Unnatural Behavior
I couldn't sleep last night, and I woke up on my own at 07:45. I wouldn't say that I'm exactly cheerful, but I'm awake and that's more than I can usually say about this hour, let alone what I do when I clearly remember still being awake at 03:30.
I have no idea how I'm going to get my keys to Khorboth so he can take care of Yuri on Saturday. I want to go back to sleep, but I only have about 90 minutes before I have to leave here, and in that time I have to clean up the cat stuff.

New Discovery. Old Song
Thanks Robb. Now I need to borrow everything of theirs that you own so I can hear it all.

Unreasonable and Unusual
I find myself craving to go get a new body mod.
Tongue piercing? Some other piercing? (No, not there.)
My first tattoo? (Maybe something other than my well-planned "most-practical-tattoo-ever!")
CRAZY haircut/dye job? (Yes, that counts as a body mod to me.)
*sigh* No moneys.

I <3 Life
I'm slightly high on my meds. I feel good. I'm at House Silver doing a mountain of laundry, ignoring the flooring guy installing the golden oak hardwood. I get to pick up T from the airport in a few hours. Tomorrow I'm running game of my favorite geeks, then celebrating Lady Meatloaf's birthday. Then *blush* I'm spending the night with a man who says he loves me. And that makes for an excellent weekend.
What you you doing this weekend?

Castles in the Clouds
To fantasize. To dream. To look at a future that we cannot know, and build upon it. To plan events on dates that will eventually come and go without fan fair. To choose names for babies not even conceived. To shop for dresses we'll never buy and look at houses we'll never have. To choose the colors of walls and flowers and automobiles. To caress stationary and sigh over signatures. To justify. To argue internally. To set goals and focus purpose and imagine possibility. To wish. To long. To create alternate futures. To be optimistic. To release grounding and reality.
I've played with baby names on and off since I was a teenager. I've decorated entire houses time and time again. I've planned romantic nights and marriage proposals and run-away businesses. I've planned weddings with men with out faces. I've designed a nursery & picked a midwife without a pregnancy. I've asked about the cost of hosting events at venues that make my heart throb even though I have nothing to plan and no fund to plan with. I've written speeches I'll never have to give, vows no one wants, and poetry about futures that are, in reality, too nebulous to believe in.
My current dream, whose details I tweak as I'm drifting to sleep, is a party where I'm the guest of honor. I see it hosted in a Victorian mansion, (Tuscan ballroom, candlelit rose garden) with soft piped in instrumental music. I see my friends and family dressed in elegant formal wear. I see myself (& my beloved, my child, my friend) making an entrance in burgundy and gray (mint green & navy, black & white). We announce ... something ... and are greeted with humor, (congratulations, shock, anger, delight).
Have you ever sat and dreamed about something that you knew there was no way to bet on? Have you ever carefully constructed every detail of a fantasy that it wasn't safe to believe in? Have you ever wept for the dream that you finally had to release, even though you always knew it wasn't going to happen? What was your dream?

Behind the Times
I know that it shows how behind the times I am, but it still tickles me every time I do something like this. "Like what," you ask? Like sit in a parking lot with no power outlet and no one home where I'm supposed to be and screw around on the internet.

HELP!
A friend of mine and her two children are in a bad way. Her S/O is abusing her and she
needs out NOW. She has a place and is filing a restraining order on Friday, so her move
needs to take place *all at once* on Saturday.
The move is from around 10th & Sheridan in Denver to Littleton near Bowls & C-470. They
plan to rent a truck and start the move at 09:00 on Saturday June 6. They aren't sure
how many people will be able to help or how many friends with pick-ups will be able to
show, but any and all help is welcome and probably needed.
We're calling out all players for this, from historians and computer geeks, to bikers and
leather-men, so come with an open mind to rescue a damsel in distress.
If you can come please respond with your contaact information (comments are screened) and I'll call or email you the specifics. Thank you SOOOO much.

Crafty!
I have been working on the same *expletive* cross stitched quilt panel for the past two years. I haven't made anything crafty and fun that challenged me and brought me joy since I made Jellyfish's baby quilt. on Sunday I went to a an angora show and fiber fair at the Colosseum, and found myself the proud owner of two beautiful hanks of yarn. Then Mme. Meatloaf and I went to a fancy pants yarn shop, Indian food, then Joanne's Fabrics. In case that hadn't covered the gamut of fiber sources, upon retiring to Meatloaf manor, the Lady snagged materials out of her stash and proceeded to show me how to knit. Again.
Knitting may have taken this time, since by this afternoon I had taught myself to cast off since I was all out of the pretty yuarn she gave me. I'll need to block it, but I made a little scarf, 4" by 45", in stockinette, and I didn't mess it up too badly.
Now I'm up at 02:30 playing with a fancy crochet stitch with an soft idea of using some of my inherited yarn in combination with this beautiful silvery angora to may a lacy shawl...
No. I'm not done with the fucking quilt panel yet. I'll get back to it. Eventually. It's not like Li'l Bro will care about the delay.

As I Said Then, "Woo!"
So, I think the person who took this video in October was standing about 2 rows in front of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ajrbarton , tropical_fox and the rest of us. I'm mostly sure those "woo's" you hear aren't me. They cant' be. I cried all the way through this song. Gods, I love music that makes me weep.
Check it OUT, this guy has a bunch of video from the concert. I love the Denver song.
Also, I <3 Alan. Just sayin'

Public Service Announcement
If you or someone near you starts complaining of sudden hearing loss take them to a doctor or emergency room immediately. Do not assume that "Oh, it's just congestion related to this cold" or "it will go away in a day or so." In the case of sudden hearing loss it could be a number of nearly irrelevant things, but if it isn't; if it is actually a hearing problem, there is a very very small window of opportunity for the medical community to do anything about it. Small, as in 24 hours.
Why do I bring this up? You know that Lil Sis has some chronic health issues. As such she has a high tolerance for new symptoms that are merely inconvenient. When she found herself with pneumonia and influenza, the fact that she wasn't hearing much at all on one side didn't strike her as a world shattering symptom. It didn't begin to compare with, say, unexplainable unbearable pain in her stomach or the sudden onset of eye-popping migraine headaches, which she has never had before. The headaches, which started a few days after the hearing loss, actually caught Mom's attention. Unfortunately, but the time they got her into the doc she was on the road to immediate referrals to an audiologist and a ENT guy. The consensus? There is only about a 20% chance that she'll ever get the hearing back. So pay attention guys. Your hearing is precious, fragile, and if it is damaged the chance to heal it is very very small. If you notice a problem, please see someone right away. Please.

One Word
I stole this from bella_peligrosa
- Describe me in one word... just one single word. Positive or negative.
- Leave your word in a comment before looking at what words others have used.
- Then post this meme to your own journal, if you feel like it.
