I'm finding more reasons to put off studying for my finals, which start tomorrow afternoon with my anatomy final and proceed to herbal science followed by herbal first aid. i also have to write two papers and make a first aid kit this week before we fly home to denver. woo hoo!
i'm working on two knit goods, on is a hat for hemlock*insert string of numbers i have yet to decode here* and one is for the head of my program at school so the junior and senior classes can add herbs to the bag i'm making to send her off with. she's leaving bastyr after this quarter. it's very sad indeed because she's a great herbalist and an even better person.
i'm going to leave it at this very boring point and get moving along to work on some stuff...maybe.

How do you pronounce your screen name? I have a nephew named Thadias. Is it similar, but with an F sound? Or am I way off? Just curious. When I think of my cyber space friends I like to be able to pronounce their screen name the correct way inside of my head while I am thinking. It's a really unusual name. Is it like the name of some great philosopher or something? Do write back soon.
In real life with my fleshy friends people sometimes mispronounce ElleBelle and call me Ellie Belly or Ellie Bell. It cracks me up. I don't have the heart to correct them because I've let it go on for too long- they'd be like wtf? Why didn't you tell me hella days ago? Most people just call me Ellie Or Elle. You pronounce my screen name like this: L Bell I'm sure most people already know that. I used to always go by PinkMbrella as a screen name for like 10 years on aol. Then I changed my aol account to PillowParty because I started selling the sexy time toys at parties. PinkMbrela is a euphanism for vagina. I got it from a Red Hot Chili Peppers song~ MellowShip Slinky in Bminor (or major) I forget. Anyway- I originally would have used PinkUmbrella, but at the time in like 1995/96 AOL would only let you have 10 letters in your screen name. I hate aol, but it is easy for me to navigate. I should just get a hotmail or yahoo account and suck it up. I am not sure if you can store old mail on there or not or keep some mail as new mail even after looking at it. I guess I just really like the convenience of aol. The only other thing I like about aol is the fact that it is easy for me to access my favorite sites. Anyway- I think I'll leave this message in your comments under your blog as well as here in the Dear______________, thread.

My Shaman burns this really gorgeous smelling wood called St. Johns or Georges or something or another. I wrote her an email a couple weeks ago to explain to her that I haven't been able to come to our last journey because my head hasn't been right for awhile. Anyway- when I wrote to her I asked her what the wood was and she responded, but now I am having trouble retrieving that email. Suck. It left such a lasting impression on my olfactory.
Anyway- my head is somewhat straightened out right now because Nurse Ratched uped my meds. Are you old enough to get that cultural referance? She's the nurse from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest staring Jack Nichelson. I need to go see my shaman for our last journey. She's fan fucking tastic. My psychiatrist hooked me up with her. She was an anthropologist for 30+ years before becoming a shaman practitioner. She's led me on 3 journeys so far. It's pretty trippy. Actually the first time I saw her she did a de-possession on me because I had 2 spirits attached to me. I knew for years about the one. It was soooo f*ing trippy when she did the de-possessions. I'll never forget it.
I hope you ended up studying.
Love and Much Light, Ellebelle
