funny how our minds and bodies are so ready for summer before it begins and then ready for winter in the same way eh?
i do miss the rainy winters in the pacific northwest though, that wet weather is perfect for coffee shops and pubs and fires
i always loved the feeling of walking into a pub/coffee shop (not starbucks, the local cozy places) and feeling the rain slide off my head and dry as i drank and read a book. somehow that feeling just can't be replicated when it's warm out.
i hear there's a big derby tourney being planned out your way in feburary as well. perhaps if luck and time and cash provide the opportunity, i will finally get to experience eugene, ahhh a girl can dream...
i'm ready for winter, i love how everything just kind of slows down that time of year, and i do have a soft spot for warm sweaters and clothing in general

haha yeah i actually feel the same way, work is work and derby is a second job that i love and i don't get paid for, since october/november is when things begin to wind down, i'm definitely looking forward to fall/winter and some serious time with my paintbrushes and sadly neglected paint tubes.

if i can find a way to afford the time off work and the plane ticket up there, you got yourself a deal i'd love to introduce you to derby and a pretty awesome local team if i do say so myself....

ha well ya gotta make the most out of that kinda situation huh? it's everyday your eye gets "diddled" with surgical instruments

I totally thought the same thing. Must find out who she is....

thank you
and yeah, not anti-relationship and the naked time is always a plus, i'm just so stretched think on time right now between work and derby and other stuff, i really really treasure the little time i have to just "be" whether it's painting, reading, listening to music, trying to not kill the herb garden i've started or the other plants i'm hoping to "rescue", or just kind of sitting and enjoying silence for a while. i guess i just feel somehow more centered within myself than i have in a long time, and with that, comes less of a need to rely on other people for any of that

hullo stranger <3333

You're back!!! Welcome back... and thank you.

I love Tom Robbins so no problems there and Hesse will definitely be placed on my list. That movie ^ looks interesting. I will have to drag my sister out to see it.

haha the date of the post and video were actually a happy accident
glad to see ya back, i missed yer face around these divinely crass parts.

i always miss you when you pull these disappearing acts! welcome back!

We are just getting used to it.

What's up brother?

Yes, it usually is................i guess i should have added: and not in the good way.

Yes, mine was not, i was exhausted in every way possible from them.

aw thanks. losing pets is so hard. i'm just thankful i found a good home for him in the meanwhile, and hopefully things will change soon. at least i still get to keep my kitty
i hope you have a wonderful and blessed new year!

yep it's an older painting, but it's mine. i actually just downloaded a bunch of older work into my art folder finally, which reminds me i have 2-3 unfinished art babies that need to be finished i miss being in college and having hours to paint. i used to sneak in the studios around 9 or 10 at night knowing they locked the buildings at 11, and i would stay up painting for hours and then watch the sunrise.....hmmm those were the days.
as far as your "human puppies" it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job with them trying tho they may be.
