evile: there you are! Happy Monday!
SkyeDS: .
SkyeDS: blah
evile: that good, eh?
SkyeDS: was there bad weather in Austin this weekend? rained a lot on
the ranch
evile: yup!
SkyeDS: :(
evile: didn't get everything done you planned, I guess?
SkyeDS: all but the roof
SkyeDS: and no caliche of course
evile: that's not so bad.
evile: Our picnic got rained out after we'd been there about 45 min,
but we retreated indoors to Dolce Vita for gelato, so it wasn't a
total loss.
SkyeDS: oh yum
evile: *nodnod* very much so!
evile: I heard a crazy rumor at Sharjinka's party...apparently the
word is Sweetie & I broke up. Bizarre.
SkyeDS: and where on earth would that have comde from
SkyeDS: I heard an even better rumor at CRW
SkyeDS: sineater and I are selling the ranch because neither of us have
jobs.
evile: Nobody will say where they heard it. Thax & Jinx both
asked me about it.
evile: Oh...that's a good one.
SkyeDS: people have nothing better to do than concoct stories, I
suppose
SkyeDS: I don't know, but how would Jinx or Thax hear anything
about Sweetie other than you?
evile: I guess. why would it make any diff? I have no interest in any
of the HFS children, other than they're pretty to look at.
SkyeDS: he doesn't run in any of their circles does he?
evile: they heard it from someone else, not me.
SkyeDS: but who would even know
evile: I know. it's wierd!
SkyeDS: I haven't talked to THax in months
SkyeDS: and today is the first time I've said anything to Jinx 
and gottten a response, to ask a question about what Rita's upset
about
SkyeDS: I dont' think sineater talks to Thax. I know he talks to Jinx.
SkyeDS: but I can't imagine what would give anyone that idea.
evile: *shrug* who the hell knows? Silly HFS people.
evile: Lord only knows what the rumor mill will spin about Jinx's
last party :)
SkyeDS: I suppose the stuff about the ranch might have come out of my
trying to rent my old place
SkyeDS: but that's quite a stretch
evile: *nod* it's like that game "telephone" we played in elementary
school
evile: Oh well, other than the rumor thing, I had a *great* weekend :)
SkyeDS: for a weekend where I did nothing but work, it was ok
evile: Well, sometimes ya gotta do that.
SkyeDS: yep, even when it's your parents showing up completely
unannounced to say, we don't care what you wanted to do this weekend,
we're going to work
SkyeDS: and that was all good and well, until Mom came into my
bedroom where I am plugged into heating pad and having naproxen for
breakfast, to tell me to cancel my plans next weekend. At which
point I said, nothing doing, and got a lecture on my priorities.
evile: ugh.
SkyeDS: my perspective is, I did not ask for, nor did I need, a shed.
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: therefore, I am not restructuring my priorities.
evile: nope.
evile: Next weekend is Labor DAy weekend. Might appeal to their sense
of safety, too many drunks on the road to be out driving. Save the
rest of the work for a better time, something like that?
SkyeDS: next weekend isn't LD weekend is it?
SkyeDS: I thought that was the first monday in Sept.
SkyeDS: next Monday is Aug. 30.
evile: And the monday after that is Labor day.
SkyeDS: no.
SkyeDS: they aren't coming back, I don't think
evile: yes...
SkyeDS: they want us to put the roof up this weekend, so that it gets
done as quickly as possible.
SkyeDS: they meant to have the roof up before they left and weather
didn't permit.
evile: oh, duh. I'm a week ahead of myself. nevermind.
SkyeDS: we're not supposed to cancel plans to see them, we're
supposed to cancel plans to put the roof up.
evile: aha.
SkyeDS: told them, when something's already paid for and no refund,
not cancelling it.
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: which was a slight fib
SkyeDS: but I don't like having my weekends rearranged for me
evile: no.
SkyeDS: it was a slight fib because it wasn't prepaid.
SkyeDS: AAA was.
evile: Yup, that's a big event. I would imagine you'd have to get in
a reservation or soemthing in advance.
SkyeDS: I felt ambushed this morning.
evile: ?
SkyeDS: to have her descend on me when I"m in bed in pain, which is
why I said it was already paid for and therefor couldn't be cancelled.
SkyeDS: when fact is, I could cancel, but I"m not gonna, and I don't
want to have to defend myself.
evile: Are you still at home, then?
SkyeDS: no, I'm at work
SkyeDS: but I was very late today
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: if she hadn't read me the riot act about priorities, I
wouldn't have told the lie about prepaid nonrefundable.
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: I just don't deal well, when I've been woken up to find
myself in a lot of pain and then be read the riot act while I'm still
in bed, attached to heating pad, first thing in am.
evile: I'm not a morning person, anyway, pain or no. That sucks!
You'd think she'd have better people skills after all her work
experience & such.
SkyeDS: I know they were in a hurry to get home.
SkyeDS: But geez.
evile: yeah.
evile: Why not just call from their hotel? ugh.
SkyeDS: hugs good bye and all that stuff
SkyeDS: but they left their trailer, and the frame from their 10 x 20
foot canopy.
SkyeDS: why take the tarp and not the frame?
evile: wierd.

evile: I decided Saturday night that HFS boys should be seen & not
heard. If Jinx could just convince them all to sit around looking
pretty and being furniture & throw pillows, that would be a perfect
party.
SkyeDS: ROFL
SkyeDS: (except for Steve/prophet/malikai)
evile: Especially Brandon...that boy has a mouth! I think he'd
benefit from some time spent at the end of a leash.
evile: No, I think Steve is pretty enough to be furniture, too.
SkyeDS: yes but he's also fairly thoughtful and well spoken
evile: And Jose, he's funny. But I still like him better when he just
stands there looking pretty.
evile: Steve did a fine job on his flaming Dr. Pepper, as I recall.
evile: Darling Jose had 2. And so did brave/foolish Thax.
evile: I enjoyed being the 151 fairy Saturday night :P
SkyeDS: lol
SkyeDS: adult beverage soudns real good right now
SkyeDS: any adult beverage (other than beer)
evile: heh. true nuff.
evile: tonight is PNO 'classic' at Dog & Duck.
SkyeDS: is also fighter practice, if I don't go home and replant the
heating pad.
evile: *nod* I hear ya.
evile: It's only Monday, but I can't wait for the weekend. Actually
I have Friday off, so it's not too far off.
SkyeDS: <jealous
evile: It's LBJ's birthday, a 'skeleton' holiday. I got it because I
was the first one to ask, apparently :)
SkyeDS: early bird and the worm :P
evile: Yup. we're pretty caught up right now, so I'm sure more people
can take it off, if they ask.
evile: Did you ever find out what the issue was with Rita?
SkyeDS: I know what she told sineater
SkyeDS: Sharjinka didn't know that much
SkyeDS: I think jinx's upset with me
SkyeDS: /me shrugs
evile: why would jinx being upset with you upset Rita?
SkyeDS: I don't know what Sharjinka's upset about
evile: But why would Rita care either way that Jinx was upset?
SkyeDS: two things completely unrelated.
evile: Oh...backing up. What did Rita tell sineater, then?
SkyeDS: somebody's talking shit about her again, something having to
do with the internal Calinorn succession
SkyeDS: which is Calinorn's business and nobody elses, I thought
SkyeDS: anyway, it's all got to be hearsay because it isn't in the
forums anywhere and Jinx hasn't even heard a word
evile: That's too bad.
SkyeDS: the only people who talk shit about Rita are the Fucked Up
Four
SkyeDS: and Calinorn's officers are none of their business.
evile: Sounds like Rita may just need to take a break from HFS stuff
for a while. CRW stressed her out a bunch.
SkyeDS: maybe more unification s hit
evile: *nod*
evile: "breathe more, care less"
SkyeDS: trying to convince Rita not to invest herself in all this is
about as easy as telling that to Jinx.
evile: *nod*
evile: Well, Sharjinka has a pleasant distraction at the 'mo, so it
may be easier for her not to stress about HFS for awhile, anyway
evile: I wish you were in LJ...I had a long rambling post I'd love to
have your thoughts on.
SkyeDS: I can sign up for it without actually writing myself couldn't
I?
evile: yup.
evile: Jeff from poly group just started one, for the express purpose
of reading his sos' thoughts.
SkyeDS: soon as he goes off to raquetball I'll see about starting one
evile: heh. cool.
SkyeDS: although I tell you what
SkyeDS: people seem to get into more trouble with those
SkyeDS: almost like getting notes intercepted in class in gradeschool
evile: yeah. I really really do try to keep mine light & 'what I'm
doing, where I'm going'....mostly. It's tough.
evile: You could always start yours out 'friends only' instead of
waiting for the flamewar and THEN setting it as 'friends only'. plus
there are ways to set up filtered posts so only certain people read.
for example, no family members reading my KINK posts :P
SkyeDS: that would be handy just as a public calendar
evile: *nod*
evile: I know it's paranoid of me, but my advice is to set
that 'friends only' so unsavory characters won't know when you're
away from home.
SkyeDS: I'm sure Mom was not happy to come into my room this morning
to find me in bed naked, with sonar0m in the room
SkyeDS: even though he was fully dressed
SkyeDS: I was under a blanket
SkyeDS: and he was rubbing lower bakc thru blanket
evile: none of her business...
SkyeDS: well she could knock next time
evile: yah.
SkyeDS: I knew they were outside, but I didn't hear them come in, in
time to shut my bedroom door, and so in she walked
evile: ugh!
SkyeDS: normally we are not "in your face"
evile: no.
evile: in your own home, in your own bedroom however, it's other
people's tough luck if they walk in uninvited and see what they don't
want to see.
evile: You and your parents have a bad set of boundaries...sorry to
say that...but ...ugh.
SkyeDS: sighs
evile: Even when my parents stay in my home, they don't come barging
in to a closed bedroom.
SkyeDS: it wasn't closed, that's the problem
SkyeDS: my bedroom door was open because I didnt' realize they were
in the house
evile: Oh...well, that's slightly different but still not too cool.
SkyeDS: ok, mine is skye_ds
evile: sweet!
evile: I'm bramblekite.
SkyeDS: :)
evile: I've already added you to my friends list & my kink filter, so
you can read everything I posted as 'friends only' and everything I
post in 'kink'. sineater is on 'friends' but not in 'kink'...figured it
would probably just squick him.
SkyeDS: rofl
evile: and if not him, then me. :P
SkyeDS: still setting up me preferences
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: good lord, lots of them too, specially ona free account
evile: yeah. it's mostly pretty user friendly, just takes time to
wade through all the options.
evile: the 'email when someone comments in my LJ' doesnt seem to be
working at all, however.
evile: addictive ain't it?
SkyeDS: trying to figure ou texactly what I don't mind everyone
knowing
evile: *nod* If I had it to do over, I'd err on the side of putting
out less info at first, rather than more.
evile: You can browse my friends list & more than likely find people
you know who you might want to add to your friends, so finding who
you want rather than allowing possibly undesirables to find you seems
preferable.
SkyeDS: seems like
evile: was a tad distressed when a jerk online found IP addresses to
link my LJ and my diaryland (which has no filters you can set up,
it's all or nothing)
SkyeDS: :(
evile: no negative fallout that I know of, other than Jerky wrote a
little rant on his webpage about how evil I am bla bla. whatever.
evile: Since getting smart about friends filters & what I post, I
haven't had any stalker issues that I know of.
evile: And be sure to take most of the BS in peoples posts with a
large block of salt. :P
evile: (and say lots of nice things in my comments section) :P
SkyeDS: wow, long friends list
evile: I will be happy to tell you who anyone is in RL, if you have
any q's.
SkyeDS: wish you could convince Jinx of her own attractiveness
SkyeDS: but you'd have to be a man, and one she wanted, to do that.
evile: I think even JG is finding a bit of a challenge in that area.
SkyeDS: jg=new boyfriend? I hope I hope I hope
evile: yes. sorta kinda
SkyeDS: awesome
evile: I swear, she must read crappy romances on the sly, because
there are so many ninny-headed misunderstandings in her love life.
Makes me want to SMACK her.
SkyeDS: she ought to be a Domme
SkyeDS: I have discussed that with her at length.
evile: She was going on about how she didn't think he liked her, and
apparently they had to have a big TALK, and I'm all like "HELLO? He
was hanging all over you at the party...how could you mis-read
that???"
SkyeDS: which one is JG?
evile: Personally, I think she is a frustrated Sub. She doesn't want
to give up any of her strength, but wants to find someone stronger
than she is. It's a tall order....
evile: JG is how she refers to him in LJ. I think his name is John or
James? I've met him twice & can't remember.
SkyeDS: so many people in drandmir I don't know now
evile: He seems to have a very good heart, is nice without being a
pushover, seems very aware of his own strength and comfortable with
hers.
evile: He is not a HFS person, far as I know.
SkyeDS: ah.
SkyeDS: well as long as he is HFS-friendly (you have to be ren-
friendly to be with a rennie of course)
evile: yeah. he's a fencer. RL pointy things rather than padded ones.
evile: Nice fencer bod.
evile: wish I could have conned her & him both into skinnydipping
with me.
SkyeDS: yum. good for her :)
SkyeDS: so if she's not unhappy in her love life, must be something
else bothering her.
evile: No tellin.
evile: she seemed happy enough at the party.
SkyeDS: maybe she's still put out at me over CRW, who knows.
evile: ? maybe.
SkyeDS: I don't have time to chase down who's upset with me now for
what reason, I really d on't care anymore.
SkyeDS: a lesson both Jinx and Rita could learn, imo
evile: yup.
evile: well, and then, for gods sake, if you are upset with someone,
do them the honor of telling them that you are, and WHY you are.
SkyeDS: if you want them to fix it, anyway
evile: exactly. And if you don't think it's fixable, STFU and get
over it already.
evile: If a person is worth your time/energy, they are worth talking
to when they offend you. If they aren't, then put them out of your
mind and go on with your happy little life.
SkyeDS: water signs do n't seem very capable of that. <shrug>
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: and I have many of them in my life, and I love them.
SkyeDS: but I can't play that game.
evile: if it's their issue, you shouldn't have to.
SkyeDS: it's 4 pm. no wonder I'm hungry.
evile: haven't had lunch yet! not good. You go do that, I need to
putter a bit, even though I got here late & have a few more minute s
to kill.
evile: comment in my LJ!! it's Fun! :)
evile: *hugs*
