evile: hey :) How was your weekend?
SkyeDS: largely unproductive but oh well. What little got done was
good.
SkyeDS: Sitting here listening to the $100+ worth of music I bought
evile: that's good. I heard the Drandmir thing had drama. glad
Imissed it.
SkyeDS: and I have just decided that for classical I'm going to use 6
Dances from the Nutcracker
SkyeDS: I don't care that they aren't period.
SkyeDS: these are fantasy faires
SkyeDS: what happened at Drandmir?
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: all I know is Jinx didn't have a good time (ie what's in
her lj)
evile: Oh, I dunno, Sharjinka had some kind of misunderstandign with
someone. And of course rather than tell the person who hurt her
feelings, she's going to post it on her LJ.
SkyeDS: I guess it is innate for a reenACTment group to cherish drama
evile: yup
SkyeDS: most of Drandmir ignores me except when they want something
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: and then when they do want something, I try to provide, and
half the time that's turned down
SkyeDS: <shrug>
SkyeDS: I'm a little disappointed that I didn't take off more after
fasting Saturday, but the inches were nice
evile: *nod* that's very cool. Feeling more energy?
SkyeDS: more mental clarity yes
SkyeDS: still tired because I haven't slept enough
evile: cool :)
SkyeDS: but that's because I have bad sleep habits
SkyeDS: no more waking up between 1 - 3 am, and that was due to diet
evile: I had bad dreams last night. Mind is really pushing me to get
into another job.
SkyeDS: I remember my dreams more now
SkyeDS: and they're very weird
evile: yup. that happened when I started taking flaxseed & epo
SkyeDS: I haven't even started on that yet
SkyeDS: I'm going to though
evile: *nod* good stuff, I swear by it
SkyeDS: I think there's flax in my supplements.
SkyeDS: I mixed my beloved strawberry banana smoothies with yogurt
evile: sounds good.
SkyeDS: I like them better straight but I need the yogurt to replace
the good flora in my system that I killed along with the bad
SkyeDS: "miracle juice" = cranberry, orange, lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg,
ginger and water concoction
SkyeDS: I have decided I could happily live on strawberry banana
smoothies and orange juice all day, and apples when I need to chew
something
evile: that's good
SkyeDS: do you know how long it's taken others to move around
laterally at the state?
evile: nope.
evile: what I think is fun is when people get promoted, don't like
it, and go back to their old job and somehow manage to retain the
higher rate of pay.
SkyeDS: be handy if you could figure out how
evile: yah.
SkyeDS: Hugh hasn't been here this morning and hasn't called, I
wonder if I should be worried
evile: hm. Probably not. Mondays are good for skipping work,if you
can :)
SkyeDS: I'd like to work a 4/10 but that's not going to happen when I
drive 2 hours every day, even though I don't take lunch hour
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: oh man.
SkyeDS: I was having a hard enough time trying to figure out what
from Last Temptation I'd like to use
SkyeDS: and now that I have the Flamenco and Saidi, it's going to be
even harder, and I still haven't put together choreography
SkyeDS: and it's THIS Saturday.
evile: *nod* yup. it's coming up quick.
SkyeDS: I think I'll email J/B tomorrow and ask her if she's got
anything on paper. If she does could I buy her lunch and pick it up
then, because we really need to work every night this week.
SkyeDS: rather than walk through practice tomorrow.
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: there he is - car trouble
evile: Unless Mom wants to go to Ravens Loft, I think I'll end up
staying in town this weekend.
evile: car trouble on a monday....major suck!
SkyeDS: Courtney's car that is. He gave her his father's Cadillac
evile: *nod*
evile: My boss gets back from vacay tomorrow. I am going to ask her
for some time off to spend with Mom.
SkyeDS: they came this weekend past, or are coming this weekend next?
SkyeDS: I forgot
evile: no 'they'. just mom.
evile: she got here yesterday and will be here about a week, she's
thinking.
evile: [brother A] and the Pig are telling everyone--family, friends,
friends of Gary's & the family, CPS, everyone, that Mom
abused/molested the girls.
evile: I *really* want her DEAD.
SkyeDS: omfg
evile: Dead.
SkyeDS: none of us are safe, are we.
evile: Mom has been an educator for over 20 years. If there was *any*
inappropriate behavior on her part, EVER, she would not still be
certified to teach in at least 4 states.
SkyeDS: that's all your Mom and I need. Our lives are built around
children.
evile: Makes me sick.
evile: Every time I think "this person can't sink to any further
depth of filth and slime" she DOES.
SkyeDS: maybe we should ask onyxlynxx what to do to protect ourselves
SkyeDS: I'd ask Linda if she were still here
evile: & dragging my much-beloved but pretty goddamned stupid brother
along with her.
evile: you can't prove a negative. The best defense, IMHO, is to just
laugh in her fuckin' face if she ever gets the ovaries to bring these
accusations to you in person.
SkyeDS: I'm hoping K never hears from the CPS. But I'm thinking
depending on who there gets their paws on this, sometimes outcry is
all they seem to need.
SkyeDS: given what's happened to Kelly and Stephanie
evile: Mom is calling the caseworker herself.
SkyeDS: if resources weren't an issue (money time aggravation) I'd
suggest a defamation lawsuit
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: but then as I told sineater this morning I decided that going
after our last tenants wasn't worth those resources
SkyeDS: and that would have just been $60 in a JP court
evile: yup...
SkyeDS: but what she's doing is definitely illegal on I think more
than one account
SkyeDS: defamation/libel/slander, harassment, etc
evile: yup.
SkyeDS: I wonder if the police will end up involved
evile: *shrug* I think [rubber pig]'s main interest is in making sure the
state will never give custody of the children to anyone in our
family; I think she's accomplished that, without use of the police
SkyeDS: G must be ready to declare global thermonuclear war, surely
evile: I'm sure.
SkyeDS: and how on earth is the RP going to explain their unorthodox
living situation and history to CPS
evile: no tellin. Apparently the CPS has no problem with the ex
husband living with them and taking care of the girls.
SkyeDS: they obviously didn't mention the wedding of the magic
internet
evile: apparently, supposedly, she got a real divorce and she and
[brother A] had a real JP marriage
evile: whatever. I see her lips moving, I assume she's lying.
SkyeDS: "pre emptive" is a term bandied about a lot lately
SkyeDS: in examining my covenants, I think that the words "in order
to prevent" are more preventative than curative, in other words, "pre
emptive"
evile: right. you dont' wait for the rabid dog to bite you, you shoot
the fuckin' thing as soon as it walks into your yard.
SkyeDS: right. there are levels of pre emptive. one is shoot the
dog when it's in your yard. the other is shoot it before it's in
your yard, if you know it to be rabid, etc.
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I think of it as "situational ethics" because I don't know
what else to call it, even though I know that term has connotations
otherwise
SkyeDS: I really do think situations need to be examined for
distinguishing minutiae before applying ethics.
SkyeDS: anyway, I think w hat I'm getting at is, I see no problem
with doing what needs to be done about her. If you want a posse
behind you, say the word.
evile: *nod* I am lucky in that I saw far enough ahead to remove
myself from the situation, so I have no personal stake in what
happens, other than really loving my family and hating to see them
hurt.
SkyeDS: she comes near me and mine, dark moon/black
candles/urine/mense blood will be the least of what she has to worry
about
SkyeDS: although often that kind of banishment by itself seems to do
the trick quite satisfactorily in past
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: hasn't [aunt L] spent as much time or more with the kids than
[K/mom]?
evile: yup, but other than the 'back surgery' thing, never without
[brother A] & [rubber pig]
SkyeDS: hopefully she will be immune from all this then
evile: it's such a witch hunt issue. child abuse/molestation....it's
hideous that someone would take away from the people who really have
abuse stories in order to further their own agenda.
evile: sort of like drunk sorority girls yelling 'rape' the morning
after because they regret sleeping with someone.
SkyeDS: that's t he reason maybe that CPS has to run down every outcry
evile: yup. what a waste of manpower, that could be used actually
taking care of kids with real problems, (other than psychopathic
bitch mothers)
SkyeDS: woulda coulda shoulda - called CPS on [rubber pig] first, maybe,
although I don't know what to have reported
evile: exactly.
evile: the GWNN Munch was fun on SAturday--got too crowded & too
noisy pretty quick, but other than that.
SkyeDS: :)
SkyeDS: couldn't eat Saturday so I spent a great deal of time
watching cooking shows
SkyeDS: real smart
evile: Saw my favorite Rope Dom and got to visit with a couple who
are my favorite dom & sub
evile: He brought his bug-bite clicker & was showing it to everyone.
I got my 15 minutes of fame last night--"And HERE'S the gal who
showed me this great new toy!"
SkyeDS: :D
SkyeDS: here's to toys and the lucre with which to obtain them ;)
evile: I can't wait to get my flash cotton in the mail to test
whether the clicker will ignite it :)
evile: $4.50, pretty cheap toy.
SkyeDS: I am tempted to call a sub shop and order a salad ahead of
time and go pick it up for lunch
evile: that sounds like a good plan :)
SkyeDS: tender chicken breast strips are topped with Parmesan, Romano
and Asiago cheese, sprinkled with spices, Peppercorn Caesar dressing
SkyeDS: nummy
SkyeDS: I was lazy and left my own such salad makings at home this
morning
evile: oops.
evile: ooh, I got my mini torches & commando cloth on Friday :)
SkyeDS: remember that hero figure you created, with the bat wings and
the gun?
SkyeDS: no reason you couldn't play that in HFS, gun included
SkyeDS: we don't have a defined "period" the way SCA does - I don't t
hink anyway.
SkyeDS: and that could be loosely under the bailiwick of "fantasy"
SkyeDS: Hugh's birthday is tomorrow. Gift certificate is a given,
but I need to figure out whether Amazon, Cabela's, or Auto Zone or
some other auto store (I can't begin to figure out which one)
evile: I dressed like that for something, once.
evile: no gun.
evile: cabelas' was a madhouse when we drove by on Sunday...I
wouldn't shop there. But they have a website.
SkyeDS: right. I haven't been yet, I just use their website as a
benchmark when I'm pricing things.
evile: the parking lot is HUGE and is always packed whenever we go by.
SkyeDS: Hugh's been. He said it was redneck heaven.
evile: heehee. Ben said it was full of dead stuff.
SkyeDS: I'm going to scoot out of here and run to Hancock Ctr to get
me a salad, I'll BBIAB
SkyeDS: bk
SkyeDS: boss walked in right as I was walking out so my trip was
considerably delayed
evile: yeah, I bet!
evile: found a rather interesting LJ, browsing friends of friends
http://www.livejournal.com/users/alabastard/
SkyeDS: nods
SkyeDS: his profile is interesting
evile: very much so. I think y'all have a lot in common :)
SkyeDS: dangerous to know... I have a hard time seeing myself that
way, but the parents of a good many of my young friends seem to think
so
evile: not really that, that's merely a Byron quote, but the horses &
musical background, SCA, troubles with drama mongers, etc...
SkyeDS: I did like the poem about gossip
evile: yup
SkyeDS: going to explore his lj much more thoroughly when I finish
this edit project, deadline this afternoon
evile: *nod*
evile: ooh, pretty.
http://www.magicalfashions.com/catalog/catalogimages/purple%
20shawl.jpg
SkyeDS: wow
evile: I saw one similar at the last casa de luz show, red tones, and
I then went to ebay and found one in silver/muted blue/etc. Now I
find a whole jackpot of any color you can think of. I reeally like.
SkyeDS: so like I got this 60$ kuchi choker on ebay for $20
SkyeDS: but they aren't kidding about the choke part
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I spend a lot of time pulling it away from my throat
evile: I don't usually like chokers, for that reason.
SkyeDS: it looks really good with the kuchi belt
SkyeDS: and I can't ride in either one, unless it's just a parade
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: Hugh is going to kill little Michael (and I'm not going to
stop him)
evile: oh,dear.
SkyeDS: maybe Hugh will figure out on his own why I kept steering
Michael in the direction of designing the webpage adn AWAY from my
important functions
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: Hugh wanted Michael working on filing. No, I don't think
so. The point of filing is to be able to find something without
having to tear the entire office apart looking for it.
evile: yup
SkyeDS: well, I made the deadline with a couple of hours to spare
SkyeDS: and he just stormed out to go fight with the mechanics
SkyeDS: I asked him if I could just email the edits to the publisher
myself, and he said not
SkyeDS: <shrugs>
evile: uh oh. I hope it all works out OK.
SkyeDS: he is going to kill somebody today
SkyeDS: and as long as it isn't me I don't know that I care
evile: *nod* sounds like a plan :P
SkyeDS: Can't get a date, aging badly? Stalk an old obsession with
ludicrous rumours, yeah that's a great use of time.
(Alabastard Quote, lol)
evile: *giggle* See, I thought you two had some things in common.
evile: well, time for me to pack up.
*hugs* see ya!
