:star: Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburstag :star:


Oh I had a lovely birthday!  I do sincerely thank those of you who went out of their way to add to the wishes, but if you feel remiss, never fear, I’m planning on extending my celebration the month long until the procedure.  To quote a message from Piscaria :

I take
the wings of angels
into my lungs

I can feel them beating

the surge of strong pinions
carrying me


— A Prayer for Breath
by Munro Sickafoose.



Part of my merriment has been a feast; drinks of absinthe, Sapphire gin, Maker’s Mark whiskey, Belle-Vue Haut-Medoc Bordeaux 2004, Red Rice ale, and Korbel champagne -- none to excess, though all to amuse my sensitive palette, plus an urge to embrace being more adult.  In the food department there has been; escargot (kept two of the shells), Kobe beef, pomme frites, duck breast, brussel sprouts with fingerling potatoes, roasted beets with hazelnuts, whole wheat sourdough bread, bok choi with garlic & shichimi togarashi, peach sorbet and boysenberry pie.  Add a few cigars and a top hat.  Anything sound good?

But sometimes wishes are smaller…and have holes in them.

For many years of my life, I've passed a well-known and wonderfully run-down donut shop but never tasted a bite -- always too busy or tired or broke or disinterested. Walking home on 4th of July, I noticed they had powdered and cinnamon ones in the window. They also were reported to have raspberry jelly doughnuts (cherry just isn't the same). Aside from plain, these are favorites which I haven't eaten since I left the east coast. So early one morning last week, I made time, and ended up with powdered sugar on my face. They were expensive for donuts, but rather cheap for time-travel. :donut:

I always feel this sort of obligation to make my journals on DA about art, although I’ve noticed that many do not necessarily feel obliged to impose such rules upon themselves. Let's add a bit that I learned while doing a project for school anyway! Oops, my nerd is showing.



:star: What’s your favorite color? :star:


I have always been attracted to colors at the far end of the spectrum.

Indigo, ultramarine blue, ultra violet and in their lighter forms periwinkle or lavender are also appealing. Lately though, I've found myself fond of grey (finding black too harsh). I like neutral colors in general like white, cream, brown and metallics too.

I liked the explanation of the color at this site and agree with it's reasoning as to why it may appeal:

crystal-cure.com

Gray is the color of sorrow. People who favor gray can be the lone wolf type or narrow-minded. Gray with more silver in it can be a very active color.

Native Americans associate gray with friendship. Gray is the symbol for security, maturity and dependability. It connotes responsibility and conservative practicality.

Gray Energy
Gray is the true neutral color. Its energy imparts void, emptiness, lack of movement, emotion, warmth and identifying characteristics. Because of this, gray can be restful. It has a detached and isolated feeling. Gray can have a cooling effect when placed next to other more vibrant colors. It has a stabilizing effect, making vibrant colors stand out while muting their vibration.

Put some gray in your life when you want:

:bulletgreen: to emphasize your willingness to comply
:bulletgreen: a neutral, non-invasive feeling
:bulletgreen: to reduce the intense energy of another color
:bulletgreen: to feel detached or isolated



Look up your favorite color and give your opinion of the psychology connected to it. Have your tastes in color changed over time, why do you think, if so?

Please be patient as I get back to people, my connection isn’t reliable lately.

Es yo, helios_ikari. Le recuerdo de Livejournal.

¿Hola, cómo está usted? Ha sido meses desde que le vi por último, o de hecho incluso le entró en contacto con en Livejournal.

Desde que me fijamos por último el uno al otro en Livejournal han estado prestando más atención a mi herencia española. Soy fluido bilingüe cuando viene al inglés y al español. Nunca acabo de utilizar el español que mucho. Fue supuesto para ser algo especial, mi madre siempre dijo me que, solamente a me escuchó nunca nunca ella. Ella estaba siempre enojada conmigo. Luchamos sobre él una feria pocas veces… que me decían compartirla más con el resto del mundo.

Nunca le demostré ese lado de mí que a menudo fuera de miedo que la gente me juzgaría. Cuando hablo español, la gente dice it' s extraño, porque ella es así que utilizado a mí que mecanografía y que habla en inglés solamente. ¿Qué todo el esto tiene que hacer con usted? Estoy consiguiendo allí.

Era porque usted es tan diferente. No significo ninguna ofensa pero usted es a veces apenas divertido claro. Usted es tan desemejante yo. Hablo mi mente, verdad, pero también digo a gente mi nombre. Usted es una persona impresionante que no revela una cosa, y ser honesto usted es algo un enigma. ¡;Pero la gente apenas le ama!

Usted es así que diferente de cualquier persona que me he encontrado nunca, nunca, en vida real pero amo la audiencia de usted de todos modos. Usted sabe las pequeñas cosas impares que las porciones de la otra gente nunca sabrían… y que en sí mismo me tiene enseñado que es aceptable ser diferente. Usted es constantemente verdad a se, raramente nunca dando en cualquier persona que le ejerza presión sobre para la información, en peligro de la frustración total y de varias palabras de maldición.

Conjeturo que lo que estoy diciendo aquí soy, gracias de la parte inferior de mi corazón por apenas ser usted. Usted es una persona asombrosa y no podría ser más orgulloso ser honrado con su presencia. Le deseo el mejor de la suerte y de una recuperación rá;pida. ¡Abrazaré qué me hace diferente, porque usted ha demostrado me que no es una maldición, solamente una bendición!

¡Cumpleaños tardío feliz, idolhands!

-Wondering what I said? Look no further. Translations are below.-


It is me, helios_ikari. I remember you from Livejournal.

Hello, how are you? It has been months since I last saw you, or indeed even contacted you via livejournal.

Since we last posted to each other on Livejournal i have been paying more attention to my Spanish heritage. I am fluently bilingual when it comes to both English and Spanish. I just never used Spanish that much. It was supposed to be something special, my mother always told me, but I never ever listened to her. She was always angry with me. We fought over it a fair few times... telling me to share it more with the rest of the world.

I never showed you that side of me that often out of fear that people would judge me. When i speak spanish, people say it's weird, because they are so used to me typing and talking in english only. What does all this have to do with you? I am getting there.

It was because you are so different. I mean no offense but sometimes you are just downright funny. You are so unlike me. I speak my mind, true, but I also tell people my name. You are an awesome person who does not reveal a thing, and to be honest you are somewhat an enigma. But people just love you!

You're so different from anyone I have ever met, ever, in real life and yet I love hearing from you anyways. You know the odd little things that lots of other people would never know... and that in itself has taught me that it is okay to be different. You are constantly true to yourself, rarely ever giving into anyone who pressures you for information, at risk of mass frustration and several curse words.

I guess what I am saying here is, thank you from the bottom of my heart for just being you. You are an amazing person and I could not be prouder to be graced with your presence. I wish you the best of luck and a swift recovery. I will embrace what makes me different, for you have shown me that it is not a curse, but a blessing!

Happy belated birthday, idolhands!
