I should post more on here.... meh
Witchfest was a flop this year. That cunt Dave - who calls himself Merlynn - fucking it right up. He pissed the vast majority of people off when he issued us with the dreaded 'pink slip of rules' at the Artemis Gathering ealier this year.
Some of the rules included "No photography" - even of your ownfriends and family - because he swore that someone cmplained about being taged in a photo on facebook. Well, knob-jockeys, it was obviously someone you knew who tagged you. Try bitching at them instead of giving the rest of us grief with your bullshit!
and really ridiculous - like "no fires or camping stoves" HELLO?!! It was a camping event! If they had more than one grill for the entire camp, and had actually bothered to clean it, it wouldn't be a problem
anyways, there were a lot of rules which of course, we chose to ignore and give him the finger.
So, he decided to keep the "no photography" rule in place at Witchfest. But even after the huge arguments last year, after he let a film crew in, who filmed people and showed their faces (including mine) on National TV! Without prior or post concent! He fucking did it again. BASTARD!!!
So, after all that shit came out, he lost half the attendance this year, plus most of the speakers he booked, pulled out and have refused to ever take part inanyhing he does again, unless he changes his atitude and sortsthings out.
People used to respect the man, thought he was brilliant for oranising all these festivals - now, they wouldn't even waste their spit on him!
I won't be going to another event, unless he fixes things. What a waste of money! The few speakers and performers who still showed, were either rushed (because they started late after his cheap crew lost their goods or didn't bother to get the rooms ready) Or they were dragged in at th last minute and hadn't a scooby what they were talking about!
This all should be in the rant thread, I know, but originally it hadn't started as one. It was just one comment that snowballed

Kay...
Sooo..... Been on a vintage jewelery kick lately. Dunno why. Also, random jewelery. Like my Cakestache ring. And the gun and bullet set I just ordered.
I'm also really into handmade stuff, like soaps and mineral makeup. Right down to making all the food and drinks fresh and by hand.
Which reminds me, I need to make some cinnamon cookies.
Gonna get things ready for the X-mas cakes soon. Well, x-mas cake. This'll be the first year in forever that it's just the one. It's going to be really hard this year without Nan. To be honest, i'm not looking forward to it this year. And i'm really dreading 2012 - fucking Olympic bullshit. Think i'll fuck off to another part of the country for those two weeks.
On a lighter note, i'm starting embroidery again. I want to male something special for Yule. Haven't decided what yet. Better get cracking on it soon though (it takes so long to do)
and now i've run out of things to say......pah

I mean seriously. Do you actually personally know his bloke? Or is it just someone you talk to online? If you don't know him well, it may just be some perv trying to get your info - like those retarded "Your great aunt Gurdy in Nigeria just died and left you all her shit" emails

I don't think I really trust the whole "Buy these contacts online they don't ask for a prescription" that makes me feel kind of uncomfortable. I mean I dunno if what I'm putting in my eye is safe or not and I've never worn 'em before so I don't think starting off with the Russian Roulette contacts is a good idea. I use that term as a whole "Hm well these work" or "OH MY GOD MY EYES!! I CAN'T SEE I'M BLIND!"

Nope, I don't think he'll be getting that number.

He's probably using it as an excuse to get your number. Just tell him you don't feel comfortable giving it to him.
As for the contacts, Some contacts don't require prescriptions, but if it's online, they should. Only buy non-perscription ones from a shop where you can actually see the product before you pay - that way you can check if it's been tampered with.
Apparently, they also have to have some sort of approval cert. This proves the're up to standards and made with the correct materials so they won't damage your eyes. Chaz bought a dodgey pair a year or so ago, the paint came off in the fluid. Luckilly she hadn't worn them yet.

Double post
It's baking time! - Well, sort of. Time to start making the crimbo cake!
Then in about a week? I can start with the cookies (New recipes! Yay!) Biscuits, cakes and all sorts of nibbles.
This year, i'm actually going to measure the cake before I start sculpting decorations from icing. Last year they were way too big for the cake and ended up as their own little display.
;D I'll be making:
Icing Polar bears, with chocolate sprinkle eyes and claws, raisin noses.
Icing &/or marzipan Santa/Snowman/Robin/Penguin or whatever else I decide.
I'm also going to try a new munchable; Cake presents. They will be little cakes, covered with either chocolate or icing, done up to look like idividally wrapped prezzies.
And a Star shaped, Cookie Crimbo Tree. It will consist of several different sized cookies, layered and stuck together with metled chocolate, in a tree shape. With an icing Angel on the top.
Oooh! and a chocolate Yule log!
Oh yeah, i'm so in my element! ;D

I am obsessed with playing animal crossing. I want Animal crossing of everything. I have it on Wii, on the DS, I want it on Game Cube, I'm watching the movie and am in love with it. The Movie is making me sad though ;( I miss Sally/Margie from my Neighborhood. she moved away when I lost my DS and couldn't find my game, but now I have it and some of my Neighbors who I've had since day one need to go. also some of them are masochists. "I like pain! it feels good!" yeah I seriously get that when I talk to them.
ah well, random talking for the spam thread.
EDIT: Correct me if I'm wrong, but how can someone take something Copyrighted rewrite it and then copyright it again as their own? okay, I went to a play by some kids, I was told the play (the Nutcracker) was completely rewritten for kids to understand and that it was a completely different story from the original that we were all used to seeing. I watched it, it's the SAME THING! only shorter. 30 minutes long, but it's the same story line. Girl gets Nutcracker, brother breaks it, Nutcracker comes to life, Mouse King fights Nutcracker, Nutcracker becomes prince, Prince takes girl to his world. How is that a different story, and how does she get passed the Copyright for it when it's the same? I mean to take it in the first place while it's Copyrighted, "Rewrite it" and then copyright that when it's the same play...wtf I think I just broke my brain.
