another_experiment Happiness okay, i know the calendar thing went totally bust (maybe something a little too ambitious for me right at the moment), but i've got another idea. and of course it's totally selfish on my part. okay the deal is i've just bought about (i think) ten packages of those fake tattoos and all of them have the canadian flag on them in various forms. what i'd like to do (and see) is to mail these out to anyone who wants them (they are light and inexpensive to mail), have those people apply said fake tattoos and then, here's the really tricky part, have them take a picture showing off that fake canadian tattoo by posting the picture to the rehtalb album. i've already got quite a few of you on the list that i'll be shipping these out shortly. any others will have to e-mail me with contact details, that is if there is any interest after my last little fiasco. From Doar 050626 ... Doar and just think you'll be able to proudly call yourself canadian if only for a few days until these things wear off. . 050626 ... realistic optimist i hope you're sending one to me! in related news, i resent 9_11_2_2004 so don't let the postmaster send it back this time!! 050627 ... anne-girl ooh, ooh, you should send me one! i'm even canadian 050627 ... palm Save one for motion notion. I'll apply it to me there and you can take the picture. 050627 ... Doar RO: Thank you so much for your patience with me. Of course I'm going to ship you one, but your going to have to re-email me your addy as the cold medication (yes i've got a summer cold, bloody hell!!!) is causing serious brain clouds and i can't seem to find your address again. 050628 ... Doar anne-girl: you need to ship me an e-mail with your mailing address, in order to get one of these extra special packages. Palm: Will do. Have you gotten your tickets already? And Pete's ticket? 050628 ... Doar nevermind palm. . 050628 ... jane sweet. i'm in, doar. 050628 ... Doar WOOOOHOOOOO!!! i was hoping jane would join (but no posting to the rehtalb site, just send me the pictures directly........j/k) :) 050628 ... stork daddy the nerdiness is strong in this blathe. sure i'll do it. 050628 ... Death of a Rose okay storkman and jane (no tarzan jokes from me), i'll need an e-mail with your address sent post haste.....hmmm... nerdiness.....hmmmm.... i don't even have a pocket protector! . 050628 ... Deathofarose anne-girl and RO's will be shipped today. storkman, still need your addy again. I'm afraid I lost it when i was transferring my e-mails in yahoo to gmail. jane, still need your addy as well. Ms. Walrus, same thing happened with your new addy. Thanks for participating. . 050629 ... stork daddy jamesmcotter@comcast.net 050629 ... Doar okay so far i've got RO's, anne-girl's (i think), mourninglight's and nomme's ready to ship. i also got like 10 more packages of these things, so i'll need more people to ship them out to. . 050629 ... jane you can just send two to him because we're at the same address 050630 ... Doar to storkman? i'd still need his mailing address again. 050703 ... anne-girl tattoos officially received w00t! picture time 050705 ... jane okay then i'll email you mine, yeah? which is your correct email address? 050705 ... Death of a Rose deathofarose@gmail.com is the current one, although medeathofarose@yahoo.ca still works. 050706 ... REAListic optimIST haven't gotten it yet. should i be worried? 050706 ... Doar only if customs finds the hidden packets of heroine i sewed into the lining of the t-shirt. and that's probably where it is at the moment, at customs. don't worry RO, i did send it, you will get it. take deep breaths. slowly breathe in the good, exhale quietly the bad. :) 050706 ... jane i sent it to your gmail account the anticipation is killing me! 050706 ... Doar don't worry jane. both yours and storky's will be sent this afternoon. and i was thinking that instead of just posting them to a rehtalb folder, maybe i could make some collages out of them and then post them. watcha all think? . 050706 ... jane why not both??? 050706 ... REAListic optimIST thanks for the mindset tip, petaler of thorns! remembering that i have control of my mindset is a diffficult task, indeed. i would like to retort with a slightly different mindset exercise: start by inhaling the co2 from the people, the o2 from the plants, the exhaust from the cars, and the heat from the sidewalk. just take in everything that your surroundings are sending out to where you're standing. as you inhale, concentrate on your unbearingly compassionate heart as it easily converts all of the energy you have taken in into the same harmoniously resonant love that you exhude as you exhale with a smile, feeling the unity within the radiating waves of calm and peace you extend back to the sidewalk, back to the cars, back to the plants, and back to the people. then frantically ask if it has gotten here yet. 050707 ... Doar good point jane. ro (is Roo that excitable kangaroo from winnie the poo?), you can't open your presents early, now go back to bed. (note to self: check to see if RO's med's are still being taken) :) . 050707 ... Doar well, jane's and storkman's have now been officially sent. And neesh i shipped you a canadian care package, similar to the one i shipped RO. take care everyone. 050707 ... LS Hey... Im still waiting... 050708 ... Doar okay LS, please read the advice i gave RO. it was sent, it will get there, give it some time, homeland security has it by now, blame them, not me, them. over and out. 050708 ... sab you know, there is one of these for real. its called Skin and some random chick has written a story and gets people to apply with why they want to participate and if she thinks your reason is good enough, she'll accept you and send you some forms to sign to say how she isnt responsible if you get leprosy from getting the tattoo and you sign them and post them back and she sends you a word and you have the right to refuse, but you cant re-apply and you get it tattooed and send her a photo and she sends you the whole story. only those people who get words tattooed are allowed the story. ive applied. but if i get in, i dont think i'll read the story. i'll frame the envelope it comes in or something, with the story still in it. if i dont read it, then ive got a word tattoed that could be part of any story, and therefor its part of every story, and thus i am part of every story. if i read it, then i am only part of one story. and anyways, what if it was crap? then i'd be part of a crap story. but anyway while she's getting back to me, count me in for this. 050708 ... Doar All I need is an e-mail with your mailing address then Sab. is honoured Sab is participating, even if she is in the midst of waiting for another project. 050709 ... REAListic optimIST *bounce* it arrived and it's AWESOME! I'll be sure to take some pictures and email them to you. i'm going to boise, idaho for a week, so if i don't get them taken today, it will be a week or so. i'm supapsyched though!! 050709 ... nomme) someone drove their car into my mailbox so my mail is all delayed waiting 050709 ... Death of a Rose whoopeeee!! can't wait for RO to take some pictures, especially showing off that maple leaf t-shirt. nomme: do you want me to reship you one? 050711 ... nomme) no, but thanks for the offer. it's probably at my post office waiting for me...i'll let you know if/when it shows up... still have to send you my new address) 050711 ... nomme) ok, got it, phew, yay, thanks 050711 ... Lemon_Soda I got mine! Yay!

Doar oh i guess i need individual consent to post pic's to the rehtalb album. if you'd rather i kept your picture(s) private then you'd better let me know when you e-mail me. over and out. 050715 ... p2 the pics are yours to use as you see fit unless you make money off of it in which case i will require a payment of 3 snake eye lids and 7 chicken lips (upper lips only) 050715 ... neesh no problems about the t-shirt, i'll give it to a friend or my sister. i haven't yet tried out the tattoos, but i don't yet have a camera either... 050716 ... anne-girl um i added stuffs to the rehtalb album *fidget, twitch* yay canada! there's one of my foot posing with blather doesn't that sound enticing? 050717 ... nomme) pictures from me soon... 050718 ...
