vw, that's gorgeous!

Thank you!

vw, I forgot to tell you--I made my massage appointment. I go in on Tuesday! I have lost 15 pounds (well, 14) and it's my reward and I'm very excited. Thanks for giving me the inspiration!

YAY!

D'ya think she could have said "It's not fucking SPINNING?"

UGH! How frustrating!

Because I seem (I first spelled seam! Ha!) to only be able to talk about one thing right now…I’m home from my little trip to the quilt shop. I got a lovely black flannel fabric for the back of my quilt, the batting, and the necessary thread. The women at the shop loved the quilt top and were so surprised I was done with it already! Go me! Also, I spent a little more on backing fabric than I normally would, because I went with the soft flannel, so I must not think it’s unworthy after all :)

After sending off the lovely EllenS, who come over for a sleepover after a day yesterday wandering the streets of Salem, going to the Peabody Essex Museum, and then watching Veronica Mars, today was spent doing reading for tomorrow night's class (which I finished) and listening to my mom's cousin's 2 20-something sons clean out our asphalt and tar clogged gutters who REFUSED TO TAKE ANY MONEY FOR IT.

I am scheming to figure out a nice gift for them.

Tom is cooking and doing laundry (vw-we're doing the beef skewers with the peanut sauce!)

YUM!

That reminds me, I need to schedule our Phase 2 dinner! Must chat with Emily and find a good date.

Oh, also, I finished my reading for class while on the train today. So, I was all multi-purpose and stuff!

Our wings are not tired.

It doesn't hurt like a needle.

I'm too spooked by it to ever find this out. (I do have 2 holes in each ear, but in the soft lobe part) No tattoos.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Three tats, and the last one hurt the most, cause of the going over already inked skin to fill in. (All of my tats are blackwork.)

Still, bearable.

If I got anything pierced, it'd be my navel. But with my current curvetted belly, I'm afraid looking for it might turn into another King Solomon's Mines expitdition: "I SWEAR there are gems here! We must fight our way to them!! FORWARD, men!!"

Nora: 20-something sons? Get 'em a gift cert for the best pizza place in town. And/or a couple of sixers of a good microbrew, if they're of-age.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Fun weekend. I went to a Chinese New Year party, had a blast. It was held by ex-GF (i.e. AS), with whom I have stayed friends. For the last month she's been going out with this guy that basically causes her great upset, but that she can't stop thinking about. I appear to have become her sounding board/therapist, which is funny since said guy is an actual therapist. Anyway, they broke up about a week ago, but she still invited him to the CNY party. I actually liked having him there, it provided just that extra impetus to make me relaxed enough to do the life of the party thing. (He seems a nice enough guy if you're not actually dating him.)

But of course, AS is discovering that a bit of space just after an emotionally charged break-up is a Good Thing if you don't want your feelings all a-tangle. Ah well. Meanwhile, my nephew and his girlfriend are staying with us for a couple of nights. They attended a big concert yesterday; impressive line-up, included Franz Ferdinand, the White Stripes, and Iggy Pop and the Stooges.

Other news, I spent the weekend helping out at a gaming convention. I got time to play a couple of games too, they were lots of fun. Running the games wasn't as enjoyable, there was one player who didn't cope with failure too well, you could say. But it's still good.

And in addition, of the two women I have been corresponding with, the one who's never met anyone over the internet before has not replied to my email of last Tuesday. Bad interneophyte! No biscuit! But the other one has sent me her phone number. Huzzah! (She wants to know why guys always like Doctor Who. Apparently the monsters are too ugly for her.)

Unless, like the woman who married a dolphin, you have a tendresse for the marine life.

See, with seal salt and this, I start thinking about selkies...

Is there a standard gauge for cartilage piercings?

No, but unless she's specifically stretched them, it's probably a pretty small (er, high number) gauge. (I have five--I think mine are all 18?)

It doesn't hurt like a needle.

Heh. Wellllll....

Though I actually thought they hurt less than the lobe piercings, when happening, they just hurt for longer, cause they take longer to heal.

Note, though I have enjoyed experiencing other (lip, tongue, nipple) piercings on other people, I only have piercings in my ears.
