Ah yes, Master and Servant. One of my all time favourite songs about bondage....though, to be perfectly honest, i doubt that i could name another. here i sit, in chicagoish. a funny thing happened this morning. i went to pick up the eldest of my charges from school. it was flurrying here, but upon going a mile down the road, there was full on blizzard action. weird stuff. Emily, the aforementioned charge, said "Christine, the world is disappearing." She said this in reference to the zero visability outside, though i suspect she meant this on a far more existential level. It is now 1:12 pm and we are in the throes of some mad project making expeditions. yesterday we made a duck out of plaster using a mold that looked disturbingly like a scarily girthed condom with a duck at the tip. very disturbing i felt. right now emily is passionately painting said duck. then we are going to make an igloo out of sugar cubes using cake icing as mortar. aren't i crafty? :o) so a funny thing happened to me a few moments ago. i signed onto AIM for the first time in AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGES and i got an IM from Tantar97 or some similar such name. This person began our exchange with asking me "What are you wearing?" to which i replied "Leave me alone!" from there the conversation went on as such Tantar: Do you know who this is? Me: No, and i don't really care to Tantar: You changed your aol address and i haven't been able to find you for ages Me: Well if i changed it and didn't let you know the new screen name, it was most likely because i didn't wish to converse with you in the future Tnatar: It's John! and there it was....John....my ex boyfriend. when i asked how he got my screen name, he told me that he had just randomly searched for my old screen name, Toadie29, and the closest he found was Toadie291...which is, of course, my new one. He took a shot that it would be me....and it was.... he told me that he had read my father's obituary in the chicago tribune and wanted to extend his condolences. he then said that he wished to see me and asked for my phone number. i explaned to him that, while i appreciated the condolences, i just didn't feel that he and i would work as friends....to be honest i didnt really like him as a person much anymore and that this chat via computer would be the last of our exchanges. then i blocked him so he can't contact me again. weird. and what a stupid screen name. though some may say the same for toadie i guess :o) anyway, i must now away....we are listening to the musical styingling of mary-kate and ashley. good times. off to make an igloo.... ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
