Ithaca Hours

admin | May 30, 2006

Waldorf ? or The ?Dorf as I call it ? is growing by leaps and bounds.
You can tell by all of the dead trees laying all over the place.
I have always had a love-hate relationship with Waldorf, and Charles County in general. I like that the setting is somewhat suburban, but I?m not all [...]

Peace Man

Janis Joplin is howlin? on the tv right now.
I got a Woodstock documentary. Wow.
My multi-disc cd?s haven?t arrived yet.
Will is putting together the scroll saw to cut out wood shapes I drew onto a piece of wood. I am going to make garden stakes ? yard art. It?s also good for cutting [...]

Festival Hangover

admin | May 25, 2006

The fairy festival was above all things a learning experience - as is the first time for most things.
A Myspace friend, Nick came out and was *very* sweet and supportive. Jackie and Alan came by which made me feel good too. Will's cousin Lynne, who is a festival veteran, gave us some encouraging [...]

Get Rich Quix(tar) Schemes

admin | May 18, 2006

Remember Scamway - I'm sorry, I mean Amway?
Well, now it’s Quixtar – sort of.

I don’t want to go into WHY I know this, and hell no I’m not involved in that nonsense – even as a young woman that crap never interested me.
 
People would approach me and ask me if I wanted to [...]

Make-up artists and models wanted…

admin | May 17, 2006

This is the note I've put on Myspace. Please pass the word along if you know anybody who is interested, short, tall, old, young (18 or older please) skinny, fat, whatever.
I am looking to begin a project on faeries and elves - which I will be working on all summer long.
I need volunteer models [...]

Random Friday

admin | May 12, 2006

Notaries are hard to find in Waldorf. Unless you know where to look ? which we didn?t at first. Damned time-sensitive documents!
I think I?m ovulating. I?m wanton. Oh yeah.
Rained a tiny bit today ? with sun shining I was hoping for a rainbow. Haven?t seen one yet.
You - yeah, YOU ? [...]

Fairy Skills

admin | May 9, 2006

Okay, so I hear boys like girls with skills. Oh…no…wait a minute, that's girls like guys with skills, so I don't have anything to worry about.
Anyway, as part of my fairy photography experimentation I have taken a few photos of my lovely daughters. Yes, Mrs. Barlett has some lovely [...]

Is life just one big compromise?

admin | May 9, 2006

I've been going through a lot of emotions lately. Part of it is just a bunch of weird problems going on - like the plumbing issues in the master bathroom and my scanner acting up. I'm also coming away from something rather significant and emotional that happened (and lasted) from the end [...]

Midsummer Night Dreams

admin | May 7, 2006

Robert and Will took me out to see A Midsummer Night's Dream at Port Tobacco Players Theatre in La Plata last night. I loved seeing the faeries on the stage, doing their little dances, making mischief and tucking themselves into corners of the "forest." The girl who did the choreographing did a nice job. The [...]

Whispers and echoes.

admin | May 5, 2006

Sometimes I am reminded of a moment, or a person. Whispers and echoes in the corner of my heart and mind.
Something found that I keep, something lost that I wonder about.
I think of you sometimes, not because of what did happen between us, but because of what didn't.
Edge of Seventeen

Stevie Nicks

Fairy Stressed

admin | May 3, 2006

I'm sitting here and it's 1:38am.
My mind is racing but my body is starting to get tired. My eyes are dry and my neck is hurting.
I can hear the sounds of a woman crying and screaming on the television in the other room. It's down low because everybody is wisely tucked [...]

I cannot help but wonder.

admin | May 1, 2006

I cannot help but wonder if you feel powerful because of it.
The gash is healing
the chasm not so wide
but the wound is visible
and weeping
still.
I cannot help but wonder if you are truly sorry for your past transgressions
as you claimed
or what you do and who you affect
would matter more to you.
I try not to be angry [...]
