Antigonish

 

 

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish he’d go away...

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away

"Inspired by reports of a ghost of a man roaming the stairs of a haunted house in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada,^[1] the poem was originally part of a play called The Psyco-ed which Mearns had written for an English class at Harvard University about 1899.^[2] In 1910, Mearns put on the play with the Plays and Players, an amateur theatrical group and, on 27 March 1922, newspaper columnist FPA printed the poem in "The Conning Tower", his column in the New York World."

OOTD & a Day in the Life of Corpsie

to continue this huge post spree (I'm sick of studying for the moment... since 10 a.m c'mon...)

 

 

me and my dearest went out for a little walk after school, and granted, we don't have te best time managment skills (me being the winner on this subject) we actually had a really lovely time walking around lisbon's downtown. of course this type of activities often, if not always, remind me of my dear Suspy, wich, as stated previously, is living for a while in Österreich...

...I do miss her.

 

we went to Carbono, a vinyl store that also sells books, Cd's and T-shirt of bands.

 

*me feeling very refreshed since a long time*

Outfit of the day
*shrug - H&M / necklace - Second hand / strapless jumpsuit - Bershka / thights - dollar store / platform shoes - Demonia*
 

after that we took the subway to lisbon's downtown but not before me taking a picture of the most gorgeous girl I saw on the park that day...

 

*isn't she handsome?*

 

of course, once downtown we had to stop on the Game of Thrones exhibition on the subway, because my dearest is reading the books and my sister ask everyone she could to take her some pictures of it.

I have to say the entire thing was a bit dissapointing, and not much up to part with the big name the tv series has. but, nevertheless here are some pics:

 

 

 

 

and of course I had to sit on the throne... wich was not all that exciting for me since I never started watching the series for a number of reasons...

now I'm finally finishing the first season and I couldn't be more addicted to it!! I have to admit I get up to date with things always too damn late, and this time was no exception.

but on the other hand it kind of makes me feel good, as if the current fads have no effect on me and I only begin to be a part of something if I really feel the inclination for it.

 

 

no makeup, poor hair styling... it really shows just how tired I've been.
let's hope it's just a phase I'm going through and maybe I'll get my energy back.

and since it was just a few days away for me to have my birthday, my sweet mother gave me some spare change for me to go out to dinner, and this time... there were no vouchers.

happy times.

and god knows I need more of those...
I've been having some private issues and the time I have with my boyfriend and friends is extra special to me.
but there's always those moments where strenght fails and all I want is just to be alone in the quiet.

friends are there to give you help.
but there are things that not even friends can help...

everyone has different ways to deal with things.
I guess my way is more on the self analisys.

I should get back to my studying... I think I just had a 2 hour coffee break and didn't even realise it.

hugs to all and a very special Hello to all my new Youtube subs.
videos will be out soon, I hope.

the Long Hard road out of Black

many of you may ask... why?

why did I decide to change my snow white-like looks for the blonde locks.

the answer is simple:

 

I know I can pull it off once it's done.

I just got tired of having the same hair color for so long, literally years.

one thing that I've realised was the amount of people that really believe in order to be a proper goth you need to use raven hair.

 

nothing could be farther from the truth.

 

there are many beautiful goths that with blonde hair would look even more stunning for a number of reasons; their skin color, eye color, and overall aspect and face fisionomy.

why should we follow the raven as a sole path?

 

my gothling friends,

there are other hair colors that seldomly get used in our subculture. and many times that comes from previous prejudice.

but we don't follow prejudice like most people, actually we oppose to it, right?

 

so why cast out blonde as a color just for the vain and preppy?

and porn stars...? (just kidding)

 

we don't follow prejudice.

we destroy it.

 

*blonde in progess*

 

*and a funny picture where my face looks idiot just because*

 

a BIG hug for my fellow goth ghouls!

upDate & romanTic views...

long time no see, am I right?

after a troublesome, nerve racking computer issues, I just decided to make my post on another computer until my main one is off its blues...

 

so, much has happened!

I turned 25, and had a couple of lovely parties, I went trift shopping, had romantic dinners with my sweetest, saw expositions, and changed dramatically my hair color.

now the trouble is:

how to put you guys up to date with all of this?

 

I'm foreseeing an intense blogging spree...

wich is also a good change of air, since I've been studying like crazy these last days (and still am) so, I guess these blogging sprees will be my coffee break from the horrors of spanish book's analisis, fonetics & morphology projects, and syntaxe tests...!

let us be as chronologically has we can, so... my valentines dinner with my dearest:

 

because we are poor translation students we often work out the best deals possible, and for our romantic dinner we bought a voucher especially for the occasion, wich allowed us to enjoy a really expensive dinner for about 12€ each, drinks not included.

 

 

we went to a quaint little restaurant that served the best portuguese delicacies and I just fell in love with place, the decor and dimmed lighting...

 

 

these were the starters:

boiled quail eggs, raw cod fish with chikpea, octopus salad, goat cheese in olive oil, dry-cured black boar ham, cow cheese slices, black olives, and bread from Alentejo (portuguese region)

 

kind of makes me proud of being portuguese when I look back at these delicious dishes.

at least we have good food.

carrying on...

 

 

 this was part of our main course:

pataniscas de bacalhau (deep fried battered cod fish), peixinhos da horta (deep fried battered bell peppers), sauteed mushrooms, and an assortment of farinheiras (potuguese smoked sausage) and choriços (portuguese pork sausage, fermented or grilled).

 

to more on these delicious foods, wikipedia has a fair to decent descriptions available.

 

 

 after that we went to my dearest's house where we had more wine, with ice cream and watched some horror movies.

the perfect romantic evening.

 

I know this is extremely late but...

happy valentines day to all the ghouls out here!

 

xoxo

 

 

guy I'm sorry for not posting in a while, but unfortunately I haven't been able to post photos.

I really don't know if it's a problem with my computer or the blog itself.

and I really don't know that much about computers and stuff, so it's been really hard for me to fix this.

I don't know anything about plugins, cookies, etcetera...

I tried the best I can with the little knowledge I have... so until I find someone to help me with this I guess I'm stranded with no posts.

but just in case someone knows what's going on:

every time I try to upload a photo, the uploading never really happens. everything just looks okay, with the square of the photo still with no image, waiting to fully upload, but the uploading bar never starts. 

I'm not missing the upload button, nothing.

it just seems to stop at that.

then... it send me a stupid message saying the script has stopped.

sorry guys.

xoxo
