday. i thought i had the answer. But i spent an hour working on it and didn't like the result.
.
Second opinions please?
.
Remember, the keywords are: 1930's, decadent Hollywood glamour, jean harlow, the 18th century, fetish, the Marquis, candle light, burlesque (which won't let me leave out a pinch of satire).


.

First song: Piano Duet - Soundtrack for The Corpse Bride


Second song: A new arrival - Soundtrack for The Corpse Bride


Third song: ?!???????

- Put a lid on it - Squirrel Nut Zippers


- Satin Chic - Goldfrapp (my first choice but the end is not so good to dance to)


- Mon Cabaret - Sofia Essaldi

.
Ideas, please? i had originally considered Queen of Pain, by Devil Doll but the Mister thinks its too slow. So i'm hitting that wall face forward again. Not that anyone cares about the music as much as i do, but i'm the one dancing so i have to have my motivation... i just don't know what my gimmick is anymore... fetish?

.
i really should eat something. My head is killing me. And all i had all day was that boring salad.
*

*
i feel like a failure right now. One big fat fraud. That would have never made it to Minsky's. Argh... And its just so hard to over do what i did last...
.
i wish i could rebel against this need for a concept and just bump and grind and dip and strip. But i can't and this goddamn ideal has consumed me all week. Well, at least the house is clean and most of the laundry done.
*

*
mood: confused and upset. About to burst into tear actually, and not knowing if it is exhaustion from excessive housework, frustration or just PMS.
now playing: nothing, i've been listening to music non-stop for the past 4 days so i need a break to clear my head. Or better, i'll let Miss Holiday sooth me.

*procrastination*

*
Get away from me bitch!
.
At least i worked out. And i'm working through my phone calls. But having this much to do makes me very very lazy.
*

*
i haven't even unpacked yet.
.
so, how do you make a crossover between candles, jean harlow and the 18th century in burlesque?
.
that's what i have to figure out and materialize until saturday.
.
yes, its gonna be ONE of those weeks...
*

*
yesterday. Sometimes He makes me go out barefoot.




*

*
mood: sore and lazy. And fat. i gained two kg while i was away. Obviously.
