Welcome to deep thoughts..

msfledermausI've been thinking about some serious stuff today. (Which is a trick since I've been doing tons of paperwork, and it kills brain cells like you wouldn't believe.) Nothing I want to go into too heavily right now, but I'd like to address them at some point. Things like our violent culture and how stressed out our society is and such.
An lj friend of mine was talking about a time during and after being raped. The cops, hospital, judges and more than a few friend were less than helpful. I'd like to say it's an abberation, but I can think of half a dozen friends male and female who've been assaulted like that without even trying hard. I personally know one particular bastard who's still on the loose after assaulting the daughters of the woman he was living with. (The heavens help him if anybody he knows catches him in the Cities--because nobody else will, that's certain.) Dammit, it shouldn't have to be this way...(Yes, I know its far more complicated than that, but my human outrage still says it: It doesn't have to be like this. We can fix this. If we want to bad enough.)
Grim thoughts, I know. Be careful out there. Be supportive of one another if you can...
Ms Eff, who loves you.

Hey, I saw the best t-shirt the other day...a black kitten and over and under her is:
"An owwie to one is and owwie to all."
It was in a local activist shop that promotes fair labor and welfare programs...I think I may have to buy a couple of those...
Ms Eff, dreaming of a world where nobody gets hurt.

Want me to make a flop hat (possibly stripped) like the ones I sell on my company site (http://www.fragilewebb.com)?
Re:

Date: 2001-07-25 05:08 pm (UTC)So um... what color wouldja want your hat? :D
Re:

Date: 2001-07-26 08:54 am (UTC)OH and would you like this to be a thick cap or one you can wear at cool (and not just cold) weather?
Re:
Date: 2001-07-26 09:21 am (UTC)And I think basic black works well--it goes with everything:) (I may have to replace my frayed-but-fabulous winter coat, so I'm not sure what color it would have to match...)
Ms Eff, rubbing her hands with delight...oohooh! Would you like a Guardian Amulet? (I use glass eyes, and sculpt clay around them to look like marble or agate or what have you, then thread them on silk for a pendant...very very pretty and loyal as hell;)
no subject
Date: 2001-07-26 09:23 am (UTC)Oh a Guardian Amulet? Ohhhhhh *starts to drool*
Can you make it look loyal and evil like a Duchess that is trying to take over the world would wear? *bounces in chair*
Re:
Date: 2001-07-26 09:45 am (UTC)As for Ze Loyal Guardian Amulet of World Dominion...Not a problem..I have some rather BIG glass eyes. (I think they were used for big cats.) If you check down my posts about two weeks ago, I gave Cyn a rock with a big eye staring out of it.*grin* She took a picture. A giant spoily gaudy pendant would be fun...so fun...Meh heh heh..heh heh HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!
Ms Eff, doing the Loyal Sidekick Toady laugh again...

Date: 2001-07-26 10:13 am (UTC)I was going to start working on it today (after I tweak some journal stuff) since you are the only one that confirmed the color and design. :D
Ohhh I can't wait to see this amulet now! :D

Date: 2001-07-26 01:11 pm (UTC)I assume you want it the same size as how it is on my company site right?
Cuz that is the length I was going for ok?
Re:
Date: 2001-07-26 02:06 pm (UTC)What size are you looking at, t-shirt wise?
(I like big ones myself)

Date: 2001-07-26 02:54 pm (UTC)BTW, just in case people didn't know, I put a picture of my niece wearing a Flop Hat in my recent journal entry (called Flop Hat). :D
