Friday The Thirteenth Update

Happy Friday The Thirteenth, everybody. It's my two and a half year anniversary with my boyfriend, Joe, today. Unfortunately, he has work most of the day today, so we went out for lunch yesterday before he had class. We went to an Irish pub. I wore a Punk Hogwarts student outfit yesterday. I don't have pictures, but I wore my Ravenclaw tie over a black dress shirt, my black jean skirt with my "diy or die" patch I just painted, blue and black striped tights, and my trusty Doc Martens. 
I love this thing. I'm a Ravenclaw, but my Hogwarts letter was lost in the mail.

Yay for home-made patches. That's the best way to go, in my opinion.
I also went out for coffee with my friend, Justean, like we do every Thursday. I went to go use the restroom, and I found this on the door of the toilet stall:
It's really neat looking. Below the symbol, there appears to be some writing in runes. Can anybody tell me what this means? I'd really like to find out. If it doesn't mean anything, it might just be the work of some of those dodgy hipsters in black. They tend to gravitate towards triangles and "Satanic" imagery for whatever reason. The Greater Atlanta area has a large hipster population, and the local coffee shop is no exception. I suppose it's because a lot of bands come here, and we have a bunch of trendy stores and consignment shops. Anyway, I didn't mean to get off track.

I hope everyone plans on doing something adventurous this Friday The Thirteenth. There's an old legend where I live about a certain statue in a certain cemetery. You run around the statue thirteen times counter clockwise at the stroke of midnight on Friday The Thirteenth and ask, "Mary, Mary, what happened to your children?"  If you do this correctly, supposedly she will cry.
This is Mary:

Good luck, everyone!

    1. Thanks for the help. I'd love to learn runes one day. So is it safe to go with the dodgy hipsters theory?

  3. it seems like the work of hipster-goths to me (you know, the ones who do the "goth" style, but know nothing about goth music etc.)
    i don't even know how it got popular with hipsters..probably because they want to look edgy and "satanic" or something.

    1. You're probably right. That's what I meant by "dodgy hipsters in black." haha

  7. If you want to learn to read runes (saw you did in an earlier post), I recommend the charts you can find online, with pronunciation help from Sunnyway.com. The skill will enable you to read some runes that people just write in English (which you see occasionally), and the runes of The Hobbit, which are called 'moon runes', but if you can read germanic runes, you should be able to read the 'moon runes'. It's pretty cool. Hope you get round to it.

  8. The runes you saw read 'Shagrath' in germanic runes, from Viking times. Makes sense, because Shagrath is a Norwegian musician who does black metal music, and Norway does have Viking history.

Devil's Turnaround

Noonday Missionary Baptist Church's Cemetery is also known as "Devil's Turnaround." It is located along a little back road in Kennesaw, Georgia, and most of the graves are scattered in the woods. It is easy to miss, but some of the gravestones are visible from the road. The cemetery has graves from the 1860's. I wouldn't doubt that some of its occupants were slaves at one time. Many say the land is haunted by malevolent spirits who hurl objects and make physical contact--shoving, scratching, and even biting visitors. I could understand why any lingering spirits might be upset: These grounds have been terribly neglected. Much of the graves are broken and toppled over. Some are barely visible through the overgrowth of ivy and weeds. People also say the root of the haunting may be related to rumored cult rituals performed on the property. Located right by the cemetery are huge power lines (high voltage transmission lines). I could hear them b

Why I Still Use CD's

Second Wave Compilation, Talking Heads, and SOM all purchased at a used book store Are CD's obsolete? With all of this digital downloading, most people don't even bother with them. Even vinyls (which are technically obsolete) have a vintage charm which CD's currently lack. I have a friend who jokes, "It's 2013. Who listens to CD's anymore?" while knowing full well that I still buy them. It might seem that I have luddite tendencies--I don't use an e reader either. However, I can make some very good arguments for purchasing CD's. Buying your music on compact disks nowadays is really cheap, especially if you know where to look. I tend to shop for them at Goodwill, thrift stores, and used book stores. I found Ministry's Psalm 69 (in very good condition) at my local Goodwill for only $1. Keep in mind, many people pay that much for a digital copy of one song. When I shop for them at my local used book store, the CD's are guaranteed to be i

DIY Moon Patch

Sometimes, I get the inexplicable desire to paint patches. This time, I had an image of the moon phases in my head. The next thing I knew, I was pinning the patch on to the back of my jean vest. I was very pleased with how it turned out. What do you think? In progress The finished product
