Have been watching "Extreme Forensics" with my mummy for the past four hours (it's marathon, and we are being lazy). On the latest episode: seems there's this bloke who's suspected of killing the elderly. Suspect-bloke is suspect-y because he is, evidently, weird, likes reading dark novels and wears a lot of black clothing.

I'm all, "WTF? I'm weird. I read dark novels. I wear a lot of black clothing."



Mummy gives me A Look. She says, "Yes, u are very suspect-y. You'd totally be profiled if there were a crime and you might be involved. Cuz you are weird and you read dark novels and wear lots of black."

And also because, apparently, I've told her that I would like black skulls for my birthday.

(To be fair, those black skulls are candles -- $7.99 - $9.99 at HomeSense -- and they are glittery. They smell like bumbleberry pie when lit. I think they are very pretty.)

(Erm... And I'd also like to take this opportunity to inform you lot that I volunteer at soup kitchens, knit mittens for homeless people, bake cookies for most major holidays (even those I don't celebrate), still believe in Santa Claus despite all evidence contrary to his existence, and sing ABBA tunes in the shower. If that doesn't scream not-potentially-suspect-y, then I don't know what does.)

(Just saying.)
