Hi evilE,

Thanks. It wasn't like [skye_ds] and I were best friends
or even good friends but she always seemed
interesting. Besides, I am seriously interested in
riding again so this could work out well for both or
us. I have been asking the universe to provide a
friend or acquaintance with horses.

You should have asked why she was surprised I would
have been interested to know. :) I was also kind of
wondering what [skye_ds] had thought my interests were
and how I came up in conversation but I am too
curious for my own good. I guess I spent too many
lives as a cat but it is always interesting to know
how other people see you.

I appreciated your LJ comment. That was a good
point. I guess I will go deal with my relationship
in person instead of airing our issues on LJ. That
is always a better choice anyway. I guess I just
felt like he chose the venue when he posted what he
did.

Wish me luck.

Yeah, I remembered that you wrote something in your LJ
about wanting to ride, and that's why I mentioned you
to her. She didn't regale me with any tales from the
old days or anything, so I have no idea why she was
surprised to hear you wanted to re-acquaint yourself
with her. Maybe because, as you say, you weren't all
that close at UT and both of you consider yourselves
to be so dull & forgettable--which is SO not true of
*either* of you...but that's something you'll have to
learn for yourself if you're going to believe it. :P

OTOH, skye_ds doesn't seem to forgive or forget
anything from her past (even things I don't remember
happening as she says they did!). One day in class you
probably criticized her interpretation of "Ode on a
Grecian Urn" and she's never gotten over it.

I really hope you & roninjedi & Nikiyoy & whatsername get
things worked out. You're all decent humans & deserve
good & happy things :)

TGIF!!!

XO!

2186me to J-Law, re work etc

To: "J-Law 



The entire support staff of my unit called in
today--these are the people who answer the phone,
index scanned docs, and process decisions. So now we
have to to that in addition to our regular tasks.

On top of that, everyone who IS here wasted the
morning mooing over Nasty Talk Down Lady who is
preggo. 8-10 weeks along and I don't think she'll ever
show. She weighs 300 lbs already; I shudder to think.

This is the woman who has a 10 year old boy from a
previous marriage, the poor kid is already pushing 200
lbs on a steady diet of McDs and Lunchables. I think I
told you about how she bought fruit ONCE last year or
so, and was complaining about how expensive it is and
how the child just INHALED it. Could it be because
despite the obesity of her, her new hub, and the
child, the kid is desperately malnourished and his
body craves the fiber and nutrients in Real Food?

Anyway, this Paragon of Humanity is squirting out
another one & is wasting everyone's time babbling
about it. It'll only get worse. Hopefully she's in
such bad shape that the Dr. will put her out on bed
rest for the majority of her pregnancy.

Headphones = on
Volume =WAY up

*sigh* ARGH.

PS to Yahoo journal: was out till after 11 with Air Coolers & then
Sweetie played my favorite bedroom game ("throw my covers on the floor
and steal E's) so I was pretty tired when I got up. Then I get here
and there's all this hoo-ha over the preggo & nobody's fuckin' here
to do their damn jobs. URGH!

  Lyrics are from a William Blake poem, read by a male actor whose
  voice I recognize but I can't place exactly who it is. It came up on
  my launchcast, made me cry.
  
  ======
  Poem by William Blake
  
  O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue
  To drown the throat of war! When the senses
  Are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness,
  Who can stand? When the souls of the oppressed
  Fight in the troubled air that rages, who can stand?
  When the whirlwind of fury comes from the
  Throne of God, when the frowns of his countenance
  Drive the nations together, who can stand?
  When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
  And sails rejoicing in the flood of Death;
  When souls are torn to everlasting fire,
  And friends of Hell rejoice upon the slain,
  O who can stand? O who hath caused this?
  O who can answer at the throne of God?
  The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it!
  Hear it not, Heaven, thy Ministers have done it!

SkyeDS: no weekend plans (which is good)
evile: Yeah, gotta have 'me time'
SkyeDS: I can't reply to onyxlynxx's email :( it keeps bouncing back at
me. from both tex1.net and hotmail
evile: How annoying!!
evile: Yahoo may be having issues (?)
SkyeDS: you don't happen to have her phone number? or msging info?
(aim, yahoo, msn, icq)
SkyeDS: I could'nt find her on the Members in the poly list.
SkyeDS: her addy was an ev1.net addy
evile: Her ICQ is 321943124. she's under onyxlynxx.
evile: I think onyxlynxx is her yahoo ID also
SkyeDS: cool. I'll find her that way. I'm persistent :)
evile: awesome .
SkyeDS: got lots of responses on the trailer, hopefully I'll be able
to sell it outright or rent to own it and be rid of it one way or
another (preferable to renting it indefinitely)
evile: excellent :)
evile: Shoulda stood in bed today--all our support staff is out AND
one of my fellow notice writers is knocked up so there has been NO
work done today
SkyeDS: good thing it's friday!
evile: Personally, I've been very productive. Quota done by 11.
evile: I'm very glad for the upcoming weekend & for my vacation. I
really need a break.
evile: No idea what to pack...I should probably try and find out what
the weather's like up there right now.
SkyeDS: I joined umpteen million new ngs yesterday. general
ansteorra list (kingdom of tx & ok), ansteorra eq and scawitches.
SkyeDS: weather checks are good
SkyeDS: I can't believe after a lifetime of camping and more than a
decade of eventing that I forgot before last weekend
SkyeDS: and boy did I pay for my uncharacteristic stupidity too.
evile: It happens.
evile: Looks like lows in the 30s and highs in the 60s for the next
week in Browning. And rain. I'm bringing things to read...
SkyeDS: and extra pairs of dry clean socks, some Wellie rubbers from
Walmart or wherever, and longjohns (thermal undies)
evile: heh.
evile: It should be an adventure...
SkyeDS: adventures for which one is prepared, are awesome
evile: One of my LJ 'friends' is coming from Dallas on Saturday. We
might do lunch or something. Saturday evening is the trainride/movie
thing, and then Sunday some of the poly group was talking about going
to Hippie Hollow.
SkyeDS: never been there.
evile: It was a long time ago for me. Like....I was 9 or 10 kind of
long time ago.
evile: These days they don't let under 18 in to the park...
SkyeDS: ack. my post did not go through this morning.
SkyeDS: oh yeah, that lawsuit
evile: Hm. There may be some sort of hardware issue on your end, then?
SkyeDS: some guy took his kids and someone had issues with the kids
being naked around naked grownups and there was a lawsuit
evile: Yay for the guardians of our morality.
evile: Mixed feelings for me--I hate kids and I'm glad there are at
least a FEW places I can go where I won't be trampled by sprogs,
BUT...that sort of thing ought to be for the parents' good judgement
(not that most breeders have anything of the sort)
SkyeDS: zactly
SkyeDS: I hope the rest of my emails went out this morning
SkyeDS: I had half a dozen inquiries on the trailer.
evile: *sigh* It's a slippery slope thing, everywhere you
look. "Well, that piece of legislation is invasive and obnoxious, but
HEY, it doesn't affect ME, so I'll ignore it"
SkyeDS: oh WAIT
SkyeDS: duh
SkyeDS: it's moderated
SkyeDS: oh well
SkyeDS: I responded twice
SkyeDS: Hangs Head
evile: Oh...I'm sur e that happens all the time, no biggie. Just
watch for bounces on the other stuff, I guess.
SkyeDS: I haven't checked my coven group since before Giornata
(beltane) oh well.
evile: RL must take precedence.
SkyeDS: I could have, I just didn't. Not till I am in a frame of
mind where I won't go biochemically insane and overreact to the
hurtfulness.
evile: yuck. That doesn't sound like a very good learning environment
at all...its one thing to be challenged, but another to feel attacked.
SkyeDS: I still need to write to Amberlyn and ask for imput other
than chirping of crickets to the last three essays I posted months ago
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: was requested to clean up Hugh's desk.
evile: aha.
SkyeDS: which constitutes basically straightening up piles.
SkyeDS: so I divided stuff up into client piles and not client piles
evile: sounds good.
SkyeDS: no point in filing anything because then he'll just dig it
all back out again.
evile: heh. this is true.
evile: I'm starting to think the email issue may be with Yahoo...My
yahoo mail hasn't gotten anything new since this a.m.--very unusual.
SkyeDS: I don't know if yahoo has aything to do with mail going from
tex1.net or hotmail to ev1.net
SkyeDS: I'm innclined to think it's an ev1.net problem
SkyeDS: although no doubt yahoo has problems too
evile: *sigh* very irritating.
SkyeDS: woohoo, filing to walk down to the courthouse
SkyeDS: think I'll eat first
evile: sounds like a plan. is it still muggy out? it was this morning.
SkyeDS: probably so.
evile: ick.
evile: yahoo is having major issues over here. Could just be my
machine...nothing's working.
SkyeDS: hugh says no problems getting his mail from yahoo today.
evile: go fig.
evile: looks like I may have to reboot.
SkyeDS: gl
evile: thanks. If you're gone to the courthouse when I'm back online,
have a nice walk!
SkyeDS: ty!
