[Sara Crewe]

You have no idea.

Snood

You do realize that to a curious person like me that is the equivalenent of saying, "there are ten presents in the house go find them?"

Yeah, I do. Ain't I a stinker?

Snood

 

[Sara Crewe]

Yeah, I do. Ain't I a stinker?

Snood

*laughing*

Just checking to see if I was being messed with subconsciously or consciously.

 

[unpredictablebijou]

Um, well TS called ya wholesome. With a straight face 'n everything.

I'm in awe of his control.

Or his total oblivion.

Well, long as we're both under the table...

Lemme show you something I just read about in a book.

I don't use sunscreen. I might put a smidge on my cheek bones and ears, but that's basically it. My skin is unimpressed by sunlight. Happily, my kids are the same. They're all little sun deities. My youngest daughter looks positively surfer girl, as her skin is a beautiful golden brown and her light brown hair has faded to a perfect dark blonde. And this is with sunscreen. Tanning is just not an issue with their heritage.

It's an issue with my heritage. My bottom looks like the sun spanked it.

Whatcha read in the book Bijou?

We lucked out. viv does not tan. She sometimes burns viciously because she forgot to put on sunscreen, and her skin darkens from the damage then, but she doesn't really tan usually. That said, for a fair-skinned, blue-eyed gal, she doesn't really burn easily. MIS, on the other hand, has snow white skin, and burns VERY easily.

I'll show you oblivion, wench!

Look lively, you scabrous spawn of a misbegotten skua, else you'll lick the bilge 'til it shines!

I'm fine in normal sun. Just not in normal sun right now. Equatar sun is a whole other ball game.

For me, I am very dark right now but compared to most people I look pale.

It's this old thing instructing yogis about how to deal with more than one dakini at a time. It's in Sanskrit, so I'll have to translate for you.

Into our Native Tongue, as it were.

There's some stuff about how the dakinis have to be able to amuse one another. Homburg can tell you a bit about that too, I suspect. *eyebrows*

I'll show ya.

Y'all just talk amongst yourselves. Sara and I will be under the piano. There's more headroom there.

Where are the Three Stooges when we need 'em?

I avoid the sun. I'm melatonin-challenged. I burn. My daughter is half-black and she still burns sometimes. She's still miffed that we went to Disney World a few years ago because she got slightly darker. She's into Goth, so dark isn't the appropriate undead look.

I hope that's a trick question.

And that BJ knows I only know how to play under the piano.

We'll just see about that.

eta: Lady S, I once, long long ago, had a 'goth' grrlfriend. She spent our entire day at six flags swaddled in towels.

She played

once she could not remain
upright

while the melody
remained unsung

Mayhap a pale olive would cover that brown, making her look dead by undead, as 'twere.

*looks up bilge*

It sounds all nautical and stuff and I'm thinking it's not good but I thought I should check.

A confession

Bijou has asked that I come clean on a matter of some pith:

While I might look large and imposing, in actuality I'm only two and one half feet tall.

Snood

 

[Sara Crewe]

Best not.

Snood

That's just gonna make me look for sure.

So glad to hear to hear that someone is finally shorter than I am.

Um, Snood, BJ probably does not think your height is the important, or at least most relevant, dimension.

Just sayin'.

Length of hair?

 

[Tzara]

Length of hair?

Now, don't be mean.

 

[Sara Crewe]

Now, don't be mean.

I'm not!

I think he's cute!!

 

[Tzara]

I'm not!

I think he's cute!!

I didn't mean TS. He has the kind of rich, luxuriant hair that shows up in Bosley commercials.

Let's just say that I am not so well suited to a rough winter.
