I have a delimina; I need mead for the Yule ritual/submle.
I'm currently deployed to Iraq, which is technically a dry country (you have no true concept of smuggling until you've seen the borders here) And I'm on an Army base so I can't buy any liquor.
The chaplains, in theory, supply us with wine for the rituals. But accoding to the other pagans that hasn't happened in months. And even when it does, that nasty wine isn't work drinking the first place (at some pointin shipping it's left out in 100+ degree heat for days).
My wife lives in GA, and apparently I can't have alcohol shipped into that state. What the hell?
So, if I can order mead online and pay for it, is there anyone here who accept it, repackage it, and then mail it to me in Iraq?
To quell any fears, you would not be breaking any laws that I know of. The post office doesn't inspect packages sent to us, only asks what's in it. The repacking is just putting it in a different bottle because all the army does is exray and look at the shape (the only thing they're really looking for is drugs) (can you imagine the idiots who want to use LSD or herion in a war zone? Thank the gods they're stupid enough to be easily caught).
It would be greatly appreciated. |

http://mistressmatisse.blogspot.com/2009/11/okay-i-know-its-totally-teenage-girl-to.html Okay, I know, it's totally teenage-girl to blog about my horoscope. I might as well go buy a Twilight t-shirt, right? (Not that I don't know some grown women who have one.... Ahem. Not naming any names or anything. And I have nothing whatsoever against fluffy fiction. But god, those books are boring fluffy fiction. I'm just saying.)
But Rob Brezney is so cool. And I'm convinced that sometimes, he lives under my bed and takes notes. This is what he says for Scorpio for the next seven days.
A 13-year-old girl shocked everyone by winning a plowing contest in England. Driving a 12,000-pound tractor and pulling a five-furrow plow, Elly Deacon did a better job than all of the middle-aged male farmers she was competing against. What's more remarkable is that she was a newcomer, having had less than a week's experience in the fine art of tilling the soil with a giant machine. She's your role model for the coming week, Scorpio. Like her, you have the potential to perform wonders, even if you're a rookie, as you prepare a circumscribed area for future growth.
Glad to know I can look forward to winning the plowing contest I have coming up. Heh. |

[Nov. 11th, 2009|11:21 pm] |
So about a month ago, I got the idea to combine photos of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell at D*sneyland in Photoshop, since it seemed like a fun project. I pitched this idea to them and the agreed to help me out. I started out making a list of ideas and got to the park early one morning to meet with Peter. We took a ton of photos, and he even threw some ideas out to me.
About a week later I put all the photos on my phone, met up with Tinkerbell, and showed them to her so she could see how she was supposed to act out. Since it's MUCH harder to do a photoshoot with Tink when there's a constant line waiting for her, we didn't take a whole lotta photos onstage. But we ended up getting through them all and I spent most of October doing these for fun.

| Intro post, I suppose. |
[Nov. 11th, 2009|04:26 pm] |
Y'know, I've never done an introduction post before, so I guess I'll just wing it.
Boring stuff first: Female, raised in a poly/pagan household, Oregon native, Portland resident. I play Magic with the best of them and spend most of my evenings at home watching the fiance play Dawn of War and talking about Warhammer 40k. Not as geeky as most, but I still qualify. WoW stuff goes right over my head.
Less boring stuff now.
I read more books than any human ever should in any given week, I've been known to blow right through a trilogy in a day. Mostly sci-fi and fantasy, but if a book has a good premise, I'll give it a try. I also love comic books and pretty much anything having to do with the X-Men, Batman, or Deadpool. I am a lighting technician for the Clinton Street Cabaret who performs a shadowcast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show here in Portland. It sounds a lot fancier than it actually is, I sit at the back of the theater and point the light at people. Used to be a Tranny for the cast as well, and I did a brief stretch as Trixie. I knit, but only know the bare basics. I've also been a member of the SCA since I was old enough to walk, thanks to my awesome mother, and will continue to do so as long as my back can handle sleeping on the ground. When I heard about Diablo 3 finally coming out, I damn near crapped myself in excitement.
I'm in the most loving, happy, non-complicated relationship I've ever been in and we are getting married next Tuesday. He is going off to the Navy next May, and I will then give into the traveling bug that is up my ass and visit my girlfriend and her boyfriend in New Orleans for a month or so. They went on an extended traveling trip last year and instead of sitting here waiting for them to come home, I'm going to them. Just gotta wait a few more months.
I usually spend my days in front of the computer or cleaning the house because it drives me crazy when my house is unkempt. I'm participating in Nanowrimo this year, hoping I'll win for the first time ever after having been doing it for the last five years. I have a part time job at a porn store, and am considering getting back into modeling to help supplement my paycheck.
I have recently found the wonder that is melodic metal, and my cat is going to have kittens in the next month. I am preparing for Kittengeddeon.
And to save your friends list, going to cut this short and make some lunch. |

I got a comment about my last comic saying that it condoned smoking, but I don't, that is nonsense! You should also not lasso cats out of trees, if that doesn't go without saying. Historical smoking is another matter, go ahead and have a smoke in the trench, but I advise against lighting three cigarettes at night.
Remembrance Day always makes me ruminative about the place of history in our current consciences, because it is one of the few holidays where we are explicitly told listen you have to remember this thing that happened ok and, one, people pay attention, two, there is nothing jamming the line like bbq's or parties or football games or chocolate eggs or presents. History: You should give a shit, who knew.
Just so we are clear though, I don't really care about Queen Victoria's birthday either so go ahead and slam it back on May 24 weekend, fireworks and the whole bit. Honestly we should all get free corgis on Victoria Day. |

Oh my goodness! I must be a truly fortunate little snowflake indeed, because our (current) favourite 27-year-old pubescent, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) melssexysecret personally sent little old me my very own private message! To my own inbox and everything! It reads:
I find is apalling and insulting you say I am trans prejudice. I am currently working with the transcedning boundaries conference, I'm studying to be a gender therapist and I work hard to advocate trans rights.
also Pansexuality, or omnisexuality[1] is a sexual orientation characterized by the potential for aesthetic attraction, romantic love, or sexual desire towards people, regardless of their gender identity or biological sex. Some pansexuals suggest that they are gender-blind; that gender and sex are insignificant or irrelevant in determining whether they will be sexually attracted to others
therefor includes transgender, bigender, adrogynous, gender queer, etc etc
Well, that told me. |

http://mistressmatisse.blogspot.com/2009/11/fashion-thoughts-i-have-no-idea-what-to.html Fashion Thoughts
I have no idea what to wear for this shoot on Monday. I am awaiting information about the overall theme of the shoot, but I don’t think there’s a role-play - like teacher/boss/evil cheerleader, etc - that requires role-specific costuming. I think it’s just a straight-up kinky scene, which is perfect.
So I can probably wear more or less whatever I want. (Kink.com does have their own costumes you can borrow. But no thank you, I prefer to wear my own clothes.)
I was gifted with these two extremely fabulous little numbers from Nancy Meyer, and they are the strong contenders. The black, or the creme.
I also don’t yet know if I’m starting off in street clothes, and then proceeding to something scantier. (And from thence to: nothing! Or at least, nothing of any substance. But I already have that outfit.) Or if I am just walking on in the one scanty outfit right from the get-go.
One thing I do know is what I am not going to wear: A rubber dress, a corset, and thigh-high boots. Nope. I understand fetish-fashion classics, and that is indeed a classic look. Which is fine. Lord knows I have worn that precise outfit – and yes, been photographed in it – many, many times. Many. Did I mention many?
But I am bored breathless by it. So bored. It is not transgressive, that outfit. There was a time when it was, but now they dress models up like that for beer commercials. It does not get a lot more mainstream than that.
So, it’s not edgy. It’s definitely not comfortable, either, but that’s not the point. Fashion is not supposed to be comfortable. The point is that I don’t think that just because I’m a dominant, that means I must wear a very traditional “Mistress” outfit. Because what is the earthly use in being a sexually non-traditional person if we all have to dress alike? |

| house fire |
[Nov. 10th, 2009|02:55 pm] |
Brandon just called me to tell me that our house “almost burned down.”
The painters taped the lights up in all the rooms instead of removing the bulbs. Now, this would be fine — if a) the job site wasn’t accessible by other people (like, say, the homeowners), b) one of those lights wasn’t a HEAT LAMP. Okay, really, it’s just not okay. So Brandon went up to lock up the house last night and noticed that they’d started painting a room he didn’t expect them to paint (apparently he didn’t read the contract, and I’ve never even SEEN the contract because no one has sent it to me…) so he went in and turned on the light around the tape that was on the switch (all the switches were taped so this wasn’t odd). He poked around the house for a couple of minutes, got back, noticed that the lights were taped, and turned them off.
He also went to open up the house this morning and there was no fire. Sometime AFTER he opened up the house this morning, though, the lights went on and set the tape on fire, which then dropped off the lights and lit the paper on the floor of the bathroom on fire. (There is paper covering the floor of the entire house, so it’s sheer blind luck that it didn’t race through the house.) The vanity is ruined, as are parts of the toilet and shower. The painters are fixing the smoke/fire damage and repainting the room, and will replace the vanity with something inexpensive. I am going to go up tonight and see the damage for myself.
I feel like I’m going to vomit. |
