so, as promised, the drag bingo tale. actually, the evening was fun, but not exactly wildness. basically it is standard bingo, but the callers are drag queens and it serves as a fundraiser for the local aids service organization. i have done alot of work in public health with hiv/stds, so i try to stay involved. they hold the event regularly, but i was especially...

Ever see that scene in Ace Ventura where he's so afraid of bats, and has to go into that cave full of bats and he comes running out like a spaz swatting all over his body and screaming, "THEY'RE IN MY HAIR!!! THEY'RE IN MY HAIR!!!"?
It's like that.

Ha, you asked for an opinion so here it is....
CHAIN MAIL underwear...... It solves all problems. I swear it does. Chain mail is way cool, tough, gives off the right look, support, and protection. It fits under clothes, its easily repairable (some pliers and a dog collar), totally customizable (remove a few links here, add a few there) will last forever, easy to clean, and it gives the wearer +2 to charisma and armor class. Airport security could pose a small problem, but at least you would give them something to talk about for a couple decades, and just think of the eye candy factor alone.
Its something to consider
Sunshine rules!
As far as the New Year sadness goes, just remember if you get feeling down, that you have an army of friends behind you wishing you well, being there just for you. Close your eyes and just think of the awesome power that is, to know that all of us are there in spirit to help you thru the tough times my dear. Its a wonderful feeling isnt it?
Peace to you and yours, hope to hear from you soon.

today is one of those days where i feel oh so dull - not necessarily boring, but literally without edges ... not sharp. this morning i poked my neck and stomach with pointy scissors in an act of sensation seeking. *pokepoke* it was pleasant, but not exactly rousing. even my dear chum green tea only produced a mild lift. this whole relocation thing is more...

What an amazing entry! I too believe that space takes on the lingering vibrations of the spirits that occupied it. Cleansing and blessing space is an essential part of my new year's rituals. This year, I hope to purchase some space of my very own, but I'm also scared of all that will entail. How a space feels will be a major factor in my decision. Your words are so beautiful.
Samosas are the best!! There is a tea shop that I sometimes frequent that makes the most amazing samosas. I'm going to learn to make them this year, as I have found a recipe from Madhur Jaffery, which I can't wait to try! (Told you I was a foodie. I read cookbooks like other people devour fiction. Teehee!)
I do love the fae and all the nature spirits, but they are dangerous to call on, so I just admire them from a distance. The words are the Brahma Gayatri mantra. To hear it sung is pure bliss. Basically, it translates as:
We meditate on the transcendental glory of the Deity Supreme, who is inside the heart of the earth, inside the life of the sky, and inside the soul of Heaven. May He stimulate and illumine our minds.
Hope that you have a bright and blessed new year.
PS- Could I join your friends list?

Yummyyummy!!! I can't wait to try this recipe. I see tuna salad sandwiches in my future. Teehee! This recipe makes me think of the yummy little savory sandwishes that one would make for a proper tea. Tea party at stari's house! Whoot!

To quote Karl from Slingblade - "I like the way you talk". But seriously, you're a good writer from only the little i've seen above. And after all you quoted a Bowie movie which is always an added bonus. And yes, the passion of a relationship early on is often something I miss as well.
You reminded me that Babes in Toyland was once one of my fav bands. So, so long ago. Do you like Daisy Chainsaw too?
And your ex-piercings sounds a lot like me too.
They probably do have a SGNC. There's one for nearly every state. Have safe Holiday Season! *hearts sqp*

I love that line, it so true!
I know how you feel sweety, "Crazy Love" can be so hot AND make you so sad! Mine was named Lilith, You figure that the name alone would have clued me in, but Noooo kelly loves her drama and is happy until she's hurt.
I think i've raved enough for a first post

it is too late for night and too early for morning - isn't this supposedly sleep time. or at least, be awake for a better reason than sleeplessness time. but alas ...
thanks for the good thoughts on the ol' lip ring idea. i checked it out, and it would be allowed, but frowned upon.
ahhh, well, that is why one checks these things, no?...

yay moving! we're moving the 30th.
and yes, slang, variant english, or non-standard english does indedd have rules. That's why when they have the big joke of the white guy trying to speak jive it's funny- it's not just incorrect grammer, it's a different set of rules.
there are etymologies of many slang or new words. there are whole dictionaries of them. in terms of study of the grammer structures,I think those exist too, but are mnore difficult to find, since they are heavier reading.
reading grammer books is great for learning gramatical terms, but not so great for actual patterns. the formal study of grammer is actually more difficult than just knowing what's correct. Most of us already do.
I think reading is the best way to learn grammer- reading anything. you learn the rules indirectly.
second best is the study of a foreign language. then you have to learn grammatical terms.
happy holidays!
I know how you feel about wanting a sort of new years change. I need to re-dye my roots...

one day of grading until freedom - woohoo! i am contemplating some celebratory body art. now, the question is, to lip ring or not to lip ring? whether tis better in the lip's center to suffer the pulls and needles of outrageous self decoration ... heh, it all comes back to hamlet after all.

Sorry to hear about the kaputski of the dating interest. Always hate it when that happens. Of course when it does, I usually want to launch into the Queen Mab speech: "Oh then I see Queen mab hath been with you..." and be all accusatory. But that's me.
And the mention of Ophelia always makes me think of the Dylan song, "Desolation Row."
Lip rings are quite sexy when pared with the right lips. I'm sure it'll go over well. Or like a lead balloon. Either/or.
Good luck on the grading.

I dunno about the sinus thing. I had my nose peirced three times, but none of them were in for longer than a year and a half. mine didn't work out too well because I discovered that I am allergic to a lot of metals. also I think, ten years ago + i didn't clean them as frequently as I aught to have. plus they were peirced with an ear peircing gun, which my pro peircing friends all wince and flinch when I mention...
maybe if you got a real small stud sortof a bar to wear at work for the lip ring. I dunno. I'm not alowed to have anything except earrings since I work in a nursing home. I don't think I'd want to deal with the old folks reactions anyway, because It would be harder to be sympathetic to them, and that's pretty much my job.
I always used to know one or two people who magically were able to finess their way around their jobs dress code, but usually it depended alot on the manager involved, and it was usually a record store or a coffee shop.
yay freedom! sorry about the dating thing.
oh and I forgot to add-- oh, yeah, capoeira's great. It's such a huge part of my life, and it's so hard to summarize. Yay looking capoeira up!

uhhhhhh - had fun on saturday (into sunday) and have been sooo tired/icky ever since. will have to troll around and enjoy other people's thoughts. bleh. 
Tammy Faye is going to be on the "surreal life" show with vanilla ice, which should be a hoot.
And as far as the guy that put his mitts on ya, well, it wasnt you that caused him to bolt........ I confess it was my many minions stitched into your sweater. They report directly to me (you know, the whole King of Skulls thing) and they used their incredible telepathic power to give him a mental wedgie by my command.
I couldn't resist......sorry.
Oh, you should wear that sweater more often lol, preferably with some chain mail.
God how I wish that wasn't just a delusion on my part, sigh.
I am so glad that you got out and had a good time; it was well earned on your part after the move and all.
Thanks for the kind words in my journal, your posts always make my day a lot brighter.
Peace.
