Goddess Kwan Yin

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

On Monday, January 19, my good friend Goddess Kwan Yin passed away very unexpectedly. She will be missed so very much by so many.

On Tuesday, January 27, 2009, we will be holding an open Memorial Service for all those who would like to pay their respects to our wonderful friend. As we believe she would have liked, this service will not focus on the sadness of our loss. Instead we will join together to celebrate her life and all that she meant to us.

We will hold the service in text chat so you will not need any special program to attend. Merely follow this link, http://tcod-library.blogspot.com . At the bottom of the page enter a nickname and join the room.

The room can also be accessed with any IRC client.

The server = irc.ircstorm.net
The room name = #TCOD

No password is needed to enter the room.

The room will be available at 4:30pm EST (9:30pm England/GMT time) and will remain open for 6 hours. At 5:30pm EST time and 9pm EST time I will speak for a few moments in honor of my dear friend. Anyone else who would like to say a few words is more than welcome to do so.

Please join us if you have a few moments.

Surrender

“The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.” – Emil Ludwig

All That Glitters

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

I have to go out for the evening so I’ve spent the last hour getting ready.  As I sat putting on the “finishing touches” – lipstick, earrings, bracelet, necklace, and watch – I started wondering.  Do men even notice when a woman wears jewelry?  Of course he notices if it’s gaudy – who wouldn’t?  But, does he notice if I have something subtle dangling just above my cleavage?  Does he notice the glitter adorning my ears?

Sometimes I think maybe women wear jewelry not for men, but for themselves and/or to impress other women.  I’m pretty subtle in my tastes so I think I wear it for me, but who knows what’s buried in our subconscious mind?  Ok, I admit I wear the necklace for me and for him – after all, I know he’s going to be looking in that direction ;)  I do sometimes wonder if his eyes even wander high enough to see it, though.

What about you?  If you’re a man, do you ever notice and appreciate a lady’s jewels?  Is that sort of adornment ever sexy to you?  Ladies, do you enjoy wearing jewelry and if so, why?  Does your fella ever notice things like that?

(I know, I know, a very shallow post, but I am trying to get back in the swing of things – indulge me).

Red Silk Anyone?

Just in case you haven’t listened, or haven’t listened in a while… Red Silk is such a delicious idea.
