Endings and Beginnings

Spookies, I have some bad news.

Well I suppose it's both good and bad news. Beau and I are no longer a couple. The breakup was initiated by me, and involved a host of factors influencing my decision. I believe I did the right thing, but that does not mean that I don't feel bad, guilty and depressed over it. I'd rather not go into details here in this blog, but trust that we will both be better off for having separated. I'm sure of it.

I just have to keep telling myself that.

In other news, I've become completely wrapped up in Toy Soldier-ish things. Ugly, the famous uglydoll came and spent Christmas with me (and also my first Hanukkah!). I've also initiated a contest for the design of the new #6800 logo, entered a Toy Soldier quilt block exchange, and spearheaded my very first mission, which will take place next weekend. Busy me! I suppose busy is better than the alternative, though.

Sorry I don't have much more to write, Spookies. Hopefully I'll have a longer entry for you all soon, but in the meantime: LOVE.

Post-Halloween Blahs

Hello, Spookies.

I wish I had the post I intended to give you all today. Unfortunately, paying rent outweighs sampling the local haunts, and I was not able to gather nearly as much information as I had originally planned.

However, I did have the opportunity to visit Cedar Point's Halloweekends with a small group of Toy Soldiers. It was a great time, and I really enjoyed visiting with my Toy Soldier friends. Hopefully I'll get to see my friends in the #6800 and #614 divisions again very soon.

Love,
Miss Manic

Greetings!

And welcome to my brand new blog! Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Miss Manic, I'm a 21-year-old gothling living in the midwest United States and I intend, with the aid of this blog, to share my continuing experience with growing up as a dark-and-frilly member of society.

Some quick background on myself, I am not exactly what you'd call a typical goth-type person. My personal style is all over the board from casual-punk to neo-victorian, I don't normally wear all black and occasionally I enjoy loitering in the toy section of the department store or (very occasionally) listening to R&B music. Not gothy enough for you? Oops. You may want to find a different lifestyle blog to follow.

So, as a good little gothling, I have many role models in the alternative community and continue to choose them as my tastes mature. So how about sharing some of my favorite links with you to help get the ball rolling, shall we?
