Sleep, emo-in-eyeliner, rec

My sleeping issues seem to have sorted themselves somewhat - I am still tired as fuck but at least I can get up in the morning. Yay for mornings. Especially now that they have fixed my shower and I have actual hot water. So much yay for hot showers.

In other news, I have recently purchased two albums of both Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance. I have also purchased some eyeliner, hair gel, and three pairs of skinny jeans. I fear these events are not unrelated. *hangs head in shame* I should be too old for this shit.

Especially since I am not a boy, and therefore wearing eyeliner doesn't quite have the same subversive queer panache. Also, it makes me look like an underaged prostitute, or possibly Avril Lavigne, neither of which is a look I wish to cultivate. Although this might be because I'm just rubbish at putting on make up.

Anyway, I'm far too old to try to look trendy - how can I look down on undergraduates if I can't call them shallow and maintain a superior stance through dress code? - but there is just something about pretty boys in eyeliner that makes me aspirational. Wah.

Okay, enough self-indulgent whining - I draw the line at actually behaving emo. Here's a fic rec, and look ma, it's HP! Apparently I am still reading it. And oh, there should be Adventures this weekend.

Their last Christmas at Hogwarts, with a lovely slow pace and a delightfully happy Remus. Not to mention some somewonderfully awkward and warm sex scenes. Go read!

I must admit to being rather jealous as you know I'd totally be dressing up in skinny jeans and eyeliner if I could! So I am supporting you fully in the not being too old. Pretty boys in eyeliner...I feel like a pervy old woman most of the time, but just, yes. :)

I've seen your eyeliner - I'm still in awe of it three months later. No one does green like you, baby!

But yes, boys in eyeliner. Mostly I feel smug (well, okay, mostly smug is my default position) because I have the look them boys are aspiring to. Even if it isn't that transgressive on me. But skinny arse and underaged prostitute look I can do. ;)
