*breathe*

I actually feel a little better now. My faith in humanity hasn't exactly been restored, but I do feel a bit better.

Gravity

This is a really beautiful song by Vienna Teng that I associate very strongly with Apollo most particularly for the lyrics in the final stanza:

Hey, love
I am a constant satellite
Of your blazing sun
My love
I obey your law of gravity
This is the fate you’ve carved on me

It’s available on her website in mp3 format- http://viennateng.com/listen/ (it’s the last song on the page, click the link to listen or right click and save link to download)

Yesterday morning, I was talking to sannion and mentioned this song being stuck in my head for several hours. He wanted to hear it, so went off in search and found this video on Youtube…it’s nothing but a bunch of still shots and videos of, if you can believe it, wolves. (Really, taken on its own, it’s not all that interesting, but coming across it now, with this song, that’s pretty loaded for me.)

I’ve been seriously thinking for a while of getting those lines tattooed on me somewhere. I received another swipe by a wolf’s claws over the weekend in a trance while doing a ritual. This was on my upper left arm. I think that’s where it’s going to go.

I’m seriously considering this font:

Answers to the Alphabet Meme...

from here: http://fuego.livejournal.com/781340.html (if you still want to contribute to this meme and give me a topic to write about from an available letter of the alphabet, have at it.

So I received some uh, interesting topics. I have to say, there's not much I am able to say about a couple of them....

From glitteringlynx- xmen

This is a topic about which I know nothing. I mean, I've heard of characters names...Rogue, Professor X, Woverine, Archanagel etc. But I really know nothing about them to be able to write productively. I thought about going to wikipedia and looking them up...but do you really want a book report on a wikipedia article?

From raistlynn- Apollo

When I can think of a starting point, Apollo will likely get his own entry.

From needa- zymurgy

Another topic upon which I know nothing. I looked this one up because...well, I had to. I didn't even know what it is. The study of fermentation. I'm sure it leads to the production of better wine and all but...I don't have anything interesting to say myself about it. I've been trying to think of something, but never studied it myself, I'm clueless.

From heartofmoon-salt

Salt. Salt??? Ick. I'm not a fan of salt. I don't even have a salt shaker in my kitchen. I eat very little of the stuff and was actually once told by a doctor that I should consume more. Yuck. Once in a great while, I'll eat some chips.

But blue halite crystals are pretty, and so are those wacky new agey salt lamps that you see around from time to time. I wouldn't mind having one because they look cool.

I remember from chemistry class in high school that if you mix an acid and a base, it will produce a salt. And you can dehydrate a slug by sprinkling salt on it. My seventh grade earth science teacher taught me that, but that it's also very inhumane and said that if you have to kill a slug, please, please, please boil them in water instead because it kills them faster. That was Mr. Sponseller. But I'm getting off topic. Hey, that's three things beginning with S- salt, slugs and Sponseller! Woohoo! Wait...science! Four things!

Salt is also useful for melting ice. But it leaves white residue on stuff.

Salt.
