A hello and a Quiz

My life at work of late seems to be beyond my control. So I apologize for not writing this week. If it were due to business, I would be happy but it's not. Dad's still learning his digital gadgets and when he gets into a bind, I have to unbind him. I'm still learning his camera and also my new system, so that doesn't help either of us...yesterday it got so bad that I considered running away to parts unknown. Seriously!

Not good. I will make time for a blog post... it's a perfect way to release steam, right?

Right!

Below is a quiz I took this morning. I almost didn't because it called "Are you hot?" or something like that. I knew my answers would be mild, but that's ok. As I answered the questions, I thought of how I would answer them 20 yrs ago and compared that to now... lol.. yep back then I was smoking hot... but today... I'm not. Time matures a person and I'm glad I'm at the confident level of maturity I'm at today.

Here's to being me....

Cheers!

You Are More Mild Than Wild

You're confident, and you really aren't concerned with how "hot" you are. Other people's ideas of what's sexy don't concern you. And this is exactly what makes you attractive.

Are You Hot?

You Are Rouge Red

Of all the reds, you are the most energetic and vibrant. You never need to recharge, and in fact, you often recharge others. Gutsy and brave, you've never let your fears stop you from doing anything. You figure that life is all about experiences, and you'll always take that leap of faith.

What Color Red Are You?

For Steve

You can have your cake and eat it too!

You Are Midnight

You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it. You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.

What Time Of Day Are You?

Happy Birthday Insolent Lad

The Lad

Poems...by Moi

(for those of you who don't read 'French' that means...ME)

Across Your Lips

Love
the soft billow
of night's sail
across the moon

Temptress
of calm seas
that fall prey
to violent storms

together
they mingle
like tears and kisses
across your lips


~**~

Strawhat

Strawhat
the kind you find
on seashore cowboys
who try to tame
the sea

It sits upon my head
proud like the mane
on a stallion
tolerating the wind

A band of violet
sequins...
basking on the straw
waiting for the

fish rodeo
to arrive

~***~

You, of Stone and Wheat

You, of stone and wheat;
the barley of summer--
fair and blonde--
the lion in the field.

I watch you walk
on alabaster sand,
the grains of today
sticking to your heels.

How do you tame
the wild heat of yesterday
and place it so nicely
into loaves of tomorrow?

"Stone and wheat," you say,
as I watch a grain of sand
escape, like a lion
into the field of summer.

~***~

If I can

If I can seduce you
with satin and lace-
the ivory of my thighs,

Why can't I romance
time-the whisper of
your lips across mine?

If I could wrap it
around my little finger,
then we could

spend an eternity
lost in the shadow of
candlelight and wine

pooling on cleavage.


~***~


I Could

I could write you
into solitude
if you so desperately
need an escape.

Trees lined with limes
and grass so soft-
the down of spring chicks...

and the silence -
so thick that thoughts
cannot penetrate
the shell.

Your solitude-a cool drink
that doesn't quench
the need to be alone
within yourself.

You Are a Purple Flower

A purple flower tends to represent success, grace, and elegance. At times, you are faithful like a violet. And other times, you represent luxury, like a wisteria. And more than you wish, you find yourself heartbroken like a lilac.

What Color Flower Are You?

Greed:	Very Low
Gluttony:	Very Low
Wrath:	Medium
Sloth:	Low
Envy:	Very Low
Lust:	Medium
Pride:	Medium

... 6 Weird things about Me... (only 6???)

1) I have a lipstick fetish. There are no less than 12 tubes of either lipstick or gloss in my handbag. Without lipstick, I feel naked. Given a choice of either wearing clothes or lipstick only...I would choose lipstick.

2) On my way home from work, I take off my bra as I drive and sing out "Free at last...free at last...Oh Thank God, they're free at last."

3) I only eat cereal(usually Count Chocolate or Special K with Vanilla/Almonds) with a black plastic spoon.

4) I hate sleeping alone...if my lover isn't around, then I put a notebook with pen, a Pablo Neruda poetry book, my personal CD player loaded with my Best of the Backstreet boys CD and a small toy zebra in the bed with me.

5) Tails up pennies on the ground? I run from them. They are bad luck. Now, this doesn't apply to dimes, nickels, quarters or paper money.

6) I water down fruit juice, soda pop and tea. I prefer them diluted as opposed to full strength--this doesn't apply to wine.

Ok...there, you've got them... 6 weird things about me...now, who will be brave enough to post 6 weird things about themselves as a comment to this post?

Easter is Cancelled

TomKat and birthing babies

What's the big deal about TomKat and their plans for a silent birth? I say let them hatch their babies the way they want too..whether it's through silent birthing (personally I would be screaming and begging for a gun, so I could shot the guy who got me into the situation) or whether it's an aqua birth or what other means you can birth babies today.

I don't read about them. I don't care if they're loopy. I don't let it affect my opinions of the movies Tom puts out...some good some bad..though I had problems with the ending of War of the Worlds. As for little virgin Katie...I have never cared for her acting and haven't watched much of her.

When the time comes for the birth of TomKat Kitten/s I'll do like I've done in the past...read the tabloid headlines while in the grocery store checkout lines and go on about my business of being me.

More on Understanding a Woman's Language

(loud sigh) - This is not actually a word, but is still often a verbal statement very misunderstood by men. She thinks you are an idiot at that moment and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".

(soft sigh) - Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft sighs" are one of the few things that some men actually understand. She is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe and she will stay content.

"Oh" - This word followed by any statement is trouble. Example; "Oh, let me get that". Or, "Oh, I talked to him about what you were doing last night." If she says "Oh" before a statement, RUN, do not walk, to the nearest exit. She will tell you that she is "Fine" when she is done tossing your clothes out the window, but do not expect her to talk to you for at least 2 days. "Oh" as the lead to a sentence usually signifies that you are caught in a lie. Do not try to lie more to get out of it, or you will get raised eyebrows "Go ahead" followed by acts so unspeakable that we can't bring ourselves to write about them.

"That's Okay" - This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you retributions for what ever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and used in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "Go ahead". At some point in the near future when she has plotted and planned, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

"Please Do" - This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance to tell the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay".

"Thanks" - A woman is thanking you. Do not faint; just say you're welcome.

"Thanks a lot" - This is much different from "Thanks". A woman will say, "Thanks a lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have hurt her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh". Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh", as she will only tell you "Nothing".

You Have Low Self Esteem 4% of the Time

Which can be translated to mean, you have high self-esteem and a healthy sense of self worth. You believe in yourself, and you know how to be the real you. You love yourself, imperfections and all.

How is Your Self Esteem?

Understanding a Woman's language

"Fine" - This is the word we use at the end of any argument that we feel we are right about but need to shut you up. NEVER use fine to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.

"Five minutes" - This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

"Nothing" - This means something and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine".

"Go Ahead" (with raised eyebrows) - This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine".

"Go Ahead" (normal eyebrows) - This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care". You will get a raised eyebrow "Go ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

Under the Dim Light

From under the dim light of a faltering moon,
I embrace the chill of a spring night;
its evening eyes hidden under new sprouts
of tender grass.

Winter past froze time in crystal tears,
each night an agony that tore my soul.
I do not regret its passing into the ides
of windy March.

Soon summer will play upon the oceans of us;
our passions a war of foam and sea,
churning up the sands of time and eternal lust
of things we can't have.

Like the faltering moon of spring's new birth,
we'll know the after taste of winter frost,
even as we frolic among the white-capped
waters of summer.
