Status update #1 + Prequel

Work: Chewed out by boss, budget annoyance, mild co-worker strife
Personal: Lots of budget temptations

Story: We're back to wanting acceptance from the sociopath. Through classical music, elegance, strength and noble flaws. Vulnerability hidden behind self-sufficiency and brilliance. Back in the real world, the good man and the powerful man relegated to background characters. Short, black cocktail dress, flared out skirt, hair up. Sneaking around in the enemy's domicile. Lack of fear is quickly changed to imminent death with a knife at the throat and the aggressor very close, very insane and very soothing. And then giving in to powerlessness. A drugged sleep.

The last couple of days:
Status: Home sick from work, just a cold, mostly watching TV and playing on the computer with a little bit of video games in between. Tatton's father's health is looking very bad.

Story: The magic realm, but independent strength and anger. Working with a group of protectors, then lost from the fold in a natural danger. The enemy becomes the rescuer, but at a price. The usual demon(?) prince, dark hair and eyes, playful and provoking. Life for servitude, but acceptance, though because there is anger and it is still the same past. No, the family is known in dreams. Painful dreams. Giving rise to the anger. Appearance is kept secret and then attraction, infatuation. Need was growing. Protector outfit, fully covered. Slim, elegant dresses. Taunting, feeding, party, awareness, hot springs bath.

Late Birthday Update

Well, it's about time I update this thing.
My 25th birthday was relatively uneventful. Errands in the morning included taking the White cat to the vet for an infected leg and getting the car put in my name (yay, equity!) and the insurance as well. But then I picked up Robert and despite lameness at the flea markets, we went to the petroleum building to take pictures of downtown Roswell and played Wario Ware on the Wii and did some other stuff I can't recall now. Oh, dinner at Red Lobster and Mud Pie ice cream cake. Presents you ask?

Robert: Fat sacks of Barbie clothes and a cross-stitch dollhouse is pending.
Naomi: Fat sack of cash and a card!
Mom/family: Crystal pineapple necklace and pineapple earrings, cat cell phone charm, lots of Chococat stuff, Pirates of the Caribbean Dollcena and PotC towel...and a Canon Powershot A560 digital camera! Yay! I think it's my most expensive birthday gift ever. Very nice camera though I haven't really been struck by inspiration lately enough to put it through the rigors.  These pictures were taken with it, though.
Tatton: My lovely boyfriend gave me my first Pullip at my bequest, Brand New Purezza, as well as a mini. And bejeweled Hello Kitty earrings. And probably other stuff I can't remember since this was back in April.

Now, what's a Pullip, you ask? Well, my new obsession! They're a ball-jointed doll from Japan and you can see pictures of the ones I have here. I have a fourth now, but I'm not sure how I'm liking her so I haven't taken pictures yet. And yes, I very much need to prune my flickr account. -_- They're very photogenic and since I've always loved minitures this is a great excuse to buy them. The downside is, that they're rather expensive, though not nearly as much as the big BJDs, and I like a lot of them and would like to start customizing them, and damn I wish I was rich. Oh, well. It's given me some new people to interact with and Tatton and Robert have been very supportive and into them. 

Anyways, thanks for all the birthday awesomeness, everyone!
