Oops my ignorance and absence!

 

     Unfortunately although I love many things, I can be clueless to their origins, history or any other facts about them. I suppose I should make a practice and being better educated about such things. If it weren't for the myriad of of Instagram posts about Edgar Allen Poe's Birthday this past Monday, January 19th, I would have never known. I am a Poe fan but I did not know this, so now I know. So happy Belated Birthday to the father of insanity and horror!

     Now...about my absence...no excuses really, just nothing to blog about and I have been somewhat otherwise occupied living out of a backpack here and there. But mostly I've been broke. This Goth on a budget is busted. I make do with what I have though, and I continue to decorate my room, and self Gothy.  This is my current bed situation....

     As I've said before, when all else fails and you can't afford it, make it! The 2 pillows on my bed are homemade, the bat one and the skeleton one (behind the Minion). I thrifted this little adorable skeleton Minion for 99 cents and got his fantastic Mad Hatter Blanket for $2.99 (which had a tear but was an easy fix). I received some nice gothy gifts for Christmas as well, including this VERY awesome and lovely bat jewelry box from my Ugo.

 As well as this Raven Queen Doll whom I adore

    I'm currently seeking employment and so hopefully soon my goth budgety situation won't be so dire...but well ya know that thing called life get's in the way and I have a lot of other stuff to take care of. Thrifting and finding great bargains on the goth clothing and things I love will never fade, I just have to take it in strides when I can afford it now.
