Create your own visitor map!


I've started a new blog- but don't worry, it's not full of emokid-esque ramblings.
It's purely full of crochet!

If you're interested, please stop by the essex hooker! (You have no idea how long I've wanted to use that!)

If anyone's on ravelry or crochetme, I love making new friends, so add me up! The same name as here (talumirage) also works with hookiness!

These peeps are cool because:
a) they faved/commented/loved me

Yeah, so I went to a Hallowe'en party... some arsehat drank some of my beer. I wish I knew who it was so I could make them pay me back!
So yeah, I was Madam Rapier from the Hood comics. I might put a pic up... kind of fits in with the cosplay category... maybe.

And I found this somewhere, and I love doing them, so yeah. Woot. But this is well limiting, so I'm gonna select song titles by many a band etc.

*Choose a singer/band/group.
*Answer using only titles of songs by that singer/band/group.

*Are you male or female?
"Beautiful Girl"- INXS

*Describe yourself!
"Misunderstood"- Bon Jovi

*What do people feel when they're around you?
"Love Today"- Mika

*How would you describe your previous relationship?
"There's Only One Hell"- Wildhearts

*Describe your current relationship?
"But I Do Love You"- LeAnn Rimes

*Where would you like to be now?
"Another Day In Paradise"- Phil Collins

*How do you feel about love?
"True Love"- Stevie Wonder (or very occasionally, "Love Stinks" from the Wedding Singer... lawl)

*What's your life like?
"It's A Hard Life"- Queen

*What would you ask for if you had only one wish?
"Happiness"- Ken Dodd

*Say something wise
"Chance For Living"- GBH, the point here is; "You only get only get one chance for living,
you get too many times to die"

Ok, so someone (mentioning no names ) told me I has to do this 8 things thing. So here we go.

Here are the rules:
1. Post these rules in your journal so others know how it works.
2. Post 8 random facts about yourself in your DA journal.
3. At the end of your post, tag 8 more people to learn some random things about.
4. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged.

1) I'm a vegetarian.
Have been since I was 16 (7 years and counting).

2) I watch people.
Not in a freaky way (I think...) like a stalker... I just make up a little story about them in my head as they walk past. Who are they? Are they happy? What's their cat called? Actually, that does sound weird.

3) Dropkick Murphys are my favourite band.
Yes. And not just because Al Barr is a sexy.

4) I LOVE comics.
Preferably Marvel, but I also like stuff by Roman Dirge, Jhonen Vasquez, Ted Naifeh. I also love The Sandman series. I heart Gambit and Deadpool. And manga. And I have all the Battle Royale mangas.
I am currently loving Big Hero 6, Secret Invasion, Thor and Eternals.

5) I love to crochet.
Ok, I've only recently got good enough to gift and sell what I make, but I still love to do it. Even though I get cramp in my fingers for days. Especially in my third metacarpals, which makes it hard to continue to crochet, as well as type!

6) I really think swearing is overrated.
It's become so facile to insert cuss words into your everyday speech, that it really doesn't shock now. Shock value of swear words generally= <.05%. Shock value of "C" word= <10% and falling fast. Interestingly, that word comes from Chaucer, so it can't be filthy, it's historical.

7) I know far too much random general knowledge trivia.
I should really go on the Weakest Link and try to win some CA$H. But I'd probably end up hauling off and decking Ann Robinson. Which leads nicely on to the last point:

8) I have a really bad temper.
A. REALLY. REALLY. Bad temper. Probably to do with being a manic depressive. WOO BIPOLAR.

PIKACHU, I TAG YUU:

and everyone who wants to do it.
If you do it, or found mine interesting, do let me know, as I am nosy and a praise/attention whore.

... yeah, so this is why I don't feel like updating with the huge backlog of photos I've got.

To explain briefly, my (my boyfriend's but whatever) dog Joker had to be put to sleep yesterday evening. On his birthday. Ok, he was 14 (98 in dog years) so he had a good life, but he was suffering so much, it was the kinder thing to do. Still, I spent most of the evening crying.

So this is why I'm not going to be uploading all the nice pics I have squirreled away.

Rainbow bridge y'all.

One love, nuff respect.

R.I.P, you daft old git

I found out what species of dragonfly my photos are of!

"The Migrant Hawker (Aeshna mixta) is with its length of 63 mm one of the smaller species of hawker dragonflies. The species prefers still or slow-flowing water and can tolerate brackish sites. The flight period is from July to the end of October. They can be found in North Africa, southern and central Europe to the Baltic region.

In the United Kingdom this insect was rare until the 1940's when it began migrating from the continent in large numbers. It continues to do so and is now a resident breeding species throughout England and Wales. It reached the Isle of Man in 1998 and Ireland in 2000."
