What I Wore Today! + Blogger Award

Hey there lovelies!

Right now, I am watching Clerks 2. But earlier today, I headed into the City with The Boyfriend, his sister and a few of her friends. We did a little shopping, a little loitering, and a little aimless wandering. Anyway, I thought it was the perfect occasion to debut the Wolverine Slasher Hoodie in public. Interestingly, it got far fewer wierd looks than the Slasher Skirt. I wonder why that is?

Outfit Rundown

Wolverine Slasher Hoodie: Made by me, around $10

Black t-shirt (worn underneath): Kmart, $10
Jeans: Kmart, $30

Boots: Target, $40

Chainmaille bracelets: crafted by The Boyfriend

Also, I got given a blogger award by the lovely Alex of Shut Up, Vita. Thanks Alex! So now, you lucky people get to learn seven things about me.

1. I am left-handed, for serious yo. So, if anyone can point me in the direction of left-handed knitting instructions, that would be just freakin' great.

2. I loooove Jay and Silent Bob. Clerks, Clerks 2, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - I eat that shit up. I don't care if people think that the humour in these movies is immature and lame, I can't get enough of them. Actually, if someone could hook me up with Mallrats and Chasing Amy, my life would finally be complete.

3. I think I may be deranged. I rearranged the things I have in a display cabinet, and realised that alongside 80's My Little Pony, teddy bears given to me by The Boyfriend, and Hello Kitty, I have Goth dolls, a replica Velociraptor skeleton, a teddy bear with an axe, and the Freddy vs. Jason smackdown right in the middle.

4. My new favorite band is The Reel Big Fish. Check out Don't Start A Band, She Has A Girlfriend Now, and Beer for a taste of the ska magic.

5. The Boyfriend and I own seven different versions of Monopoly. We are nerds.

6. About a month ago, The Boyfriend and I celebrated our three year anniversary. As silly as it sounds, we've been practically living together since around two weeks after we met. I officially moved in around three months after we started dating, after six months we had the kitties, and just after a year we got our puppy. People say we moved really fast, but we only get one life and I've never been happier than when we started living together.

7. According to our new electric bathroom scales, I am 34.8% muscle. Sweet.

Now, without further ado, I'm going to pass this award on to a few bloggers that I think really rock. (Don't feel obligated to do the meme, I just wanted to point out your awesomeness).

Max from Queen Of The Trailer Park
Autley from Heaps of Heart
Anni Sugar from Hand in Unlovable Hand
Stace from Tee & Fame

Thanks for the wonderful blogs ladies!

Until next time, xo.

P.S: I had fun in the Lincraft remnant bin today. See that tiger print faux fur? I'm gonna make me a hooded scarf with cat ears and a pair of mittens out of that. Heck yes. The others are some stretchy faux denim, green tulle, and white sparkly knit fabric. I love you Lincraft remnant bin!

Sharing The Love.

Hello there lovelies,

I may have taken a long time to catch up, but nearly a month ago now I was given an award! It was given to me by Julie from Julie's Jottings - she's pretty cool, and I'm sure you'll love reading her blog.


Now, according to the rules, I need to tell you seven things about myself, then nominate seven other awesome bloggers for this award (the only hard part will be not nominating the same people I did for my last award, as they're still just as cool). Alrighty, onto seven little-known facts about me:

1. I think Stephanie Meyer is actually a decent author. Not because of Twilight, which though amusing, was absolute literary trollop - I loved her science fiction book, The Host. Ok, maybe I'm just a sucker for science-fiction.
   
2. I'm far too much of a boy for my own good. I've only recently started wearing skirts again, and once you get into the habit of sitting like a guy it is so hard to start sitting in skirt-appropriate poses again!
   
3. I am obsessed with 80's My Little Pony. I still watch the movie/TV series from time to time, and may or may not be able to sing along to all the songs in them. I am going to get Mimic tattooed on me somewhere - she was always my favourite.
   
4. I am far too excited over the 2nd Soundwave announcement/revelation that Placebo is playing Soundwave. The last time they toured I missed their concert, as I was having a jaw operation three days before.
   
5. My latest fitness craze is Jillian Michaels DVD's. I love her. She is a slave driver, but in a good way. She kicks your ass, while telling you you CAN do it.
   
6. I often read three or four books at once. For instance, a few weeks ago I was half-way through The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, Ruby by Francesca Lia Block, an issue of Cosmopolitan (though that hardly counts as a book) and American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis (which, although I loved it, is the only book I have never finished reading - it gave me terrible nightmares).
   
7. I am a complete dork. Let this horrible, grainy photo stand as evidence. This is normal Tuesday night behaviour for me. Or any night for that matter.

Onwards, here's seven rad blogs for you to check out/to receive this award:

1. Shut Up Vita: This lady blogs about a bit of everything, and always keeps me entertained.
2. Insomniac Lolita: Particularly check out the new addition of TMI Thursday. It makes me laugh so hard.
3. {sprinkle} tiaras atop our pastel hair: This chicky is super-cute, and her blogs make me feel happy. Check out her "Inside Us All Is A Wild Thing" photo shoot, it's adorable.
4. Sea of Shoes: Because everyone needs inspiration from someone with a brilliantly awesome wardrobe.
5. Rabbit Write: One of my favourite blogs. This lady blogs about a range of topics from very interesting perspectives, and really makes you think about things.
6. Hot Piece of Sass: Because this chick is so damn badass, and she'll make you laugh your ass off.
7. Swashbuckling Through The Murky Waters of On-Line Dating: Her piratey adventures through the on-line dating process are at once enlightening, hilarious and disturbing. Blogging gold I tells' ya!
   

Until next time, xo.

P.S. No one need feel obligated to pass this award on - I just wanted to share the love.
