Or at least, the whopping three 'ask me anythings' that showed up in my inbox last night. How exciting They're rather vague, so I'll interpret them as I see fit

Brooch making? Er. If you mean how to make the fellowship brooch from LotR, I used Sculpey clay: silver and two colors of green: dark green and iridecent seafoam green. If I had had more time I might have tried to work in a bit of real wire, but as it is it's only clay. Took me two practice leaves and a long time on the final one. Used my mother's clay modelling tools. Baked for however long in the old toaster oven retired for expressly that service (it stinks up your regular one). My mom glued the pin back on with hot glue, and secured it with a piece of leather. Savvy?

I saw a Shooting Star and I made a wish, will my wish come true? I hope so. Everyone should have their wish come true. And I'm a bit jealous. You got to see a shooting star? It's been a while.

John Mayer new cd? JM's new cd is called Heavier Things, and it will be available September 9th. It includes the great new single Bigger Than My Body, which is not at all what you think it's about. Also a great new song: Wheel. This song probably sounds better in concert, so you better find out when he's coming to town! Go buy it and support the stars.

and one from long ago:

Do you have a son? That would be a no. Need a guy to do that. Haven't had a boyfriend since high school.
