ok so a lot of shite has happened lately; tons. mass amounts of shite. Uber even. I don't know if I'll even remember it all but because I'm old as many of you know, I no known memory to speak of. Sooo, I'll do a small recap: The Renaissance Fair was awesome.. yes, a looong ass time ago but awesome! I was dressed as an Elf warrior girl. I had on black boots, black pants, a red/black leather top, the wrist..thingies.. Yeah, I told you I'm old. I just blanked on what they're called.. I'm going to go hide now.. I also had a black velvet cloak with hood and a dragon clasp that had a purple satin inlay.. I LOOVE this cloak. Bought it in London in Camden (I think everyone should go!). I also had on my elf ears reddish crimped wig and a black sash on that. very pirate-y. I got to hear things like "Oooh, mommy look at the pretty elf!" and had my picture taken with some little kids who asked if my ears were real. It's things like that.. makes ya warm an fuzzy all over. Overall, the time had was much fun. Thank you to all who made it possible! *wipes tear dramatically*

I'm also going to be in an upcoming issue of Buckle Magazine. Woohoo for me! The pics are from Buckle Ball, and as soon as I figure out what issue it is, I'll let ya guys know. If you send funds and an address, I'll even sign it for ya ;) Hey, I can't buy all the magazines myself, now can I? lol Anyhoos, the pics I saw that were being sent to go in look very kickass. Congrats to everyone who went to Buckle Ball and busted their asses to make it a success for everyone. You all know who you are. Also in the photo-ness side of things, Ishall be gracing the February Purgatory flyer. The theme is St Valentine's Day Massacre, so yours truly wore a red fedora, white shirt, classic black corset and thigh highs, sportin a nice revolver. if anyone sees the flyer and reads my journal, know that I know very little about guns, so dun shoot me if I say the wrong one. I'm a blades girl meself. Also, I hopefully will be doing a show in Feb too. so I hope to see EVERYONE out there showing the performers and dancers love!

now on to Spencers... heh. Not one.. but on TWO occasions, I had to politely educate the misunderstood and ignorant. Now, don't get me wrong, I love every one of you lovely Christians out there, and if any of you have kept up with my last journal entries of days gone by, you'll know that I went to a Private Catholic school up until High School, and my uncle heads his own church in Florida. So I grew up in a religious background and learned a lot from a lot of people, including the ordained uncle. So when I say this, it's from the bottom of my heart, and with no malice towards anyone or any belief: IF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR OWN DAMN RELIGION WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE THE FUCKIN EXPERT ON MINE??

There, I feel better now. Let me elaborate. I'm working, and this guy comes up to me and I ring him up.. then he looks dead at me and asks me if I've been saved.. and do I think I'm going to be saved. Mmm--hm. I just look at him, then he explains that he saw the satanic symbol around my neck. Remeber that entry about me having a sign? Haven't found it yet.. Tricky bastards hid it well. SO.. I explain quite politely to him that it is in fact a pentacle.. not an inverted pentagram. I tell him that it's a Wiccan symbol for protection and also represents oneness with surroundings and completeness, as the star looks like a human figure with the head, arms, and legs inside a complete circle. He then "corrects" me and informs me that it is a satanic symbol as if I dont know what I'm talking about.. and has he nerve to ask me "Now are you SURE that's what it really means?" Yes, dumbass I know what it means. I didn't join Wicca because they gave me a pretty pamphlet with pictures and a bookmark. I then furhter explain that the satanic symbol he was referring to was the inverted pentagram, which looks like the head of a goat with the face, ears and horns. his response: "I don't see it." So I went and got the LARGE pentacle necklace that we sell, and showed it to him that way.. I then said that I went to a Private Catholic School from K-8th grade, have an uncle who heads his own church in FLA..ORDAINED, and I yes, I do own a Bible which I HAVE read. (GASP! The Pagan can READ!). I told him about the COLLEGE LEVEL comparative religious studies paper I wrote in HIGH SCHOOL comparing the similarities between Wicca and Christianity.. which I got an "A" on because all of my points were valid, and I had references--both Wiccan AND Biblical texts--to support it. And this vaccum of intellect STILL did not get it. I even gave him verses from the BIBLE.. It ended with the typical Christian way of dismissing things when they know they're wrong "I'll pray for you." The other woman that came in on another day was no better..though she did make an attempt at trying to stump me. I told her the exact same thing I told the other guy.. and was quizzed on when Wicca was founded--which I told her, and who the founders were. I even gave dates and the names of places in biblical texts to support what I was trying to tell her.. then I think I struck a nerve when I told her the cross necklace she was wearing was actually a Pagan symbol.. TeeHee. Refer back to my lovely easter rant: http://nitechylde-vv.deadjournal.com/3357.html . She looked less than pleased, so you know I was amused as all hell.

I think that catches us up to last night--as nothing else is more important! Well, maybe that one kid that asked me if the lightsabers were real and could they burn someone... I told him "No, we didn't get those in yet.. but Best Buy across the street has em." I'm a bastard sometimes, I swear.. .but they make it sooo easy! Oh yeah, there was also this girl that came in.. bought--something, I duno.. and when she reached in her pocket.. this dirty bitch pulls out a USED CONDOM!! I mean DAMN! That's just sick! And she looks at it--like she had Nooo idea where it came from--and dropped it on the floor!! I'm soo glad I wasn't in there..

Ok, the main news of last night: This guy came in and bought a Rabbit (i-Vibe) for his girl, and he was really nice. We joked with him, and this girl that was filling out an application, Alyssa, looks over and says that she sooo has to get one for Christmas, but she doesn't have the money for it (it's an $80 vibe afterall). So I give the guy his discount cuz he spent over $50, and try to get him to sign up for our Underground card that will get him a $10 gift certificate to use at any Spencers.. and he said that she can have the card and the free gift certificate.. so I give it to Alyssa to fill out. We told him how nice he was, and then he looks at me and says "Ya know what.. how much did I spend again Miss?" so I told him that with his discount, it was about $78. He pulls out a huge wad of crisp $20s, places 4 of em on the counter and slides them towards Alyssa, and says "Buy her one. And Have a Merry Christmas"

This guy didnt even KNOW her, and gave her money for an $80 vibrator!!!
Heh, I got to keep the change ^_^ Can we say, Snack from the snack machine today?

Well I've ranted long enough I think, and you're all caught up, so Happy Holidays to all the sick bitches, pornographically wealthy, christian ignorants...and the COOL PEOPLE who deal with them!
