Lucky Penny Hawkings

Lemon fresh, ye are. But if I keep ye in the apartment long 'nough, y'might chase the fresh paint odor out

Ooh. Ya be temptin' me ye are. Hee! Right now, I'm just plotting. I have to get all of the boxes emptied before I go doing any full-on decorating. But it should be very interesting to see how it turns out. I mean really...if Slytherin gets the bedroom, who gets the rest of the rooms? I'm thinking Gryffindor can take the living area, the more I contemplate it. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff have to confer on who gets the kitchen and bathroom.

The ideas are there. Trust me. Obviously, there has to be a Jolly Roger somewhere. I'm still deciding where and how. The other idea is, given that I be a touch of a Harry Potter fan, is the idea of color themes for each of the Hogwarts houses. My bedroom is already going to be green and gray/silver (for Slytherin), but I am considering using the colors of the other houses on the living area, kitchen and bathroom. This is by no means a definite choice yet

*flops down with a pair of fuzzy cowprint slippers!* Ah, the apartment is moved into! A few small things at the old place, but nothing I can't get later in the week. I should try to see if the DSL is up by some weird luck of chance, and if it is, this pirate will be fully back in the cyberworld! ARRR! I need to get a new desk and entertainment center, but that should be easy..at least, I can hope. The entertainment center needs to be narrow to fit in the proper corner...there is one that the Former has, but I would need to spend about 300 buckeroos to get that one. Er...riiiight. Not right now. I am, however, missing rum. I need Private Stock. Tonight perhaps.

The other possibility is to stuff my bra with the little plastic baggie containing the fishies.. "My breasts are not lopsided, they do not glow in the dark, and the only reason they would be moving is if there was an earthquake." */deadpan* BTW: Thank all of you for the well wishies And Pete, I'm not sure when there will be a housewarmer yet. Sometime in January perhaps. After I have removed a few of the boxes and such. Just start shopping for slippers :)

Difficult, dangerous, but since when did that matter! :) We do practically everything else with our weapons. *ohdear. I just went there. LOOOVELY....*

*chuckle* Well, I thank ya to be sure. Most of it'd made by me own little hands..not all of course, but most. The jacket's my pride and joy I think..nicely beaten up, not hemmed at the bottom, which gives it a very mussed up look. I plan to make another one, but I won't be able to give this one up worth a damn...

Dunno. Though I suspect it has something to do with the inability to put up aforementioned lights in the new digs yet.....

Speakin' of which, certain sharp and pointies are officially in the new abode as we speak.. Along with the other sharp pointies of various persuasions. My new maintenance guy is gonna be quite curious as to what he's got moving into the building when he comes to light the pilot light....

It be me plan...it may just be an open-housey sort of thing..people drop by, say hi, and go to whatever else they need to do. I also considered, given the floors, to have it be a slipper party. Bring your oddest slippers! :) Oh of course. Pirate Twister wouldn't be Pirate Twister without pirate RULES :)

That is the plan! All mine, all my own...my precioussssssssssss... Did we mention close enough to work to where I can go there for short trips on lunch?

The alcohol doesn't have to match my floors, luv. *giggle!* And yes, still wanna keep me beanbag. It can go in the closet when I'm going nuts on sewin'. One of the joys of the new place is that the living area will be little more than my desk, where my computer will be, and my TV..all of which will be on one side of the room. The only furnishing on the other side will be the shelvy thing built to the wall on the other side. I plan on keeping this space as an "all purpose" area. It'll have my table and sewing things when I'm sewing, an air mattress for when company sleeps over or if I feel like being comfy in front of the TV, or maybe even a game of Twister. *snicker* Pirates. Playin' Twister. That's jus' wrong, mates.

No writings today, but apparently someone decided to put some mult-colored lights in the privy....complete with a few touches of tinsel...

So Saturday, Lucky gets to move officially into her new apartment! The process of finding and acquiring said place (amongst other real life manure) is part of the reason why Lucky's been away from the Pub a bit more than she'd like...but come the end of the week, things are gonna finally get back to NORMAL! Er...well..sort of! No, it doesn't float on water, as much as that would please this pirate miss. However, it's a lovely place...high ceilings, new bathroom fixtures, fresh paint and appliances that are in healthy shape and NOT PINK! (have I mentioned that my old place has a pink stove?) T'is a fine home to be sure, for one that is on land. The cable car stops at the end of the street, and runs quickly to my place of occupation and several places of interest. The neighborhood is fairly decent, not perfect, but safer than places several blocks away. Grocery store the next block over, a liquor store at one end of the street, laundrymat and bar on the other end (and we all know that at least two of those are important to a pirate!), and a Blockbuster another block down. No kitties or puppies allowed, but fish are acceptable, and I am hoping that I can sometime travel and get a few of those infamous GloFish as a housewarming gift. At very least, I will start looking for a tank that I can make all piratey in the near future. So...er..yah! Come in and stay a while! At least in the virtual version you don't have to remove your shoes (the real version has white-painted floors...)...

We call this a "good thing", mates. No one wants a picture of Penny's bloody nose. Really

Don' give th' fates any ideas, luv. I'd rather live me life a bit more dent-free in th' future. Me mum already thinks I inherited her nose-injury jinx as it is now.....

The one in the black and red? That be our dread whipcracker, Neko Able to wrap ankles and whack bells like Indiana Jones if given the opportunity to do so. "Sword? Oh, you mean" *snap-yank* "THIS sword? The one you don't have anymore?" Aye, one needs t' be mindful if that bloody whip is in his hands..or any other implement of punishment. His favorite line is "Free floggings, no sin required..." *mindfully tucks the tail-end of her coat about her backside*

Nah. I loaned it from Captain Jack Sparrow. He didn' seem t' mind.. *shifty-eyed look*

*elaborate, Bird-like bow* Thank ya, luv. Heh, me an' th' Shark now 'ave an understandin'...I won' hit 'er if she don' hit me.

My bit to this, silly as it might be. I like both the re-enactment and "fantasy" ends of things. I tend to try to think of "historically feasable" instead of "historically accurate" most of the time. If it's not quite accurate, could I have gotten away with it mostly unnoticed, in other words? Sticklers, for the most part, get an ear for as long as they are civil with their tongues. I remember talking to one girl at the Michigan faire way back when and she was talking to me about the whole "covering your hair" thing, because I had my hair down at that point. Funny enough, nowadays it's very hard to get me to wear my hair down, not because of historical accuracy, but because it's just more comfortable. But overall I try to be realistic, if not completely accurate. You aren't going to see me wearing spandex tights, for example, unless I'm intentionally doing something crazy and wacky, and I try to keep to some pseudo code of dress...the most important one is "can it get dirty and if it does, will I really care that much?" This is, of course, particularly important to my pirate wear. If I can't bring it on the Royaliste and have it able to take abuse..it's not good pirate wear. :) This is, by the way, how I stress-tested my green coat. :) Even if it's not a "dressup event" the coat still comes along so it can get a little more sea mileage.

*carved in yet another place...this is one big 'ead to hold all this information* There once was a pirate called Lucky Whose fortunes were sometimes real sucky A yardarm's bad grace Caught her square in the face But Penny is somehow still plucky!

Did ye see the dent before or after ye returned her to th' rental place, luv?

At the moment, faintly bruised and a little on the sore side, but no swelling. There is a very faint hint of "raccoon eyes" but it's so faint that it can easily be mistaken for either a lack of sleep or makeup smudging. I'm not sure wearing my glasses to work really helped matters.. probably should have worn my contacts but they need a serious cleaning. Bouncin' back yet again, Cap'n :)

Odd addition to the whole thing.. Was rubbing the top of my forehead just now, and noticed a tender spot. At first, I thought maybe it was from the yardarm, until I remembered that as I was putting things into the trunk of the car yesterday, I hit my head on the trunk lid. Just prone for disaster aren't I, mates?

Oh hers was definitely realistic. She just omitted the flagrantly er....colorful language that I was using to express my discomfort
