Thursday

Oddity's b'day will be the Goblin Ball. Preparations are underway for decorating the ballroom at Bube's into a madman's idea of the marriage of Labyrinth, Legend, Frankenstein's Bride and an asylum. Okay, a madwoman's idea...

Getting my Goblin Ball outfit together - pink and blue and white. I have to get baby pink and baby blue fishnets and work with the lacy materials I have in the backroom, plus find ballet shoes in both colors and horns in both pink and blue. Yes, that's the outfit theme.

The suggestion was made to give b'day spankings to the dj and to my Oddity. Key operative term: MY ODDITY. gotta get over this severe possessiveness.

Egoista y codiciosa. si pudiera serlo; mi lado oscuro quere tenerlo todo. pero no voy arriesgar un amor limpio, claro y puro por tratar de tener los dos lados contentos. Pero que dificil es estar enamorada de dos.

What's In My Kitchen?: Rambling Thoughts on Silicone Bakeware

This is just one post, but I like reading this blog. Writes well, speaks easily, very informative. I recommend it.

One More Song Down! I'd been searching for a song that I found out was by Nitzer Ebb and was named something that I'd never heard in the song. Well, I found it on youtube quite by accident. Then I forgot the title.. but found it again. Tried to remember the title. Had to ask Kiltboy about the title by asking about the band, 'cause the words of the song I remembered and liked so much were pretty much like the lyrics to another song by Aphex Twin (I think). So I finally found the song's name and band and I had told Oddity.

Well, this weekend, while I was giving my Oddity a full body massage, he had cued that song - I did NOT know he owns the cd - and I know I had been going on and on about wanting this song (not available on Napster or PureTracks etc and I am NOT going to risk using LimeWire atm) and while I was listening to the album, I casually told him I'd do anything to hear Lightning Man.

And then it played.

That feeling was ALMOST like sex. I thought I was going to totally cream myself over the song. He had it. I could get it. OMG.

Whatever Oddity wants, he will get. THAT is how I get about my music. I now have it on my computer, on my mp3 players and on my myspace profile.

It seems some story was told
but what is there to tell?
Well, some song had been sung
but none of it sings
so let's spell it out
a, b, and c.
Up and down from a is to z
you meant zed, you said zed

From nothing to something
and something for nothing.
From no one to someone
from someone to same one
same old thing.
The only way out
leads to no way back.
What can you do?

Easy
You shove it back where it came
Easy
You never let yourself down

So you got up
and you ran
and you run to get up.
Through chinatowns
to slip right down
soho's a town in every downtown.

Drinking friends
who've drunk in bars
whose drunken friends
in drinking bars, waiting
for the lightning man to strike.

Icing on your cake.
well if i knew you were coming
i'd cut you you a piece.

Baby come to daddy
baby come to daddy
baby come to daddy
daddy's come to baby
daddy's come to baby
come to daddy
baby
baby come to daddy

Easy
You shove it back where it came
Easy
You never let yourself down

You better be careful out there
You be careful out there
You better be careful out there
You be careful
You ain't gonna get far
You better be careful out there
You ain't gonna get far
You ain't gonna get far
You be careful out there
You ain't gonna get far
You ain't gonna get far
You be careful out there
You better be careful out there
We're gonna pluck you off
You better be careful out there
You ain't gonna get far
You ain't gonna get far
We're gonna pluck you off
We're gonna pluck you off
We're gonna pluck you off

Baby come to daddy
daddy's come to baby
daddy's come to baby
come to daddy
come to baby
baby come to daddy
daddy's come to baby
come to daddy

Easy
You shove it right back down
Easy
You never listen to this
I dreamt:

That werewolves, vampires, fae, elementals, etc - were outed and the general panic had already subsided and these creatures were taken for granted. There were also humans who were 'guardians' in that they were able to negotiate/pacify/work with these creatures should problems occur.

Well, college campus. Werewolves usually manifested in adolescence, so they were still in learning phase when they were sent to college. At this college, the elementals would haze the newly arrived werewolves. There was an established security system made of guardians and vampires (nighttime) along with representatives of either side.

New werewolves were either going missing or found dead. I was a new guardian and my friend was a new werewolf. He had to go back to his dorm (all in one building, really, the various dorms) and I walked him to his dorm and we had a confrontation with some rogue elementals that ended up in arbitration because I accused them of murdering the new werewolves and I would fight to protect my friend.

The dream ended while I was in negotiations with the leader of the elemental faction on campus.

It was odd. I enjoyed it.
Now that I got THAT out of the way....

I can't see the day my kids let me live in peace. I just want a place of my own, nice and quiet, where I can retreat to at the end of the day and possibly have a friend or three over. Where I can feel it is my safe haven from the world. Where I can display my own stuff - witchcraft, Wicca, Halloween, Spiders, music, books, silliness - all mine. Where my books can surround me and keep me safe.

Where I can put my clothes and not have them borrowed, or line up my shoes and only my dog messes them up. Where I can store my bags and my stuff. Where I can curl up with my dog to watch a program on the telly or my computer. Or I can curl up with my Oddity and be loveydovey. Where I can cook my way, and smell up the house, and no one complains. Where I can have my own types of foods. Where I could just be me.

"I would like a place I could call my own
have a conversation on the telephone
wake up every day, that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was upset, you see
almost all the time
you used to be a stranger
now you are mine."

This MAY be TMI. Be Warned. It's of a HIGHLY personal and slightly sexual nature. I just had to get it out SOMEWHERE.

Yes, dear.. unfortunately it does hurt a little. I don't want you to stop. But that's pretty much why you get what you like the most... because otherwise I'd be bruised inside. It's not unpleasant. Just the way we're built. I just don't want you worrying or panicking that you're hurting me. Which is why I don't answer you or tell you straight out that it does. But... note what we do most of the time...

It still feels very very good.
