An Unspeakable Beauty Announced Itself

[dreamcatchings]

There is stew in the crockpot at home. I put it in before I left for work, and it should be delicious and ready for when I return. I also have a bottle of Marcella wine that I think would go splendidly with a beef dish.

At work, I am able to find the time between calls to read my book (more Michael Cunningham, I love Michael Cunningham), surf my RPG forums and work on Sudokus, which I refuse to try any above the "easy" designation as my work is stressful enough.

Outside it is sunny and breezy, cool without being cold, warm without making sweat stand out on my skin, windy without snarling my hair into unmangable tangles.

Also, I have made myself simply come to terms with some things that had me in depressive fits. While this does not cancel out the fact that there are some things I need to do, some things that must be done, it at least stops me from making myself so miserable that I do not want to move.

Plus, it's Saturday. Tomorrow is Sunday and then Monday. Those are my days. I love them dearly and, in my mind, they glitter as though encrusted with diamonds around the edges of their sunrise and sunsets.

Looking at two new apartments tomorrow. Will not scream. Will not scream.

*basks in Magik's newfound serenity*

Ahhh, bliss.

Whatcha doin' for lunch Monday?

[magikfanfic.livejournal.com]

Having lunch with you? ;)

*gleeful clap*

Where ya wanna go? Preferably somewhere on the bus line, as I am a big loser and blew up my car.

[magikfanfic.livejournal.com]

Hee. What all is on the bus line? I have no idea personally.

The 2 goes up into the Greentree Mall area if you'd rather stay in Indiana. I've been meaning to explore that route anyhow. OTOH, I do live downtown and while I haven't had a chance to explore yet, I'm all for discovery.

[magikfanfic.livejournal.com]

Up to you. I imagine I could navigate downtown, though I'm unsure about parking. If you come to Indiana, I might end up stealing you and driving you thither and yon while contemplating spending too much money.

[just-shai.livejournal.com]

Yay Indiana! (;

You know anything about the Greentree Mall area or should I bust out a phone book?

Er, turn the phone book AWAY from the apartments pages and look at restaurants?

[magikfanfic.livejournal.com]

Greentree Mall.

Food in the mall: Texas Roadhouse restaurant, Dairy Queen stand, some sort of cookie stand.

Foor in the mall parking lot: Applebee's, Mr. Gati's

Near the mall (these all require a short drive, some across the street, some down): Shady Chinese buffet, New York Capri (pizza joint), Red Lobster, Dennys, Fazolis, Burger King, Don Pablo's, Hooters, Captain D's, a semi-authentic Mexican place with shady parking, Golden Coral.

...needless to say, I'm fairly familiar with Clarksville.

[just-shai.livejournal.com]

Y'wanna meet at the mall and decide from there?

[magikfanfic.livejournal.com]

That'd be great. What time would be good for you?

Oh, fyi, cell phones? Not worky in the mall so we might have to wander around a bit before finding each other.

[just-shai.livejournal.com]

Looks like I could get there about 12 or 1:15. Not sure when you eat lunch, but it'd be just about breakfast time for me. (;

[magikfanfic.livejournal.com]

Ditto on the whole breakfast time thing. Either of those would be good for me so whichever is easier for you.

[just-shai.livejournal.com]

Let's go for 1:15. There a particular store where we should meet? *never been to Greentree*

[magikfanfic.livejournal.com]

Check, 1:15 it is. Store? Hmmmm...I'm trying to think of an easy one. How about Hot Topic? It's pretty simple to find and not too large so it's not like we could misplace each other like in Dillards or Sears or one of those.

[just-shai.livejournal.com]

*beam* Goth'n'Go is one of my favorite stores. It's a good thing I've gained too much weight to fit into their stuff anymore. But yes. Sounds good to me.

[magikfanfic.livejournal.com]

Hee. I'm always drawn to the temp hair dye myself not being thin enough or brave enough to throw myself into the goth look.

[just-shai.livejournal.com]

I gave up on "temporary" hair dyes. My hair is so porous that it soaks it right up and NEVER WASHES OUT.

EVER.

But I love the tall boots and the fishnets and itty short skirts.

Do you by chance watch NCIS?

[magikfanfic.livejournal.com]

Not fair. I want hair where the color doesn't wash out. I keep dying it red and watching while the red bleeds out to a brown/auburn.

I can't do skirts or boots or fishnets. I have horrible legs. I envy you those. And your hair. I might have to try and bodysnatch you.

And, no, I haven't seen NCIS, though I keep meaning to.

OTOH, my hair won't curl to save my life without about sixty gallons of hairspray and/or gel. Even when I got a perm, they had to use the SMALLEST curlers and the strongest solution. Even then I had to gel the damn things before they dried so I'd actually get curl instead of having it fall out as it dried.

And I did something wrong with the coding there....

[magikfanfic.livejournal.com]

...wow, yeah, that coding got interesting.

I know of Abby. She's pretty awesome and does have a lovely look, which would look cute on you so you should totally go for it.
