boy am i geeky
Feb. 5th, 2002 01:48 pmI'm sitting here, reading my Earth Science book (preparing for that dreaded makeup final) and I realized something. I'm basically absorbing my favorite fandoms into my personal style. And well, that's just kind of obsessive. But in a fun and stylish way. Right? Riiiiight...
I'm sure there are a lot more, like having the urge to get an iBook because Willow (BtVS)has one. Or scouring eBay for a huge Kogepan pillow, 'cause Willow had one of those, too ("The Body"). Oh! Or, wanting the Evenstar pendant that Arwen had in "Fellowship of the Ring," but having neither the money to buy it or the neck space to hang it.
- Bajoran earring - made my own and wore one for over three years. Got over this geeky-ness... 'cause I got too lazy to put it on
- Learned the Greek alphabet to use as a *cough*secret code*cough* when writing my really bad fics. Currently learning Tengwar (Tolkien's script from LoTR)
- Claddagh ring - oh come on, Buffy fandom! I was a B/A shipper way back when, but I've since shifted to the dark side of C/A.. Mwahahahah!
- Gloves - took a liking to these one I jumped into the W/R fandom. Wearing mostly cut-offs now, but still, got 'em on everyday.
- Canadian dog tags - same as above. Got them engraved with "Wolverine" and his social.
- Highlights - I have black hair, and okay, lots of Asians highlight, but I started because I wanted to have the Rinoa (FFVIII) look. Was gonna do the Rogue white-strips, but I don't have the guts. Currently doing the red thing.
- The Legolas 'do - Half up and two braids on the sides... I guess. I dunno. Take a look at a promo pic of Orli Bloom as Legolas.
- Currently working on getting the same Maori greenjade carving the darling Orli has. Er.. just need to get the cash.

I have a beautiful black pair of long gloves that go past my elbows. All shiny and pretty- though it's not cold enough to wear them. And they're a little bit tight now. Drat. Not to mention the odd looks... and the fact that it goes with barely anything in my wardrobe... I know I know! Excuses excuses.

Do it! Just for a change even! Besides, if you don't like it just dye brown/black over it again. :)

Shibby. Trying to picture it done with red hair though. I guess I can't. I've seen it in blond and that's all I can see it as now. Eh well.

Was this on ebay too? I wanna know I wanna see it. :)

Here's Arwen's pendant on eBay. Pricey but beautiful. *sigh*

That pendant... I want it! But I have too many necklaces as it is... and I only wear the one H*Bee gave me anyway. :) / :(
