Alive Again?

[greenstorm]

Yarg. I feel weird today. Probably comes from having a really topsy-turvy-busy schedule for the last while, plus sickness, plus the intensity of the light outside and the warmth (didn't wear a jacket today) plus the fact that I'm calling strangers re; apartments and stuff a lot.

Tonight I get to go be my character for awhile. I'm so sure that won't help matters. Tomorrow I really need to be sure and do something... normal... wait, do I even have a normal anymore? Anyone know where I can get cheap lumber, ideally 1x8s, to do some planter-boxes in the back?

Chris and I seem to be ...well, we're on sort of a schedule-juggling thing, where for the couple of hours a day he's home I'm out and vice versa. Busybusy. I'm really looking forward to the time when all this cals down - a good change for me, because usually this sort of things sends me screaming for the hills thinking I'll never see him again. I know I will, though, and I know it'll be better the longer it goes (within reason, heh) so I'm dealing pretty well. I feel anticipation, instead of panic.

Crocus are up out there. Quince buds are opening. Are you looking?

Did something really cool with Juggler last night - I made a collar with him. We sat down with some scraps of leather, some rivets, and some copper wire. We welded/pounded the wire into a D-ring, and cut/sewed/rivetted the thing together - the closure system is kinda cool and involves lacing. I really like/missed doing that sort of thing - looking at what you have and what you want to make, and fitting the bits available to your desired outcome. I've always wanted a wallful of collars, and given that this was a one-night thing, maybe I can actually do that. It's pretty, copper and dark green, and I thik I'm gonna go for matching bracers, maybe?

It's weird, I still can't find my bought collars, the ones I got with Kynnin and Jan that day.

Extra weird is how I'm not dating anyone with much interest in the collar as a power-signifier device or anything like that, so they're just pretty much ornamental for me right now.

I remember the first (only) time I went to Sin City, Kynnin had me on a collar and leash, and he really enjoyed/did well with it. It's funny, because he doesn't seem like that kind of person externally, while... oh, blah. Wanderings, here. It was a nice compatability thing between us that we never had a chance to explore much of.

I should probably poke Chris more about that sort of thing. I'm such a heavily symbolic person, and it feels good to run with it. I really don't know where he lies, though.

I think it's getting dark. Sigh. Time to go find something to eat or somethin'.

what would a wall full of collars mean to you?

Ability to select appropriately per situation. :)

I thought I saw the wide collar around quite a while ago... but I can't remember where. It might have been at HoM for all I know.

After you move you should come over and claim the rest of your stuff that's here. If we can both set aside an afternoon we can sit around and drink tea and go through boxes that never got unpacked. Oh, and I have a copy of Nausicaä for you.

Mouse said she'd looked around and hadn't found it thrre - that's where I'd thought both of them were.

That might be cool, if somewhat sad, to do. How are you for free afternoons per week?

*grin* C'n I get a copy of Les Batinses as well? o.O

[saxifrage00.livejournal.com]

Sure. :)

Yes, a bit sad, but... doable at this point, I think.

Oh, right. My weekends. They vary. I usually have a date on the Saturday though, and homework often needs doing Sunday night. I'm actually more free on the weekday afternoons since my classes all get out before 2:30.

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

Maybe a Thursday, then. They're pretty easy on me.

I'm actually not sure if it's doable, mainly because of the other existing tensions in related relationships, but I hope that's just paranoia on my part so would like to try.

Thursdays are often good because I only have an hour of class, and early.

Well, you've got a few weeks before worrying about it anyway, since there's no point in sorting through this stuff until you have your new place to put it in.
