<br />
I was sleeping about 18 hours a day and feeling really rubbish. However some vitamin B12 shots and now Folate and Vitamin D are getting back on the mend. I have been back at work for a few weeks.<br />
<br />
Had an awesome Samhain group ritual I had a seizure and came round thinking I had actually crossed the veil, very surreal. Fot those that don't wish to get a picture of the afterlife, look away now, god is MOST definitely a woman and there is whale music. <br />

V & I camped in the accessible field (due to my unsteady gait). We were right in the middle of everything and consequently managed to do many more talks (British Goddesses, Hare Spirit, Incense Making, Pagan Songs). Also the opening ritual, the shall I / shan't I do the fire maze (we waited for the flames to die down a lot). Later in the evening we listened to Kate and Corwen and then Damh the Bard (both very fabulous). But half way trough Dave's set they started standing up to dance and it had been a really long day so I thought we would be better moving outside the tent. Last thing I remember was clipping my water bottle to my bag. Must have been a complex partial as I was quite happily led outside and collapsed on a man called Martin (who happens to manage a care home so was merrily taking charge). Took a few minutes to get back in the room then he helped V & L get me back to the tent.<br />
<br />
Then Saturday we burned the Wicker Man. But went back to the tent to do a private little ritual. Which was lovely.<br />
<br />
There is something magical about the Mercian. It makes you slow down. No computers, phone died after the first day and just being cut off from the real world was lovely. Plus the company. I am struggling a lot with not being at work I am an incredibly social creature and extroverts are recharged by being around people. At the moment the cocktail of meds I am on are so sedating I can't actually make it out of the house on my own. But having a circle of friends around me, who didn't mind that I regularly had to has a little nap, was grand.<br />
<br />
Sunday we did the inevitable trot round the stalls and I bought a couple of books and a very pretty hare necklace. Kate gave me a private concert of the outlandish knight on one of the medieval instruments and we talked about maybe doing a workshop.<br />
<br />
I came back to find that the Creative Beings post for September was 'Slow September'. It's been a prompt of mixed feelings I hate my 'slowness' but a chat with the Susie Fox who did the British Goddesses workshop reminded me as I bought he book and she signed it that illness is often a lesson in disguise and when we have worked out what we're supposed to be learning the ailment or what we need to help us with our ailment will be revealed. So can it be a coincidence that the Mercian ended on 1st September and my appointment for the epilepsy nurse is 2nd September.<br />

Stasis in darkness.

Then the substanceless blue

Pour of tor and distances.
<br />

God's lioness,

How one we grow,
<br />
Pivot of heels and knees! ---The furrow

Splits and passes, sister to

The brown arc

Of the neck I cannot catch,

Nigger-eye

Hooks ---

Black sweet blood mouthfuls,

Shadows.

Something else

Hauls me through air ---
<br />
Thighs, hair;
<br />
Flakes from my heels.
<br />
<br />
White
<br />
Godiva, I unpeel ---
<br />
Dead hands, dead stringencies.
<br />
<br />
And now I
<br />
Foam to wheat, a glitter of seas.
<br />
The child's cry
<br />
<br />
Melts in the wall.
<br />
And I
<br />
Am the arrow,
<br />
<br />
The dew that flies,
<br />
Suicidal, at one with the drive
<br />
Into the red
<br />
<br />
Eye, the cauldron of morning.

<br />
Freezing my arse off<br />
Planting violets in a grave yard,<br />
To inconspicuously gather<br />
Goofer dirt,<br />
<br />
It was simpler,<br />
Choosing the fabric, black silk<br />
Symbolic of you’re annoying slickness,<br />
Matching the colour of you heart.<br />
<br />
Now I sit, needle and thread.<br />
Unleashing my domestic goddess<br />
Stitch…stitch…stitch,<br />
I damn as I darn.<br />
<br />
I stuff you soundly.<br />
With dirt, your scribbled signature,<br />
A photo, complete with<br />
Ingratiating smile.<br />
<br />
I name you.<br />
I feed you.<br />
I bind you.<br />
<br />
With ruby ribbons,<br />
Your hateful mouth,<br />
Your woeful groin,<br />
Your interfering hands.<br />
<br />
A last kiss<br />
Before I bury you deep<br />
In the frozen earth.<br />
A final thought<br />

I'm attempting an ottava rima<br />
Having imbibed two Tia Maria's<br />
Drunk in charge of a poem a crime-a?<br />
Only rhyme I can find now is gonorrhoea <br />
Feeling a light weight and passed my primer <br />
This isn't my best offering to date I fear<br />
Well maybe I shall give up gallantly<br />

You're still my knight <br />
We've let out the thongs in your armour<br />
I'm still your lady <br />
Though my wimple is crushed<br />
I have a tendency to roll on the floor<br />
Your chivalry hasn't waned you still pick me up, dust me off<br />
You listen to me explain the post ictal is not the same as being a pterodactyl <br />
In 20 years we've raised a page<br />
Upgraded the steed<br />
Built a castle <br />
On a Sunday afternoon I still sit with my head in your lap reading <br />
You still watch 22 men kick about an inflated sheep's bladder<br />
I decline a bowl of my own cookie dough ice cream<br />
Then I eat half of yours <br />
If this isn't bliss, I don't know what is?<br />

<br />
It's lamentable,<br />
This voracious compulsion <br />
You have<br />
To collect <br />
Machiavellian individuals<br />
Cunningly disguised as<br />
Waifs and strays<br />
With the same<br />
Eagerness<br />
We collected garbage pail kid stickers as kids<br />
<br />
Gods' know we do compassion <br />
We're sea side rock me and you<br />
Slice us in half we'd read succour <br />
Or sucker<br />

I KNOW you want the best for him,<br />
I KNOW he wants the best for him <br />
But that's where the unfortunate conflict of interest lies<br />
That it's only me who sees he is sucking you dry<br />

<br />
The office is<br />
A palace of lies...<br />
Did you not get my email?<br />
<br />
It must have got lost<br />
In the ether<br />
As if the 'net'<br />
Has a ravenous beast<br />
Fishing the web<br />
For digital correspondence<br />
<br />
Nom Nom Nom <br />
<br />
Much more convincing<br />
An explanation<br />
Then I just couldn't be<br />

I've written the poem and hopefully Jess is going convert the poem into song.<br />
<br />
Today I also tried blagging nomes of people. I was successful with Freebird. In return for marmalade gin. I offered the use of the poem in a piece of his art.<br />
<br />
Free also invited me to an abodoned art fb page and I'm really hoping that it will inspire me to get creating again.Queenie24http://www.blogger.com/profile/11277934467722472130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285042651475522695.post-12047488783918428882011-11-21T14:03:00.000-08:002011-11-21T14:06:32.490-08:00O Rly...So there has been no art. None!<br /><br />Ok a few bits and bobs at work, as I've recently taken my cuttle bug into work and started making smash books with the kids.<br /><br />There has also been some learning to crochet, which is amazingly theraputic.<br /><br />So today, in an effort to fire up my creative juices. I have spent an obscene amount of money on a Cricut Expression. Hoping that expensive new toy will get me going.<br /><br />QQueenie24http://www.blogger.com/profile/11277934467722472130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285042651475522695.post-30508883309159485202010-01-24T10:39:00.000-08:002010-01-24T10:39:57.749-08:00Gutter Girlz: Jan. 15th, Prompt #33<a href="http://guttergirlz.blogspot.com/2010/01/jan-15th-prompt-33.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+GutterGirlz+%28Gutter+Girlz%29">Gutter Girlz: Jan. 15th, Prompt #33</a>Queenie24http://www.blogger.com/profile/11277934467722472130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285042651475522695.post-265635932133066322010-01-24T10:21:00.000-08:002010-01-24T13:27:53.150-08:00GutterGirlz Prompt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPO2o66ygEc99oeMR-0gbUrW_U4jQcsmmPULcHuh3btegPqwHnMrcoy4qV1Ey7dctUCjql95IVkbDj3EF-LXMl5dS5sRxZ8aGyqHFy72Hryaltl6lAwTqyLpwJ4nFnlD2DBQoQINYp6jc/s1600-h/Kiss+My+Ass.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 249px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPO2o66ygEc99oeMR-0gbUrW_U4jQcsmmPULcHuh3btegPqwHnMrcoy4qV1Ey7dctUCjql95IVkbDj3EF-LXMl5dS5sRxZ8aGyqHFy72Hryaltl6lAwTqyLpwJ4nFnlD2DBQoQINYp6jc/s400/Kiss+My+Ass.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430380148562683458" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2gfoK34ArU-Jj3mwintkp2W6GRzzwFnKgbTxtIqbj0B_xYZY9LiPj2dOa2Akqxw50qZXclMNTIWgg1lO7m9MVcnSTvVhhY8Ri8ft_p65da_KdE72FkcDOmKYqM58McH0QaZpw_CuHgUI/s1600-h/Kiss+My+Ass.jpg"><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE PROMPT:</span><br />Kiss My ASS<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE SONG:</span><br />Bad Reputation by Joan Jett</a><br /><br />Well, this has been my very first attempt at being prompted.<br /><br />I've not really had much time for art. I guess that I don't think I have much talent. But I do like to cut and stick.<br /><br />So this is all this is, mostly collage with a little stamping. The green and blue background is canabalised from a childrens book (I managed to harvest a whole bag off kiddy books from the library for the princely sum of £2.50).<br /><br />The of course kissing demanded a big lip stick print and text is from 'spell with flickr'.<br /><br />The statuary 'ass' though must confess did struggle not to spell it 'arse' - it's a Brit thing. Anyhoo statuary - I loved this image. I was looking at female nudes, gals with ink, but a sudden whim got me looking at statuary. I just thought it worked, the lass with the ass is as cool as marble. It seemed fitting that she'd use such frank language.<br /><br />It was finished off with some black embossed paper and computer generated text of the song prompt. So nothing too taxing. However, it was the first time that I scanned my end project straight onto pc - and I must say it's fab - makes a much clearer image than a pic, really captures the textures better.Queenie24http://www.blogger.com/profile/11277934467722472130noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285042651475522695.post-58015037967074613542009-06-28T14:12:00.000-07:002009-06-28T14:13:21.436-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6M19hCkQwlZOV0JGFqayNzCCe1UTckAKhEa0D-TwrrLmiMUNJfPENki0jqLqvJmBXtxX5skyGKd2hmNVE05IBRMn5T7trsLBdRXa4uHUOygQl9MufVuH6bcogyhNj0fL_TpwqCEDPP4o/s1600-h/picture00064.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6M19hCkQwlZOV0JGFqayNzCCe1UTckAKhEa0D-TwrrLmiMUNJfPENki0jqLqvJmBXtxX5skyGKd2hmNVE05IBRMn5T7trsLBdRXa4uHUOygQl9MufVuH6bcogyhNj0fL_TpwqCEDPP4o/s320/picture00064.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352489578913536418" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifgDi57BlByleEXSb8xIKE1QZdRQQGv62WfL5d0StAaFauyiBvAp3FWEjMzDplb5mIDtrKH4wf3Qrdh_Q4jhb3H6RGgJpTuUMlqq6NMCoPNkTnWs4rEFsZtCo0TdPuQBbLSPUz3_20rv0/s1600-h/picture00061.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifgDi57BlByleEXSb8xIKE1QZdRQQGv62WfL5d0StAaFauyiBvAp3FWEjMzDplb5mIDtrKH4wf3Qrdh_Q4jhb3H6RGgJpTuUMlqq6NMCoPNkTnWs4rEFsZtCo0TdPuQBbLSPUz3_20rv0/s320/picture00061.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352489579137866642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihlb9-GfGg-_VBCw9Z60JU8kzfPm6tzP2veejGXuuAE-gVIJpqiSGeM3WsmWZ9xfmW4mKwD4Q1HPaf8froKEKFtmDHT4GhOuD_mnorxN6CoOarqMgWJp4kCBfHfRjd2SgLIb5r4a5qjIs/s1600-h/picture00060.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihlb9-GfGg-_VBCw9Z60JU8kzfPm6tzP2veejGXuuAE-gVIJpqiSGeM3WsmWZ9xfmW4mKwD4Q1HPaf8froKEKFtmDHT4GhOuD_mnorxN6CoOarqMgWJp4kCBfHfRjd2SgLIb5r4a5qjIs/s320/picture00060.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352489572794450642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXorIsoRTRRvClJDu_7pUNMMbF8tZvZHsB95x2wODRO8wElDT67varHhnCBXLIgX78m6FtCgdeCJlLOxYZLHBchVHQNFK5iKGJAEsB30l8FgMcs4SGwBemW29TRGSUAecNd82z1gjq_B4/s1600-h/picture00059.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXorIsoRTRRvClJDu_7pUNMMbF8tZvZHsB95x2wODRO8wElDT67varHhnCBXLIgX78m6FtCgdeCJlLOxYZLHBchVHQNFK5iKGJAEsB30l8FgMcs4SGwBemW29TRGSUAecNd82z1gjq_B4/s320/picture00059.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352489567260072178" border="0" /></a>Queenie24http://www.blogger.com/profile/11277934467722472130noreply@blogger.com0
