LADON: Evil apples.
DESADE: Sharp leather. Do I order it now or hold out and see if there's another leather scent I like more?
HANGING GARDENS: Fruit and hawaii. "This perfume is an interpretation of the Hanging Gardens by night, based on further accounts of its fruit and flora: date palm, ebony, fir, pomegranate, plum, two pears, quince, fig, and grapevine with plumeria, three gardenias and dry rose."
TENOCHTITLAN: "The greatest of all Aztec cities, and capital of their empire. Amber, hyssop, coriander, epazote, Mexican sage, prickly pear and Mexican tulip poppy."
BASTET: "Luxuriant amber, warm Egyptian musk, fierce saffron and soft myrrh, almond, cardamom and golden lotus." Makes me feel like curling up in a sunbeam and wearing gold.
LONDON: "Venerable Victorian Tea Rose… twisted, blackened and emboldened with wickedness." Also known, to me, as sparkling apple cider and gentlemen. Don't ask.
RAKSHASA: "This haunting, exotic scent is named in honor of the shapeshifting demons from Hindu mythology. Sandalwood with rose and patchouli." This haunting, exotic scent smells like my copy of the Mahabharata. Which is fitting, I suppose. Bhima smash!
Because I just can't decide. I budgeted for two bottles plus shipping, so. Go.
Ana! Bria! Your imps went out today First Class Mail, the thingie says it should be there in about three posting days. And we all know the thingie is all powerful, all seeing, and never lies. The imps for my sister and Mom haven't come yet. This makes me a little nervous. I may keep those for myself and bid on a large shipment to end soon on Ebay if I can find one.
Getting back into the groove of exercising is easier than getting back into the groove of stretching, I think because exercising I have a greater choice of clothes, weird as that sounds. If I'm stretching I need something that gives my legs the same amount of stretch as I'm trying to achieve, and that's hard. Most of my clothing is less flexible than I am. Still, I'm getting to the point where I can almost do splits again, and that makes me feel better.
Project: get my ass back to the original writing is actually sort of working. My editing is a lot harder to make myself do than I thought it would be, or. No, that's not really true. It's a lot harder than I want it to be. But I'm outlining, and I'm fleshing out both characters for the novels I'm working on and other random original characters, as well as kicking around a few other ideas for things to submit. So, not doing so badly. Am also working on knocking back some of the BDL/BDT/Writing prompts I've been slacking on. It's a little easier with only Sam to write for in TM. I can always count on him to give me something. Heh.
There's been a lot posted on my f-list for whatever strange coincidental reason about friendship, privacy, and discretion. I'm not sure what to add to that because I don't really lock many of my entries at all. I don't care too much who reads about my writing issues or my getting in shape issues, who knows what BPAL scents I like, and who reads my fanfic. There isn't much personal on here. Not the kind I want to hide. I'm not really sure what to say to that all except that, for those of you out there who have betrayed a confidence? Fuck you very much. People trust you for a reason. It is a crappy, crappy thing to betray that trust.
(And because I know half of you on my f-list are as nervous and paranoid as I am, no, that was not meant for anyone specific. Just expressing a sentiment. Hell, I've probably been guilty of that myself. Fuck me very much, too.)
Ugh. Not much else to say. Haven't been updating because, my life, she is boring right now. There is snow? And extra days off work, yay, and writing done. And in a couple of weeks there will be DC-ness, and family. This is of the yay. Other than that, yeah, boring. And now I go pop some aspirin, 'cause, headache, and try and get some writing done.
