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!

    From my studies: sigel, haegl, asc, gifu, rad, asc, Tyr, haegl. S H A G R A T H

    S sun cycle; H hail/snow; A the steadfast ash; G gifts and partnership; R trials and journeys; T the figure of Tyr

    With regards to inverted 'grams and crosses? I don't even.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

Halloween Update: A Change of Plans

So everyone, I am a little disappointed to say that my Marie Antoinette costume is not a go this year. There has been so much piling up on me between things in my personal life, work, and school, that I have been unable to find the time to get the rest of my costume together. I bit off more than I could chew this year, but I know for next time to plan better. Perhaps you'll see the Queen next year... Although I will not be doing Marie Antoinette, I do have something planned that I can easily do with what I have! I will be using my red dress, a hat, roses, black lace and accessories, and of course some creative make-up, to throw together a Día de los Muertos costume. I think it might even be a better option this year, as I plan on visiting my aunt's house who has decorated her home in a  "Dead Hat Society" theme this year. If you don't remember the aunt to whom I am referring, here is the link to my post about her house.  I will take pictures! It's really spe

My Birthday!

Today (November 9th) was officially my 19th birthday! (It is also Dorian Gray's birthday.) Jessica, Justean, and I took a trip up to the beautiful Blue Ridge, Georgia to go see Frankenweenie at the Swan Drive-In Theater. This was my first time going to a drive-in. They're very rare where I live, and Swan was highly recommended by my aunt. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of my little celebration. The movie and the whole drive in experience were wonderful, and even the car ride was far from dull. Aside from the fact that I nearly got us killed on the drive up, I enjoyed being vulgar, singing badly, and laughing maniacally with my friends in the car.  Official Website The famous Blue Ridge Mountains. The beautiful Jessica I don't really know what to say...Justean's enjoying her funnel cake? Derp This is Cocoon Justean. This movie was so cute! It was pretty cold out tonight, at least to us, since we could see our breath. Taking the conver

My First Ghost Tour

source As you probably know, I'm now officially a ghostly tour guide in my town! I'm so happy about this. What were the chances of me finding a job where I get paid to be creepy and tell ghost stories?  Before tonight, I was a ghost tour virgin. I was a little nervous at first, but life has prepared me for public speaking since I've been on stage and done presentations before. Overall, I think it went pretty well. I had an unusually large group (19 people) of mostly serious older adults who appreciated the history more than anything else. My walking cane even broke a few times, there were 4 or 5 trains to go by during the tour (which is irritating), and my new shoes rubbed my heels raw. Despite all that, everyone seemed to have a good time and I even creeped a few people out! Here's what I wore minus the Top hat: I love my little coffin locket. :) And for your listening enjoyment:
