Love & Glitter

Negative People?

Whenever I hear about people ditching the 'negative' people in their lives, my head goes all math-y. I see a minus sign. I giggle a little at how my idiotically literal mind works sometimes.

And then I wonder if it isn't more honest to say "I'm ditching the people in my life who I don't like" or "I'm ditching the people in my life who don't like me" or "I'm ditching that biatch who pissed me off."

That's what I'd say. But then, I'm pretty sure I have Asperger's. *laughs*

On Rejection

One of the very best ways to get over feeling badly about 'being rejected' is to put yourself in a position where you will 'be rejected' often and with gusto. It used to hurt my feelings. Now, I rejoice that someone, having moved on from what I offer, has a better chance of finding their proper cup of tea! It's an amazing shift in perspective, and I'm extremely grateful for it. ♥

Funny Search Term O ' The Week

This week someone plugged this into Google: prefer braless ...and it led them right to my site. *blahahaha*

Weirdest Search Term Ever

This search term showed up in my stats today: "i want me see mother navel" Really? Wow... *giggles*

Photography Fail

I really want to learn how to properly photograph my art stuffages. Okay, so it doesn't help that I'm using my cell phone or webcam. I have a Nikon D3000, but it is huge, and not convenient to store couch side. But, then again, I know I'd be a lot happier with my bloggage if I include *good* photographs of my art.

TGIF

Just organized and sharpened my colored pencils. I have blisters on my thumbs, and the edge of one palm. I could get an electric sharpener (like the spousal unit suggested) but doesn't that totally wreck the wood? That's what I heard anyway... Exciting life, eh? Sharpening pencils? :D

Hyperbole Makes My Skin Itch

Hyperbole is only really effective as a smear tactic when those listening/reading do not employ the power of critical thinking. If someone cries "abuse" or "victimization" and then they tell a woeful story of someone not doing what they want, fulfilling their expectations or even *gasp* not liking them? That's hyperbole in action. I learned that in English Lit. In High School. A hundred years ago.

Panacea

Asking my tribe for reiki, lighting candles and incense, sitting in wave after wave of love, incoming. This helps. Thanks. xo
