"about your LJ" memage from snowpuppies.

My journal is called _____ because _____.
My subtitle is _____ because _____.
My friends page is called _____ because _____.
My username is ____ because _____.
My default userpic is _____ because_____.

My journal is called 'Aspirations' because it's a spinoff of my main blog, 'Aspire to the Stars.'
My subtitle is 'the road goes ever on. more ramblings among the stars.' because it's a) a tribute to Lord of the Rings and b) see previous answer.
My friends page is called the same as my main title, with 'friends' added...I'm too lazy to do anything about that.
My username is Etoiline because it's from the big writing project in my life, the Moonstone Chronicles. It means 'star warrior' in car'etol.
My default userpic is usually something Harry Potter and hopefully matching my layout, because most of the communities I belong to now (or at least the ones I post in sort of regularly) are HP-related.

Don't you love it when I tell you random things about myself?

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

So, no thanks to pekeana, I have a new addiction. I sure hope it's worth it. Take a look at the scent oils that BPAL offers. They sound amazing. They've also got a huge following so I hope that I won't be disappointed.

Anyway, they offer limited editions of scents, sometimes for one day only, and the one they offered Tuesday pushed me over the edge. I made my first order of Storm Moon, along with imps (samples) of Yggdrasil, Coyote, Tintagel, Aureus, Dublin,  and Xiuhtecuhtli. Great names, eh? You should go to the site and search for the descriptions. I'm too lazy to do that here.

And today, I won an ebay auction for another LE scent, Snow White (which I hope smells something like the Glade Glistening Snow plugin, lol) and 10 more imps: Three Witches, Old Madrid, Old London, Midnight, Nephilim, Mystery, Ouija, Black Dahlia, Magdalene, and Luna. I've also decided that I'm not too fond of auctions because I can't stand the suspense there at the end. Luckily no one outbid me at the end of the auction, but man, my heart was pounding! Silly.

So yeah. I've spent alot of money on scents in the last few days. Hopefully none are too overpowering, and I know that if I don't like them I'll probably be able to sell them or swap them easily. Yay.

ETA:
In other news, if the post after this offends, I deeply regret it. I woke up and saw the news that it was Holocaust Remembrace Day, then put it out of my mind until someone brought up the Rabbit Hole Day bit. I didn't know this day had been set aside to remember the Holocaust, so I'm not trying to be offensive. Just have a bit of fun. I will always remember to think about what happened, and hope it can never happen again, but on the whole I like to be optimistic and think of the good things. I hope you all feel the same. ...thus ends lame apology.

Down the rabbit hole

I woke up this morning and it was dark. Which isn't unusual, since my room normally takes on a grey tinge as the sun comes up, but today it was dark. No light whatsoever. I remembered something fluffy and white hopping around in my dream, but couldn't for the life of me figure out what that meant. I got up and slipped on my sandals, made my way to the door, opened it, and walked into a party. Thank goodness I wore my new pajamas.

Yes, there was a party going on outside my bedroom door, but it wasn't in the hallway of the apartment; it was in a grand ballroom filled with people. The noise level was deafening and I wondered how I hadn't heard it before. Perhaps that's what woke me up, though the party looked to be in full swing. ( Everyone was wearing masks )
