Ok, I just wrote a huge, long extraordinary post, but it looks like it was lost to the internet gods...
Yesterday I got a lot of "need to get done" stuff done. (Laundry, grocery shopping, some cleaning, trash out, etc...) It feels nice to have most of it off my chest. I still have a little more to do, but A LOT is done.

Last night was terrible! I got about 2 or 3 hours of sleep. I was tossing and turning. To make matters worse, there was NASTY wind! We kept slamming into the dock, the stern light was knocked off the boomkin. I don't even know if anything else was damaged... I don't think so though. Nights like that I REALLY wish we where anchored out, anchor...

Anchored out is supremely nice, the apostrophe on being self sufficient. Even the Dashews have gone to power though. I love being able to point where I want, when I want. Dry and cozy in the pilot house, on autopilot, burning maybe a gal/hr at 8 knots. I have sailed, and I can enjoy it, but for me the expense of sails could buy enough fuel to go around the world in a lean passagemaker. Backup rig can double as a dinghy winch/cargo loader/sun canopy. Cruising you spend most of your time on the hook anyway so sails for me are just plan B.

oh, i just meant the boat youre on now. see, cause im a land lubber n shit.
I have an exciting weekend. Friday is a birthday in my house, (boat). We're going to go see Chronicals of Narnia. I've been wanting to see that movie for a long time now. I have the cartoon of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and the BBC movies of several others.
Then, on Saturday, I might be going to see one of my friend's...

Funny you say "house." Five years on land and I still say "galley" and "head." There's always port and starboard on the truck, which wierds out my buddies.
Two hours is not bad to drive. FigmentofaPearl is surprised I'm driving an hour and a half to go dancing at a USO style big band swing night. My knee is healing fast though, maybe that's all it is. Or she really doesn't want me to show up and cramp her style. I hope not. I kinda think she likes me. She's a sailorgirl too. Anyway I'm driveling. It's admirable to be such an altruistic person. Your friend is lucky to have you.

glad things resolved themselves with your friend.
I was wondering what other things I could write about here and couldn't really think of anything. My days are starting to run together, again, without any real distinction between one and the next. So, I am thinking, smoke rising, trying to find an interesting bit to express for my reading audience... lol

dear sailor girl. i just figured out the flaw in your profile pic. you moved your head a tiny bit, and theres a double image of your chin. did you send that shot? that might be part of the reason. i think it might be affecting the clarity of your eyes in the picture.
i only just noticed, so, now you know how long it takes to stop staring at your boobz.

I am going to have all new pictures taken for my next application.
I think it's funny... I never thought anyone would want to read MY journal. It's just me ranting random streams of consciousness out into the abyss... and there you are, a reader. You absorb my thoughts into you penetrating your sphere of reality, making me real.

I'm on wireless... it wasn't acting like it had done anything... then all of a sudden there where 4... I don't know...
And honestly, if they need to make fun of me to make themselves feel better, it doesn't hurt me. People do what ever they can to try to make themselfs feel better, and if they are so petty to have to making fun of a persons internet acting stange, then I feel sorry for them. I have more important things to worry about.

heh well the trick is you write interesting random ranting streams of consciousness well at least for the moment that is... becuase you know your adoring public are fickle and could move on to the next new random rambler leaving you feelign oh so last week.
So far today has been interesting, (and it's only 10am). All yesterday there was sleet and nasty wind. Ok, I would call how much wind there was normal in Key West this time of year, but in Philly? We got gusts up to 56mph. To most people inside their comfy homes, I'm sure you barely noticed. My house was leaning over with each gust. (In...

thanks for the comment on my set!!!!

There is no need to thank me, you're gorgous! And in addition to that, when I read your profile I couldn't help but laugh... Here's to picking one's nose and stealing silverware! LOL!
Yesterday was awsome! I went up to Brooklyn to visit family. We had a great time. My brother is an amazing artist. One of his short films was in Sundance 2005. And I got to se the project he's working on now. He has the trailer and 20 pages of script done and is trying to sell it. It was VERY cool! Plus, the view...

For a pretty lady out there roughing it, you don't seem to be complaining much at all. 
I'd get some diesel before nightfall though, or an electric space heater at least. I was out on a lake early this morning and it was quite brisk, a few gusts up to forty knots. Ah, but you seem resourceful, troubleshooting your internet problem and all. Take care.

always interesting to read what you are up to
good luck with getting the movie sorted and building your portfolio not that I would think you need it too much.
Your brother had a film in the sundance festival that is heaps cool .. sounds like you are a family of creative types.

I want to thank you all for your kind support in my recent application and denial to model for suicide girls. I am going to, over the next three months, get more and better photos of myself with which I can apply next time. I am sure I will be accepted shortly, and that the universe is just preparing the me and the site for...

I want to have two websites, (at least). One dedicated to travel, containing articals and pictures and one focusing more on my art, and my art being a reflection of who I am and what I'm going through. (There would be a lot about my travels as that's what my world would be encompassed by.) I have a few other ideas of what I'd like to do as well, but those are two of them...
I'm trying to figure out how I would be able to do photosets while we travel as well. It would be part of the excitement of going to a new place... figure out a set we could do there...
...If I got accepted.

If you're serious about the websites, when you are ready I'd suggest getting in touch with Twwly for website design. She's the BEST !!!
You can check out her business site at Twwly.com
Also, talked to our photog today and he's ready when you are. We've got a bunch of shoots in Philly scheduled for the weekend of Jan. 21-22. 21st is completely booked, but the 22nd isn't. I know it's kinda soon, but... if you're interested, let me know. Glad to read you've got the right outlook on life. Hope all is going great!!!

Glad you've joined the Pirates group!
My instinct tells me the SG staff probably has more applicants than they can handle, though I really don't know how it works. A couple of my friends' list people actually got selected but it's been weeks turning into months and they're still not up. I guess it's just a mystery...

Hi there, fellow sea dog. I spent half my life at sea, and think of it every day. Probably all emotions- happiness, sadness, or those with sex or anger or loss, are all amplified somehow at sea. So I'm trying to cheer you up because you are so great.

Yes, this is a lovely place we live in.
Deisel Covered Daydreams
Delusional, deisel smelling, and soot covered moment. Wondering why. Landlocked cabin fever taking hold. The ocean, I can hear her, though she is distant; more then a day away. Brown sludge they call water murking up my mind. Cold winds whipping around the mast, creeping into my spine sending me shivers. I close my eyes and allow my mind to wander: Key...

seems you are living the life it seems
imasailorgirl:
I do try. I figure, I don't know what comes after this life... hell, I don't even know if I'm going to be alive tomorrow... So I better make the most of it now. I look at "bad" and stressful times of my life and accept that I got positive things out of the bad experiance. For instance, I was robbed by a roommate for over $5000 worth of stuff... but had that not happened I would not be living on this boat now. It's a long story, but its a direct line from being robbed to living on my boat and in Key West for over a year.
I stay positive and take one step at a time and I get everything I need to continue.

I applied to be a model on the site.

Good to hear about the movies, just keep up the enthusiasm and you'll be golden.

From: StevenGlad you liked reading it as much as I did. Gotta say I'm a bit hypocritical (very hypocritical!) as I make and spend piles of money ruthlessly. And I wrap up my own ego in my possessions way too often. Like junk, it's addictive but it doesn't make me happy.
Exactly. Our society has trained us from birth to be this way. We have been raised to believe spending will make us happy even when we "know" it won't.
I think the key is finding what DOES make us happy. Then we focus and allow ourselves to spend on THOSE things.
My spending problem is I spend, and like a drug, I feel good right then. And then, when I get home, I feel guilty. I like the thing, but not enough to override the guilt. But when I've done things that feed into things I enjoy, and I complete a project I feel good instead.
For example, I don't feel guilty when I buy cloth to make clothes. Or when I buy books I know I want to read, or a movie I love. But when I just buy little things like fast food ornI don't know... just little things that get money spent on them like that... I feel so crappy.
When I lived in Key West I did a lot less of that kind of spending. I also didn't have cable tv! I'm looking forward to being unhooked from the marina, even though I like some tv shows, I prefer the benifits of being "off the grid" more.
I figure if I can learn to manage my money in a large city, I can manage it anywhere I go.
