Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
So, yeah, I think about rain a lot here. More than before I had it.
This is a water-aware place. See: large body of water immediately to the south. Still, rain has importance. Maybe not so much where you are with the richness of it. Vancouver, of which we've spoken much, rain not so much a weather effect, as like a breathing effect.
My photographic evidence failed to capture anything that looked vaguely like a representation. I'll keep trying once I take the latest bandage off but I am waning in my hopes.
Know that there are those out in the world who would encourage your hopes. Representation would be of the good, say (one of those voices: representing) we.
And like that.
Hello Bitches. Sorry. Had to skippy skippy past a gazillion posts. Hope all is well. Just poking my head up from a long, frantic week at work. Still kinda frantic, but at least I'm at home in the evening.
Aimee, could you do your magic and smite our designers for the latest show. Just for general reasons. Too many to list. Let's just say, I almost killed today, and considering I am a pacifist, that is saying a lot! I resorted to saying "I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar." It helped. A little.
It's just ... weird that it is so water aware here. I have lived in deserts all my life, really. And, okay, SoCal is just a huge snorfling bully that steals without caring but I've lived in more deserts than that.
Here? Water for days and still people notice it. It's ... so cute. Though, there is less stress about rationing it and more focus on keeping it clean.
Environment is big here. I like that in a place to live.

Best picture I got? When the bandage swung back over the desecration... I must have summoned a god of Thou Shalt Not JPG!
Cass, what I find really fascinating is that I've been going through the opposite adjusting from a water-everywhere environment to a desert. I like different too. I miss the water, though. Not so much that I need to move to it, but I revel in the rain here in a way I never did back home.

This was me. My perception of water now is so different than it was before.
Also, YAY tattoo! I'm itching to get my next one.
Also also, YAY JohnSweden! Haven't seen you around in ages! How are you?
Also also also, sorry about the evil design team, omnis.

Word. The lake is a big cheat here, makes the weather so much better often. Sucketh for the Buffalonians, but hey, y'know. (Sorry to Sophia, who probably gets Buffalo-ish weather of times.)

Me? Lurky, mostly. But around, LJ and here, as much as I can be. Doing okay, thanks. (The winter thing, you remember the dark of it -- we gots that going on wholecloth.) Still, y'know, bastard groundhog liar said two more weeks of winter, and that will be true even (in Mid-April). Seriously though, doing just fine. You hanging in there?

Different is not bad. Who knows where you will find home. You might go from a lush landscape where you are left gasping for air and find happiness in the sparsest of lands.
So... Did we know tattoos hurt? Because I feel I should have been warned given narcotics.

Um. That's what the drinking afterwards tradition is for. You really should have done this with Buffistas and not flouted tradition et al. Ibu not doing the trick?
The after is just itchy right now. Irritated but not horrible.
I just have a needle thing (anxiety!) and a pain thing (pain!) and so the actual act? Not beautiful music.
From the glimpses I have stolen, totally worth it. Just not fun in itself.

Did your tattooist tell you the hot washcloth trick? Soak a washcloth in water as hot as you can stand, then wring out the washcloth and put it over your tattoo. It helps with the itching.
I can't wait to see your tattoo!

My buddy who has this cool medieval cross thing on his back experienced this. Plus he left potato imprints of his tattoo all over the bedding I loaned him when he and his gf crashed at my place after. You know, in school, when you use a potato to make a stamp of [image], then leave it everywhere. Yeah, we mocked him. With friends like these, blah blah ...
