Alive Again?
Feb. 2nd, 2005 04:37 pmYarg. 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'.
