In every woman's house...

[asterroc]

C/o the_xtina. Do you have these in your apartment/house?

1. Piles of magazines everywhere, comprised of tons of pretentious ones that are clearly untouched and then severely thumbed-through Vogues and Luckys.
Well, I got rid of a bunch of Physics Today and National Geographic. But I did keep the Real Simple.

2. Overflowing shoe rack and nothing in the fridge.
Nope - no rack, the shoes are piled in the closet (and in a box under the bed), and T$ stocks the fridge. :-P

3. Scented candles.
Nope, as of the move - they're not good for birds so I got rid of them. I kept the unscented ones.

4. Slovenly heaps of little-used makeups in the bathroom.
Nope, since it's a new clean place. They're in boxes instead.

5. Stuffed animals in the bed.
Gave them to my old neighbors, yay!

6. Cat hair on the furniture.
Feathers instead. Close enough

7. Cat smell.
Stupid old tenants. Yes. And bird smell.

8. Cabinets full of mugs featuring the likeness of lady who looks like those hypertrophically-limbed Daily Candy illustrations, bearing the legend "I Love Shopping" or whatnot.
Not quite, but lots of other mugs, including ones from college

9. Anything pink.
The box I keep my Sandman comics in.

10. Ornamental pillows.
Not really, but between T$ and I, we have way too many functional pillows.

11. Unedited bookshelves, esp. if they include He's Just Not That Into You or anything along those lines.
I'm not sure what they mean by "unedited", but I certainly wish I had more bookshelves

12. Nair.
NO.

13. Lite cottage cheese in the fridge.
Ew. No

14. Anything lite or diet around. Cases of Diet Coke. Weight Watchers 'Just 2 Points' bars.
I don't do diet. I'm only 125 pounds wearing shoes.

15. Inspirational or thinspirational things on the fridge.
Do magnets reading "animals are tasty" count? It's T$'s, and I'm afraid what my veggie neighbor will say when she sees it, but I think it's awesome. My alien poetry magnets will go up soon too. Once I find them

16. Framed posters.
Not framed ones, but comics will go up soon.

17. Handbag tree.
A what now?

18. A copy of "Bridget Jones' Diary", either the book or the movie.
ew.

19. A really cool shower curtain.
Green and filmy, fits the current (tacky) color scheme just as well as the old bathroom.

20. A "goody drawer".
Boxes and boxes of multiple generations of goody drawers/shelves.

21. Smelly bath salts, fizzes, or bubble bath gel.
Of course. Want some?

22. Some product from a home selling party (Tupperware, Cookie Lee, Party Lite, Naughty Lady).
no

23. Soft fuzzy socks, possibly with an image of an animal sewed on.
of course

Hiya!

I think you are who I think you are -- I'm Victoria -- now out in LA.

*performs kowtow to the mighty internet*

How's it going?

As a fellow of rather catholic reading tastes, my eyebrow raised when I saw your vehement rejection of the Bridget Jones series. I happen to own a copy of Bridget Jones's Diary, a remnant of a course on adaptations of nineteenth century novels. And while I would not hold up Bridget Jones as an example of a highlight of our culture, rejecting the novel with a curt 'ew' seems to me to shortchange its merits.

sorry this is so off-topic

I have a random Etsy question. If I "convo" someone on the Etsy site, does it email a notification of the conversation to the person?

I actually sold two items (the cheapest ones, of course, heh), and the first lovely customer paid right away, but the second hasn't yet. I just wanted to let them know that if I got their payment soon, I could mail the item tomorrow. Of course I probably should have emailed them directly, but for some reason I did Etsy convos instead. And Etsy won't let me "talk to myself" to test for any (lack of) notification emails. :P I should email the person in any case and just apologize for any potential duplication, but for future reference it would be cool to know. Thanks!
