"And I Turned the Pages..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

To-day I filled in for Waen at her pottery class, since she's in Tennessee, and I threw clay on the wheel for the first time. It's such an odd feeling, sort of a oh-in-my-hands-is-this-thing-I've-made, and it was so small and fit perfectly in my hands, and even when it collapsed I couldn't let it go. I just kept thinking, oh, oh, look at this tiny little thing I've made, isn't that amazing?

On the way home Mum and I talked about having a baby. I said I thought I'd feel possessive, sort of oh, my goodness, this tiny beautiful little person is mine. Mum said what she mostly thought was, oh, my God, it's so tiny and I'm holding it, look at those tiny little fingers, didn't know anything could be that tiny, oh.

Besides the squished vase, I made a big fish tile, a butterfly, and a huge pile of little clay hearts.

Babies are-- I don't know. I've never actually been close enough to one to have an opinion one way or another. Except that I don't like them, which is, I suppose, an opinion on its own.

Randomly, I saw Nicholas Farrell on television today. XD I think I am being haunted by Hamlets. (Which reminds me, this was on today. Look at the cast list. I didn't record it, though, sadly.)

They're tiny and wriggly and pink and ugly and they screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam rilly loud. I don't like them, actually, at all. But I think when I have one that's my own, that'll change.

Heeeeeeeee. Well, Hamlets sort of have a penchant for haunting, don't they? (...OMG BOTH OF THEM SQUEEEEEEEE. How was it?)

We'll see when you have one, then. XD Because I'm certainly not. I suppose I may end up being an aunt-thing eventually, as my sister has names picked out, but.

It's something that runs in the family, apparently. (I don't know. XD I couldn't watch it, either. Someone else was using the cable. But look! ALSO KEVIN KLINE. XD)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes, we will! You and Waen both. I already have names, too, and Waen's just kind of going '...mmmkay. I'll visit every once in a while, okay? but if you let them climb on me, I'll discipline them myself'.

So it would seem. (...I'm putting it on our Netflix account.)

XDDD I think I told my sister I'd buy them candy and take them to the zoo. But that's it. What are your names? Maya and Matt are planning to wait until Maya has her Phd, but that's not too long yet.

(...Ahahaha. I think it's the film that the JBH-inna-hammock photos come from.)

You'd be a much nicer aunt. Will you aunt mine, too? Nicolas, Sophie, and Jane. Awwwwwww, babies! :D :D :D

(Yes, well, I just ordered it. I will relate all to you. ...OMG. GUESS WHAT. I just realised! You know how we need a sixth film to complete our marathon? We can get the JBH-inna-tutu one! Or at least we can /try/.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Of course! As long as I may buy them candy and take them to the zoo. :D

(You'd better. ... ... CAN WE????)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! ^___^ They'll love you.

(I will! ...YES! ^___________________________^)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. :D

(THEN WE DEFINITELY DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE TO.)

*dreamy sigh* Dear Aunt Zara.

(THEN WE WILL! AFTER ALL, IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY.)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I'll bring Yorick over to visit.

(YAY! :D)

...My children are going to be in a sanitorium before they're sixteen. XD

(^_____________^)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, well, it's not my fault. :D I'm just the aunt.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, sure, try to put the blame somewhere else.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Just the aunt.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Riiiiight.
