my comedy tragedy mask...

So after years of asking my mother to make me a comedy tragedy mask. I finally went to her shop while i was down there and made one on my own...it's ironic how the first thing that I've ever made with my hands turned out to be something that could be so easy to make..ok so, maybe I did not use my own hands while cutting out the piece, but i drew the piece, painted the piece, and nailed the hanger on it..does that count? I hope it does cause the router scares.

Attend a revel...

well it's been awhile since I attended a revel so I thought I'd put it on my list of things to do, and this 4th of July weekend that's exactly what I did. I attended a revel, it was entertaining but it didn't have the same feel as my first revel and thats wat I'm missing. I want to go to a revel that's actually a revel.I want to see the firepit and watch the bellydancers, I want to hear bards randomly sing, I want to see torchlight fighting, when I first joined the sca there was a lot of that. not so much anymore and I miss it.

I'm sick...no really

I've heard of people calling in sick just to call in sick. It's on everyone's to do list. I never understood why, so I decided that I would call in sick, well technically it was more like go over to the boss's apartment since he lives in the same complex and tell him i was sick since technically the day before I was and I wanted to experience the whole taking a day for myself thing..let me tell you it's a lot harder to lie to a person face to face, but I pulled it off. Intent on going home and going back to sleep, I walk home only to realize I'm not tired..so I get on the computer and randomly mess around. I did absolutely nothing that day except lounge until about 7 p.m. when we went to walmart to grab some tampons for me...yes I am female i do need them. Then we spend half and hour walking around a carnival that was completely geared through kids...all in all I think that taking a day for myself is not that interesting and I don't get the need to do it.

hello

Everyday it seems at work obviously, working in the fast food industry I say hi to several complete strangers, the only thing is..we have so many repeat costumers they don't stay strangers for long; sure I don't know their names or where they live, but I do know that every Thursday the lady who loves having her one day off of cooking will come in and order a 16 pc box and 4 extra wings, or that the 16 yr old child will go through drive though and order a 5 pc chicken strip with extra fries, every day. I like to think I'm part of the reason they come back but in all actuality it's just the chicken oh well, maybe one day I'll say hi to a stranger who wont be at work

Living Green

Even though I'm not a great advocate for living green I would like to be more environmentally friendly, so I've taken to learning about green living and No VOC, Low Voc paints. I was watching an episode of dirty jobs on the discovery channel about eco friendly environmental jobs and I was very intrigued. I've decided that when I and if I ever have a house built i would love for it to be built with cod walls.

Chess

Yesterday, after getting off of work I told Ryan I would play a game of chess with him if he would teach me how..it seems strange to learn one of the great strategic games from a 10 year old little boy, but he explained it a lot better than any of my former teachers and even though I got my ass handed to me, I actually think I grasped the concept for a change. Funny how some of the most complex things can be broken down into the simplest forms.

New Bardic Song...

written by lady Rohen, I'm extremely happy to finally have the lyrics

Storm Dancer

Lightening dimly lights the sky
Dance my lady dance
Thunder rolls through clouds on high
Dance my lady dance
She laughs her answer to his call
Dance my lady dance
And starts the steps as the first rain falls
Dance my lady dance

“Aye-ya-ya-ya!”
She shouts into the wind
“Aye-ya-ya-ya!”
It echoes back again

She twirls in time to lightening flash
Dance my lady dance
And stomps her feet to thunder crash
Dance my lady dance
Through sheets of rain and puddles deep
Dance my lady dance
She claps her hands and she lightly leaps
Dance my lady dance

“Aye-ya-ya-ya!”
She shouts into the wind
“Aye-ya-ya-ya!”
It echoes back again

With movements wild yet full of grace
Dance my lady dance
She gives her self up to the pace
Dance my lady dance
And through the gust of wind and rain
Dance my lady dance
Was born her hopes her peoples’ pain
Dance my lady dance

“Aye-ya-ya-ya!”
She shouts into the winds
“Aye-ya-ya-ya!”
It echoes back again

She slowly spins around and round
Dance my lady dance
Then rests her knees upon the ground
Dance oh how she’d danced
Then flings her arms out as she yells
“I dance my lord I danced!
Please bless our homes our fields our hills!
Danced for you I danced!”

“Aye-ya-ya-ya!”
She shouts into the wind
“Aye-ya-ya-ya!”
It echoes back again
“Aye-ya-ya-ya!
Dance my lady dance”
“Aye-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
I danced my lord I danced!
I danced my lord I danced!
I danced my lord I danced”
