I finally sent in a work order in my ActiveBuilding app, the one I use to pay my rent and whatnot. I asked if the light in between mine and my neighbours doors could be fixed because it’s not bright enough at night, unlike in the other buildings. It actually goes off when I get to the top of the stairs, leaving me in the dark which is creepy and annoying. It’s also uncomfortable going up and down those stairs in inadequate lighting, which is something I do frequently. I don’t think my neighbour goes out at night often but I’m sure she wouldn’t mind if it’s fixed lol
I got my KILLSTAR package! I haven’t opened it to try stuff on yet, I will do that later tonight. I also got the ‘Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace’ book, which I’ve been looking at since it came out many years ago, but it was expensive and I didn’t have money back then. It’s yet another thing I should not have bought but I’m super happy to have it and excited to look at the photos in it. It’s a photo book of 80’s goth culture and fashion. There’s also one specifically chronicling deathrock fashion which I plan to get at some point. I’d never seen that one before but it looks super cool. That’s kind of how I used to dress in the mid-2000s. I was more subdued but had my big black fluffy death hawk and personally customised spiked leather jacket with band names written on it in white-out, but I still wasn’t as extreme-looking as other people. I dressed more like a dude. I made lots of friends in that scene. We all lost touch over time. I miss them.
I think I will customise leather jackets and sell them on Etsy because I was actually pretty good at it, and now know more now about how to make the custom painting last instead of chipping off over time. I have a couple thrifted leather jackets lying around waiting to be mutilated haha. I could probably do requested custom ones too. I should look into this more seriously because these jackets often sell for a couple hundred bucks or more. I buy leather jackets at thrift stores whenever I find them in anticipation of something like that. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while now but not sure how to get started.
I’m trying to reserve my Etsy shops name but damn they make it difficult…it’s ’The Horror of Belladonna’. Weird name, I know. Gotta verify my bank account and ID. Like, can I just make the shop and do that afterwards? I also had to make a first listing, which is stupid. It’s a dummy listing which I will immediately delete when the shop is verified. I hope no one sees it before I can delete because it’s absolute rubbish!
Edit: I’m gonna use that remaining $100 from my $500 Self payout to pay off most of my pc Affirm costs. The pc was $300-something and I’ve paid off a lot of it but it’s like $27 a month. I want to get that paid off asap. I had planned on asking about filling in a scar on my face at the tattoo laser consultation but I’ll leave that for another time. I need to rid myself of some of these payments.
