Postity post post postins
Posted Nov 20, 2004
Well, I'm on a letter-writing blitz. I've used up an entire bloque in sending two letters and have almost used up a second one on my third. I love to write, and I love mail. Combine those two things, and what do you get? Euphoria. The people at the post think I'm mad for sending out a million boxes of plants already, then add letters the size of research papers to foreign countries and they think I've completely lost it. I patronize three post offices within reasonable distance so that people don't start asking questions. Twenty pages of blue writing from me is like...the beginning of the end. If I start sending you mail, you will NEVER EVER stop getting mail. You can run, you can change addresses, you can get restraining orders, but my letters will find a way to your door. I have supernatural post-sending powers. If I ever become a godlette, I will become Godlette of the Post. Hey, this is like a post about like the post! Teehee! Anyway, back to my carbonated beverage and hallucinagens...

So Tacysa, how's it hanging? (A take from darakat.)
Posted Nov 12, 2004
I was asked, so I can appropriately do another post after two days. Life is good, but relatively boring. Hey, I lead an interesting life, so I'm bathing in this boringness. Things I have done or am going to do soon:
1. Clean my guinea pig cage and give him a bath...again.
2. Go into town to get some wee pots for my minis.
3. Go to the bank and transfer some money to my checking account if I can't do it online right now. Note: It wouldn't let me access the account.
4. Gas up my car.
5. Go to a college visitation this weekend.
6. Skip half of the visitation in order to go to the orchid show.
7. Hopefully buy a Dend. unicum that I've been lusting after for quite awhile. I have a short list, so I don't *think* I'm in danger of spending a lot of money. Note: I THINK.
8. Finish a forty page letter and pack up a package to send out Monday.
9. Talk to my father who is back for the weekend and lounge around a bit in my pajamas.
10. Mount my new Dend. loddigessi that I got in a trade. First, I really need to find something to mount the bugger on, but that will come later...
11. Start thinking of creative, yet acceptable gifts for everyone. Yeah, no rubber chickens this year. My mother says that I'm too old to give rubber chickens any more, but I really never know what to get people. I'll be going into town, so I'll go ahead and check around.
I really need to start looking for a job to keep my mother from nagging me about spending all of my savings, so I'll probably do that next week. *shrugs* Whatever, it's not that important to me. So, I'm going to go finish listening to my Gershwin CD and be on my way.

Only three more weeks...
Posted Nov 9, 2004
Only three more weeks (about, I don't really know, actually) of school left in this semester. Don't ask me about my grades. I'm making an A or a B, so be happy. Haven't spent much time doing social things, but I've really enjoyed being a bum this semester what with four classes. Next semester, I'm going to have five. Calculus, Biology II, Comp II, and a mandatory health. I'll have to take something else, so I'll probably take something required to graduate like speech or American government. Excited yet? I know I am. I am doing college visitations this weekend and next weekend. This weekend it's going to be Southern Poly. The only reason I'm willingly going to this visitation is because there is a HUGE orchid show in the same city (Atlanta) that day. That means that I will probably go and spend insane amounts of money on plants. I have agreed to limit myself to $50. I am a poor college student who will be living away from home next year, so I have to limit myself to small plants that I can rebloom. This makes sense, and my mother will be there to limit my purchases, anyhow. *sighs* I want an infinitely deep orchid account.

Yet another witless post.
Posted Nov 2, 2004
It is approaching 8:30PM and I am bored to death. By the end of this week, I am hoping to have only eight or nine orchids left. I've mailed off over ten plants in the past two weeks. Why am I sending off these creatures I dearly love, you may wonder? Well, the ones I've sent off have been NOIDs that I've got multiples of. What's the point of keeping fourteen of the same plant when you're not obsessed with the flowers? Not much. I kept two because I like things that bloom a lot and that have simple structure. I also have a recovering bulbo, two identified dend. phals., two species dends., an identified stereochilus, a new dend. phal. keiki, and two intergenerics I dearly want to get rid of. I love how these intergenerics look in every single way, but they don't do anything under my care. They don't die, they just don't grow or flower. I have limited space as it is, and I will have even less next year when I switch unis so I don't have space to waste on plants that refuse to cooperate. I bought them on a whim, and I don't need them. I'm hoping that I can get something interesting in trade for them. Why am I trading them all off now? Because I have to keep them inside during the winter and it's a pain. They make a mess and I can't water them very often (and I love to water). When I water, I have to truck plants to the bathroom, turn the shower on for fifteen minutes, dump about two gallons of fertilizer on the collective mass, wait for them to drain, drag them back to the guest room, and set them up again. I've never had less than thirty orchids inside during the winter, so it will be interesting having under ten this year. I've got three mounties and one is not watered during the winter except very sparingly (once every month or so), so that one is a breeze. I am getting a full-size Cycnodes Wine Delight 'JEM' that I'm very, very, very excited about. It's a gorgeous plant and someone offered to pick one up at their show for me for a price I couldn't resist. The plants normally cost anywhere from $35-40 without shipping, and this dear individual picked one up for me at $25 and I sent an extra $5 for shipping. $30 for a plant that would easily be $10 more. I couldn't lose an opportunity like that. So, I should get this baby tomorrow or Wednesday if he sent it out today. The plants that I did ship off last week, I've only had one person notify me about recieving. This sort of pisses me off. You know, I spend $5 on postage, send the person a free plant, pot, and medium and don't get a 'hey, thanks, I got your plant alright' in return. Surely that's not too much to ask, is it? Anyway, enough from me.
