Well, I have all of the above except for the bailey's and the significant other. Hell, I think right now I'd settle for a really good, close, female friend even if we weren't in a relationship. For the most part, I'm perfectly happy being single and NOT in a relationship, but days like this make me miss it all too strongly.

I can only hope that there's someone out there for me thinking the same thing. Well, here's to the future and the hope that I'll have someone to snuggle with when it's snowing all too soon.

I couldn't stop reading this quote over the past week:

"If you had one phone call left to make before you died, who would you call, what would you say, and why are you waiting?"

And I, very simply, followed the advice and, well, everything is just peachy

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, it truly sets you free even though that knowledge may not change your current situation.

Yeah, I know I'm not making a whole lotta sense right now, but damnit, I'm in a great mood!

So...have a couple new pieces that I haven't taken pics of yet...one of 'em is permanently attached to my wrist...that was a pain to weave onto myself, lol. So I'll upload 'em...sometime...LOL

So yeah, that's it, hope everyone has a great weekend

Nothing much happened, helped my mom build a new bookcase for her dvd collection, and it just so happens that mine fit on there as well so I guess that was productive.

I've been fighting a backache (slipped on some ice...) and a massive headache that hasn't let up all weekend so I'm not in too good of a mood currently.

As for the mood icon...yeah...just lonely...pretty simple and to the point. Can't for sure say why it's been on my mind lately, but it has.

Had a great long conversation with my sister this weekend that brought some things to light that I need to figure out how to face. I'll get through 'em, I always do, it's just that when I'm in the middle of 'em, they suck...lol.

Haven't been doing as much chainmailling as I'd like to lately, I seem to have all this free time, but nothing to channel it into.

Damnit...I think I just need a hug...lol...

So yeah, that's it for now.

First off, I'd like to say to everyone that celebrates it, have a blessed Samhain!!!! &

The following is a piece that I picked up on another forum. No clue as to who the author is so for now it goes to Anonymous. (if you happen to know who the author is, please leave a comment and I'll give 'em credit!)


A Pagan's "Halloween" Poem:
(Spoken to the rhythm of night before Xmas)

'Twas the evening of Samhain, and all through the place
were pagans preparing the ritual space.

The candles were set in the corners with care,
in hopes that the Watchtowers soon would be there.

We all had our robes on (as was habitual)
and had just settled down and were starting our ritual

When out on the porch there arose such a chorus
that we went to the door, and waiting there for us

Were children in costumes of various kinds
with visions of chocolate bright in their minds.

In all of our workings, we'd almost forgot,
but we had purchased candy (we'd purchased a LOT),

And so, as they flocked from all over the street,
they all got some chocolate or something else sweet.

We didn't think twice of delaying our rite,
Kids just don't have this much fun every night.

For hours they came, with the time-honored schtick
of giving a choice: a treat or a trick.

As is proper, the parents were there for the games,
Watching the children and calling their names.

"On Vader, On Leia, On Dexter and DeeDee,
On Xena, on Buffy, Casper and Tweety!

To the block of apartments on the neighboring road;
You'll get so much candy, you'll have to be TOWED!"

The volume of children eventually dropped,
and as it grew darker, it finally stopped.

But as we prepared to return to our rite,
One child more stepped out of the night.

She couldn't have been more than twelve or thirteen.
Her hair was deep red, and her robe forest green.

With a simple gold cord tying off at the waist.
She'd a staff in her hand and a smile on her face.

No makeup, nor mask, or accompanying kitsch,
so we asked who she was; she replied "I'm a witch.

And no, I don't fly through the sky on my broom;
I only use that thing for cleaning my room.

My magical powers aren't really that neat,
but I won't threaten tricks; I'll just ask for a treat."

We found it refreshing, so we gave incense cones,
A candle, a crystal, a few other stones,

And the rest of the candy (which might fill a van).
She turned to her father (a man dressed as Pan)

and laughed, "Yes, I know, Dad, it's past time for bed,"
and started to leave, but she first turned and said

"I'm sorry for further delaying your rite.
Blessed Samhain to all! Have a magical night!"

So, go check the gallery and leave me comments!

I think I've pretty much given up my other forms of artwork for the time being and I'm concentrating on my chainmail...seems to be paying off (both in $$$ and skill).

And you might expect some actual photos of cool shiznit as I see it driving around

So yeah, I think that's everything....


Blessed be!

School starts up on the 18th so I better get crakin with some more drawing before I don't have time to...I also have a few more CG pix that I can post...might have to do that when I get home.
Oh, anyone that's interested in CG art, go visit [link] this guy is amazing, and it's worth it to join the site as a member...over 500 amazing wallpapers for (i think, lol) like $20...anyway, just go check it out...there's also a free gallery
Have a great day everyone! ]]> ~MystickPhoenix http://MystickPhoenix.deviantart.com/journal/4198998/ http://MystickPhoenix.deviantart.com/journal/4198998/ Fri, 31 Dec 2004 03:47:27 PST Anyway...I've been doing anime for about 5-7 days now and I can already see a vast improvement, especially since I started getting the HTDM Series...and I just ordered 3 more from the publisher! And before I forget, happy new year everyone!!!

It'll make the whole piece look much better, then you don't have to mess with those damn textures as much!
I can't wait until I can get access to a scanner or even a digital camera for that matter so that I can get some pix up here of my new found art-love....Manga/Anime!!!!!
This is the Mystick Phoenix, signing off for now...."whooooof" ~rather large ball of flame envelopes MP and burns away to a cinder~ ]]> ~MystickPhoenix
