Where Do You Find a Smiling Goth?

At a cemetery, of course.

From The Bubonic Plague Luncheonette

(No lie, in the two dozen or so pictures I have from this past weekend this is the only one in which we were both smiling)

Further bulletins as events warrant.

Hey, I recognize that tree! And you call those smiles!? Geeez grrl, you gotta get out more!

Of course you recognize that tree. It's the one in the photo from the Gother Than Thou card game, on the card that says "Spending Your Second Date Strolling Through the Graveyard Arm in Arm with Your Beloved on a Beautiful Friday Afternoon and Getting Your Rare Monthly Allotment of Sunlight Together." It's +2 goth points, and -1 health point (which can be avoided if you remember to bring sunscreen). If I recall correctly, YOU played this card some time last Feb, and topped it off with taking your date to the Annual Deet Dee Dee Goth Prom (the one which we shall never speak of again, and yet we keep going back to every year anyway).

But yes, you're right. Those are some pretty half-ass smiles. Be glad that we didn't capture my full-on toothy grin on film, lest I subject the public to my British orthodontic work and my butter-face double-chin (which, according to the family curse of being Massively Un-photogenic, only makes an appearance if I'm trying not to ruin an otherwise nice photograph).

Your hair looks deliciously healthy, I think complete colorings of full lengths might not be for you.

Maybe. I did get super lazy with the hair coloring, but folks have always told me that the unnatural smears of color weren't the most flattering thing I could have done to my head, so maybe they were on to something there and I should have listened to them. Then again, these were also people who were older and more crotchety than me, so I wasn't quite sure whether to lend their opinions credence at the time (I mean, it's hard to take style advice from people who get mushroom-haircuts; everyone knows there's nothing more unflattering on an asian woman than short hair that's reamed up into a perm, so I'll be damned if I'll follow suit).

Anyhow, thanks for the compliment - I'll be sure to continue with my hair-dyeing laziness, as it seems to produce such nice results!
