pd's_special_sparkles pipedream okay, this here is a great big jar, and its got aaaall kinds of sparkles in it. *shakes the jar* some of these have wings. some shine in the rain, and some glitter in the sunshine. these ones glimmer in the dark, like fireflies, and these ones flutter against your ribs when something unbelievably sweet is happening to you. sparkles, sparkles, sparkles to share, come add your jars to the sparkle shelves just in case someone needs them today. 031017 ... neesh :) adds a jar [] (= my jar) 031017 ... pipedream oooh, those are pretty...tell me about them, what about those yellow ones, with the pink and green swirlies on them? where did they come from? like these pale blue ones of mine here, with the yellow smilies, those are the sparkles my nephew brings with him :) 031017 ... neesh the yellow ones radiate like the sun, they're for sincere philanthropists, they shine through their eyes and their words and their souls. and i thought they'd be prettier with pink and green swirlies, a mix of the love they give and receive, and the healing powers of spring and youth they offer. mmmm, feeling slightly pale blue, do you mind if i borrow some of your nephew's smily sparkles? i've also got some deep blue sparkles, which glitter off tears and baleful eyes, but they should only be used to temper ecstatic highs, to remind you of the real world when you think it's a dream. i'll keep those locked away for now. 031017 ... neesh after a long day (lol, hmmm, baleful should be doleful, slight difference) 031017 ... cupcake ooh! i don't have a jar for them yet but i have pink sparklies for when you feel cute and i have blue sparklies for when you want ot just lay back and watch clouds turn into different things and i have orange and yellow sparklies for when you are proud of yourslef like doing good on a test and i'm starting to collect orange and black sparklies because halloween is coming!!! 031017 ... oldephebe well frankly, because of my penchant for turgidity and faux didactic ..i want to say drivel but that would be just too self-deprecatory..umm anyway i never try to force anything from myself so i'll just say register my total agreement with every one here.. you so shimmer and glitter..irrevocably so..(irrevocably so?..that was odd..) ... 031017 ... oldephebe hmm it strikes me that i may have missed the point of this page..ah i guess i don't have that jar of ah sparkles ..too male and decrepid..but i do see these florid swathes of color and shapes (internally i don't have synesthesian or anything..and no pejorative inferments or subtle stigmatism need adhere to my comments..in some cases synesthesia is a blessing..a perceptual advantage to the artist or intuitive..)okay so sometimes internally these florid swathes will accompany my emotional states..especially when i'm composing music or out on one of my premonitorys.. ... 031017 ... relentless inner critic synesthesia! Dammit! 031017 ... pipedream yeah, sure you can have some nephew sparkles *ladles out some* 'phebes m'dear...be quiet :) *surveys the shelves* not bad, we're comin' along nicely here, cupcake's orange and black sparkles look mighty cute in that little pumpkin-shaped orange bottle.. *plonks down 'phebes' jar* y'see, you can never hit this page without leaving some of yourself behind, hence- *shakes the jar*- synesthesise away ;) i've added some maroon-black sparkles for days when you're blue; they won't shine and be pretty but will only remind you of all the other really vibrant sparkles that lie beyond the blueness. the hope sparkles don't shimmer, they survive. 031019 ... oldephebe heh heh .. people have been telling me that all my life..especially those closest to me .. heh heh .. i am the mouth that runneth perpetually .. hope you're feeling better pd ... 031019 ... oldephebe "the hope sparkles don't shimmer they survive" well said ... 031019 ... pipedream thank you, duckie :o) *curtseys to 'phebes* and i guess i *am* feeling better. i could never be sad for long, and although i still feel a little extinguished in a few corners i know i'll be fine. i spent the weekend feeding my soul; it feels muuuuuch better now. thank you for asking :) 031020 ... pipedream *puts r.o's kangaroo pouch on the 'exotic' shelf* 031021 ... Death of a Rose I don't have a jar or bottle, but I do have a treasure chest to share. silver sparkles, I give to thee, twice as bright they'll always be, shape shifting sparklies are another gift, heloing and spinning into the rift 031021 ... pipedream *is enchanted* 031021 ... Dafremen heart sparkles sprinkled in your hair soul sparkles sprinkled everywhere love sparkles sprinkled to and fro sparkles sprinkle sprinkly warming glow sparkles just for you sparkles through and through sparkling they might be you sparkle more pipedream 031021 ... pipedream *sniff* that was so pretty... *scrabbles around in her bag for a tissue* that's probably one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me.. *gets tongue-tied as she always does when deeply moved* 031022 ... pipedream today i will search for pixie dust. if i believe enough i think i will. 031022 ... neesh what a page for smiles. thankyou for your nephew's sparkles, they've certainly helped me feel cheery these past few days, but now i think i'd like some hope sparkles, if you've some to spare. things are weighing me down and i'm rather wanting for a bit of hope. and by the way, i heard a powerful faerie was collecting pixie dust, maybe look to him? sends his love to pd 031023 ... pobodys nerfect *hands pipedream a snowman-shaped jar filled with snowflake-shaped sparkles that's labelled "first snowfall"* These ones give you that magical feeling you get from the first snowfall of the year. (note: negative people need these the most,but they'll also be the first to try and break the jar,so keep it in a safe place. Oh,and don't give them more than the recommended dose,that'll make things worse!) Also good for people who are sad & want something to smile about. =) And for those who've had too much snow, I brought another jar. *hands you a funky shaped jar with metallic green sparkles* It's "hint of spring"--no way to overdose on this *grin* but some will really need my other jar around December,or September if they have a snowman collection... *blushes deeply* 031023 ... Dafremen I have a pixie dust around the place once a week. Her fees are quite reasonable and the place is always springtime fresh and magically clean. Such domestic sorcery! 031023 ... pipedream wow, pobody....wow...*touches the beautiful jars lightly, reverently* these go on the extremely precious shelf... *rendered speechless* 031024 ... pipedream lol daf you silly moo *smiles afectionately* *sprinkes some hope sparkles in neesh's hair* here you go, the jar is over there if you need any more, help yourself....plenty of those to go around :) 031024 ... misstree okay, here's some samples of the premiums i've got on me own shelves... they grow back, so as long as you don't abuse them, you're good to go... *sets down a jar full of bright silvery sparkles that dart about in your vision.* these are eyegleams, though they sometimes show up in special kinds of grins. be careful with them... *opens jar and carefully dips a finger in. when extracted, on the tip of her finger is what appears to be an itty bitty shiruken* these can hurt people, or they can just slice right into them. try to avoid using them for evil, or else they go bad and smell funny. *grins and sets down another jar, with what look like amorphous shimmering cotton balls* this is joyous laughter. again, this stuff can be pretty intoxicating, so be careful. *reaches in and takes a small shimmerpuff out, and dusts it across the bridge of her nose. immediately she cracks a helpless grin, then looks at a point a little above everyone's head, and starts laughing joyously and bouncing and clapping her hands. after a minute, she devolves into small private "whee"s and a crooked grin.* yeah. good stuff. and finally... really these shouldn't be used except in emergency cases... *sets down a smaller jar full of scarlet sparkles that swirl almost like a thick liquid* these are points of passion. they eat into and infect whatever they touch, and they make your heart feel like it's going to burst, and they make you crazy. won't demonstrate these, if you don't mind, i spilled some on myself not too long ago and i'm still recovering. but if you need them, they also tell you loud and strong that you are Alive. and if you do use them, please please please darlin', don't let yourself get addicted to them, because they can and will break just about anyone who does. like i said, all three of these grow back if you let them, so just don't use them all at once and burn out the source and you should be able to keep going for a while. you can split them off into new jars for other people, too, if you just keep blending some of their Personal Special Sparkle with a little sample, and let it leave a residue in the jar, and then do it again once it's faded. there'll eventually be enough in the jar that the sparkles produce more than they fade. these here are done from treeculture, but they work just the same. enjoy. ;) 031025 ... pipedream this sparklearium just keeps getting better and better...*inspects the jars carefully* wow, this is mighty potent stuff...and yes, mixing with personal/individual sparkles will be necessary...can't have lots of rampaging misstree wannabe clones runnin' about, now can we...*grins* i've got some new sparkles for the shelf....grandparent sparkles. my grandmother is living with us for a few days, and she's interesting to be around with...and i saw my grandpa today who i love to endless bits, my favourite man. he's perfect. my gran's sleeping in front of me, and i just feel grandparent snuggly right now, so grandparent sparkles comin' up....lemon-yellow and lilac, in a bottle that carries a faint scent of roses (from memories and years gone past) and feels like soft wrinkly beloved skin. 031026 ... pipedream *tries out some of the laughter puffs* haven't laughed like that in a while now 031026 ... oldephebe i just called to say.."hey" pd 031026 ... pipedream hello, 'phebes, haven't heard from you in a while now :)) how you been? how's the little one? 031027 ... oldephebe he's good..thankyou..sometimes i need to just clam up and enjoy the beautiful soul streams here in blather..your optimism, your effervesence, your ebbulience is challenging my dour, dark cast of spirit these days..i just come to this page and read the shimmering lines and smile..so even though i might not say anything..i'm just silently drinking in the warmth on this page..later.. ... 031027 ... pipedream ooooo, lurvely! just as long as we know you're about and at 'em, its all good...and yeah, i know what you mean..sometimes its enough just to feed your soul and not say anything..don't be darkly broody either...i hope something magic happens to you today, keep your eyes peeled! *blows some hope sparkles your way* say hi to the little one for me :) 031027 ... pipedream i'm thinking of commemorative sparkles for my blather posse's birthdays. eggplant-purple sparkles with little milkshake straws on top for celestias, for example. or rose-shaped scratch-and-sniff ones for DOAR (kind've done those, though) in lots of different colours; yellow swirly-shaped ones with tiny alphabets for 'phebes, because that way he will always remain (circles go on forever), and so will his wonderful way with words. and be happy, most of all; i will meld some hope sparkle element into them. something like that, y'know? i like the idea :) 031030 ... blah-ze i have sparkles. little slivers of obsidian in a vial. someone brought them back from somewhere overseas ages ago. you can have 'em too, to add to your collection. i look at them through the vial with one eyes closed, and it looks like fuzzy little rainbows. 031030 ... User24 I've got a lump of quartz that looks like it's full of suspended, almost invisible, glinting sparkles. puts it on a shelf in here for all to admire. 031030 ... Death of a Rose scratch and sniff door sparklies.....hmmm...better not go there. And i was routing around in the closet and I found some ink black sparklies, these are saved for shaping kind words and pick me up verbosity (oE) on white pages of blatherdom. And I was going to give you them as I don't think I would have a use for them. So here you go pvcpillow. 031030 ... pipedream isn't it magic the way rocks- hard sharp generally not-so-favourably-considered rocks- can be so pretty? *turns the obsidian jar over in her hands* yup, it DOES look like little rainbows are trapped in there *refracts light onto the quartz stone and makes a little light show happen* *hums music in time to the show* lol ink-black sparklies, ooooooh *dips a finger in them* i think this jar should be put somewhere where everyone can get at it, kind words and pick-me-ups are universal necessities. thankyew, chillun! *grins and skips off to put the jar in a prominent, busy sparklearium area* 031030 what's it to you? who go blather from
