pups and purple and popopopopopo
I twittered about this already but it really made my day, so it's going on lj too.
A few days ago, I was looking at local dogs on Petfinder.com which I do from time to time (wishful thinking, yeah.) There's a place in my town apparently called Luke's Place that adopts out a couple of dogs at a time, and there were two really gorgeous dogs there that I even made Mom look at the ads for (much to her disapproval.)
Today, Nick and I were checking various pet stores for rat cages (haven't found the one I want yet :<) and when we were in PetsMart, in walks a youngish couple and a big ol' beautiful mutt. I scamper over and ask to pet him and as he stands up and puts his big paws on my stomach while I scratch his head I asked, "did you happen to adopt this dog recently?"
They go, "We actually just picked him up!"
I explained that I'd actually just seen him on Petfinder the other day and they said that's where they found him. Gentle Ben. ;; 3;; We chatted for a bit while I pet him and I congratulated them on their adoption and stuff and.. fjhsjgjls. ♥
I still feel like a little bit of a weirdo for recognizing a dog.. off the internet.. but it made me so happy to see that he's got a home now with a couple of really nice people. Looking at his ad again, I'm almost choking up. I want to give a dog who deserves it a good home again, you know? Well, I'm glad this pup found a home. ♥
In other news, I dyed my dress for the Katsu ball today! Ame and I are just doing fun outfits~ party dresses and our Chibiusa and Hotaru wigs plus masquerades masks. It is very difficult to find a cute purple party dress in the middle of winter, but I had a white one from several years ago that was actually in the give-away pile. It's like. Def way too small for me but I DON'T CARE. It is now dyed purple. Here, have a picture. The wig is NOT the one I'm using.. unless in case of absolute emergency. It's a stand-in for now.
Hotaru's all about the shocker. Except with Chibiusa, wouldn't it be all three in the pink? OH MY GOD THAT WAS TERRIBLE I HAVE EVEN DISGUSTED MYSELF I'M SORRY.
Tonight, we're finishing.. a certain show that it's taken me over a year to watch the end of. I've been putting it off for a long time because I don't want it to end, but.. it's time. More on this later because I'm going to be a mess.
edit so I normally wouldn't post quiz results like this, and while I have not for the most part jumped on the steampunk bandwagon.. it makes me think of the steampunk characters electronicangel, scanningdarkly and testsofthemuse and I came up with last year. ♥ (oh hay I get to see you guys in like three days wut)
Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...
The Air Pirate
21% Elegant, 41% Technological, 7% Historical, 56% Adventurous and 60% Playful!
You are the Air Pirate, the embodiment of steampunk fantasy. Admittedly, you would probably be more comfortable in a pulp adventure or Eberron fantasy, but you are able to find your niche in the less serious side of the genre. You are probably somewhat light on your technological accessories, but the ones that you do carry have a roguish dash to them. Your clothes are most likely styled after those of Victorian aristocrats or loyal airship officers, the better to show off your wealth and the spoils of your raids. Chances are you prefer to be flashy and extravagant, and frock coats are perfect.

Seeing as our characters all travelled together on an airship, this works for me! Except Nellie's character was the batshit captain lady, Max's character was the nutty inventor (omg Pomfrit ♥), Samara's character was the fancy aristocrat and my character was the little shotaboy stowaway mechanic.
The four of us would about kill for a decent Steampunk larp to play these characters at 'cause they're all SO GOOD but fffff like we're going to find that. So instead we just chat about hypothetical airship situations sometimes, ha.
