Fanny Fae

Just a note for those of you who write and interact with fannyfae, nomanselizabth sekhmet_mrytamn, and faery_ring; July is absolutely my busiest month of the year. This is the mun’s prep time for our Temple’s Annual Retreat. This means that I will be slow with reps, and during the first week of August ( 1-8), the responses may be very rare . This is not meant to be personal, this is just my schedule as it is. This year has been particularly hectic as I have several friends whom I have been helping who have lost a great deal, if not everything in the flood.

Things like clean up moral support for those in need takes a bit of time and effort to do. Getting ready and packing also takes time. I promise that no one is being ignored….just nudge me if you need to. I will understand and respond as quickly as I can; Promise! 🙂

One look at her and you could tell that she was different than the other girls in the village. There is an ethereal quality to the Old Ones, the Ones whose blood I have in my veins, that leaves an indelible imprint upon everything and everyone it touches. Of course, she would never have been mistaken for anything other than French by eyes who are not trained to see. But those of us who are of the Sidhe, we see our own blood, however a minuscule amount there is, in others. We can sense it in ways that cannot really be described. Trust then, that we simply know..

Perhaps it is the large eyes over fragile and impossibly high cheekbones that alerted me even at a distance as to who and what she was.

To all of you who (like me!) love(d) the band Heart during the 70’s and 80’s, there is a free download that is available over on Amazon.com. I will have to say that this is the BEST the Wilson sisters have sounded since their “Bebe Le Strange” release in 1980. I liked it well enough to want to buy the rest of the CD that it is on, “Jupiter’s Darling”. I like the lyrics, too. And the best part is that it is FREE!

“Make Me “ by Heart.

3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who’ve read only six and force books upon them.
