waiting for the summer

yamamanamaHumans are not magical in nature, so true names don't matter.
Arthropods are immune. I know this because I've been following the saga of Emily the Spider.
Pets might be bound to us, so their names can be safely spoken.
Here are some tattoos I saw on Saturday.
a man had a skull on his arm.
a woman had a stone dagger set against a circular swirl of color, some other things, hearts on her ankle, writing on her wrist. Pretty unique, huh, she says.
another woman had an anthropomorphic representation of a waxing crescent moon, living in harmony with the colorful giant space bugs orbiting it.
Yet another woman had a monarch butterfly, conveniently labeled "butterfly" in script writing.
There's a Brittany and a Brittney, there's Chelsea, there's a Dominican (D.R., not Dominica) woman who's name I've forgotten but for the fact that it starts with Y and has a "tz" in it, and a woman from France who's family is from Brittany who said her name but I don't remember it and my French pronunciation is atrocious.
She doesn't like Brittany, though, it's cold and rainy all the time.
"Like out there," I said.
Most of the world uses the metric system, aside from the US, Burma, and Liberia. I'm not sure why it's still used in Burma, but my guess is that it's a relic of the British Empire.
In England, people use Imperial and metric interchangeably, often in the same sentence, and occasionally use even more arcane measurements, like stone to describe someone's weight, which is always used in the singular.
Chelsea caught the turtles working in tandem to escape the soaking tubs, and one of them flipped himself over trying to escape.
We lost the names but I swear I photographed the paper once upon a time.
Brittney has names she uses for the goats and the turtles. Penelope is Mr. Bitey, despite being female, and I think Gallop was something like Hubert or Hermann or something. I know one of the turtles is Pancake and the terrapin is Zebra instead of Terry and the spotted is Starry and I suggested Vincent for the spotted because Starry Night and something like Chagall or Kandinsky for the painted, because he definitely has Kandinsky's palette.
She's an artist. She did something cool with anthropomorphic representations of the sun and moon and turtles and Gallisomething writing from Dr. Who. She made a book or codex of some sort with a starry background on the pages. She does abstract things with ink. She paints people from her dreams, which reminds me of a thread someone made on Talking Time or something about people in dreams. I'll let you know when I find the post. Her dreams have background music to them.
She noticed the Water Temple motifs in some of my paintings and of course you are going to notice it because I pointed it out both here and on the Deviantart page. There's another ink drawing but I haven't uploaded it yet.
If she noticed that the two masks I made are Majora's Mask inspired, she didn't point that out.
She has a pet tortoise that she suspects will outlive her.
Courtney, the one from my high school, not the one from the wildlife center, saw a doe and her foal and watched them for five minutes and saw a cardinal chase away a hummingbird, perhaps because he thought it was a hawk moth, or perhaps because he was being a jerk.
When I took classes at the AIB, I knew a girl who was German but spent time in England so the two accents are sort of mixed together.
There's also the Fall River accent, which sounds like a cross between Portuguese and Bostonian.
Harry got some new skulls and what he thinks are ibex horns but I think are gazelle horns to put on display.
There was a hedgehog in boarding happily running on his wheel.
Y---tz-a (or maybe Rachel or maybe Zoë or maybe but probably not Chelsea or Brittany) said if you tap on his cage, you can learn what an angry hedgehog sounds like, because she couldn't describe it.
As Lightning once said, hungry people make for angry people. It's as true with snakes as it is with people.
The aggies will be done by next week and things will quiet down. I'll try to get the squirrel skull pic along with all the other photos I took when I take a photo of the skull. If not, I'll post the ones I took next week. My sincerest apologies. I have to dig up the cord anyway, and Emma never responded about the mural and I've been asking about the damn mural for the last three months and I really don't want to feel like I'm pressuring her, and with Zofia heading off to Nicaragua and Emma vanishing, there's little reason to keep asking. At the same time, I don't want to feel like I'm throwing away my friendship with Emma. If it can't be done, it can't be done.
Spring began in heartbreak and ended in resignation.
burning question: There's a picture of a Laotian Huntsman with prey. What is going on here? Is Laos under invasion by giant space ants?
