Teach me passion, for I fear it's gone.

I have to stop buying things I don't need. ("Need" as in hunter-gatherer-essential-for-survival kind of need, as opposed to emotional need.)

I got it in different colours, and 2 colours instead of one, but yeah....

And I think it's really funny when people ask "where the heck are you going to wear that?!?", because I wear these things around the house quite frequently. 

I'm going to get locked up one of these days. It's really only a matter of time. Especially as I feel like the Madness is getting more and more difficult to hide. 


You know what really ticks me off? 

Ok so I'm a smoker. Like 3-6 ciggies a day, maybe more on weekends. And I'm a very conscientious smoker. I never smoke in front of children, people who are eating, or people who are trying to quit smoking. If I'm outside a bar or restaurant smoking, I stand away from the door and try to keep smoke away from passersby.

 But there's always those douchebags who fake cough and give you dirty looks even when they're not anywhere near you or your ciggie. Like really??


 I'm making an effort to NOT get smoke near you. So take that glare and shove it.


I'm sorry I really suck lately. I'm in a funk. An icky one. But I don't wanna talk about it, as that requires energy I just don't have. I hate that my moods revolve around my food intake. As any idiot could have predicted, my extreme restriction last week led to some epic bingeing all weekend, and quite a bit of crap today as well. I just want to dig myself a hole and go hide in it forever. 

You know how sometimes when you're already just down in a bad place and you're feeling cranky and totally fed up and then Life goes and hurls one last little insult right at your face?

(Proof, really, that not only does God exist, but that he has a sick sense of humour.)

No joke. Driving to the office this morning, there was an effing CLOWN driving off to work, or to clown school, or to go on a killing spree or something. And I know it's the ultimate cliche, but I'm pretty sure everyone old enough to watch a TV after 1988 is afraid of clowns. 


Let's do something fun. 

This is not a riddle exactly, but we'll call it that because I'm not sure what it is. Before we proceed:
- Try not to even look at anyone else's comments/answers. It's very important that your answer to this riddle-thing be the first thing that pops into your head. 
- There is no right or wrong answer. 
- Some of you might receive a prize!! I shall reveal all in the next post... 

Ok here goes...
So there's this Woman and her Sister, and they go to their mother's funeral. While there, the Woman meets this amazing guy. He's totally her soul mate, and she falls head over heels in love with him. But then later after she gets home, she realizes she forgot to get his phone number and she can't remember his last name, so she has absolutely no way of contacting him. 

A week later, the Woman kills her Sister. Why?

  4. Because she killed their mum, and invited the guy to the funeral and knew his number all along and when she found this out to top it off her sister then ate the last cookie in the world so she was at her tether and just had to kill her sister, she also hoped in this process the guy would come, turns out he did as he was her lawyer in court and defended her case and then they loved each other so much they ran away and had a child who was later taken my social services and the mum and dad sent to prison for their unlawful ways....I did not get at all carried away with this story... :) Take care xxx

  5. i'd love to stop buying things i don't need as well! i am actually known to walk into a store, desperate not to leave without buying SOMETHING. that is such a beautiful dress though! although i hate it when people smoke, i enjoy the scent of it and have never pulled the cough try - your lungs, not mine! i've tried smoking once yet can't seem to grasp why its so addicting. i suppose you need more than one smoke?
    binging is the worst. there's nothing in the world that's more discouraging then having a low intake for 5 days then 2 days ruin it all! grrr...
    a clown? dammit. those things are creepy!
    i saw the comments. ahahaahaha! your girls are extremely clever!

  6. I totally get that! when I smoke (which isn't too often) i always make sure there are no people near me or kids or pregnant ladys etc etc but the other day when I was standing with my bro and sis (they're quite young) some guy and his wife stood right next to us in a crowd and lit up. (also they were smoking over their baby in a pushchair which made me more mad) lol rant over. I simply love reading your posts- they lighten up my mood so much. Your cartoons are hilarious! xxxx

  7. My answer is that the man knows the family somehow and in order for her to see him again, there must be another death in the family. I KNOW i've heard this somewhere before but I can't remember the answer and am too honest to look it up online. REWARD ME FOR MY HONESTY! ;D

    Also, I'm always really curteous to smokers because they have the goddamn right to inhale as they please. All those annoying, bullying "for your own good!" people make me want to take up smoking in the first place! >:(

    Have you considered an electronic cigarette though? Not to quit, but for the oral fixation and habit.
    I'm also really sad you don't like clowns. I legitimately want to become one and plan on going to clown college next year. :(

  8. She was hoping he was a friend of the family and would attend her sister's funeral, as well.

    Clowns are absolutely horrid. Ever since I wrote a paper on John Wayne Gacy, I've been scarred. And with good reason.

    I hope your funk clears up soon enough! xx

  9. a riddle!!! o:

    here's how the story goes.

    after the funeral, she went to visit her sister, who was home by herself. she saw the man's clothes in her sister's bedroom and assumed the worst. heartbroken and teary eyed, she ran home, only to realize a few days later that the man... was her sister. there was no one else in the house at the time. (and no one leaves without their clothes.) she couldn't deal with any of the possibilities with their freaky (disturbing but romantic in a twilight zone/alfred hitchcock kind of way) relationship so, completely at a loss of what to do and confused as to how her sister managed to pull off the caper at the funeral (her sister really is- was?- a clever girl), she killed her to set her mind at ease. but mainly because she wanted to meet her sister's attractive male friends at her funeral.

    you know it's true. for the most part. maybe.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Because she realized her sister had secretly gotten his number and had been texting him all week behind her back. BITCH.


    Hahaha

    ReplyDelete
  11. so she has an excuse to see the hot guy again. he's obviously a funeral-trasher!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ok, so. I also hate clowns, but I hated them before I ever saw IT. AND I'd already heard this riddle before, we tell other ones like it at camp. It's so much more fun to hear the wrong answers, I think.

    We so do need to play dress up together one day.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I guess he might show up at the sister's funeral right?

    ReplyDelete
  14. she was hoping to see him at that funeral.... ?

    anyways your drawing definitely made me laugh!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. So she can "run into him" at her sisters funeral!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. He was her husband and the only way she could be with him was if her sister was dead and no longer his wife. First thing that popped into my head, who knows why.

    Sorry your i a funk, I tots magots understand.

  17. So I was reading everyone's comments and the funeral thing kept repeating and I was wondering what in the world a funeral had to do with anything. So I re-read the riddle and realized that she saw him at a funeral. When I read it the first time I thought it said grocery store, can you guess where my mind is?

  18. So she wouldn't have to share the inheritance. That bitch didn't deserve the that classic pearl necklace.

    ReplyDelete
  19. wow it was hard to scroll down to the comment window without reading anything else. but I did it.

    She kills her sister because falling in love and then loosing her only soul mate drives her to insanity and Satan tells her the only way to be with her soul mate is to kill her sister?

    my verification code is stfuj: shut the fuck up jenn.the devil is talking to me now.

  20. Hey, I'm a sucker for period clothing, so if there's any you wish to get rid of, I'm your girl! Of course, I'm way to large to fit into anything you own now, but it could certainly be my goal weight outfit :).

    When life hands you lemons, through them back and demand something better. Being in a funk, or a slump, or even a rut is never good. I hope you're able to break this binge/starve pattern and pull yourself out of whatever funk you've gotten yourself in too. Oh...and a clown? Wtf??

    Riddle: so the guy will show up at her sister's funeral? Or maybe the woman caught her sister screwing around with the guy (as typical in most soap operas.)

    ReplyDelete
  21. They told us this one on Project K to keep us busy while waiting for the mail.
    She killed her sister coz she figured the guy would show up to the funeral and she could get his number.

    OMFG that dress is amazing! *Drools*

    I live in TERROR of the day a lit fag-end flies out of someone's window and bounces off my chest and up into my helmet. (Wasps do that with appalling regularity) I applaud your nice-smokerness :D You're one of the 2 good cunts I know.

    Ok, gonna go check my toffee. Love you! <3

  22. Fuuuuck i remember running into that same riddle somewhere before... and ofc i forgot the answer but someone had said something about a serial killer.
    Heh.. maybe the guy was a cop investigating her mom's death and the woman brings cop back to investigate the sister's death.
    ok that's morbid. I need sleep xD

    ZOMG I want that dress! Totally get it. Dude if i could I'd be doing the same thing. Maybe if i buy less junkfood. Win win! Who is your lovely dress supplier tho? Share where you find these gems dammit!!
    Also.. you'd better post pics when those lovely gowns arrive! And i want detail, missy! I want closeups of that trim (is it braided or something?) and i have never had a good look at the side hoop things that hold the dress out at the hips like that (what's the proper term again?)
    I stand ready for education!

    Sorry about the funk. Doubly sorry about Evil Universe sending clowns on your tail! WTF Universe?
    (universe says "hey I'm busy creating stars over here and not paying attention to you microscopic humans!")

    Love the cartoons. And thank you for being a considerate smoker. i am actually allergic and try to avoid even the faintest clouds but somtimes they find me.. sorry!
    I think I'm justifiably pissed at the inconsiderate smokers who huddle around the doors and really are just barely outside tho.

  23. You are awesome. I was always so paranoid about my smoke when I was a smoker, I'd be scurrying hither and yon to get it out of the way of others. EVERYONE SHOULD BE LIKE YOU. Not just for the smoking thing. For a whole host of other reasons as well.

    Also, I'm back. Sorry to go all deletey-petey on you. You are wondrous and awesome and sparkly like a diamond and I love you. The end.

    ReplyDelete
  24. So that she can see him again at her Sister's funeral...? Can't wait to scroll up and read everyone's answers!

    Oh and Mich, CLOWNS SCARE THE BAJEEEZUS OUT OF ME! I would have swerved that fucker off the road - just sayin'

  25. to c him at another funeral duh
    and dw ima b locked away soon tooi m losing it

    ReplyDelete
  26. Ugh...that drives me insane when people go on and on about the smoking. I get tired of hearing, "those things are going to kill you!" I flippin' know that already. Now shut up and let me enjoy my cancer stick!

    I feel you on the binge-restrict cycle. Epic suckiness.

    Also, clowns...I hate them. You never know what they're hiding behind that creepy happy mask. Frightening little bastards.

    ReplyDelete
  27. because if he knew the mother, maybe he knows the family and will attend her sister's funeral as well :]

    I missed your posts soooo much! I am so glad I have internet again!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. So she'd have a reason to see the man again! Crazy lady. Also, your illustrations are awesome. They never cease to make me smile.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Since your one of my favorite blogs, I've put you under my 'Beautiful Blogs' section. Hope that's alright with you, xoxox.

  30. I'd have died if I saw a clown whilst driving! They totally freak me out. Scary little shits they are!!

    I love the pictures and I too need to stop buying things I do not need. I seriously wonder what the hell I was thinking most of the time I buy things.

    Oh, she probably killed her sister to get her out of the way because her sister liked the guy too. That, and she wanted him to come to the funeral to snatch his number. ;)
    xx

    ReplyDelete
  31. The guy was her mom's killer, and she fell in love with him.. her sister found out and was about to go to the police. So she needed to end her so she can protect him and run away.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I think it would be uber-creepy to see a clown just driving along anywhere. Weird.

    There isn't anything wrong with dressing up in whatever you would like, especially at home. I made my very own tutu months ago because I never had one & wore it with leggings while I was straightening up the house. :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. that's a puurty dress! :) LOVE it! sorry to hear about the binge, but it's a new day, right?

    she's hoping the guy will show up at the funeral?

    ReplyDelete

  36. I love that dress and I'd be the same way wearing it all the time everywhere, most likely i'd also be yelling "let them eat cake" but thats just me.
    Hmm hot guy at a funeral deff worth offing sis so he'd show up again, if its a sister like mines, i wouldn't need the hot guy excuse, getting rid of her for spare change would suffice even.
    Smoking is an awful and satisfying habit, i hate other people's reaction to it, but its hard to quit, so far I've had no cigs but I haven't been drinking either, they are a pair and I miss hanging with them..
    Next time blow smoke in the tosser's direction give him reason to cough.
    I feel the same way with moods and food relation, the scale does this too, if everything in ED land fails my plan then life is harder that weeek because of it.
    Ah the perils of ED..
    Feel better and cute riddle.

    ReplyDelete
  37. i hate the fake cough thing.

    like seriously, move along fuckwad

    ReplyDelete
  38. I didn't peek honest... hmmm, she kills her sister coz the sister knew that the woman killed her mother, who knew the man as her accountant, and she needed another funeral to attend so the man could be there too and she could get his number :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. In hopes that he'll be at that funeral as well, since he appears to have some relation to their family..?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Aww I know the 'riddle' already, I think.
    She kills her sister because she hopes that the guy might appear on her sisters funreal as well. (;

    It's great that you're such a caring smoker. I hate to see people who just make disgusted faces to everyone smoking... they're plain stupid.
    hope they dont annoy you too much.
    And yeah, clowns are scary.

    xoxo<3

  43. There was no man. The woman was mentally ill and just imagined him. She forgot to take her meds that week later and when her sister tried to explain that there was no such person there at the funeral, the woman flew off the handle and stabbed her thirteen times in the throat.
