oiranI am finding my own attitude very ugly these last couple of days. I have such a greedy skull, I'm never satisfied, and then I sulk. Of course, it's in good portion due to hormones, but I can't discount that I'm not feeling very pretty on the inside lately as a completely separate issue.
any 3 questions: Anyone want to ask me anything? Or, rather, three anythings? I'm in a tell-all mood... And I think you're supposed to ask people to do the same, but I won't hold you to it.
I finished Kicky's skirt. It's about an inch too big in the waist, which means I have to pick everything out again, at least at the waist. I think the weight of the fabric pulled it out a bit. Well, now I know for next time I sew a sequin mermaid-ish skirt with a train and detachable double ruffle. However, she's going to go ahead and wear it as-is to the photo shoot next week. At that time, I hope to have photos to show everyone how fabulous my skillz are. I'm really proud of this. I know it's got incredibly limited utility, but it's just damn cool in its little category. And, I made it. I hadn't made anything in about two years, and all of those were fat clothes, for me, and not shiny or pretty. Once I've got this project out of the way, I can work on the jacket for myself that I've got all planned out.

Date: 2004-04-16 11:22 am (UTC)I focus on how the songs sound leading into one another (including the end and beginning tracks for autorepeat players), and sometimes I have vague thematic ideas, but usually any deeper meaning comes from Mr. Glove listening and explaining to me. He does the same with my dreams, and I almost always agree with him. I can interpret anyone and anything but myself, apparently.
2) I'm a very dissatisfied person. The notion of being consistently happy in any place or situation is completely foreign to me. But any place where I have really cold water, mud-thick coffee, and someone I like to talk with is going to be a happy place.
3) I was an oddly mature child; I'm an oddly immature adult. My 10-year-old self was old for her years, but very naive in many ways. My parents did me a favor, in a way, by teaching me nothing and giving me no guidance--basically, they smoked a lot of pot and preached a lot of platitudes via Beatles lyrics. When reality ran counter to information like, "Love is all you need," I was surprised and deeply wounded. I was well into my 20s before I stopped being shocked by how cruel and strange people could be. I don't think I'm jaded now, but I also don't feel like I've lost anything that a 10-year-old me would have valued. I still like dolls and make-believe and writing stories. I still think both boys and girls are pretty. I like animals and shiny things and velvet and cake. I no longer pretend I'm a horse, but that's the major difference.

Date: 2004-04-16 12:16 pm (UTC)I now, of course, had to go look, since my brain went "new mix? where? what?" and I had no recollection. Now, of course, the question is, just how big is that file? Part of me says, yay, new mix!, while the other part says, yes, but you're on dialup, that evil of evils. Damn.
I'm completely intrigued by the "transistor radio" mix, and I never thought you took your mixes anything but seriously. Hence, my question. :)

I actually specifically noticed this on Landscape. I'll have to pay more attention on the others, next time.

Those are excellent choices, and they make me smile. :)

But you know, I hear you have glorious hair, and I can completely see you tossing it as if it were a mane. It's actually a pretty nice little picture up there in my head. It's all reddish and shiny, and tosses nicely. I forget--isn't it actually red, or am I completely making that up? Hrm.

And my hair is reddish. In fact, that's one of my few complaints about it: I've been trying for a dark, ashy brown for years, but it always turns chestnutty, and now that summer (and sun) is coming, Ive' decided to work with it instead of against it this year. Highlights! I'll go lighter and be calico for a few months...

I think the real question here is, will you purr? Because, I mean, purring.
