My Bio

.. "Some people are meant for this life, and some aren't."


iamthatis... 'They who is lost in space, They who is disappearing always, forever fading away and receding farther and farther into the background. Just like the Cheshire Cat, someday...I will suddenly leave...but the artificial warmth of my smile, that phony clownish curve, the kind you see on miserably sad people and villains in disney movies, will remain behind as an ironic remnant... I am they you see in the photograph from some party someplace, or some picture in the park, the one who is in fact, soon to be gone...When you look at the picture again...I want to assure you I will no longer be there ...I will be erased like a traitor in the soviet union...Because with every day that goes by, I feel myself becoming more and more.. Invisible...'



"Maybe I existed only as long as someone was looking at me, or thinking about me...The rest of the time where was I? Who was I? What happens to a person when no one's thinking about them anymore?"


“Sometimes when no one was around I got the feeling that maybe I was slipping into that empty nowhere place. I could feel it happening and I’d look around searching for something to hold onto, but there was never anything there any more…”


"I dreamed a shadow was chasing me, trying to run me down. When I awoke, I remembered the shadow and I knew the shadow was mine. It was me, unborn, the truth about who I really was, an unborn child who had accidentally slipped out of place-a mistake. That's what I knew: I wasn't real."


"It used to be that whenever I saw myself it was a surprise, a shock. Mine was the pale blank stare of a stranger. But now when I looked in the mirror there was a new surprise, a new expectation, and it seemed to frighten me more than anything. Because now , I didn't expect to see my reflection at all."


'Rahel,unable to cope with seesawing changes in heir life, had raveled heirself like a sausage into the dirty airport curtain, and wouldn't unravel' "Just ignore heir" 'Ammu said."zhe's trying to attract attention" 'Ammu too was wrong. Rahel was trying to not attract the attention that zhe deserved'


"the image you have inside your mind is of they who drifts into the night merrily a figure faceless and dead "

-f


'Shock swelled in heir like phantom applause in an empty auditorium. It overflowed in a wave of vomit and left heir mute and empty eyed. Zhe had come to heal heir wounded world and had lost all of it instead. Zhe shattered like glass.' -wthedt




Heir memory of the days that followed was fuzzy. Shivery and furred like moth's feet. Long dim hours of thick, tongued serenity lacerated by sharp, steely slashes of hysteria, as keen and cutting as the edge of a new razor blade. zhe remembered faintly how at night the bush crickets had sounded like creaking stars and amplified the fear and gloom that hung in the air. zhe never forgot heir irrational rage.




It is unreasonable to expect a person to remember what zhe didn't know had happened.




Which was their way of saying to a colleague traveling into the heart of darkness that:




A. Anything can happen to anyone,


&


B. Everything can change in a day.




zhe Went fourth into the world, & far more quickly than ever should have happened, zhe became a memory. While her loss grew robust and alive. like a fruit in season. Every season. "

agh... Its 11 I have six hours to sleep before work... and I really wanted to watch an episode of something before I did... apparently I am on the somewhat-witting war path to irrevocably eefing up my Monday. Entities... I'd rather be dancing at hive tonight... being grown and having responsibilities that your life depends on blows chunks. Anyway... let me just capture the last light of joyous excitement... in that although I got little in the way of productive things done today... I did manage to do a creative that makes me smile and feel like if I survive into the future... I may get the chance to use this cool thing I just taught myself... Tada!: Yeah I know it seems underwhelming but trust me this ^ is rad. Yeah I said rad. I'm old so what gag me with a spoon and gtfo if you don't like it. Anyway... This ^ is my perfect example for why I spend such a ridiculous amount of time watching YouTube videos. I get to see so many things that I didn't really know about or think

I splurged awhile back on this little beginners rigid heddle and I love it. I had been oh so hoping for so long that I would be able to meagerly save up and eventually get my hands on a little Saori weaving loom like the Piccolo loom https://www.shop.saltspringweaving.ca/product-page/saori-piccolo-40-loom 1,528.00 $ seemed like a possibility to me plus, as a teacher I cant help but love that it can be height adjusted to allow for and include children in the weaving process. I have this fun dream idea of telling peoples fortunes in a "red thread of fate" kind of way. I would tell the fortunes for free or donations - in a dark and ominous little tent at live action role playing events and I would appear as a 'fate' offering to foretell a fortune but really - just offering a kind of free "if you dare" sort of casual talk therapy in character. I would put out bowls filled with fiber threads and they would choose the one that called to them. I would divine meaning from the type of

Webbing

3 min read
It’s that time of year again where webbing becomes more of everybody’s purview and not just a personal obsession of my own. This amazing crochet pattern by etsy… PatternsIsland 's Nicosia, Cyprus ( https://www.etsy.com/shop/PatternsIsland?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=223739968) is so charming and lovely. They also sell their work here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SpiderWebsPoint I've purchased both patterns and work that she did and I have loved and recommend both Nicosia's patterns and their work. I am absolutely chuffed to bits by it and apparently so is everybody else too. I can see why this Etsy seller does so much business with just the product of this one pattern. It’s also nice for me to have something relatively simple and straight forward for me to take to the local Crochet group which just popped up at the end of pandemic while I sit there and crochet with them. And I really just enjoy the process. My favorite thing that I’ve discovered so far with this piece
