Wha...? I take a nap and the meme explodes with picspam and pie.
Anyway. Moving on.
Oh man, I am so exhausted. I spent most of the afternoon and evening walking around in the heat. Crazy at the time, but mmm, do I ever feel good now. It's that relaxed lull that comes after that sort of thing. I have a touch of sunburn on my cheeks, but it's nothing big, and it'll go away soon. Excellent.
I'd hoped to find some certain things at the used bookstore. I didn't, but I found other things. They had a copy of Gregory Scofield's The Gathering: Stones For The Medicine Wheel, which I found very surprising. It's higlighted, but not much, and I don't really mind. Mostly I'm just happy that I have more of his poetry. This volume is really hard to find. HOWEVER. This doesn't compare to the other book I found. Eee~ The Baltic Revolution: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Path to Independence by Anatol Lieven. as;odlkjsdf It's so hard to find books on the Baltic States here that I nearly sqee'd when I saw it (though I did manage to restrain myself). 'n they had it for half the price I would pay from Amazon. I'm so happy~
Unfortunately, most of the other things I did when I was out and about were unremarkable. I went down to McNally Robinson to get Scofield's Singing Home The Bones for
tikula, because I want to send her a copy of it, but unfortunately they were all sold out of Scofield's work, sob. I wonder if Turning the Tide still has a copy... maybe I should have checked there first. Crap goddamnit.
Tomorrow I'll have to go out and about again. Well, that's a good thing! I think I might try to do this every second day or so. Soak up the sun. Mm. That's what I'll be doing on Sunday too. Soaking up sun, I mean. Ah~ Speaking of Solstice, I scrapped the idea of getting some booze for that day. I can't really afford it. The gods will have to be content with grape juice. :|
Mm. That day. I wish I had someone to celebrate it with. It just isn't the same by oneself. I'd love to do up a nice supper and share it with someone. But I don't really know any other pagans here, as I tend to stay away from such communities due to not quite fitting in there in many ways, so. Won't happen. Even so, today I found myself thinking of a certain person, someone I don't know well at all, but admire, who seems to be that sort of person. And I found myself wondering what it would be like to just stay a while and talk with them. Maybe I'd learn something, or maybe we'd just have a good conversation. It would be nice. Mm, but now I feel like a creeper.
OH. OH. On a more positive note. I received the letter
odifen sent me. She has such lovely handwriting. Very unusual, and hard to read, but eeee, there's something about it that looks almost medieval, and I love that. So, I'll be writing a reply to her very soon, probably tomorrow. Also, I received the birthday card
hyperbeeeam sent me! (Girl, your name has too many Es in it. I keep forgetting and always have to go check :| ). Anyway, aksldjf YOU GUYS she drew me the most gorgeous Est/Fin and Swe/Nor pictures in the history of everything. I am so not kidding. I am just sakdkf IN SHOCK and so happy and EEEE. Oh darlin'. My dear, I swear, if I could I would hug you, because you are like the SWEETEST THING EVER.
Anyway. I think that's it for today. Sorry I haven't been commenting y'all, I'm so behind on my FList. ;~; I'll try to catch up soonish.
Anyway. Moving on.

Date: 2009-06-19 07:57 am (UTC)I KNOW. I don't see how people get by without it. "you all" just sounds---wrong.

Date: 2009-06-19 08:03 am (UTC)AND I KNOW, RIGHT. I mean, I do hear "you guys" a lot, which is fine - but when you get into posessives it just sounds dumb. "Y'all's" = all right. "You guys's" = wat.

Date: 2009-06-19 08:13 am (UTC)Your girly card is socute aahhhh~~ EARLY WELL-WISHES ARE BEST because then it's like, a total surprise, and I'm all, wheeeeeee~
[Oh my dear, of course I liked it. Tsk tsk, you. I've noticed you saying such things and really, you're far too picky about your art. I know most people are never satisfied with what they produce - and I'm certainly not with my own stuff, either - but trust me, I mean it when I say, your work is excellent ♥]
And yes, 'tis coming up~ until earlier in the week, I'd forgotten about it completely, so I'm glad I remember now. But as for that person - well, we don't know each other offline (and barely know each other online), and they live in a different country, so. I shan't be speaking to them. xD Ah, but I do like to imagine sometimes about what it would be like to hang out with them (and certain other people, too).
