Just a little note folks...generally, if you see a website that says "International Pen Pals", steer right clear. They all lie. I signed up on two "pen pal" sites and promptly un-signed...they're just fronts for dating sites. CREEPY dating sites. Full of creepy people. *sigh*
I've been pining 'cause![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
moonphasedwas my awesome Japanese pen pal buddy and I was sending her things & she was sending me doujinshii and Okami plushies an omamori and it was all friendly and safe and NORMAL...and then she moved. And now I have messages in my in-box from a guy named Ahmed and he is looking for somethin' I ain't giving... *sob sob* :-( golden_meliades found a pen pal...why can't I? Woe.
I used such a plain, simple picture of myself, too (you have to)...it was one of those pics I have shared with you guys of myself...no make up, no glamour, just a simple boring pic of my 42-year-old mug. You'd think I put up a naked picture or something... And in my profile I went on about being married & having a kid and...I don't know. I guess no one reads the profiles. Arrgh! *snarl* I must be the most naive kind of fool.
Well, live and learn, kids. Live. And. Learn.
Meanwhile, in safer intarweb waters I float warm and secure in my "Etsytastic-ness". Busy busy weekend. I mailed a double armload of boxes yesterday. Then, I came home to find two more orders, which I immediately boxed & sent. Why? Because, apparently, slow snowy armageddon is supposed to assault us throughout the day, today. It's snowing ever so gently now...nothing devastating yet. There are a few inches on the ground already. Thing is, it's supposed to keep snowing all day and all night and into Wednesday and the local forecast is calling for somewhere between 8 inches and a foot of snow. A! Foot! That's...a lot of shoveling. Speaking of which, I better get out there & clear a path for my Mom (she seems to come over two or three times a day...I wish she'd stay inside when the weather's this bad, though).
Meanwhile, look at my latest dragon mask.
Green and copper...it's been a popular combination for me in the past. It's up on, you guessed it; my Etsy site.
Anyhoo, I'm going to go shovel a bit. I like to listen to the "Katamari Damacy" ost while I shovel...I don't know why. It's so goofy and perky...the perfect shoveling music.
