some days, i am very proud of these skin and bones. this ink and dye. i feel soft and i curve in nice places and i catch scents behind my ears and knees and i stretch and bend and bones peek out and i want people to grab them or bite them or maybe just caress their fingers against them. some days my eyes are very very green and they feel sparkly in

i like the new userpic.

how're things?

[kiss_your_elbow]

the new userpic was taken by the boyfriend, and i love it. i figured it was about time i updated it.

and things are good. and bad. and i don't know, life. :) i think i am doing a good job of surrounding myself with what's good as much as i can. boy is good, job is strange but is taking me to portugal, burlesque is fun but gossip filled, friends are good i just don't see enough of them.

how are you?

[mathteacher]

is your hair rainbow-colored now, or is that a photo-editing effect?

portugal??!!!? um, what are you doing now and/or where are you working?

i'm... something. trying to survive is kind of how i'd describe it, but that makes it sound much worse than it is. i just started a job today and i've got all kinds of professional activities going on, as always, but mostly, life is kind of dull and i don't interact all that much, especially not outside my little corner of the professional community.

its currently yellow, orange, and green. and i still work at the museum, but my boss is taking me along on a personal trip of hers. i'm researching vintage stores there, so we can check them out and she can write it off as a business expense.

the trip arrangement sounds pretty cool. as does your hair.

i too am trying to survive ;)

[mathteacher]

seems like you're doing a pretty good job of it, too :)

maybe one day in the hopefully-not-too-distant future we'll get to see each other again?

[kiss_your_elbow]

i hope so! let me know if you're coming my way, and i'll let you know if i'm passing through there.

should i try (when i again have free time, which will be a few months) to snag our mutual friend from around here and aim for a show of yours?

[kiss_your_elbow]

ha! that would be awesome!

[mathteacher]

i tried to see if our mutual friend was up for a road trip this weekend, but didn't hear back from her...

... so i snagged a friend of mine who has never been to st. louis nor to a burlesque show and she and i will be a-comin' to town on saturday (leaving sunday late morning). hopefully that's long enough to at least say hello and whatnot.
