Gypsy dreams with wild garlic flowers

Me and Damen had a conversation today, mostly revolving around my rekindling love affair with garlic. I made pasta today, extra garlic, I made a cream cheese dip for a snack, extra extra garlic. I am rank with garlic. Which made me slightly inspired because I was listening to Fleetwood Mac's Gypsy at the time and the idea for a picture came a gypsy girl with wild garlic flowers, saucy, savoury and so pretty!! Anyway...the entire time Damen and I were laughing about my garlic obsession...this is the conversation that follows when I was looking up images of garlic flowers

Yve Starr: garlic is pretty!

Damen: And so tastey

Yve Starr: lol

Yve Starr: minion is basted in garlic

Damen: I shall put you on a crust with maranira sauce and cheese and have minion pizza.



Yve Starr: thats vaguely erotic.

LAWLZ
you had to be there.

My Monday Off / OK Tripplanner

I even managed to sleep in yesterday morning, and I got up, did the dishes first thing and took Dora for a walk. I jumped in the shower, after promising Bish I'd be up early today to chat with him, then headed out to hang out with shawna for the first time in like five months.
Dave picked us up at the mall, ran a couple errands and then headed back to her place to play with her dog and get ready for the boys to come home.

I was surprised to see her baby belly and how (despite how close she is to her due date) happy and relaxed she was, and yah it is her third, but EVERY woman gets a bit frazzled towards the end.

Tico (her new chihuahua) is fucking hilariously adorable, even when he plays shy, and his little prancing reindeer leaping had me in stitches all night.

All in all I love hanging out with Shawna and her family, I adore her boys and Dave is such a good man.

-looks at shawna- lucky bitch. but you deserve someone like him after those first two ....:P

With 53 days left to go until my trip to oklahoma, my mind has been wrapped around the details of planning, prepping and packing for my trip, I have no suitcase (FUCK) and I've been frantically trying to figure out what I should do with my piercings, do I leave the metal studs in? take the metal ones out for plastic ones? Do I leave them in and wait to be asked to remove them? (all options I'd frankly not do) and I think I'm going to settle on getting plastic studs for my nipples and leaving the rest in. -shrugs-
The one thing that has me worried the most is the weather, I know I won't be cold but I don't want to pack for summer either. I've been doing alot of looking online and it comes down to me packing like the day before I leave for OKC.
I am getting very very excited though. Everyday brings me closer to this awesome experience!

(honestly now, I was twice as excited about meeting Bish, THAT was huge, I waited four years to meet him and our week together was fucking awesome)

DSG keeps telling me about places he wants to take me, like along the Paseo (the name of the art district), The Myriad Gardens, along the canal in Bricktown to the jazz bars, I asked him about the fair grounds he lives uber!close too, and there are horse stables there, so I want to DEFINITELY check those out, cause as a girl, I love horses. I want to go pay a visit to the bombing memorial and of course, I REALLY want to see his dogs and play with Jethro and Leona (his dogs).

The one thing I've been kicking myself in the ass about is my departure time on the 15th. My plane leaves at 6:45 am, which means I have to be at the airport at 4:30 ish.
A.M.

Go Yve.

So. I need to call a cab and have them pick me up at 4ish, check in and go through security and nap in the waiting area before my plane starts taking passengers on.

Thank the gods there is a tim hortons at the airport.

I arrive at O'Hare around 7:45 am, where I transfer flights, and I leave again by 9:45 to arrive in OKC at 11:50 am, which means, I'll be with with the DSG by noon. YAY!

I'll be in OKC for two weeks. -GRINS-

Yah, I want you to know I'm going to be talking about this alot.

BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

OKLAHOMA!!!

w00t!

Non Art Blog Or Yvil Does Oklahoma

So much to the dismay of my OH so many viewers, this is a non art blog.

SHOCK!

Why? Cause I art lazy and haven't inked anything in a couple of days. HAH! Mostly because I've been working in my key art times and I"M TOO FUCKING EXCITED TO DRAW!!!

I'M GOING TO OKLAHOMA!!!

March 15th- 30th I'm going to be in the south...western state kicking it back okie style with teh D.S.G.

I went in today and booked my flight, and got my travel artinary and total for my round trip tickets, and tomorrow I go in and confirm all everything and pay for my tickets.

Which gives me just under two months to save up for spending money and do my taxes and book the time off work and get my pets taken care off and try not to flip out.

Iregardless I'm bouncing off the walls.

YAY ME!!

bwt first international flight by myself. Oh yah ladies and gents, yvil is rocking it adult style. whatwhat.

Homemaker Yve

Last week dad came home with a brand spanking new sewing machine. I have half a dozen sewing projects to finish and I decided since I have three days off I'm going to do it!

First up to bat, is my knock off magic skirt which I am making out of two old top sheets I have, the bottom layer is black and the top is olive drab, something I know DSG is going to appriciate being a militia fiend. Its going to be girlly and pretty though.

Second is a re-con sweater project with an old Big Al's sweater that fits oh so sexily and a brown sweater Ren gave me that if it wasn't for my...what was the name we decided for me? Tits McGee? Or Chesty Larue or Busty something or other??? Anyway if it wasn't for my ample bosom would be all smexy on me.

I want to remake my Old Navy Sackpurse but I need some sturdy material for that so it may wait until I can get my hands on some nice all year fabric like a hefty linen or light weight cord.

And then for filler and shits and giggles, some sachets for some pagan friends made out of purple satin and black and cream silk. I want to make myself a nice sachet for my tarot cards personal, and probably something special for someone special if I can muster the effort to complete the set.

Does anyone know where to I can borrow a nice bone saw??

I was born in the WRONG decade.

Then from there, I'm going to make a couple sachets for some friends out of purple satin and black or cream silk and

Some days it just pays to get out of bed.

I woke up rather late this morning cause I stayed up rather late last night with the DSG online chatting on my shiny new mic and he sent me a song that I forgot to check last night cause I was right properly exhausted by the time he sent me to bed (I let it slip that I had been up for 18 hours...it was actually 19 but shh). So I checked out the song he sent me via msn sharing files and listening to the lyrics I missed a couple phrases but getting the gist of it I decided to search out the lyrics and reading them I was really glad I decided to get out of bed this morning.

He got me hooked to this pagan rock/goth band and I really like thier songs, their lyrics are all very pagan based (duh being a pagan band) and their symbolism isn't lost on a little pagan like me (I'll go back to that little comment later) and it moved me to tears.

Mostly becuase his message was 'this is a song I know you're gonna love' & 'when I heard it I thought of you, hun'


Eternity
Artist(Band):Inkubus Sukkubus

Lying 'neath the trees your arms enfold me
There's some sweet magic
In the way you hold me
I feel the power in your midnight eyes
Let me drink deep from your witches potion
Like the trees we will sway in motion
Watch our souls tumbling from the sky
Wrap me up within your cloak of myst'ry
All nature holds is breath
Whene'er you kiss me
Hear my secrets uttered in my sighs

You know I'll always love you
As the Moon shines far above you
You know I'll always love you
May her light shine on our love

Fall with me into deepest ocean
And let our bodies drown in pure emotion
I feel that I'm immortal by your side
We'll live this life and then we'll live another
For all of time I hope you'll be my lover
We'll be as one long after we've died

You know I'll always love you
As the Moon shines far above you
You know I'll always love you
May her light shine on our love

(repeat stanza twice)

Yah. It just pays to get out of bed some days.

Also, I'm planning on making a skirt today with some fabric I have kicking around and I had to do my measurements, not a task I love doing but its been a couple of months since I have and shock of all shocks, I've lost INCHES off my torso, waist and hips. INCHES!! I laughed because even though I'm still HELLA bigger then I should be, I have an hourglass figure!! YAY! And sexy!

Few more months and I'll fess up and give you my measurements too! :P

Just for Ren (and then some)

Trek Fish

I'm sorry Ren, but I think the fish wars are now over.

Ice Storm Slams Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City

I woke up this morning and stumbling downstairs I wondered how Damen was doing with the ice-storm heading to Oklahoma city this week.

I remember how bad it was in Ottawa a few years ago when we were hit with a snowstorm and for us it wasn't all that bad in downtown Ottawa, but outside the core, power was out for days, it was cold and wet and it sucked.

I stuck around for him to come online and he didn't and I figured it was because of his dad had him out house sitting for a friend and he was tired. I got to school and he still wasn't around so I decided to check the news sites and DAMN!! The whole state is fucked!!

I tried calling, even though I knew I couldn't get through and I got nothing but I still had to try.

I hope he's okay though. :S I'm kinda worried cause his dad is the type of guy who'd insist on driving down to Norman to check on their family so I hope for their sake, his dad stayed home.

Okay now I'm really worried.

Come back into the light Okahoma!! I miss my DSG!!
