now that the money is in the bank, i can get tons more tattoos. i cant wait to get more work done on my sleeve/chest piece. i hope to get the chest piece finished up within the next two months, and the sleeve worked on during the summer. its just a shame that there are very few of what i would consider top rate artists around the somerset area, and the ones that are top-rate, i just can't go to. also, my ears are stretching really easily. the last time i had them stretched it was to a 00 about 3 or 4 years ago, and i had the urge to want to do it again and keep them. my right ear was already at an eternal 4-6 so it was no problem putting the larger ring in and getting now to a 2. my left ear, however, had to be restarted at a 10 and is now down to a 4. i want them to be rather large so i can order some wooden/other organic material plugs from http://organicjewelry.com/ i want the big wooden spirals (like you used to have when i lived with you, [info]parisisenough.

why is it whenever my mom calls to talk to me/bitch at me, i imagine us conversating like people on the sims with little thought bubbles over our heads, imagining what whoever is playing us is seeing?

my tulips have came and are starting to wane. im glad i didnt plant the lettuce like i was supposed to, its supposed to snow on monday :(
i really hope shyla moves out of kia's old house. im more than starting to get antsy here.  im sewing sebastian a vest. it has a bad brains patch on it. i also made bread from scratch today. crusty french loaf. i wish sebastian would stop biting my boob.

i am really excited about the mixcd project. essentially, we compile a mix cd of songs we love/reflect us/etc. then we make ten (more or less) with customizations-- artwork/liner notes/ whatever. then we exchange them with ten people who do the same with the same people we do. that way we get nine new cds and give other people a chance to get to know us & get new music. i just need more people to do it. right now i have two separate projects going on with this, one for people in somerset, and one for people in whitesburg. im also working on the magpie zine.. its gonna be swell. i love zines.

i love bikes more though. i cant wait to go out riding with sebastian. [info]lucidwakingintroduced me to the bikepunk co-op in cincinatti. that shit is amazing, and reminds me of old school whitesburg. it also makes me a tad-sad because there's noone around here who'd want something like that. just me :\  actually, i think sebastian would be down for a bikepunk good time.

sebastian has learned in the past few months how to hug, and give kisses. in the past 3 weeks he has learned how to blow bubbles with a bubble wand. today, he said "lub you". its the sweetest thing ever.

so I ended up not going to eat indian in lexington, because i realized halfway there that there was an intense blizzard going on. noone told me!

my friend darcy died a couple months ago. it was sad and it sucked, but i only recently discovered that she had a livejournal, as i was deleting items in my email sent folder and found a link she had sent to me about spoil_me_dh. and god, is it weird for me. [info]ladystrange2000. it makes me wonder: i'm so terribly liberal i consider myself a democratic socialist. would we have still been good friends if we had saw each other's livejournal?

i have been so incredibly thirsty for about a week now and I dont know why. I started taking this incredibly expensive multi vitamin because i thought that a) it would keep me from getting sick, sharply reducing doctor bills for me so I can focus more on sebastian and b) so sebastian could get the trickle-down effect from me, since i do breastfeed him. but now, after only a day, my head feels stuffed up, im itchy and my hands have some kind of weird red rash. i dont know if im just allergic to something in it or if its a psychosomatic reaction accompanying a sinus problem. A quick websearch reveals someone who became allergic to it and developed serotonin syndrome, so that's fun, especially since sebya takes montelukast, and him feeding from me plus that could be unfortunate.

sebastian is the best best best. he counts now, says "i love you!", gives these minute long hugs (squeeeeeze) and feeds himself! now all we have to do is wean (which i'm not looking foward to at all, and i don't feel he's ready for yet) and potty train, which is coming soon.

i love sebya so much, i just don't understand how all these women can continue to smoke and drink mountain dew and eat nothing but crap all day, when they're pregnant and then feel good about themselves. even worse, are all the people who are pregnant and continue to use cocaine, oxycontin or whathave you. selfish assholes.

its raining ice. WHERE ARE YOU SUMMER? oh well, one week til leaving for this. pictures included!

how come noone told me that pink flamingos is the most vile movie ever made? were i any normal woman, i would have puked. but me, having a history of ex-boyfriends that peruse wonderful sites that feature the "corpse of the week", i just laughed and averted my eyes. john waters and my pal sharon are enough to go to baltimore for though. or really, sharon is enough, john waters is like the olive garnish.
the movie elizabethtown was sweet. seb was with my mom last night for some holiday gatherings and christmas shopping, so i took the alone time to bond with 7/10ths of a bottle of reggae red, red wine and pizza, and watch it. it was no groundbreaking piece of cinema, but i liked the kissing scenes. and the fact that its totally kentucky.

about that english project:
"You made me laugh aloud! Thank you for that right in the middle of grading all the exams and papers. Yes, spacing was off, but did not prevent the reading in any serious way. Unless you are a playwright by night, this is a surprising effort on your part. You made an attempt to keep your characters true to their nature while finding humor in the situation you had placed them in. I do hope you will post this in Q&A or End of Semester forums for the other students to enjoy. Also, I would like to keep this and clean it up a bit in terms of spacing, etc. to share with future students if you will allow it. Enjoy the holidays!"

It raised my grade a whole letter. really, a miracle.

i decided i want to be the johnny appleseed of tulips. i want to plant dutch tulips everywhere this spring. my garden did fairly well, but not well enough. we just used the last of the tomatoes we canned for chili. kia had 90 jars of tomatoes though, so i think we'll be alright.

the fallen's video shoot is on sunday. its gonna be fun. i stayed up til 3 last night screenprinting shirts for the director's movie project in exchange for his production expertise and video equipment for their video. what's funny is that the shirts are all about a horror movie, and they have some burly man on them with the quote, "rest in peace you skanky whore!" LOL. sounds promising. mark has 9 billion screens in his shop, mostly black metal bands.

so, someone in one of the attachment parenting communities that I'm a member of was talking about the "cry it out" method of parenting. basically what happens is that you're ready to go to sleep, so you put your little one in its crib and don't get back up. you just let it cry, and eventually, it will go to sleep. i mean really, how cruel! think about it. why would you leave someone to their feelings of lonliness and abandonment, when all they really want is the warmness of their mommy (and/or daddy)? especially when they're trying to vocalize their feelings the only way that babies know how, and you ignore them? the reason they quit crying, eventually, is that they realize that their cries are futile. their pleas for help, love and their parent's touch don't get them anywhere. they have been abandoned. i can't believe some of the babies that i see out there. [info]quepid and i were talking not too terribly long ago about the blank stares and blank expressions that some kids seem to keep. no wonder our society sucks, and people are desperate for love/money/something to feel the void. the logic i use is that if we were out in the wilds of the jungle as early homosapien, i would be sleeping right next to him for fear of him being eaten by predators, or freezing. besides, i can't imagine not sleeping beside sebastian. he's my little cuddle bug.

i wish i had the money to buy everyone nalgene bottles for christmas/hanukkah/kwanzaa/yule/etc. that's what i'd like to do some year.
my nalgene is my best friend.
