Hump Day List Post

Virgo:: Say the following words aloud, please: "Give it to me raw!" How does it make you feel when you allow that demand to come out of your mouth? I hope it fills you with a sense of playful power. If you're in alignment with cosmic influences, "Give it to me raw!" is a pithy embodiment of your proper relationship with the world. Now try these corollary statements: "I want the full blast of purity! Don't hold anything back! Serve me up the maximum dose! I want the elixir of life, not the hors d'oeuvres! Bless me with the whole truth and nothing but! I'm in love with the flood, not the trickle!"

So many dirty things I could say to that, really.

1. Got Psyche done last night! And really, I'm thrilled to see how it turned out. I had Sarah help me with sizing it last night, and I can honestly say it's one of those pieces that really comes to life once it touches skin. Two layers of silver-lined glass, freshwater pearl, silver bead caps, silver wire, plus an opaque pink opal pendant-- completely hand-linked, it took me nearing four hours to complete. But it's shiny and glowy-- it was greeted with lots of oohs and aahs. And it'll be heading off to lizrocks tomorrow morning.

2. Got an incredible care package from Joy on Monday. Really, really lovely. As a backstory, Joy and I didn't really know each other in college. She directed me in Something's Afoot, but other than that, we didn't have a friendship. Long story short, she moved to California, and through the magic of the internet, we became friends and have been exchanging letters and care packages. In Monday's package-- a wonderful letter written on stationary from the Mucha museum in Prague (she didn't know that some of my favorite stationery comes from there-- Aster even brought me some back when she visited!), two handcarved figurines representing solitude and love, a celestial mirror that Dixie and I will hang downstairs, and a beautiful treasure reliquary full of beads! It was all wrapped in beautiful handmade paper, twine, ribbon, and tags full of quotes. Really, quite extroardinary. I'm excited that I get to hug Joy in person for it!

3. Dinner with Brandie / sylfae & Bart went really well on Monday. Brandie cooks a mean veggie Indian chickpea and masala dish. The boys geeked out about D&D (Bart's sitting in on Sky's next session), and Brandie and I talked about... other things. Ahem. And there were blondies! A good time was had by all.

4. I have decided that if I ever write my memoirs, they will be entitled 'Straight Girl Flypaper.'

5. California tickets purchased!

6. Got hit on by the conductor of a moving metro train yesterday. I think that's a first. It's like getting yelled at from the driver's side of a pickup truck, only cubed.


... and that's all I got today.

Bart's journal is wren2robin. I am totally random in the posting, but he is worse :)

Danke, cherie!

Ya know, if Brandie is gonna make that veggie Indian chickpea and masala dish again, I wouldn't mind being invited to share it!

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she would send you the recipe if asked.

[youvebeenpixied.livejournal.com]

I have left overs! Come on down! Or up! Or over! I have no idea where you are!

Yay! I work in Crystal City (near DC) and live 'way out in Purcellville (near West Virginia).

Hey, my grandma lives near Purcellville! A bit farther up into the mountains though, closer to WV... :)

I'm sure that #3 had nothing to do with #4, did it? ::grin::

No! 'Cause Brandie's not straight, silly!

[reedrover]

::laugh:: I was looking at the statement Brandie and I talked about... other things as a lead-in line.

[youvebeenpixied.livejournal.com]

I love other things :)

[youvebeenpixied.livejournal.com]

Are you accusing me of being straight? I am offended! :P

[reedrover]

::laugh:: No, indeed. I wouldn't dare accuse you of anything like that! You might decide to withhold your glorious smile forever and ever, and I might well perish from the lack!

That is impressive, seriously.

I think it is the devine magic of bright pink fae hair. It drives men, and straight girls, wild. Heh.

Care packages are love and, in light of work/people maddness, I think it came at just the right time.

Will e-mail you soon about new commisions.

Eve is 1/2 done, BTW. Will be sent on Friday!

YAY! Can't wait!
