When I was a teen, having very strict parents, it was my way to lie to them about where or what I was doing and then go do what I wanted. In the days before cell phone cameras and smart phones, one could get away with just about anything and none would be the wiser.

All I had to worry about was reading the review of the movie I didn't go to or swinging by the school to get the scores of the game I was supposed to be at. I cannot imagine trying to party the way I used to as a teen and twentysomething knowing that someone could take a photo and post it online without my knowledge.

Does the reality that your pals could post pics of you making out with your sweetie (or hefting a bong) at that party you weren't supposed to be at cramp your style? Do you alter your behavior because, in essence, the wold might be watching? Just curious.....

There is no "right" body type.

I can't stop listening to this song. Words by Rudyard Kipling, music by Eric Whitacre.



Oh! hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us,
And black are the waters that sparkled so green.
The moon, o'er the combers, looks downward to find us
At rest in the hollows that rustle between.
Where billow meets billow, then soft be thy pillow;
Ah, weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease!
The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee,
Asleep in the arms of the slow-swinging seas.

I finally got sorted...Slytherin. :D

I'm MahoganyHallow9998. Friend me if you're there and I'll friend you back.

If you had to choose between marshmallow flavored vodka or whipped cream flavored vodka, which would you pick (first :-)?

I can't decide myself...

Bear is now twelve (can you believe it?) and taller than me! ACK!

I've been meaning to post this pic for a year. We get hawks in our yard who hunt the birds who come to our feeders. This fellow showed up last winter, but I lacked the software to edit the jpg. It's really hard to get good pics of them because their eyesight is so amazing, they see movement inside the house and fly off before we can grab the camera. ^_^

I've been persona non grata lately and a bad LJ pal as well. *hangs head in shame* It's a drag when one's muse goes on permanent vacation, so I've been hiding and feeling sorry for myself for the most part.

Anywhoo, I'm gonna try to do better. Still smiling about my coworker yesterday, who was all pissed at her girlfriend for wanting to copy the tattoo she just got. "She's not an outdoor person or anything," she complained. The ink was line art of a John Deer tractor with COUNTRY LIFE in an arc over it on her calf. Yes, I live and work amongst salt of the earth type folks. :DDD

Hey, I'm checking out the whole twitter thang, so follow me if you want and I'll follow you back. I'm here.

Hubby found this song tonight and I liked it enough to share. It's a cover, and the original is very nice too, but I think this presentation is more fun.



I'm glad everyone appears to have survived the holidays. One good thing about working retail, I don't have many scheduled work hours this month. Not good for the wallet, but I'm not complaining.

Does this headline belong in in weepingcock or am I just weird? Okay, don't answer that. The attached article is here if you're interested.

In other news, yes I'm still alive. School is back in session so I have my life back, but Lmuse appears to be on permanent vacation and I'm not doing much but coping these days. Sorry to be such a blob.
