Ring Around the Rosy

ON THE MENU FOR TODAY: So, I just remembered that right around Litha (Midsummer, for those of you not in tune with the natural calender) my neighbor and I both had faerie rings in our yard. Faerie rings are those eerie perfect or near-perfect rings of mushrooms that just grow spontaneously in your yard for a short time, then just spontaneously vanish. That's what they did. Within a week after Litha passing, the rings were completely gone. That's right around the time when I first started to seriously study faeries, because I was worried. Not so much, now.
TYPE BREAK FOR: Nothing! Too early for munchies!
So... I've been put in charge of finding Domova a vessel. She's not like the legend goes, where they are just perfectly content sleeping under your stove. She wants something a tad cozier. We were looking at BJD's that would be perfect, but they're obviously a bit pricey. For now, she picked her own place: the teddy bear my fiance won me at the fair this summer. (cries) My other resident spirit has an affinity for water, and the mental image he's given me since we met has him with bright red hair, so his vessel is a red scallop shell. He seems pretty cozy there.


IN THE LIFE OF GRACIE:
As the start of school draws near (tomorrow) I don't know whether to be sad or rejoice. I'll be out of the house, have time to study, and see all my friends, but I wn't be as able to just call up my man and spontaneously say "Hey, let's do something today." But that just means we have to plan a little more. Which could certainly be for the better. But nobody wants to hear about this, so I'll wrap it up.
THE END. GRACIE.

Dolly Time

ON THE MENU FOR TODAY: The number one reason I wish i were rich: Ball Joint Dolls. These things are just beautiful. My wists account is getting cramped with doll accessories, clothes, and dolls themselves. The highest quality dolls, not to mention the most popular and easy to come by, seem to be Volks USA dolls. On standard models, you can even remove the faceup and redo it yourself, another thing that I am just dying to try. Other companies do exquisite faceups, with lower priced dolls, but there are less possibilities available.

TYPE BREAK FOR: Whipped Butttercream-frosted Devil's food cake with my hun.

It's rough being young and materialistic in this economy. It's so hard to find a job, and I have some pretty expensive hobbies: sewing lolita clothes and accessories, video games, books, color guard, and now I'm interested in buying eight-hundred-dollar dollies.
It doesn't help that I adore cute things, and I'm in the process of "touching up" my room decor, turning it from a half-assed gothy hole in the wall, to a little palace of frills, lace, and plush. Giant Teddy Bear? Check. Cherry Blossom pik walls? Check. Blackout curtains with red ruffle holdbacks tacked into the wall? Working on it. I'd much rather have lace curtains.

IN THE LIFE OF GRACIE:
Me and my hunny have gone through a massive relationship overhaul. For the better. Stupid flute-playing hussy almost broke us up last week, but we worked it out.
She's still a hussy. No take-backs.
"Band camp" has me busy as hell, so it's hard for me to work on any articles... slowing me down even more. But once school starts, I'll have plenty of resouces and time, plus the guidance of the English teacher I'll be working for. Plus my sister now owns a webcam, so perhaps I'll manage to throw in a video sometime someday.
THE END. GRACIE.
