evile: hey :)
SkyeDS: hola :)
evile: I'm very tired today, but in a good mood.
SkyeDS: nodnod. I need to eat, otherwise all is good
evile: Lunch is good.
SkyeDS: probably goingn to take shots across my bow over my musing
today, but oh well, do n't care, it's my opinion, and eveyrone else
can have theirs, doesn't bother me
evile: *nod* it's your LJ.
SkyeDS: just a little bemused that Life without Parole got voted
down, we have no school or other finance reform, and the most
important things the legis can find to do
evile: crazy.
SkyeDS: is regulate cheerleading and take willie nelson's name off a
highway
evile: Yeah, my coworkers were discussing htat yesterday
SkyeDS: sounds somewhat intelligent in comparison to their usual
conversational fare.
evile: not the way they deconstructed it. Trust me.
SkyeDS: I believe in the DP in certain instances, but a lot of people
don't, and the only other option we have now is life with parole,
which results in Kenneth Allan McDuffs.
evile: *nod* I'm all for a stricter death penalty, ifthat's what they
decide instead of life without parole. But life with parole...not the
best option in a lot of cases.
SkyeDS: exactly. fry them, or turn t hem loose. wtf?
SkyeDS: but see, most people love to set up a) or b) situations like
that, where both a and b suck
SkyeDS: and then they tell you, pick one, as if there aren't other
viable practical solutions
SkyeDS: that's how sophmoric minds make and win arguments
evile: yup
SkyeDS: I reserve my right to None of the Above
evile: yeah
SkyeDS: I thought about asking Sineater if he wanted to make PD last
night, sounds like you had a wonderful time
SkyeDS: got out of drs just after 5, he gets off at 5 we could have
made it - I got home at 6.
evile: Oh well. It's always kind of a crapshoot, depends on who shows
up as to what degree of enjoyability there is.
SkyeDS: I bet Kulilinei is blissed out beyond words at having not only
her own house but her own trees.
SkyeDS: I love my trees.
evile: *nodnod* She and Knighthorse both were just on Cloud 9 last night,
it was wonderful to be in their presence (as if it's not ALWAYS)
SkyeDS: I don't know what chance I have at a first impression with
Kuli since my first impression with Knighthorse was less than spectacular.
evile: she's pretty open minded & open hearted.
SkyeDS: I know it's just my perception, but I thought Robin, Knighthorse
and I were having a reasonable exchange of somewhat differing,
somewhat similar views. It wasn't heated, it wasn't personal, and I
for one was learning.
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I was reading in the poly community LJ, and there was this
entry about the etiquette of invitations and primaries and
secondaries etc
SkyeDS: as if etiquette isn't hard enough anyway, polys do make it
more complicated
SkyeDS: but in my mind it's like cooking, or clothing, or jewelry
SkyeDS: you have elements which you love, you just don't have all
those elements together at one time all the time
evile: From what I understand, Austin is very relaxed compared to
other places, in the BDSM scene, in the poly scene, etc
SkyeDS: I love chocolate, I love cheese, I do not eat chocolate ON
cheese
SkyeDS: I love this purple article of clothing,a nd that red one, but
even I know better than to wear them together.
evile: heh. I saw thenakedredhead in red and purple the other night. eeeps.
SkyeDS: in t he same way, I dono't expect all my friends to be
friends with each other, nor do I expect all my friends to espouse my
enemies as their enemies.
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: although I'm trying very hard not to use the word enemy
anymore, I don't want any of those. Can't control who considers me
to be one, but I'm not wasting the effort to make it mutual
evile: exactly
SkyeDS: Sineater and I don't agree on people and that's fine, we try to
handle differences of opinion in a reasonable mature fashion
evile: I would hope so :)
SkyeDS: he has the sense to keep people I find to be toxic away from
me (he doesn't bring them to the house or insist that I see them
socially or whatever)
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: and in return vice versa (I don't do such to him either)
SkyeDS: I learned my lesson with both Kaleon and Will
SkyeDS: I can't demand that you respect Sineater personally, he has to
earn that, but you damn well will respect his position in my Family.
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: President Clinton is still President Clinton, as is President
Bush, they are not "Mr."
SkyeDS: but anyway, most people are flock animals, like sheep, and
they are blindly friends with their friends' friends, and enemies of
their friends' enemies.
evile: indeed.
SkyeDS: and a lot of couples are lockstep little units that don't
think individually.
SkyeDS: it is a balance thing no, finding the happy medium between
unity and hermetically joined at the brain-hood?
evile: On one hand, you trust your friends' judgement on things, so
if they don't trust or like someone, you want to approach that person
cautiously. OTOH, in a sitch like Pam and Rengeek where they're both
good people but not close anymore, it's like an 'agree to disagree'
thing.
SkyeDS: if someone hurts Sharjinka, for example (insert any other of
my friends names there if you like), I'm not going to be h appy
about it
SkyeDS: I am intensely loyal (overly so, I think, in comparison to
the norm)
SkyeDS: but wary is an apt expression to use, in terms of how to
approach someone who is an enemy of a friend, assuming said person is
an enemy because they have hurt your friend
evile: *nod* exactly.
SkyeDS: now, assault, batter, rape, etc, one of my friends, and I
don't give a damn if I've never met you, you're my enemy and I'll do
what I have to, nothing personal about it
SkyeDS: but outside of that, I like to form my own opinions, but most
people don't seem to work that way.
evile: exactly.
SkyeDS: I have been enjoying the peace and quiet of the drama free lj
zone immensely btw :)
evile: that's good.
evile: e. just cancelled on me for Saturday .am. yoga.
SkyeDS: I have got to start back on a regimen
SkyeDS: my annual did not go well
evile: I'm sorry to hear that.
SkyeDS: the NP's ways and means left much to be desired, but certain
facts remain facts
evile: I need to get my butt in gear and switch Drs soon, get
everything in place before my annual is due.
evile: Did you go to Planned Parenthood?
SkyeDS: nod
evile: bedside manner varies pretty dramatically.
evile: folks at the one in Greencastle were wonderful. Likewise the
ones in Pennsylvania when I first went on the shot.
SkyeDS: she wasn't very medically informed either
SkyeDS: and if I didn't do what I do for a living I wouldn't have
known that
evile: wow. that sucks!
SkyeDS: anyway, I got poked, pried and my year of pills all at once,
for free, so thank you very much for your opinion gbye now
evile: *nod*
evile: omg....I was checking out rengeeks photos from final weekend
at faire, and found this..I was all like "is this what I think it
is?"...yup.
ouch.

SkyeDS: ROFL
evile: heavens.
SkyeDS: you didn't have the pleasure of seeing it for yourself at
faire? ROFL
evile: um.no.
evile: that must have been Saturday
evile: I'm going to see if I can get any interest in nude yoga at big
fun.
SkyeDS: :)
evile: I don't want to put it on the 'official' schedule, but just
make it known among the people I know and like that I'll be
practicing nude yoga at ___ am. and ___ pm in the R cabin and they're
welcome to join.
SkyeDS: thought I saw some hullabaloo about nudity around t he kids,
re skinnydipping or some such
evile: there shouldn't be any kids in the R cabin.
SkyeDS: good point
evile: and its' a state park, so skinnydipping shouldn't be allowed.
evile: I'm buggin out a little early today, for a Tina appointment.
evile: *hugs* see ya tomorrow :)
SkyeDS: cool :) wind to your wings :)
