low, flying planes

[sigerson]

I'm in the airport on my way to the AAR, with a few hours to kill before my flight to Chicago. It's a beautiful day, and the planes are taking off right in front of my window. I'm not quite yet ready, I think, to be saturated with nollij, but I'll be there by the first session tomorrow.

For a few reasons that don't bear explaining on Livejournal, I am pretty low. Therefore, I am making a blatant plea for internet sympathy and combining it with a distraction technique.

So here's my offer.
If you comment, I will reply to your comment with one of three things:
--a costume item that suits you
--a happy memory of you
--a haiku based on a topic you suggest.

Of course, replies may be delayed till I can find some available Chicago webbernets, but I promise a reply to all of them.

And now, I'm going to eat my damn Butterfinger.

*hug* Have an awesome time at AAR! I think you are fabulous.

(And I would happily accept your suggestion of a costume item; a happy memory; or a haiku on the subject of cheese.)

BUTTERFINGER!!!!

Long-distance sympathy from a local area code...

*air hug!*

Here's a distraction I can offer: while you are flying, take the time to enjoy the clouds. They're freakin' _beautiful_ from the air.

Mmm, Butterfinger. Enjoy that.

A costume, please. Or, you could write a haiku about frogs.

Ioka Valley Farm. I had maple on pancakes yesterday and thought of you, and Yao smuggling in the sugarfree syrup...

And here's a haiku "found" from a Very Bad Poem.

We have seen the Best
Of cheese, lying gently at its
ease, smelling like feet


wait, it didn't include that line...

You get the superfabulous one. Nettuno, in a Monteverdi Opera I did wardrobe for, had a giant circular cape--with its hem fully stretched, it covered a 10' radius, out of shimmering blue china silk. For you, I offer a version of the same, but in greens and greens and greens.

Crispy, crunchy joy
The bar explodes in crumbles
All over my shirt

I'm sorry you're feeling down... *hugs*.

Oo, good call.

Unreachable landscape
Billowing swells and mist plains
Who would not walk there?

[cybersattva.livejournal.com]

Awww, sorry you're feeling down. If any of the Philly contingent can help, please let us know.

I always enjoy costume ideas or happy memories.

[queenofhalves]

AWESOME.

[sigerson.livejournal.com]

Hats!
Hats are funny!


An elaborate jeweled turban, with a gem in the center like a hen's egg. Big swathes of gold and crimson silk, wrapped so much it looks like it's trying to eat your head.

OOOOOH. I love it! Can I swan around like Shirley Maclane?

[krasota.livejournal.com]

Happy memory!

I think you need gloves.
I think you need elbow-length white gloves with white embroidery, tiny pearls all alng the hem and the edge. I think they need to have a design embroidered so subtly into the back that you can only tell it's there when the light slants just right. I think they need to have a tiny cutaway pattern in the palm of your hand.

Leaving the home hug
into the hug of heartland
let it lift me up.

[ellen-fremedon.livejournal.com]

:-( I am sorry that you are low. I will take a costume item for cheering-up purposes.

Mmmm, Butterfinger.

[sigerson.livejournal.com]

Just distract me or tell me it'll all be okay.

Remember being Lloyd the Bartender? I found a picture of that a little while ago. Beautifully creepy and elegant.

Navel haiku plz kthx.

I have a picture of you, Nate Dean, and someone whose name I've forgotten, doing the "Hi! My Name is Joe!" dance in the Academy dining hall. You're really rocking out.

Which also reminds me of chopstick day and finger food day at the dining hall...

[krasota.livejournal.com]

*cracks up* Someday, you should scan that pic.

I have fond memories of many hugs. :)
