evile: hi :)
SkyeDS: hola :)
evile: You know...I never 	really listened to the words of that song 
before.
SkyeDS: 	mood thing
evile: *nod*
evile: I'm just grumpy today. 
evile: 	Oh, yay. The September poly dinner schedule is finally up!
SkyeDS: 	horses go to get coggins pulled in the morning
SkyeDS: brains 	feel like bout to fall out of head
evile: *hugs* sorry you aren't 	feeling well.
SkyeDS: thankee kindly
SkyeDS: I could, I 	suppose, just choose not to let people push buttons
evile: it's 	tough.
SkyeDS: even if said people are parents and installed said 	buttons
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: they are apparently coming this 	weekend to finish the building
SkyeDS: so Mom asks me if we got 	the roof up
SkyeDS: well, no, we don't have the roof up, 	otherwise it would be 
finished.
SkyeDS: why not?
SkyeDS: 	well let's see
SkyeDS: Saturday was spent arguing about the 	event
SkyeDS: Sunday was spent with group lessons
SkyeDS: and 	Monday, yes, I went to the movies
SkyeDS: besides it was 	RAINING
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I do not post my schedule for 	people to criticize what I 
choose to do with my time
evile: 	yup.
SkyeDS: oh and then I shouldn't post no trespassing signs 	because it 
will stir shit with the niehgbors
SkyeDS: got news 	for you honey, I have to post them neighbors or no 
to protect 	myself from lawsuits
evile: it's your land. You have to do what 	will protect your property 
SkyeDS: somebody gets hurt on my 	land, if it isn't posted private, I 
get sued
evile: 	*nod*
SkyeDS: I don't see why she has to criticize and lay guilt 	for every 
damn thing I do
SkyeDS: I had a fuckin shitty 	weekend
SkyeDS: I did not need my decisions criticized.
evile: 	it's not about you, it's about her. If that helps.
SkyeDS: well, 	I'm examining my options
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: next time she 	asks did something get done, no
SkyeDS: why not
SkyeDS: 	because it didn't
SkyeDS: no explanation
evile: yup
SkyeDS: 	they refuse to defend their decisions to me
SkyeDS: I don't see 	why I should have to defend mine
evile: exactly!
SkyeDS: I 	should be able to say, unpleasantness occurred, I don't 
want to 	talk about it
SkyeDS: I damn well do know enough to know to do 	research on what I 
don't know
evile: especially since it's 	still recent & still re-offends you 
every time you discuss 	it!
SkyeDS: I don't need to be told how to handle my 	neighbors
evile: they are mannerless pigs, you are dealing with 	them 
accordingly. You know the neighbors better than your 	'rents.
SkyeDS: she's turning into my Gramma I swear to 	god
evile: We all turn into our mothers, so it's said.
evile: 	(terrifying thought, BTW)
SkyeDS: that makes my head hurt 	worse
evile: sorry.
SkyeDS: I had set that thing to friends 	only and then every time I do 
an edit, I discover I have to keep 	setting it that way
SkyeDS: I know Mom thinks I shouldn't even 	write a letter
SkyeDS: but threatening to call the police on me 	settled that 
indecision
evile: You have to set up each entry, 	I think, as far as privacy 
settings. unless you set the whole 	thing friends-only, which I don't 
know how to do.
evile: 	Bryce had to set his friends-only a while back.
SkyeDS: thank you 	for the org suggestion, that helped immensely
evile: You're 	welcome. You did all the hard stuff :P
SkyeDS: think I'll fax it 	Friday
SkyeDS: that will give her all weekend to think on 	it
evile: *nod*
evile: Polydinner on the 23rd is Ararat! I've 	been wanting to try 
that place for ages!
SkyeDS: I wonder if 	it's not sinus after all
SkyeDS: my eyes are watery, and I can't 	tell if it's sinus or that I 
feel like crying for no reason at 	all
evile: I think ragweed is still high.
evile: A good cry is 	a big stress-reliever. 
evile: (assuming it's done 	privately--Ihate crying in front of 
people :P)
SkyeDS: ok I'm 	bad
SkyeDS: I just bid on four ebay auctions
SkyeDS: a set of 	10 of those beautiful egyptian bottles
SkyeDS: I have no need of 	those
SkyeDS: a white collar and headset for Jesse
SkyeDS: and 	a full matching set w/ robes for Mirage
evile: cool :)
SkyeDS: 	doesn't include new tack like the Egyptian set but cheaper
SkyeDS: 	and I like my saddle
SkyeDS: I don't know if I could ride games 	in a new saddle that isn't 
anything like what I'm used to
evile: 	I wouldn't try that, personally. I'm sure it takes a month or 
2 	to break in a new saddle & get used to it, at the very least a 	
month or 2, I would think.
SkyeDS: the blanket on this one is 	obviously cut for an English 
saddle but I bet with a pair of 	scissors used judiciously and 
carefully I can fix that
evile: 	*nod*
evile: Have you bid on anything from this seller 	before?
SkyeDS: no
SkyeDS: 99.6% approval, powerseller
evile: 	*nod* just wondering if this was a favorite merchant, or 
anything 	like that.
SkyeDS: I'm willin to bet the bottles at least came 	from 
arabhorsestore
evile: could be :)
evile: I think fire 	mountain gems had them in their last catalog, 
too. 
SkyeDS: 	maybe I could give some away as gifts
SkyeDS: I did that with my 	last bottle collection (I don't know why)
evile: sometimes I get 	tired of stuff, too.
evile: Fire mountain wants $21.71 per 	bottle, they are 'large size'-7-
8" 	high
http://www.firemountaingems.com/details.asp?PN=H141603GF
SkyeDS: 	this is a collection of 10 for $10
SkyeDS: but don't remember how 	big
evile: I'm finding that ebay often has better deals than fire 	
mountain, if you are looking for something specific
evile: 	definitely if you are only needing 1 or a handful of whatever, 	
rather than a whole strand/gross/whatever.
SkyeDS: ebay = 	buyer beware, definitely
evile: yeah
evile: Oh, dear. kaleon 	is being maudlin in his LJ. I am so very 
tempted to tell him 	it's not the packaging, it's the personality. But 
I'm sure he 	would not care to hear it...
SkyeDS: then he shouldn't say it 	publicly huh
evile: I'm trying to be more Buddhist these days. It 	fails the 'right 
speech' test. Such a post would not help him, 	would not paint me in a 
light I care to be seen in, and would 	not benefit anyone. 
SkyeDS: well, my letter to the COC is hardly 	right speech either
evile: bull. 
evile: You are letting your 	parental voice yell too loudly in your 
head.
SkyeDS: welll it 	could be considered divisive
evile: There is nothing wrong, 	whatsoever, in protecting your home, 
your business, and your 	friends/family.
SkyeDS: is way I feel about it, divisive or 	not
evile: There is nothing wrong in pointing out that you've 	been 
offended and offering a way to avoid the situation in 	future.
evile: Being a good person does not mean you lay down and 	play 
doormat.
evile: It is hard to be assertive in a positive 	way, but it is 
something that must be done.
evile: If a 	relationship is important to you (you and chamber, you 
and me, 	etc) you have to speak up when you are being stepped on and 
give 	the other party a chance to make an effort to improve their 	
behavior.
SkyeDS: nods, and the police calling threats have 	got to stop. 
period.
evile: absolutely.
SkyeDS: <rolls 	eyes>
SkyeDS: I did not get bored
evile: boy is 	fishing.
SkyeDS: well I haven't got time to play fish
evile: 	nobody does after, oh, say High School or at the most 2nd yr 
of 	college.... :P
evile: In HS, you'd have these pathetic little 	characters mooning 
around and being gloomy, 'nobody loves me' 	bla bla, and we would all 
feed their drama and reassure them 	that they were wonderful & 
loveable 
evile: here in RL, 	if we meet a person who says "I'm ugly and 
unloveable" 	we say "Ok, bye"
SkyeDS: I don't remember drama in HS. 	
evile: heh. i do :)
SkyeDS: but then I was as far away from 	whatever was going on, as 
possible.
evile: I dont' mean to be 	mean. Everyone has their bad hair days, or 
days htey feel 	unlovable and icky, and if there's already an 
adult,caring 	relationshp in place, I am more than happy to comfort a 
friend 	who is feeling that way.
evile: But if that is their perpetual 	state, and it seems more like 
attention-getting behavior than a 	bad mood, I'd rather pass.
SkyeDS: it does amuse me, kind of, the 	perspective some people see 
some things from
SkyeDS: I'm 	like, ROFL, what universe were you in?
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I 	have never fuckin forced smiles in a love affair
SkyeDS: when it 	gets to that point I leave
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: let's just 	completely gloss over yelling at me, throwing 
temper tantrums at 	me
SkyeDS: leaving the burden for time spent together all on 	me
SkyeDS: "i can't drive one hour to Rockdale every once in 	a while" 
nevermind my driving to Stillfuckingwater 	Oklafuckinghoma 9 months 
out of the year 4 years running
evile: 	Here's what is said "I am an unlovable, ugly person"
Here 	is the unsaid part "Only a real loser would love me" 
and 	then they proceed to treat whoever loves them and finds them 	
beautiful accordingly, in order to fulfil their perception of 	
themselves.
evile: No, thank you.
SkyeDS: oh, and I didn't 	feel like sex one night when I was tired and 
my neck was very 	much still out of whack
SkyeDS: and I had already taken the next 	day off work because I knew 
I would need sleep but be physically 	ready for whatever the next day
evile: ugh.
evile: and it was 	all about him, of course, couldn't possibly be 
about YOU. 	Just... ugh!
evile: Onyxlynxx's main guy, the adorable, talented, 	and gorgeous roninjedi 
seems to be in one of those self-hate, 	drag-you-down-with-me spirals 
lately. I hate to see her going 	through it. She deserves better.
SkyeDS: :(
evile: Oh well. 	She will have to decide that on her own. I think it's 
coming, 	slowly but surely.
SkyeDS: I do so love quizzes
evile: they're 	fun.
SkyeDS: rofl "I shagged Snape" rofl
evile: I 	took a 'halloween party' quiz earlier but forgot to c&P it. 
It 	had sineater coming to the party dressed as a princess, and you as 	the 
porn star. the mind boggles.
SkyeDS: ROFL
SkyeDS: 	maybe, when I was in college
evile: *grinz*
SkyeDS: Karen had 	specifically requested no cat costume for the event
SkyeDS: I'm 	like, huh?
evile: ?
SkyeDS: apparently the entire shire had 	been investigating my yahoo 
photo album
evile: the rockdale 	chamber thingy this past weekend?
SkyeDS: yep
evile: Um...how 	would a cat costume even be remotely related to gypsy 
and/or 	SCA? Bizarre.
SkyeDS: well yeah
SkyeDS: I'm like, um, that was 	halloween many years ago
SkyeDS: I did it exactly once
evile: 	*nod*
SkyeDS: cannot for the life of me figure out why the entire 	Shire 
would be gathered around one puter looking t hrough my 	photo album
SkyeDS: or how they even knew it was there
SkyeDS: 	which reminds me, I need to put all our ren pics there so we 
can 	link them to bpr web page
evile: No telling.
evile: I've been 	working on a re-org of my various photos, trying to 
get them 	into something more accessible. Why store all these megs of 
photos 	if I never look at them because I can't find them?
SkyeDS: wonder 	how quickly Karen ran through them so as not to 
entertain the 	men overly much rofl
evile: very odd & interesting, 	that.
evile: I guess some people just have too much time on their 	hands.
evile: Yahoo ate a whole bunch of my pictures in their 	last format 
change. I can't find any of 'em anymore. Luckily I 	still have them in 
my hard drive at home. somewhere....
SkyeDS: 	:(
evile: And Sweetie still hasn't set up a photo thingy for me, 	quelle 
surprise.
evile: *LOL!* Best opening statement 	evar:
"To whom it may concern: 
If you are 	reading this statement, you probably have some knowledge 
of it's 	contents."
evile: Oh, and today's Winning Name was 	"Laquinta King"--person's 
name, not business name. 	
SkyeDS: lol
evile: Hello, I am a preferred customer and I 	would like the Laquinta 
King suite today...
SkyeDS: 	hehe
evile: Or maybe she was named for where she was conceived? 	ugh.
evile: oh, LJ is making me crazy. I keep posting coments & 	it keeps 
saying that I've hit 'post' and left the field blank. 	ARGH.
SkyeDS: :(
evile: it's fun when it works.
evile: I am 	just bored & ready to go home. sleepy, too.
SkyeDS: 	nods
SkyeDS: dittos
evile: work is suckin' today. A lot of 	duplicates, which just waste 
my time & dont' add to my 	production.
evile: Tonight is Elaine's b-day dinner, I'm going to 	give her the 
ojime bead I found. I hope she likes it :)
SkyeDS: 	:)
evile: I keep hearing that she doesnt' collect turtles 	anymore, but 
at every gift-giving occasion, she still gets them 	from people & 
doesn't seem to mind...
SkyeDS: I am always 	thankful for gifts
SkyeDS: if it doesn't have a place in my home 	I always find a place 
where it is happy
evile: well, I 	figured it was small, so even if she doesn't collect 
turtles, he 	wont take up much space :P
SkyeDS: I loved shopping for beads and 	leathers and stuffs
evile: the bead show this past weekend was 	really awesome. There's a 
smaller one October 9. One of the 	booths I spent a LOT of money at 
will be there..
SkyeDS: 	:)
evile: I just can't resist Czech glass. It's so cool.
SkyeDS: 	I like crystals.
SkyeDS: and glass.
SkyeDS: and pretty shiny 	sparklies
evile: *nod*
evile: There's still some places here 	in town that I haven't been yet 
& need to. I ought to make a 	list.
SkyeDS: Nomadic Notions was cool, haven't been there in 	while
evile: they are cool, but pricey.
SkyeDS: I think I 	might better start making folders in my photo album
evile: e. 	gave me a gift cert. for there, but said she wanted to 
go with 	me when I spent it. She was never available, and now it's 	
expired.
SkyeDS: that sucks
evile: Folders are good & 	helpful. I had several 'private' ones that 
went 'poof' in the 	last Yahoo reincarnation. All my 'shared' ones 
still seem to be 	find-able, though. I don't know what's up with that.
evile: Oh, 	wow, time to get paperwork sorted & get on outta here.
evile: 	*hugs* I hope you get to feeling better about things.
