avadI present to you the latest in silly hairdos...I will call it the CherryTwisterSuckerPop. Much like my LoopBraided-BirdofParadise (LB-bop) but much easier to create while tipsy. Twist, double up, secure w/cherries and fan out the 'featherflops', Wa-LA!.;)
Add stripey socks and blue boots to otherwise dull outfit and I feel a bit more ready for... Somethin(!?)
After a strange moody day of Inexpressibles, this was quite needed. At first my mood was Railing against leaving my hermitage(as per usual)....but finally I got some work done...and felt able to trick/treat myself into some social sillyfun with B and friends.
Occassion? Bday party and house-warming gathering of some friends we hadn't seen in a while next town over. We dressed up and brought an electric blinking cake-slice and a big plastic salamander (as per the custom of our homeland).
I accepted my sweet hostess Joanna's 'house-drink' dubbed the 'Red Ass'. If I know these two, it probably has a bit to do with some spanking ritual I'd best never ask about. Her hubby JoJo (with cake in his ear)introduced us finally to all the reptiles and amphibians they own. Lots of silky small snakes and a velvety leopard gecko I took a liking to.Then he had a 'talkin-to' us about buying a house (they just bought that one)and I don't know what to think. On the one hand he's admitting that it's Absolutely Killing him, he has 3 jobs and is Miserable...and then he's saying we have to DO IT NOW because it's the only way you'll make any money in this place (selling it in a few years). Eek. The talk was scary. His eyes!*sigh* rent and mortgages and jobs ohMY.
Later I had a Really good heart-to-heart with my girlie Meg. So much I'm just learning about her. Ugh, what a sweetie. *sigh* Wish I could wave a magic wand and make now easier for her. She has some Awesome art ideas that I can see she's going to channel a lot of it into which is good....but will also be a difficult process in its continued focus on areas of lingering pain. Hope it can be an exorcism of sorts.
My allergies were going nuts because of the dogs and finally we had to leave but it was worth it.
Even with my red ass hangover this morn.;)

Date: 2005-02-20 07:06 pm (UTC)Now, on to the house thingie.
*sigh* It's all trade-offs, I know. But it's really hard to put a value on what I feel here. I think it's worth so much. And moving away may make it financially easier in only some ways (expenses but not income). I lived in Lousiana for a while...paid Nothin in rent, made Nothin at jobs, had no real arena/support structure for my art. Vicious cycle.
And then, like I said, there are the things you can't put a dollar sign on...like how I feel safe here...how I can sit at my magic bay...and I have 'special spots' all over the place. How it's a mixture of country and culture...with fields and open spaces and a network of artists and musician friends who I've gotten to know over years and years...How I can both retreat and come out every once in a while...
I have friends who moved away so they could have a big house for less than you'd pay for a shack here...but for me....home is the whole township and all these immeasurable things and I'm really happily entangled here.

Date: 2005-02-20 11:26 pm (UTC)Yeah I'm worried about losing the living space we ahve here if we were to move. I ahve space to do anything I like and DO ahve a total freedom from social requirements. there being none here whatsoever. But a network of people who know and understand me and people with which to hang out would be a nice change and one has to give something up for that. I fantasize that we could move away, I could make connections in chicago, then we could move back to this loft as I love it so but I'd ahve the resources etc to make a living visiting chicago regularly and the ability to get into culture etc there w/o having the cramped living space for a bazillion dollars. happiness is worth more than owning a place any day. It's true. I jsut hope someday I can find a place where there's a good balance for me. :)

Re: crazy pretty fruity pixy girl!
Date: 2005-02-21 06:50 pm (UTC)I think it's fun to find all the silly hairtoys i used to have as a little girl...Those ponytail balls were my fave. I used to use the ends of my long braids as puppets to entertain myself....the balls were the crazy googly eyes and then my hair ends would be their hair and I'd make them dance and talk to eachother and such. haha.ok was a weird child, what of it.;)
