Do you hear me,
I’m talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart

You make it easier when life gets hard

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don’t know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I’ll wait for you I promise you, I will

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we’re in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I’m sailing through the sea
To an island where we’ll meet
You’ll hear the music fill the air
I’ll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you’re all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I’m lucky we’re in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

As many of you know, and probably many don’t, Ravi and I met online on deviantart.com about.. oh.. two and a half years ago. And I’m so glad we did!

Ravi lived here with me in Tucson up until February, when he received his Masters in Material Science Engineering and had to move back home. Shortly after that (April 7th) he left for India and has been gone for THREE MONTHS now.

But he is coming back soon and I am trying to scrounge up some cash so we can see each other and have a super, happy love fest <3

So here is where you come in! I am offering my Little Felt Tripod monster’s at a SMASHING price. They are $12 each with $2 shipping. They are custom made and can be ANY color combination you like!

Help me out if you believe in LOVE!

Also here is a Gangly Squid commish I recently finished. I love the way this one came out, I think it is probably my favorite so far.  The pattern I found for the inside of the legs is just so great.

ANYWAY! Today should be pretty fun as Dingo and I are headed over my friend Lou’s (she has a mini dapple dachshund too) to SWIM! and work on our website. We’re starting up a dog photography business together ( http://www.buttswirls.com ) and I’m pretty excited about it! I’m also pretty excited about swimming as we’ve had 100 degree weather for weeks now and I haven’t swan since last summer, I think!! And usually Dingo will get in the pool as well if it is hot enough. :)

I’ve posted several of my critters from past shows (Both at Purdue and Gallery Hanahou!) at great SALE prices! Check them out and help me pay my electric bill! :D

I love my Ravi!

Once upon a time I used to own http://www.orangefishy.com/, this was when I hosted through lycos. The thing about lycos is, if you want to leave you can’t take your domain name with you. But I was paying a fortune for that site…so Ravi moved me to 1and1 and I switched to http://www.orangefishy.net instead.

Well, tonight my friends, Ravi has procured http://www.orangefishy.com/   for me (from India!)! So now I have both! <3 YAY!

how I want thee.  

Oh look, it is another post today.  And me.. NAKED.

I gauged my ears up to zero a few weeks ago and never got around to taking a decent photo. I actually quite like this one.

I always seem to take photos of myself without my clothes on.

Hmm… in any event, I love the way they look and I’m a little bit in love with Brian from Halo in Tucson. He is so cute and friendly and he cleaned my ear when it was all oddly swollen a few days later. This was the first time I needed a piercer to do it for me as opposed to doing it myself.

It’s funny because even though I also have my nose, nipples and belly button pierced, my ears, I feel, are the only noticeable piercing I have. My nose stud is so subtle I think a lot of people don’t even notice I have it. Which is fine. I can’t wait until I am self employed (whenever the fuck that will be) so I can get other piercings that I want. :) Haha, you read that right RAVI! :D

Perhaps this photo should be the start of one of those 365 self portrait projects everyone seems to be doing. I’ll think on it.

I climbed to Dharamsala too.

Paneer is a handful. And that is all I will say about that.

Because I’ve been feeling sad and missing Ravi like crazy, I’ve uploaded some photos from my nearly full SD card.

She cooks you sweet potato you don’t like aubergine
She knows to boil the kettle when you hum bars from grease
She senses you are lonely but still she can’t be sure
And so she stands and waits anticipating your thoughts

How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you
How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you

He brushes thoroughly
He know she likes fresh breath
He rushes to the station
He waits atop the steps
He’s brought with him a mars bar
She will not buy nestle
And later he’ll perform
A love-lorn serenade, a trade

How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you
How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you

So give her information to help her fill her holes
Give an ounce of power so he does not feel controlled
Help her to acknoledge the pain that you are in
Give to him a glimpse of that beneath your skin

Now my inner dialogue is heaving with detest
I am a martyr and a victim and I need to be caressed
I hate that you negate me, I’m a ghost at beck and call
I’m falling and placating, berate myself for staying

I’m a fool
I’m a fool

He greets his stranger meekly a thing that she accepts
She sees him waiting often with chocolate on the steps
He senses she is lonely she’s glad they finally met
They take each other’s hands walk into the sunset

Do you like sweet potato

Sia, Sweet Potato
