Having decided that plastic bags aren't just bad for the environment and taking over my house, but intensely aesthetically displeasing, I bought a deep purple bag that folds up really tiny and attaches to my keychain for using at the grocery store and suchlike. It's probably perverse how pleasing this is to me.

Now, quick food and off to the barn dance. I'm too tired, really, but dancing is good and it's Irish fiddle music tonight and that's just one of those things that fits into my world so sweetly. Also, it will take my mind off the fencing jacket nightmare.

In other news, the awful neighbors with the awful chihuahuas have a new acquisition -- a large plaster fish. I first saw it out by the trash at our building and thought "now there's a weird object." They apparently rescued it from the trash and either thinking it was not all they hoped it would be or that it was a perfect "welcome to our chihuahua-infested home" signpost have left it outside their door -- for weeks. Today someone has perched an empty coffee cup in its mouth. I wish I had a camera, it's large and cartoonish and not painted, just this white creepy fish with a broken fin Aie.

Where did you find the bag?

I have a green bag like that and love it irrationally. It's so small and pleasing and trusty.

Dude. Giant plaster fish would be scary even if it wasn't from the trash. But that's all right, I think my neighbors think I'm a theif.

Have you been practicing lock picking on their door or something?

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ha. No. I locked myself out of my apartment once, and had to lurk surreptitiously in the hallway for an hour or two while I waited for my roommate to come back. They must have noticed me through their peephole, because I could hear them whispering about me through the door- "Is that girl still out there?" "What is she doing?" "Should we call someone?"- and now they glare at me whenever I see them.

(Also, come back to the comments of threewalls's story and talk to me about Swordspoint timelines.)

Coming now. Dude... this dance thing I went too tonight.... Jessamyn plotbunny exploded all over me.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oh! You must write it! I adore dancing, and have been prevented from writing it only because Alec claims somewhere that he "doesn't dance". You must write Jessamyn and dancing!

Okay, you are hereby drafted into the next barn dance... it's so so so off that world it hurts. In the good way.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ha. Well. I adore club dancing. I don't even know how to barn dance.

THey teach you, and there are always a few ringers and some peopel wh never figure any of it out. But it really is fabulous. Lots of flinging strangers about in various circle formations until they are so dizzy it's everythign in their power not to stumble into just anyone, although that was th eoriginal point.

wordsofastory, meet bunny; bunny meet wordsofastory

*laughs* You certainly make it sound appealing. When's the next one, next month? Not everyone has to dres up, right?

Hello, bunny!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Most everyone was in jeans. I of course want to hijack it and make everyone I know go and dress up sometime, but no, not at all. It's just fun to spinny if one is wearing spinny things.

and yeah -- second Thursday.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee. But I own, like, one spinny thing. Me and skirts are not so close.

(Man, people on the floor above me are having loud sex. Again! I hope this isn't a patten.)

[rm.livejournal.com]

This was the first time I wore a skirt in ages (as I do prefer to be dashing and that's hard in a skirt!) But seriously, most people were in jeans.

I lust after such a bag.
