Today is a sad day.  Both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson lost their lives on this same day; Thursday, June 25th, in the year two-thousand and nine.  :(((((

  

If you didn't already know, Mr. Jackson was an amazing singing & dancing talent, who was a massive icon in the 80s and nineties, and who also took major steps to help children in Africa, fight poverty on that continent as well as world-wide, and break cultural and color barriers in music as well as in modern popular culture.   Ms. Fawcett is noted for zooming to stardom on the iconic show "Charlie's Angels," (amongst other roles) and did a great deal of work w/charities dealing with domestic violence.  


You both sparkled so very brightly for the world- did so much and gave so much of yourselves with your gifts and your philanthropic efforts.  I'm sure you could have done so much more on this plane if you'd been given more time...  But for what it's worth, thanks for all that you have done.  Your presence will be sorely missed, no doubt throughout the world, now that you're gone from it.

Love, Light and Peace to you Both in Your Passing.

"Did you miss your prom, or waste it crying in the gym bathroom?  Get revenge at the artist social Zombie prom. Dress in your best prom or zombie attire and makeup.  See your fellow artists as you've never seen them before. Held on the 7th floor. The undead can dance, too! 


The Artist Social - an event for artists to cut loose and eat flesh - is an Artomatic tradition. This year, we're throwing a prom for zombies.  Get decked out in your best prom gear, dress up like a zombie, or a little of both!

The party will feature face makeup by celebrated DC makeup artists, so remember to bring a few regular non-zombie humans to come so we get some fresh membership!

We will also have a roving staff of talented photographers to capture the special memories we all remember from past Zombie Proms. Light refreshments will be provided, and music from A-Ron will get everyone to dance their zombie faces off!"

Sounds neat, huh?? 
Come w/me Sunday night and dance the night away; in classic prombie fashion! ^_^

I'm in a hotel w/my two kitties, True Blood has just started on the only major cable station available in the room in preparation for the 2nd season premiere that's coming up this weekend, and w/any luck, I'll be somewhere that I'm able to see it. :)  I have a comp. to keep in touch w/people and do research, and that True Blood theme has gotta be the sexiest country song I ever dun hrrrd. *giggles*

Love to All,
Nae

My last little rat Shadow has finally passed away.  I was just informed by my friend who was keeping him temporarily during this crazy moving shite.. and now he's gone...  I am so very glad I had the chance to pet him one last time before he went away.. and that- if he had to go, he was around other little rattie friends at the time- to ease his passing.  I only wish that I had been there, to tell him I love him one last time.

Hopefully I'll get his body soon, and be able to send him and his brother off in classic Viking style.. on the little lake my parents have in Front Royal.. since there no permanent place to bury them...

Fuck...!  This sucks so hard...  I feel like such a shit rat-mommy...

I love you little man.  I hope you know that- and knew that every day of your little life, throughout all the trials and troubles, all the ups and downs- and whether we were near or not.

You were so special to me...  And you always will be.

Love Love Love Love Love you Always, My Little Man,
Your Very Mournful Mommy

As of some time Sat. night I'll be going off the grid until.. well.. until I'm back on. ;)   I don't know when that'll be, so if you need me, please feel free to phone me on my cell.  Love to all of yous if I don't see you for a bit- and HOPEFULLY I'll be going out to DC Tribal Cafe this Sunday, as well as various other local events (like Art-o-Matic and Pride) later on in the coming weeks.  Hopefully I'll be back online by then, but just in case:


Love you!
Nae

 Just broke a glass in the kitchen (an irreplaceable sun/moon/star one from the Pottery Plant in Williamsburg),. I'm at a stand-still in the kitchen-packing because I don't have the proper supplies, (not enough bubblewrap or big enough boxes- my egg-donor gave me a ZILLION little tiny ones that don't fit JACK), and I don't have a FUCKING CAR TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT...!

Can anybody trade their lives for mine for a while?  Just a little while??  
Please?  
PLEASE?

EDIT:  Doing a little better.  Thought sideways and figured some solutions out.  Yay for creativity and ingenuity!  -And for the pack-rat instincts that made me keep some DHL & FedEx boxes (from my old job) which could be torn up to be used as kitchen-stuffs padding. 

♥ to all,
Nae

On Sunday, May 31st, might anyone be available to help me move, in exchange for reasonable reimbursement + foodses?

I have FAR less than I did moving in & everything's broken up into small boxes (so everything is rather managable), but it's gonna suck being just me and my mom.  Because my formerly-upcoming landlord has renegged, I tried extending my lease here as I've nowhere else to go yet, but it's a no-go.  Therefore as it stands I have no idea exactly where it's all going to be put, but storage seems the most likely option.  

Any help would be -greatly- appreciated, & payment (as well as food options) are open to discussion.

Thank you SO much if you can help and are available. *cyberhugs*

Sat. night I got super-silly, had ONTS of fun out w/Jessi on her b-day celebration night @ Midnight, and just had a great ol' time. ^_^

Sunday night I headead out to Goth Prom, and.. well.. ( see for yourself. :) )

Tonight was unbelievably good.
This morning was utter hell.
I'm taking a perc (or maybe two) and sleeping until I wake up.
If there's an emergency, call me on my house phone.  
Otherwise, please let me sleep.  I'll deal with Life Monday morning.
Goodnight All.

1. is something a lover of mine & I bought @ a renaissance festival together.  It symbolized he and I, the fallen angel and the fairy, flying together while in an embrace.  (I know, cheesy sappy, sappy cheesy).   I love the piece for both its former emotional significance as well as for what it is in simple, artistic form.  (I.e. I like the sculpture as just a sculpture, too.)  But it's also kind of painful  to see/have/keep around.. as that relationship didn't end well, and though I might like to resume it if given the chance again, I don't think it will ever come to that...
So.. what do you think?  Should I get rid of this, or no..?


2. is a wraught iron candelabra, which I like a lot, but which *can* go...


It has no suuuuper-special significance, other than that I likes its style muchly, and I have some adorable memories of it & my kitties being entangled in each other when they were kittens.  Peoples' Exhibit A:


Any public opinion on these?  I'd love peoples' advice on these two.

Many Thanks,
The Junk Lady

but just now as I'm trying to finish up my computer duties so I can get back to packing, I encountered -literally- 3 inches in which to read a friend's message, and that pissed me right off.  So I wrote Hotmail about it, in one of the angrier tones I think I ever have written any formal company...

( I've placed the note I wrote them here, for record-keeping purposes. If you'd like, feel free to read on. If not, I hope at least HM gets it. ;P )

 Saturday I just went over to my mom's place, chilled downstairs and work on my grandmother's Mother's Day portrait, while listening to Torchwood.  Stayed up rrreeeallly late, but got up at 6 n' was okay. :)  Mum & I went down to my gramma's in Harrisonburg to help her do some yardwook, & since I'd not expected to do so & no one had any sunscreen, I ended up spending the morning in my fancy 3/4 sleeve red blouse (fully buttoned up) and a wide-brimmed witches' hat that my grandmother happened to have in her garage. *grins*  (It was the only thing w/a considerable brim.  -Gotta keep a consistant palor for the movie I'm in- as I'm not done filming my char's scenes! ;D)  The wind kept trying (and succeeding) to snatch the chapeau right off my head, making it frustrating as hell to keep the hat on AND get any gardening done. :P  (Ya shouldda seen me trying to rake & sweep one-handed while attempting to keep the dern hat on. *grins*  I felt like such a Victorian lady, gardening in all my full-cover, fancy duds. *lol*)  Eventually I just ended up stuffin' the hat in my gramma's mailbox at the end of our duties, just so I could get the sweeping done. :)  

I musta looked like quite a sight- doing yardwork in the front yard in a full-sleeved outfit & a witches' hat. *lol*  ("Weirdo Clears Tree Rubbish, Creating Public Spectacle as Good Mother's Day Deed, News @ 11.")  ^_^   Don't belive me?  Here's proof- mom caught a pic of me scowling at the wind while desperately drying to keep the hat on my head as we finished up for the day. :)

 

Invited to jump on the bandwagon by plsurkity. :)

→ Open your iTunes / WinAmp.
→ Place all of your music on one play list.
→ Shuffle.
→ Find pictures of the first 15 musicians/bands.  If repeated, skip it.
→ Have your friends guess the 15 musicians/bands!

 ( See pic-y quiz below! )

(Sorry- most o' mine are REALLY fraggin' hard.  Some of 'em had good pics w/their names on it that I couldn't use, n' others had very few pics at all.  I tried to be as helpful and inclusive as possible...  Swearsies, I'm not tryin' to stump folks!) 

And because I have a lot of bands that many people might not know, I figgered for every band that gets guessed, I'll put a link up to their band's site, so other people can discover their music. :)  Good luck!!
