which really won't change anytime soon, with the parents coming to visit on Monday, and then still gotta get pieces up and done for the Steampunk Day at the Brooklyn Indie Market while still doing all my custom pieces, AND a day job. . . . oy, I hate the day job right now.
I had volunteered to get The Iron Fairies up on faespace.com I don't know why. I'm not paid nor treated exceptionally well. Pity, because if I'd've had it done by today, I could have announced the 1 Year Anniversary party tonight.
And part of my brain goes instantly into guilt-mode saying I should stop blogging right now and go do this thing, just this quick, it wouldn't take long.

OK, there, I did it. *sighs* Sometimes I wish I wasn't so compelled to always be such a nice person. I look around and see some really selfish bitches, and think how easy it must be for them. But it's just not in my nature, and I suppose I should be thankful for that.

So, yes, busy. I'm still a mad addict to Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab with no sign of slowing down. My collection of imps is growing. I'm going to the post office just as often for Imp swaps as I do to mail Magic Vial Necklaces. The fact they have a whole discussion board devoted to non-perfume uses for their oils just fuels the fire. I've made a solid perfume with cocoa butter and soy wax out of *Lightning* and have then used that to rub into my wooden hairsticks to scent my hair with. I made a soap out of *Kubla Khan* and have diluted *Kitsune Tzuki* into a spritzer (with jojoba oil and vodka). I've got an order of 6 1 ml rollerballs on the way for easier use, and am chomping at the bit, wanting to buy *Fairy Market* from the Neil Gaiman Stardust line. I have an imp of it, and it's an AMAZING scent!
It wouldn't be so tempting to spend my paypal money if I hadn't had my bank account at WaMu. So it's been accumulating in paypal, instead of getting downloaded into my account and used for utilities and food. I don't know when I'll have the time, but I've GOT to get a new bank. *sighs*
