til human voices wake us and we drown

Snagajob.com is the shittiest thing ever. Fuck you snagajob. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

So I’m reading some true crime/serial killer books that I picked up from the library, and I decide to look up local spree killer Joseph Palczynski and local serial killers/spree killers the Beltway Snipers. Those were pretty scary incidents and I remember them well, despite being about 11 and 13 at those separate times. My dad and I were reminiscing about the search helicopters hunting for Palczynski near our neighborhood. I even still remember the vehicle the police suspected the Beltway Snipers were in - white box-style Isuzu delivery truck witha ladder and a broken taillight. Of course that turned out to be completely wrong, but whatever.

I Google “Maryland serial killers” to see if there have been any others I haven’t heard about, and I come across some articles about a man called Charles Eugene Burns, suspected of killing a number of prostitutes.

“Thirty four year old Charles Eugene Burns from Kingsville,”  the article says, ”was a troubled kid who grew into a disturbed adult, then graduated into a full fledged monster.”

Huh, I think. I’ve never heard of this guy, but I live like five minutes away from Kingsville. That’s weird.

I read on, and come to this sentence: “He picked up 2 prostitutes 3 weeks apart who turned out to be mother and daughter. He drove the mother to St. Paul’s Lutheran Cemetery where he choked her until she lost consciousness.”

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, ST PAULS?! ST PAULS KINGSVILLE? I FUCKING WENT TO SCHOOL THERE FOR NINE FUCKING YEARS. I RETRIEVED LOST KICKBALLS FROM THAT CEMETERY.  HOLY SHIT.

Weeeeeiiiiiirrrrrd. I didn’t expect this to strike so close to home…literally.

(Also when I was in first grade a man robbed a local bank and had his car parked in the St Pauls parking lot. Our whole school went on lockdown, and my mom actually saw the guy getting into his car. Looking back, I am so glad the guy was just trying to pretend to be a parent and wasn’t interested in, like, eliminating witnesses or anything and didn’t do anything to my mom.)

I shudder to think what the price will be, but I might buy one or two :D

There’s a detective on this Dateline episode I’m watching that looks a lot like (Rupert Graves’) Lestrade, and it amuses me.

Hi Everyone! 

To celebrate Sinister Sartorialist being 1 year old today I’m having a contest. In the image above you can see 3 charms. I absolutely adore the lolita skeleton cameo style and I bought a bunch of them over a year ago. Recently I finally found some settings that go well with them and now I want to make something with them. As a prize, I am going to give one of you some jewelry made with one of the cameos.

The winner can choose the color of the cameo and whether they want:

• A necklace,
• A ring, or
• A brooch

I may get fancy and add things to the cameo jewelry or I may just put the cameo on a pin, ring setting or chain. YOU DON’T KNOW! But I think it’ll look great! And you’ll have something I made myself! Double win! 

I’ll then make a twin of it and you and I will have a matching accessory. :) I may ask you to take a picture with it on a day I’m wearing mine and share it with the blog! Or you can request that I not make a twin and I’ll do something else with my version. 

TO WIN:

I will choose 1 winner randomly of the people who do one of the following:

• Follow Sinister Sartorialist
• Reblog this post

So if you follow me and you reblog this post you’ll be entered twice right there! 

The contest will end in one week, on Wednesday, May 2nd at 10PM. I’ll reblog this at least once a day in case people miss it and to give you more opportunities to reblog. :) 

Once a winner is selected, I will announce it on Sinister Sartorialist and message the winner so that can tell me their preferences and mailing address.

Kendall: A what?

Dr. Rocque: You have a..neurological difference that confers an exceptional advantage. But, you’re not alone. Everyone on this unit is just like you, Kendall.

Best. Crossover. Ever.

Uuugh, why is John such a goddamn saintly little martyr of a Gary Stu in like every fic I read? I’m genuinely starting to hate his character because of how he’s portrayed in fandom. It’s so fucking annoying.

Also, I think the show takes great pains to show that Sherlock is not the unfeeling robot he likes to pretend to be, and I would greatly appreciate it if people would not write him that way. And if it’s wrong for him to be mean to other people, please remember that it should also be wrong for people to be mean to him. These things work both ways. It upsets me when a character I like is only in a fic to be bashed (and usually under the guise of John wangst angst, at that).

Still celebrating over Mondo’s win! And I’m so glad Michael C made it to the final three instead of Kenley. (Hate her!)

Also, I don’t like Austin Scarlett and I don’t care who knows it. He annoys the everloving hell out of me.

Also, to the people who complain about spoilers: Block the tag, don’t go to the tag, or stay off the Internet for a little while, dumbasses. Stop whining. Nobody has any obligation to change what they’re doing to suit your desires. The world does not revolve around what you want.

WHY DID MONDO WIN.

When they critiqued austin they only said 1 bad thing. ONE. But for Mondo they said like three. What is this. This is not legit. Its not fair. More than one person said it looked like Austin took MONTHS making his collection. I personally think that counts as a big roll in…

“When they critiqued austin they only said 1 bad thing. ONE. But for Mondo they said like three”

Hon, it’s the editing. Those critiques are like, hours long, and they have to cut them down to a few soundbites. Usually you can tell who’s going to win by who’s shown getting criticized the most -ie Mondo. Michael C had little but praise in his segment, which was an instant tell that he was not going to win. It’s edited that way to throw people off.
