Wouldn't be any good for me if they are fragile ... I drop things

That just means you need to get something harder and more durable like diamonds or rubies or somethin'...

I say you make a list for Christmas. Your must haves.


1. Large diamond
2. Giant ruby
3. Enormous Emerald
4. Porsche
5. Peace on Earth
6. Feed all the hungry children
7. Brand new wardrobe
8. Jet to make visiting all lit friends easier.


I think your list should hit at least 20.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Diamonds? Rubies? yesssssssss orgasmic flutters .........

 

[Sara Crewe]

Diamonds? Rubies? yesssssssss orgasmic flutters .........

Focus, UYS!! Add to the list before the magic wish fairies all fly away. I say you add 'the right to buy at least one new pair of shoes' every week for the rest of you life.


Oh, and add a pair of beck and call twins. Seriously good looking and amazingly good masseuses.

Your number eight made me laugh. We can build a spider resort just off your property. Lure the spiders away from your house with promises of all the flies they can eat and forever sticky webs. I'll even move them over to their new home. I kinda like spiders. 'Round here they eat the more annoying and bite-y things.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Oh you are a kind girl ! I don't know why I don't like them apart from the way they scuttle (ugh) they say it's a learnt thing but no-one else in my family has the same problem. I'm not as bad as I used to be (must be mellowing with age!) at one time just the sight of one would have me standing on a chair and screaming, now I just set the dog on them. I can even look at big hairy ones in zoos (from a safe distance) but if they move I am gone. When we were in the Caribbean the guide said that oh yes they had tarantulas but they only came out at night ... well I am telling you missus I sat down at a BBQ on the beach and something awfully large with eight legs was sat on a palm tree within 6 feet of me and I was so proud of myself that I didn't disappear at a rate of knots

I think sometimes it is learned but some times it's just triggering something in you that cannot really be explained. I have never had a bad experience in the water, can swim very well (done triathlons and snorkelled etc...) but I suddenly can be overcome with a pretty intense fear sometimes when I am out in the water.

I saw the coolest spider exhibit ever when I went to the zoo in Washington DC. There wasn't any glass. Seriously. It was open. I asked the person who worked there how they could do that and he said why would 'she' leave? She has her web and we feed her crickets every day. 'She was a big beautiful spider.

You know that tarantulas are actually very fragile and they wouldn't risk coming near you on purpose. Their abdomens are as fragile as the skin on a tomato. Any falls or pressure and they die. Just saying. You're tougher than they are. Less poisonous, however.

 

[unpredictablebijou]

I can't get the idea of fragile amber chips outta my head.

Once again proving that I am a jewelery junkie.


Can we see pics, BJ?

I don't have the digital cam at the moment for this specific piece, but they're like this only somewhat smaller. Like half a peppercorn, about that size.

Yummy, but a pain in the ass. It's untreated amber, so they're very fragile. argh.

Happily, I'm done. I'd leave the shop cause I could actually go home early today but it's just so wonderful here in Lit that I can't tear myself away.

[LadynStFreknBed]

Ghost Hunters is on tonight. (Here in EST, it starts in a half hour.)

Then my story, "GhostHunters: The Old Brothel," should post later tonight according to the date on the pending submission.

enjoy!

Beautiful!

I like amber. I think it's partly because of what it actually is and also --I don't know why but it reminds me of my dad.

o yeah, and by the way, I thought about getting this for Sara for Xmas this year:

I have read they have their skeletons on the outside or something heck here's me having a serious discussion about of all things spiders and I don't even like saying the word I prefer 'nasties'!
I love the water I was born beside it and I adore travelling on it yet when it's dark still water I am afraid. I have the feeling I drowned quite young in my former life .... no don't laugh I remember bits!!

 

[Sara Crewe]

I wish you could heard the laugh that evoked.

I'm still grinning.

I'd bring that to work if it wouldn't get me fired.

There is probably something to that. I am sure there is a reason for your feeling.

I have a couple of things that make me feel very strongly but I have no conscious memory of them in this life that would explain those feelings.

Oh, like anyone would have the brass balls to fire you if you were aiming that at them.

"Ms. Crewe, we'd like to make you department head, beginning immediately. Your salary will be tripled and you have full tenure and a four billion dollar retirement package. Just don't hurt us, please."

There is that.

I'm nice about it though.

Usually means people aren't a hundred percent sure I just threatened them.

That's why i like that gun. it's a metaphor for me. Just cause I'm pink don't mean I won't take you down.

 

[unpredictablebijou]

Yeah I'm not generally into guns. But that one really caught my eye.

I do think sometimes fears might be past life things. I have a completely irrational fear of the desert. I visit a friend in Vegas occasionally and I seriously won't go anywhere without clutching a huge water bottle like it's a crucifix and I'm surrounded by vampires. I'm tense the whole time I'm there. She makes fun of me. She keeps saying "but the desert is so beautiful" and I say, "I'm not arguing that. It's lovely, really. But it wants to kill me. I can hear it."

I swear, whenever I'm out there, I can hear this faint echo of someone saying, "No, honestly, California is just over that next hill" just as I finish dying of thirst.

I diagnose one of two things:

1. You died in a desert in a past life orrrr

2. You watched too many Bugs Bunny versus Yosemite Sam cartoons when you were young and the voice you hear is Bugs saying, "agua..."

I'm so sensitive. Why I didn't become a clinical psychologist is beyond me...

*gigglesnortcoffeespew*

O thank you doctor. I'm cured!

I saw an Abbot and Costello movie once where they're in a desert and they see a mirage of an ice cream stand staffed by a really hot chick. Costello actually gets a malted and drinks some before Abbot talks him down.

I always watch for that, but all I've ever seen is those silly shimmery things. Where the hell's my chocolate malted? And that chick in that little striped dress?

Your welcome. That'll be one Hello Kitty gun, please. Pay up.



You aren't drinking enough scotch before you go into the desert.


Geez. I have to tell you everything.

Geez. I have to tell you everything.

It's cause I open my eyes to a new world with every blink.

I think "drink more scotch" is in general always a good idea.

In fact, I really must go. There's a very sexy bottle of Oban 20 calling me, as well as a lovely dinner and some damn fine companionship. Not that yours isn't, but I mean.

everyone behave while I'm gone. The booze is right here; help yourself. And for god's sake, do what Sara says when she's got that thing loaded.

[Sara Crewe]

Love that line.



Go let the oban lick your throat and warm you inside and out.


I promise I won't shoot anyone.



Above the knees.

panties and spiders

Congrats to all the participants on the Poetry for the People 2 Panties challenge. All hail Sassy, and UYS. And pleased to be on a rung with you, Sara. Underwear is a pretty compelling topic around here, clearly. Wonderful challenge BJ.

And spiders are cool so long as they aren't lowering themselves onto my sleeping body. (I woke up to that last week and the thing was huge!!)

I was hoping to find the drinking game somewhere and see how one would fair with my story.. but, I couldn't find a good version of it online.
