Mar. 25th, 2009 04:38 pmIt seemed a better title than "miscellany" but doesn't mean the same thing. Ah well. I bought a lot of thread today. Jo-Ann's seemed to be clearing out a lot of embroidery thread. Great! Or, mm, is that bad? What about next time I come back? Hm. Half the hand-embroidery section was emptied out racks saying "Clearance!", which was a bit ominous.
I also, horrors, bought a lot of "linen-look blends". Linen/rayon. Fuck it, it drapes. I can't get 100% linen easily, and since I'm trying to get a reasonable wardrobe together for Pennsic and other things, I will do what I can do. I have an assortment of fabrics now, and need to bust through my stash. Everything I got, I had something in mind for. So I need to sit down and get sewing.
I got some glow-in-the-dark thread. Don't know what I'll do with it but it was a Halloween kit on clearance. Go me!
I am having sciatic nerve pain in my right leg. It's really, really annoying. Also painful.
I have not been getting enough sleep, for no good reasons. Also annoying.
But the other night, right after I was complaining about how I never have interesting dreams, I had a very vivid and lascivious dream in which I was making out with the legendary Beyonsláy. With whom, I should mention, I have never had the slightest acquaintance, and while I have admired her skating immensely, I confess I had never particularly been all that fascinated with her as a person. So it was an odd choice for my dreaming mind. But it was a vivid and pleasant dream. Not all that titillating, to look back upon, but I'm sure at the time I was very into it. I am sure she was too, because it would have been a really super-lame dream otherwise.
(I had intended to link to her profile page on gothamgirls.com, but it's down, apparently. Google her if you don't know who she is. The results are illustrative, I promise.)
At any rate, given how small this world is, I should state for the record that if Ms. Slay or any of her friends happen to read this, I respect her immensely as a skater but would not like to be creepy, and while I'm sure I wouldn't mind making out with her, I do not presently have any romantic or sexual designs upon her. Also I've heard she's in a committed relationship and of course would not desire to disrupt such in any fashion.
So that was one worth writing down, for a girl who never has interesting dreams. Wow.
