Stupid Day.

For those of you who may be laboring under the misconception that I am some sort of genius, I offer the following account of my day

While I LOVE the idea of a drive-by ejaculation *snickers*, this only goes to prove I think you and I live the same life at times. At least, when things go "Bung!!!!". This is how ALL my physical things at home tend to go.

I have to ask...are these LE decants different from the Lupercalia/Budding Moon/13 set we're getting soon? If so...gimme, gimme, gimme!!! (laughs) Have anything you want to trade? I don't have very many things I haven't shared with you yet, but there may be a few.

Did you ever get Jacob's Ladder? My mind is blanking right now...

Nechtan ;)

Someday, I'll give you the blow-by-blow of me teaching myself sumi-e and the compleat idiocy of me, inks, Oriental brushes that act nothing like our Western variety, and how I can manage to cover myself compleatly in any art pigment I am using.

Nechtan :)

LOL. This would be me... feeling your pain.

I'm reminded of 1987 when I, as a sophomore in high school, was rebuilding the carbouretor (because we were so po' we couldn't afford a mechanic) of my first vehicle. This entails using a can of carb cleaner that looks much like WD-40 up to and including the wee straw nozzle. The carb cleaner smells like death.

I'm being as detailed as possible, shooting this stinky crap into every tiny crevice when, of course, I managed to shoot myself directly in the eye when an arc of fluid hit a curved well in the carbouretor and ricocheted back at me.

It hit my eye, ran down my face, over my lips, down my chin, and soaked my hair. I spent an entire day half-blind and smelling like bitter, sour ass.

Phbbtttthhhllllargh!!!

Augh!

Man, that has got to be really freakin' unpleasant.

I'm impressed at your persistence. And quite curious now about the properties of different hair.

[flameelf]

That's one of the reasons I wanted to learn all this stuff...the persistence you can chalk up to being both Aquarian and VERY stubborn. I was determined I would learn this OR DIE

[naamah_darling]

See, that's the kind of layered, deep approach that I really love. I find that sort of thing endlessly fascinating.

Too bad you can't really make a brush out of snake anything. :/

[flameelf]

Whoops! On my way to the Post Office (to mail out more BPAL...snickers...) I remembered--another element is Wood. My memory is going!!

I think they removed "earth" and used "metal", and then there's fire, water, wood, and air...it's either that, or they removed "air", but wood and metal are in there.

Sigh. You can tell I haven't brush-painted for a year.

Nechtan :}

[naamah_darling]

It's Air, Wood, Fire, Metal, Water, I think. Which makes sense to me when I think about it.

[topknot]

LOL

An excellent tale! I'm amazed at your persistence. I'd have given up the moment I spilled something, I think, and chalked up to my not having been meant to master the skill.

[naamah_darling]

Eheheh. Sounds like my experiences trying to oil paint. Didn't go so well. No, no it didn't.

[naamah_darling]

Yeah, yeah! The three I'm going to decant when I'm having a less fucked-up day (and it only got more amusingly messed after I wrote this) are Jacob's Ladder, Rose Red '05, and Peacock Queen. I was going to decant some for you, gratis, since you've been so cool and generous and all that, I just hadn't gotten 'round to asking if you wanted some.

[flameelf]

Oh, yes, please! However, I have Jacob's Ladder, so you can send that decant to someone else.

*hugs*

Nechtan :)

*raises a hand*

Jacob's Ladder?

Please?

I will pay whatever you like, whether it's financial, emotional, literary, etc.

I just lost a snipe on a 5 ml of JL by 50 cents. Damn but I hate that.

*wiggles eyebrows*

Email me. You got it, right? (naamah at livejournal dot yadda yadda)
