evile: Hi there :)
SkyeDS: hey
evile: How's your day going?
SkyeDS: morning began when as we were walking out door, saw Mirage in
the middle of traffic on 79.
SkyeDS: in the middle of a convoy of dumptrucks doing 70mph
evile: OMG!!!
SkyeDS: had to catch the horse, fix the fence, and now my head is
killing me and the cramps aren't helping
SkyeDS: but other than that, fine :)
evile: I guess that's right up there with the live frog for breakfast.
evile: Once you do that then there's nothing worse that can happen to
you that day.
SkyeDS: you ate live frog for breakfast?
evile: no, it's a saying.
SkyeDS: oh. one I haven't heard, cool.
evile: eat a live frog for breakfast, and nothing worse can happen to
you (or the frog) that day.
evile: Very scary. I'm glad Mirage is OK.
SkyeDS: She wouldn't let sineater catch her, but she let me eventually,
and I ponied her home with the truck with no further mishaps
evile: wow.
SkyeDS: and I loved on her and told her, there are ways she can get
hurt that doctor mommy can't fix
evile: *nod*
evile: Here's some sweet/good news: J-Law's boyfriend asked her to
email him the link to the ashford.com ring she likes...I think The
Question is immanent.
SkyeDS: :D
evile: I'm really glad she's found such a good guy.
SkyeDS: I stopped at my favorite taco stand in Manor the other day
for breakfast on way into work
evile: breakfast tacos...yummmm.
SkyeDS: no one else was there and the woman asked if I were Wiccan
because of the pendant I used tow ear (that I now carry in my wallet
because I haven't restrung it yet, it's heavy and breaks strings)
SkyeDS: and it would look too 70s to wear it on a chain, too large
evile: that's interesting (that she asked that)
SkyeDS: so anyway I blinked and said after a moment, I'm not Wiccan
SkyeDS: but I am a witch
evile: good answer :)
SkyeDS: and she said she would like to be one if it worked like
Jeannie, Samantha and Harry Potter
evile: hee.
SkyeDS: and I laughed and said, well, my broom only flies when I
throw it, my bird (she knows Arthur) isn't a trained bird of prey and
my wand doesn't work that way
SkyeDS: if it did, my best beloved friends would all have the right
men in their lives
SkyeDS: and she said, isn't love magic a no no?
SkyeDS: and I said, well, that depends on who you ask
SkyeDS: most Wiccans don't have a problem with it because
it's "white" magic
SkyeDS: I don't have a problem with it if you don't name names. If
you have a list of qualities you want, that's fine.
SkyeDS: but you start naming names and that's binding against wills,
and that's rape
evile: *nod* exactly. Me too.
SkyeDS: but I told her, it has sparked many, many heated debates
SkyeDS: also explained to her that Wicca is a religion, it can be
studied
SkyeDS: whereas there are ...gifts....that hereditaries are born with
SkyeDS: regardless of what religion we choose for ourselves
SkyeDS: and once those gifts manifest, if we don't learn to control
them, unpleasant things happen
SkyeDS: so, some of it is nurture, and some of it is nature
SkyeDS: you can study piano and get so far by choice and discipline
whether you're born with talent or not
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: and likewise be born with talent and never have to study
SkyeDS: although that's wasteful imo
SkyeDS: but whether I study or not, I'm born of the Blood and I have
to deal with that regardless.
SkyeDS: and when I used my usual metaphor that Wiccans are to the
streghe what Baptists are to Catholics she fell off her stool
laughing. She's Catholic and her husband is Baptist.
SkyeDS: I just don't get it
SkyeDS: I go along, in my normal clothes, like a normal blouse and
jeans
SkyeDS: and out of nowhere.
SkyeDS: I haven't worn that pendant in *years*
evile: wierd.
SkyeDS: I'm sure I probably told you about that like 4 yo child one
Halloween
evile: *nod* that's a cute story :)
SkyeDS: when I was in plain clothes waiting for sineater and Janet to get
off work
SkyeDS: do I have like Witch on my forehead in ink that's invisible
only to me?
evile: *grinz* Maybe.
SkyeDS: what I want to know is this
SkyeDS: I *know* I'm outside the herd, I'm a wolf and not a sheep,
etc etc etc
SkyeDS: I am supposed to be Other, fine
SkyeDS: but why is that *visible*
SkyeDS: NOT when I'm garbed, but in plain clothes?
evile: well, like you say, some people are born with gifts...so maybe
those people recognize you as a witch
SkyeDS: one time it did happen when I was in garb, but it was
buccaneer garb and we were ALL in garb at Hawkwood
evile: *nod*
evile: I got called a 'witch' exactly once by a kid at TRF, and she
asked me for a kiss, because 'witch kisses are lucky'...but I tink
she meant "wench"
SkyeDS: LOL :D
SkyeDS: too cute!
SkyeDS: I am not counting the instance at Canterbury because I was
garbed as a period witch
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: and besides that mother got exactly what she deserved
SkyeDS: watch her exhibit horrible lack of parenting skills all day,
then she drags her poor beleaguered little girl up to me and demands
that I tell her what witches do to bad little children
evile: I hate it when parents do crap like that.
SkyeDS: I cocked my head, thought for a second or so and then replied
quietly, "we barbecue the parents, who are obviously bad parents,
alive."
SkyeDS: Janet chided me about the image I'm always railing about and
supposed to be trying to combat
SkyeDS: and I said so what? I was supposed to give this little girl
brainscars and nightmares by giving mom what she wanted? I don't
think so
evile: Yeah. Every now and again, there will be a kid having a
meltdown somewhere nearby and I'll be shooting the death glare as the
parents just stand there with their thumbs up their ass.
evile: Finally, the parents catch my look and tell their kids "You
better shut up or that mean lady will punish you!"....
SkyeDS: I wish you had been present when we went to see the
Lippizaners that one time
evile: no, dumbass, you are the fucking parent YOU need to discipline
your fuckfruit, and I mean NOW.
SkyeDS: a dozen pre-teen girls, loosely chaperoned by two completely
ineffectual parents *sigh*
SkyeDS: I'm sitting there with a 103.5 degree fever because I refused
to stay home
SkyeDS: listening to "his thing is hanging down, his thing is hanging
down"
SkyeDS: and "omg look at all the drool"
SkyeDS: and the back of my chair being kicked continuously, and my
hair pulled, and substances I don't care to think about spilled in it.
evile: disgusting.
SkyeDS: oh and those kids that one Easter
SkyeDS: I thought i was going to kill them before sineater did (real role
reversal there)
evile: wow.
SkyeDS: my opinion of myself is that I am longsuffering and patient
with children long past the points of most other adults
SkyeDS: I may be wrong, has happened many times before
SkyeDS: but, I think, by the time the behavior is pissing even me
off...
evile: yeah....I'm not patient at all with children, even the nice
ones.
evile: I think it's because my friends' kids are so amazingly bright
and precocious...I just come to expect that from all kids.
SkyeDS: I think that's easy to do
SkyeDS: Randy's daughter is amazingly bright and precocious
SkyeDS: so is Marshall in his own way
evile: Well, my goddaughter was ahead of the curve for a long time, and then
I think settled in to a more standard type of behavior and started to
disappoint me...
SkyeDS: and he's brighter and more precocious than the adults in his
life, which is why he plays them like fiddles.
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: LOL - http://memegen.net/viewmeme.pl?meme=1074748176
SkyeDS: lol town priest = Christopher Alex, omg too fucking funny,
and town prostitute = thax
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: sineater is making disgruntled noises
SkyeDS: guess I'd better run my errand to the SOS so he can have the
truck
SkyeDS: and stop sitting in my office growling
SkyeDS: I shall return. Or is that, I'll be back. or whatever.
evile: have fun :)
