Mecca and not so much

Last Saturday (Feb. 16), Lisa, Steph, Pam, Anne and I all traveled down to Webs. Seriously? Words cannot do this store justice. They have a space-time-warp thingy going on. For reals -- like 2.5-3 hours we lost amidst the yarny-fibery-wooly goodness.

First though, we went to Northampton wools. That experience? Not so much the mecca. I did buy 2 hanks of Manos Silk Blend. And was promptly corrected by little miss "I'm wearing the wrong size AE hoodie, but I run the store, so my word is GOD."

FYI (just so she doesn't threaten to like sit on you or something) -- it's pronouced mah-nos. NOT man-os, which I slipped on. And was soundly thwacked upside the head by Little Miss AE.

Other than that, Northampton wools reminded me A LOT, way too much actually, of Portsmouth's Yarn Basket. Kind of cramped, occasionally rude and if you have to dig that much for a deal/treasure, it ain't worth it honey.

I'm still high off the fumes from Webs though.

storm

how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
water's getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I'd see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright

I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright

and I will walk on water
you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
everything's alright

untitled

lonely little child
looking at the sky
wanting
needing to feel loved
waiting
for someone
whom she does not know
dreaming of the man
her heart has waited for
wondering
where he is
who he is
anticipating
his arrival
his touch
his words
knowing her heart
has found its home

a-d-d-i-c-t-i-n-g

Fly little buddy. Fly!
I'll admit it here, freely -- I'm a bitch. If you mean someone who is strong, opinionated, stubborn, smart and looks out for herself first, then yes I am a bitch. I don't like people walking all over me. I don't like them doing it for myself.

If I happen (GOD FORBID) to mention a story, or part of a story, twice then it may relate to something I'm talking about currently. You don't have to go psycho rude on me and be all "You mentioned that yesterday/last week/last year/a week ago Sunday." Just smile and nod. You do the same thing, so shut the f*ck up.

I may not say it in person, but I'll sure as h*ll say it here. Don't f*ck with me -- I've blackmailed a teacher and gotten a professor fired. You want to play? BRING IT ON B*TCH.
