So, aside from an excuse to put on a miniskirt and a sequin garter (thanks rowan) and develop a majestic hangover (majestic seemed to be the word of the day, apparently) I actually spent alot of the day enoying the sun and getting inspired. Spent a lot of time that I should have been working researching Mayan mythology and the concept of the Axis Mundi and the Omphalos.
Interesting stuff, all told.
And I just found a par of green trousers with blue whales on them.
Score.
I’m to hungover to actually go into detail, but basically my main issue is trying to work out whether this inspiration should be let out in a new project (which may not hapen till nanowrimo in november) or, as my instinct tells me, is actualy an excuse for a massive rewrite of Dysmorphia, last years nano project.
The idea of the protagonist realising that he/she’s destined to become the conjoinment of Earth and Heaven (possibly including the line ‘So they expect me to spend my time climbing a ladder or sitting under a tree. Fuck them.’)
We’ll see.
But still, I’m gonna start referring to my belly button as the Omphalos, and considering the significance of such a statement.
Am I the conjoinment of the Earth and Heaven?
Possibly.

IT was really your birthday or was it an expression? I didn’t really get it. :(
in any case, Happy Birthday! if it wasn’t… then Happy Birthday! lol
T’was indeed my birthday. Thanks for the happy. I need it more now than I did then.
Apologies for my obtuseness with language. I find it fun to twist things until only I can recognise them. I rarely take it that far though.
I think it’s also while my handwriting’s so bad (don’t believe me, check out this old old post: http://alabaster.wordpress.com/2006/11/18/tiredness-and-creativity-i-am-now-an-artist/ ).
I like to make things difficult and weird, it’s like a way of personalising things.
Because I can often be difficult and weird.
for some reason I understand your handwriting. It’s very messy, but I can read it.
