I've changed my layout again. *hee hee* I apologize to those who don't like my more brightly colored ones, but I was in a dandelion mood. I'm not the most exotic of flowers, but I am tenacious. ;)

13th-Jun-2008 04:50 pm - BPAL Sale [bpal sale]
In light of my recent financial pitfall, I've got a crapload of BPAL up for sale. If you need scent descriptions for any of these, you can find them at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab under the "search" function, or you can comment with a request, and I'll respond to you with it.

An imp, for those of you curious, is a 1 ml sample of one of the scents offered by BPAL. A decant is a 1 ml sample straight from the bottle of one of their general catalog or limited edition scents (which are not normally offered by BPAL as samples).

First come, first served on all of these imps, including the decants, so please check the comments first as to availabilty. I'll be updating this post with who gets what periodically. I am accepting paypal or money order on these, so once your selections have been confirmed, I'll get a total for you, and we can discuss payment at that time. Shipping costs (including postage, bubble packaging, and padded envelope for first-class postage domestically with delivery confirmation) will be as follows: $2.00 for up to 5 imps, $3.00 for 6-10 imps, and $4.00 for 11 and up. I am willing to ship internationally as well, but those shipping rates will be increased based on destination, obviously.

What's Up for Grabs? )
This sale will also be noted in [info]decantations, so expect to see some new names in the comments. :) Thank you all in advance for helping me out. I found out today that the repair on my AC unit ALONE (not including what's going to have to be done with the floor) is going to be just shy of $1,000.00. ::facethud::

Oh...and this sale will be ongoing, so if you don't have the funds just now (though I'll only be expecting payment by 6/23/2008, but I have to receive payment before I can ship out your order, obviously), you can revisit the sale later on.

**ETA**-- When you Paypal me (or if we arrange a money order thing), PLEASE make sure to include your LJ username in the comments field of your order. I've started putting these together already and am using your LJ name on the bags of BPAL goodies as I get them sorted and decanted. THANK YOU AGAIN!

The Five Senses

1. What smell reminds you of your childhood?
Mimeograph ink, canning peaches, liver and onions (don't ask...it's not a good smell to me)

2. Would you ever consider getting laser eye surgery?
I don't need it.

3. What food do you love now, that took you a long time to develop a taste for?
Cucumber and zucchini

4. Do you have sensitive skin? Is there any material that you don't like touching your skin?
My skin dislikes vinyl, lycra, nylon, and elastic. For the last three, it makes bra-wearing a PITA, but I can't get around it. I'm not the kind of size where I can get away with NOT wearing one in public.

5. Whose speaking voice is your favourite to listen to?
Sean Connery. *snortlaugh* I have many sub-favorites, and Jerry's Tenessee drawl (relatively light) is the newest addition to the list. :D

29th-Feb-2008 02:36 pm - Re: Explosion in Waukegan, IL [explosion in waukegan]
I'm okay, folks. Where the explosion occurred was nowhere near my house or my work. So I'm okay and everyone I know is okay. :)

*hugs to [info]acelightning*

I know where it did occur, though, and it is a mess down yonder. No fatalities, thank goodness. Just a lot of busted stuff, minor injuries, and frazzled nerves. They're thinking it was a gas leak...and given the age of that particular plaza, it's not really uncommon.

In other news...I can has sleepies nao? zzzzzzz

You are popular, but there's nothing you ordinary or average about you.

You a very interesting person, and you have many facets to your personality.
Sometimes you feel very conflicted. Your different sides of your personality pull at you.

You are a very sensual and passionate person. You are fiery... you can't help it.

Your Result: You will die while saving someone's life.
 

The most noble of all deaths. Your rewards will be great in the next life. You are most definitely a humanitarian. If not currently, you will be. To give one's life is a precious moment that will be remembered by friends and family for many decades.

You will die in your sleep.
 
You will die of boredom.
 
You will die while having sex.
 
You will be murdered.
 
You will die in a car accident.
 
You will die from a terminal illness.
 
You will die in a nuclear holocaust.
 
How will I die?

This was no surprise.



The Sonnet

Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLD)

The Sonnet

Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?

Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They're conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that's okay, because you're very choosy with your affections anyway. You'd absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.

Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You're already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there's no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.

You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.

Your exact female opposite:
