Favorite Pant and Flowers...

[mightyjesse]

We went to the store last night, and I got two new pairs of Favorite Pant. There is only one problem... I seem to have misplaced Only Belt. So now my pants are falling down. Usually I keep track of my belt by keeping it in Favorite Pant... But I took it out of Old Favorite Pant due to anticipation of throwing them out... And now I can't find Only Belt. *sigh* I'll look for it again when Zig isn't sleeping. Turning on the lights and moving things that crinkle/jingle/make noise may help my search effort.

I was saddened when trying on pants, because I just couldn't find a pair that was flattering. Then I realized that this is because my figure sucks, and there isn't a pair of pants made that can flatter THAT. I was really depressed about that for a while, then I remembered that I've been eating a bit healthier for the last couple weeks, and working out a tiny bit, and it's possible that all that stuff *might* be starting to work. If that's the case, then this is just that horrible awkward phase of weight loss where your skin is bigger than what's underneath. The cottage cheese phase will go away if I just keep doing. So I'm not as upset, but I still won't be ready for a bikini any time this month. Fortunately, our current weather doesn't seem to be calling for bikinis any time soon...

Then, to cheer me up, Friediness came home with flowers:



Which were quite pretty and did make me smile. I still feel kinda achy like I'm going to be sick ANY MINUTE NOW, but at least I know I am loved. Hooray for intuitive boyfriends! Yet once again, Zig gets an A+ in Girl Comprehension. That man is truly gifted, and I am truly blessed.

Oh how pretty. And I once again find myself stealing your flower pictures for ideas for my wedding flowers. *grins*

Oh I LOVE those flowers! Those are my favorite type of roses!

Is your boyfriend's given name "Zig"? I went to school with a Zig, true story. If he's from a small town in Wisconsin, and his last name is DeGroot, that would be really, really bizarre.

That would be odd, but it is, in fact... Not the case.

Zig IS my boyfriend, however, that is not his legal name. Zig is a nickname based on his persona within the Society for Creative Anachronism. Because we're big geeks like that and like doing the re-enactment stuff.

I do NOT, actually have an "SCA Name." I'm bad with names to begin with, so the real name and the stripper name were all I could handle, and after 15 years in the SCA, I don't think anyone's inclined to re-name me now.

Ah phew. Good. I was getting a little O_o for a minute there. Zig was this guy's given, legal name. Hippie parents, FTW.

I could never think of a cool SCA name. If I ever become a mobster, though, my name will be Jimmy Nickles. Is there a mafia division of the SCA? There should be.

Mobsters? Not so much... The closest we come is the Swampies at Pennsic... They all have names like Wolf, Rain, and Raven. They are the Goth Weirdo Periphery who enjoy their licit and illicit substances with glee.... Though, they're not really known for their thuggery.

There are Thuggish households wot can break your kneecaps, if that's the parallel you're looking for... Blood Guard is sufficiently militaristic to pull that off, but they remind me more of the marine corps than the Mob.

Uh... Then there's Vlad's... Strangely, my camp. We deal in slaves and beer and have enough thugs to make sure our parties don't get out of hand... Does that make us the SCA mob??? I'm not sure...

Here are pictures from a party we threw a couple years ago. (http://www.pbase.com/darter02/penn33_vlads)
