All this buttoning and unbuttoning

You see I have a horrible suspicion that Chartreuse is the kind of tipple used by vampires in Poppy Z Brite novels when they have cares to abrade (presumably immortal vampires have even more buttoning and unbuttoning to do than the rest of us)

Don't they favour byron shirts, and thus have no unbuttonign at all, except for the cuffs, failure to unbutton which would be really, really embarrassing.

Yes - PZB's vampires drink chartreuse, when they can't get their mitts on absinthe... one of 'em, in Lost Souls, spent so many years drinking chartreuse that his eyes went green too.

I'm not sure... from what I recall they dress like the beautiful doomed children of the night who dance away in the clubs in her books, i.e. Goths.

Lacing and unlacing then (except that makes it sound saucy)

Buckling and un-buckling? Zipping and unzipping? Getting-your-nipple-ring-caught-in-someone's-fishnet-top and detaching-your-nipple-ring-from-someone's-fishnet-top?

I'll probably have my French citizenship revoked (in a SWAT-type action by the snooty police) for even thinking of suggesting this, but Chartreuse is unbelievably yummy when mixed with apricot nectar. Honest. Mmmmmmm...Girly drinks.

i really don't rate poppy z brite. i read the introduction to 'swamp foetus', written by some writer bloke i can't remember the name of, and couldn't help but think, he really wants to get into her knickers, you know.

anyway, i was feeling a little bit mopey today so went to my local park and felt very honoured to have the deer sit right near me. one had new looking antlers - covered in fuzz. lovely.

for the sm types: all this [hand]cuffing and uncuffing? getting in and out of restraints can be so tiresome.

I have lots of things I could do that would probably ward off the visits by the Black Puppy (because I never get as bad as Churchill), unfortunately when it visits the first thing to go is the inclination to walk, write, watch telly, read, whatever. Drinking can sometimes work purely because the effort of getting it can kickstart me into doing something.

Perhaps the trick is to try and slow the mind down further, see if you can flip into a meditative state.

I go with Ellis!. But I don't think the bathroom thing is really the same when the whole house is yrs... It just appeals cos it's got a lock on the door and reamins a perfectly valid reason to elave everyone else to do what they're doing.

I don't have a freaky childhood reason for it, it just has a lock on the door.

Low-level mopiness? With emphasis on the low? Well, this is a completely short-term solution and it won't work for everyone but this is my suggestion: COFFEE!! AND STIMULANTS!! AND LOTS OF 'EM!! You'll still get depressed, but because you're hyper, the depression won't last as long. Moreover, it'll 1) give you the runs, which in turn will 2) give you ample time to try out Ellis' "mope it out on the toilet" theory.

bear - clissold park in stoke newington has a nice, safe area for deer to hang out in. there's a victorian aviary that i find rather depressing as it's small but i do love the finches there.

the place is well worth a visit. but not if you're going to do nasty things to the deer. that wuld be bad mm'kay?
