The Feudal Mistress has finally hired a temp to help with my work while I'm on medical leave. She starts on Thursday and will have a little over a week to learn TOPS and how the ordering process is handled. It's about time, eh?

Last week I received a very open and personal letter from B and I'm unsure how to answer it. Our relationship started out like an episode from Mystery! on PBS and developed into a friendly, yet quite business-like rut. I was okay with it even though I rather longed for a bit more personal interaction even if we are separated by a large ocean and I'm still pretty much terrified of the idea of him. So now I have this letter and I'm paralysed. Perhaps it's because of the gravity of the subjects. Angst, worry, and great change precipitated the letter I know. A combination of happenings that culiminated in the breaking of the business barrier into real friendship. A few of my buds think I want more but, no. Friendship is good. Besides, I'm connected and so is he, apparently and, to be honest, I think our various proclivities in the romance arena would more than likely frighten us away from each other permanently. Then again....maybe I'm wrong. Either way, I've never been able to imagine myself in the role of girlfriend to B. It started out as Victim, developed into Pet, and has since become Web Slave (that's not a derogatory term in my bdsm-coloured world). Perhaps genuine friend can be added....but only if I respond! I'm going to make that my priority tomorrow.

Llew is coming over tonight. He's going to peruse my progress on Alt and exhibit more regret over the Valentines Incident. His meds seem to really be working now and I have truly seen a change in him, especially this past week. We'll see how it goes. The latest letter on Alt is from a dude in PA who is offering to "teach" me. Actually, I get a bad vibe from him, so I will not be responding. This whole Alt thing has gotten out of hand I think. Why do I bite off more than I can chew?

Some of the women started talking about sending my name in to "Extreme Makeover" after I lose weight. Swiftly did I warn them away from such activity, proclaiming that I would crawl all over their asses if they treat me any differently just because I'm thinner. I really don't think they took me seriously though. What does it take to convince people ~ murder? mayhem? John Ashcorft?

Word has it that we may get 1 to 3 inches of snow overnight. Now that would be bloody delightful! Snow is my favourite thing about Winter. It's a shame I live in the South. God keeps speaking to me out of the drains, saying "Get thee to Canada, My child." It's kinda creepy though, 'cos all I can think of is Stephen King's "IT".

B ???

Hey Gracie. The only Shriek list I have ever been on was Tracy's but I have been a fan for 20 years and have managed to accumulate what I believe to be every piece of music released by the Shrieks, the solos, and the side projects, thanks to lots of folks from the Yahoo list. I quit cause it was getting boring but still keep in contact with a lot of the members off list and though I have never met Tracy in person, I already consider her a good friend.....Lets chat some more! (oh and thanks for the comments on my little website. i felt the Shrieks needed their own page amidst the other crap on my site...lol. Thanks to Shriekback.com and odds and ends found here and there, I managed to accumulate several great pics of the boys. The new album "Having a Moment" is extraordinary!!!

He's seen better days, but he'll be OK. His music is doing well and his son is just starting to make a splash.
As for coming to Canada, if I can only convince my S.O. that long Winters aren't that bad, I think I could sneak over the border and beg for asylum. heheh

Indeed, VERY good music....however I still like Barry's/Shriek's "Baby Lions" better than the Veil's.....but I'm partial.
