this post brought to you by the letter 'Y'

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
A meme: Ten words with Y and what they mean to me.

1. whY
...do I garden? I am sunburned. My lawnmower just crapped a spark plug wire. My raised beds are falling apart, my hands are swollen and my back hurts. My penstemon has crown rot and my rosa multiflora chinensis is unhappy for some stupid spoiled brat reason. The weeds are thriving and I lost my sandwort v.'Cherry Pie.' The grass is growing too fast. The Cupressus Leylandii is a giant monster beast seconded only by my tam junipers. The Noble fir is sulking. POOP.

2. Yellow
This is the color of the sun, which I could stand to see a lot more of in my life. I have seasonal affective disorder, among numerous other things, and I have to fight like a rabid weasel just to stay awake during the winter, and to stay in a positive mind space too. Thats why I started this blog...to get me through the last part of winter without going on a shooting spree.

3. Yolanda
This is a name I am glad is not mine. It sounds like something you spread on toast.

4. Yiff
A sound I never, never want to hear. A web search you should never, never do. This is a realm of the sexual that lies right outside my limits of tolerance. Not because it's dirty, but because it's just dorkier than fuck.

5. Yogurt
I know how to make my own yogurt. Do you?
Yogurt is also a main ingredient in my amazing homemade bread recipe that I made up all by myself because I am clever like that.

6. Yawn
I do a lot of this in the winter. I go to bed around 7pm and sleep until someone wakes me up. Then I nap around noontime. I know; its terrible. But I can put myself to sleep with a form of self-hypnosis and choose my dreams and even do lucid dreaming and problem solving; and thats pretty cool.

7. Yale
I don't think I would have had a very good time there. Also one of the dorkier looking heraldic beasts ( but it beats the breast spurting milk all to hell. Hey, look it up.)

8. Yelm
A town here in Washington where J.Z. Knight lives, the dipshit broad who has suckered some very rich people into believing she channels Ramtha, a 3000 yr. old warrior spirit. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH! Yeah, right. She has a horse barn near the main highway that has french windows, gauze curtains and a freaking chandelier in it. Because horses appreciate fine Swarovski crystal.

9. Yegg
A yegg is a criminal. I do not like criminals; they suck. See #8.

10. Yarrow
I grow a variety of yarrow; v. 'Paprika'. Unless I lost that over the winter too. Dammit. Apparently the dried stalks of yarrow were numbered and used to cast the I Ching. R. Crumb, an artist I love and hate, used to submit material to a comic called 'Yarrowstalks.' It must have choked him.





Wanna be a part of the self-replicating thought form thingy? (ie the modern equivalent of the chain letter) let me know in your comments and I'll assign you a letter. I know, I know, that's not how it's supposed to work; I'm supposed to 'tag' you and shit, but how rude; like you don't have a life? So, you know, if you wanna play (and avoid getting cancer or having your business fail because your REFUSED) lemmie know. 'K?
