Writer's Block: Living the dream

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Honestly? A combination of writer/fashion designer/wealthy eccentric. I like to think that I'm actually working toward living that dream.

... which reminds me, tonight I need to do some writing. In addition to packing stuff to mail off to people.

In other news, I am fascinated with the offerings from Etsy seller BloodMilk. (clicky-link!) I especially covet the lydia sparrow claw ring (clicky-link!) (not that I have a finger that doesn't already have a ring on it, but still), and the nevermore claw ritual necklace (clicky-link!). I really, REALLY covet the nevermore claw. Hoo-boy.

I've been reading the BloodMilk blog for a while, it's very interesting!

I came to it originally through the blog, probably through Haute Macabre or Coilhouse or some such, and only saw the jewelry after I'd been reading for a while. I have a lot like this on my Reader, just random daily pretties that make me smile and drool. :)

That necklace. . .

Would destroy my budget for about three months. . . : cry :

Oh dear. I made the mistake of checking out the clicky-links of coveting, and now BloodMilk's wares are calling to me across the interwebs. Budget shmudget, I'm going shopping!

I've been lurking for a while, but this seemed a good time for a first comment. :)

Hi there, lurker! Welcome! :)

BloodMilk's work is so, so gorgeous. Just stunning.

Damn. You mean I have to pick one?

Oddly enough, I love to program. Sometimes I wish I were working on something sexier like speech recognition, but I've been hooked on the rush of getting it working for thirty years.

If I never had to sleep, though, I'd be a linguist. I loved studying Japanese, and I've set myself the task of learning before I die what all those little marks in Vietnamese mean.

I miss playing music. Once upon a time I was a hotshot teenage oboist. I also have perfect pitch. Whether I'd do well for long with the struggle & poverty being a musician entails is another question, but it has its attractions.

Sewing for other people would drive me crazy, I think, even if I thought I was good enough to do the job.

Wow! Yeah that seller makes some really nifty things!

Well . . . I DO need a long fancy necklace to go with some shirts I got last month . . . and bird claws are pretty spiffy looking if I do say so my self . . .
