I’m writing and reading and sewing. That’s why I haven’t been on. Rediscovering the joys of a non-digital life. Sort of. I’m writing on my computer, lol.
I’m going to be 22 tomorrow 🙂 and I get to see DMB, finally.
Year: 2002
Good day hon. I just wanted to greet you in case I don’t catch you on today. I hope your costume is coming along. *muwah!*
transformation
Standardso I’m reading this book called Transformation, by Carol Berg. Now, if you know anything about me, you know that this excites me greatly. I don’t know what it is, I guess I have a transformation fetish. There are just times when I’m reading that my imagination takes over and I can feel it, I can feel it in my bones, my body throbs, I can feel the pain or the pleasure or whatever you think it is. This book is one of them. There need to be more books like that… One day my story will be comme &ccdil;a. I swear. Forgive the ramble. I feel weird saying that though, cause it’s a very private feeling, something that I’ve never shared with anyone other than my ex. but if you know of any good transformation stories, let me know.
Thank you, May, for your email. I’m glad you like it. And I will finish it, if nothing for nothing else than to say I have a completed novel. And you’ll be the first to get a signed copy 
If anyone is very interested in reading the next unfinished chapter, please let me know.
Thief! *rotfl* That song is great too. ; )
True, but still. I wanna see pics!
stealing from Lammy again:
the hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllls are alive…with the sound of muuuusic…”
sorry. I couldn’t resist.
Lammster, in order to have pictures, one must have another to take them… I can’t easily take pics while I’m sewing! lol. I’ll try to get a pic when it’s finished enough to wear.
Friday Five (.org)
1. What is your current occupation? Is this what you chose to be doing at this point in your life? Why or why not? I am currently a research assistant at a lab on the med school campus, and will continue to be, at least for a little while, but in a different lab. This is sort of what I chose to be doing; after all, it is in a stem cell lab, but I’m not getting as much experience with stem cells as I want to be having. And I was kind of hoping for one of those 50K BME jobs they kept telling us about. Erm. Not yet, I suppose.
2. If time/talent/money were no object, what would your dream occupation be?A writer-artist-Broadway Musical actress-web designer for a BME company. Yeah. Notice how the first things have nothing to do with engineering?
3. What did/do your parents do for a living? Has this had any influence on your career choices? They’re both artists. My dad works for the newspaper as a layout artist and my mom has her own business in hand-cast paper art. This had an influence in that I found out that artists don’t make a lot of money, and I’m determined to make enough to build my mom a studio.
4. Have you ever had to choose between having a career and having a family?A family? Not yet. But having a life? yes.
5. In your opinion, what is the easiest job in the world? What is the hardest? Why?
The easiest is the one you want to do. The hardest is the one you’re just learning. 
Yay!!! So glad things are going well in your costume making! I want those pics to see your progress! 🙂
the cloak is almost all sewn together…. I need to attach the hood and finish off the hems. Oh Joy! It has such a nice flowy cape thing going on, lol.
Bloomin’ reminders
Standardodd facts constantly reminding me of Orli:
Everyday on the way to work we pass a florist called “Always in Bloom”;
I’m reading a book by William Boyd. The actor Billy Boyd is in LotR with Orli;
I was listening to a cd I made, and a song from the soundtrack of “Deep Impact” was on it; Elijah Wood was in that movie, but also in LotR with Orli;
I’m learning to sew because of Legolas, Orli’s character…
Too bad I won’t ever meet him!
