- New PMC pieces come from a deliberate & meditative workmind, w/ techniques that love the material instead of fighting it. Vast improvements! #
- @helio_girl Precious Metal Clay = sculptural silver medium. It tends to crack awkwardly when bullied. Needs patience & love to be beautiful. in reply to helio_girl #
- @helio_girl See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_clay. And here's a good example of interesting PMC texture: http://bit.ly/aSzlsG in reply to helio_girl #
- It's gloriously nice. A woman in a bowler hat is selling ginger ice cream on the park corner, a flock of puppies are gallumping in the snow. #
- Quoting Nick Eriksen, London political candidate: "Some women are like gongs – they need to be struck regularly." Rage. http://bit.ly/6UeR1M #
- @MajaMajaMaja If your friend's stalker already knows her home address & (I assume) legal name, I think the police are her best bet. in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
- @MajaMajaMaja That said, she should take all of her social networks as private as possible or disable them. And change ALL of her passwords. in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
- @MajaMajaMaja Does she have a blog? Host any websites? Is she on her company's online directory? in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
- Flogging Molly's playing in midtown tonight. I completely forgot to plan for it, but s'ok. I can store dancing energy away for later nights. #
- @melebeth And possibly chain yourself to the steps of some very impressive buildings? in reply to melebeth #

- Dear day: go faster. #
- At times I genuinely wish I could be less prickly. But then I think being prickly is what keeps my world the way I like it. Balance, always. #
- @nikolasco Come Sunday I will have taken 27 complete trips around the sun, yes. I have learned much about 27. A mathematically cool number. in reply to nikolasco #
- RT @maymaym: #Iowa House Reps introduce bill striking anti-harassment protection frm #GLBT #students! http://ur1.ca/my82 via @SchoolSurvival #
- You guys, I have the BEST birthday cake EVER, you guys! It is spice cake with caramel frosting and features an epic dinosaur / peep battle. #
- @urbantantrika @wendyblackheart @Jaspamaster Thank you, lovely people! in reply to urbantantrika #
- Reading Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance alwys makes me want to bugger off to a teeny liberal arts college to teach creative writing. #
- Spent several minutes staring at neon sign: Coffee Shop! The Burger At It's Best! Unfortunate error, or subtle joke on grammar prigs? #
- Hey @HiOhMegan – I think your account was hacked! I got a weird spam DM from you. #
- Went to Blue Smoke with Mom and co. Think I ate my weight in pulled pork, with a side of death by key lime pie. #

- Dear @GreyhoundBus Free wifi notwithstanding, I'll not forgive you for perpetrating not 1, but 2 travel nightmares upon me in a single week. #
- @MajaMajaMaja Hey! Shooting squirrels is hard! in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
- It's pretty damned amazing what change a single year can bring. #
- Rushing weekend, yet interspersed with comforting, lyrical moments: come lay your bones on the alabaster stones and be my ever-lovin' baby. #
- The snow today looks like something from a fairy tale; light, airy, thick as thieves. Worn out dancing slippers and trees of silver, gold. #
- @thattoychick I am SO glad someone else gets that reference! By far my favorite fairy tale. in reply to thattoychick #
- @nikolasco Hey thanks! @Jaspamaster took it ages ago. There's a whole set of me romping about the village in a silly leather jacket. in reply to nikolasco #
- @FrankAngones How about Dr. Who? I suppose it depends upon what you consider "successful." in reply to FrankAngones #
- There are too many good photos in this set. I can't make up my mind on which I like best for an icon. @Jaspamaster, your photos skills rock. #
- @MollyRen @Fetlife's a great place for #KFA advertising, but only hits a portion of the #KFA audience. Make it a part of a broader strategy. in reply to MollyRen #
- @MollyRen Sounds like you're on top of that concept – maybe post to the list asking for suggestions? Look at queer/trans/feminist DC spaces? in reply to MollyRen #

- Getting on a bus to Providence in 2 hours, and I keep compulsively checking the sky for snowfall. Here's hoping the bus outruns the storm. #
- Getting set up for #KFAPVD. 3 word intros are wrapped and we're launching 1st presentations in 6 minutes. I'm happy to be here. (4 words?) #
- I've decided to liveblog #KFAPVD on SaraEileen.com. Twitter is fun, but I'll catch more value without wordcounts. Zoinks and away! #
- @viviane212 Ooo! That's an idea. I'll check it out. in reply to viviane212 #
- @maymaym Hey, is there a better way for me to live blog today than using my personal blog? in reply to maymaym #
- @viviane212 Good idea. I'm going to sync with @maymaym, #KFAPVD tech guru. in reply to viviane212 #
- @thattoychick Working on it. Tell us if it gets better. in reply to thattoychick #
- @thattoychick You rock. I love that you can hear us. in reply to thattoychick #
- @thattoychick I claim NO responsibility for the tech or orgniztion of @KFAPVD. The credit belongs to @maymaym, @helio_girl & @pledgemistress in reply to thattoychick #
- @writingdirty Approximate attendees so far: about 30? Maybe more? #KFAPVD in reply to writingdirty #
- @thattoychick Sex Toy Organization is going on right now in 1 of the rooms w/out live stream. I'll catch the end & do some updates. #KFAPVD in reply to thattoychick #
- @thattoychick I didn't catch most of it, but a few notes are up: http://saraeileen.com/blog/2010/02/live-blog-kinkforall-providence-kfapvd/ in reply to thattoychick #
- Looks like the best way to liveblog #KFAPVD for the moment is to stay on SaraEileen.com. Short notes here, long notes there. Ha-fing-zah. #
- I caught / captured as much as I could of @zacmakes talk, but there were too many good moments. I would like art nouveau toys, pls. #KFAPVD #
- Mr. M on scene events: "You know that thing I'm into that I'm ashamed of? Here, EVERYONE is into that thing!" #KFAPVD #
- Fair warning: I have almost no notes and almost no idea what I'm going to talk about for my #KFAPVD presentation in 20 minutes. #
- @maymaym & @helio_girl wear the same outfits to evry @KinkForAll. Interesting creation of persona in space. I dressed carefully too. #KFAPVD #
- #KFAPVD is the 5th @KinkForAll since the event started, almost exactly 11 months ago. Stunning and amazing community mobilization. #
- "There is no special morality 4 sex. Only the concepts of evryday morality apply: Honesty, courage, common humanity, consideration." #KFAPVD #
- Still shaking from my talk. Adrenaline + cold + audience. Thanks for the tweets, ya'll. #KFAPVD Now off to gender discussion with Liam. #
- Liam quotes @katebornstein: Shouldn't be about making yourself a woman or a man, but making yourself comfortable in your own body. #KFAPVD #
- @sarahdopp It's tricky…it may be easier, but it's not necessarily better, or right. Nor is it a choice that's available to all! #KFAPVD in reply to sarahdopp #
- @calamusroot Aw! Sorry you missed it live, but it was recorded, so it'll be posted later. in reply to calamusroot #
- @sarahdopp Hi! in reply to sarahdopp #

- @helio_girl Your frat is "special." #KFAPVD in reply to helio_girl #
- Fading fast, so I'm stepping away from #KFAPVD for a food break. Half of me wants multi-day KFAs. The other half laughs at my foolishness. #
- @helio_girl StarGate movie is super-kinky. Core of the story is a race of aliens that use mind control to find and keep host bodies. #KFAPVD in reply to helio_girl #
- Closing comms & #KFAPVD is wrapped. My complete liveblog is here: http://bit.ly/9ak5cd #
- Stuck on a bus running 2 hours behind schedule w/ no way to meet deadlines, yet covered. I feel as though I've mobilized an army from afar. #
- @viviane212 Hurray! in reply to viviane212 #
- Fav. quote #KFAPVD: For working on improvisation, one needs bloody competence. It is not goodwill which will save the work…it is mastery. #
- @writingdirty 13 days until mine. I'll be officially in my late 20s. By hook or by crook, I intend to make this is a positive thing. Meep? in reply to writingdirty #
- @ConversioVirium is now a participating group of The Floating World 2010! That means early bird pricing RIGHT NOW, lovely CV peeps. Huzzah! #
- @ProblmLikeMaria @Dystopienne @MajaMajaMaja You all apparently know something I do not. WHY would one wash one's hair with beer, again? in reply to ProblmLikeMaria #
- @MajaMajaMaja @ProblmLikeMaria I am warily convinced. I will try this tonight and report back. Does it matter what kind of beer it is? in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
- @ProblmLikeMaria Do you have to soak with lemon juice to lighten your hair, or is that something that works over multiple applications? in reply to ProblmLikeMaria #
- @MajaMajaMaja The only beer we have at the moment is cherrywheat ale. Smells rather nice. But @Celany might scold me for wasting it on hair. in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
- @MajaMajaMaja All I can think of is Seton yelling "We're geniuses!" in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
- @MajaMajaMaja And a bear… in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
- Note to self: You do not need to spend $138 on boots. Even if they are glorious & sexy steampunk-style brown leather boots with brass studs. #
- @MajaMajaMaja No link, sadly. They're in a shop by my office. I walk by them every day when I go to lunch – finally caved and tried them on. in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
- @barrysaunders Oy-ya, really? I saw that ad on Hulu last night and had to walk away, I was so enraged. Don't encourage them. in reply to barrysaunders #
- Thus far, Snowpocalypse 2.0 has been surprisingly unsnowtacular. #
- @melebeth Act'ly, as if in answer to my cranky tweet, the skies have opened. Big fat snowflakes & snowman-destroying schoolchildren abound. in reply to melebeth #
- @ProblmLikeMaria Hugs! Love! For decorating, take the time to paint. Bright colors change the whole world around you. Do you need art? in reply to ProblmLikeMaria #
- @ProblmLikeMaria Send me your address and some links to types of art that you like? in reply to ProblmLikeMaria #
- RT @zacmakes Anyone in PVD free Friday 2-5 to help load into #FFF? Or know anyone? It's mostly just watching stuff – payment a possibility. #
- RT @alleyinsider Google Buzz's Huge Privacy Flaw http://bit.ly/bLPnrS (I turned it off. Too many ppl w/ protected identities on my lists.) #
- @writingdirty Does being "responsable" involve lounging about on a bed of expensive furs? in reply to writingdirty #

- Bad: Internet troll hell. Monday slam. Dentist. Good: Exciting delivery of mysterious brown box. Great: @MajaMajaMaja + Co. Seriously great. #
- Last mnth Managed Dental Guard denied my insurance claim to have wisdom teeth removed. Now one hurts–but they say that doesn't matter. Rage! #
- So it's my birthday in 3 weeks? I sorta forgot. Maybe I should have a party? Also, where the HELL did that year go, and why am I almost 27? #
- Should read The Princess Bride again. Also light candles, drink wine, & take a bath. After, y'know, I knock down 3 days of work in 10 hours. #
- Hey NYC peeps! Temp data research job starting immediately: $50/day cash, 9am-5pm, at least 2 days, up to 2 wks. Message me if you're game. #
- Irony is getting a nosebleed and then, in an effort to get a tissue from the kitchen, cutting my toe WIDE open. Blood is everywhere. Fucker. #
- @katebornstein I redo hurtful convos to end differently, siphoning off bitterness & vulnerability. No festering. Keeps me happy. #talk2self in reply to katebornstein #
- Dear and lovely #KFAPVD peeps: I have no idea what I should speak on this weekend. Might any of you have requests or suggestions? #
- @writingdirty Hrmmm…what about them? in reply to writingdirty #
- @MajaMajaMaja Why, you pull them out of hats, of course! in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
- @writingdirty Think if I taught that, it would turn into a "why knives are great tools & why great tools are sexy" thing. Still interesting? in reply to writingdirty #
- @MajaMajaMaja My entire presentation: "Sorry, somtmes ppl are assholes. Resistance is futile. For future ref, pls see: http://xkcd.com/386/" in reply to MajaMajaMaja #

- When faced with the challenge of explaining why this day was so ridiculously, murderously hard, I find myself completely inarticulate. Feh! #
- Finally watched the end on Dr. Who. Very cranky. #
- @helio_girl Awww…I really can't answer that. But I'll send you the episodes! in reply to helio_girl #
- Reading over old blog posts, I realize I never wrote last spring's breakup down on paper. Too soon. Now I wonder if I should. Too late? #
- @egoetschius The end of the Season 4 Specials…the end of everything that's been released so far, basically. in reply to egoetschius #
- The Highwaymen keep me company on the cab ride home. Hello late nights again. Feels good; I think I've hit a solid stride for work/life. #
- @Jaspamaster Happy birthday! in reply to Jaspamaster #
- @helio_girl Sure, lady. Files are too big to email, but shoot me your mailing address and I'll send you all the Dr. Who your heart desires. in reply to helio_girl #
- Hey NYC jobseekers! My cmpny's hiring a receptionist/account coordinator. Decent gig, nice place, great people, interesting industry. DM me. #
- @melebeth Um…I'm sorry? in reply to melebeth #
- Alwys thought Rainbow Brite & friends were fat, unfeminine & dumpy, but Hallmark now has it covered! http://bit.ly/dvdHV5 (v. @thepete) Bah! #
- @FrankAngones Clearly Hallmark feels that more little girls should follow Ziggy's example of peace, love, promiscuity and massive drug use. in reply to FrankAngones #
- Exercises in self-awareness: Yes, I am overstressed. Yes, I need to work less, delegate more and sleep longer. All right. Now execute, Sara. #

- @katebornstein Smell & taste're my best senses to jog memory: eating a childhood comfort food, visiting the ocean, burning a scented candle. in reply to katebornstein #
- @mrsexsmith Re: masculinity outside the USA, I recommend @barrysaunders. He can speak to an Oz perspective. I think you'd like one another. in reply to mrsexsmith #
- I suddenly feel a distinct urge to re-read the entire Rowan series. Sexy telekinesis whoops dragons any day of the week. #
- Finally reading Anais Nin, because I lost my collection of Fitzgerald short stories. I'd hoped I'd grown out of losing precious things. #
- I would like to not be sick now, please. It makes my nose the wrong shape. #
- Coworker & I discuss when we like to end the workday. He leaves when his work is done. I leave when the quality of my work starts suffering. #
- @barrysaunders WHAT did you DO to your HAIR!? #
- @barrysaunders I am deeply displeased with this situation. in reply to barrysaunders #

- @writingdirty Also, I'll be at #KFAPDV – but I'm headed north on Friday night, returning Sunday. in reply to writingdirty #
- @writingdirty Shiny. I'm personally more interested in the intellectual/cultural mashup of #KFA, but I see where you'r'goin. Keep me posted? in reply to writingdirty #

- @romanticrope @MajaMajaMaja @zacmakes So would I. We could install birdcages. in reply to romanticrope #
- Wow. Haiti. Wow. #
- @writingdirty What?! Martin and Dora are adorable together. Martin and Faye would be an emotional clusterfuck. (Also, you're a dork.) in reply to writingdirty #
- @writingdirty I like watching Dora grow up. Faye's a lovable oddball – she needs someone weird & quirky. And Martin's just this guy, y'know? in reply to writingdirty #

- Following the idea that big change cascades from many smaller changes, my 2010 resolution is to set my alarm clock earlier in the mornings. #
- @writingdirty It worked this morning. I had both time and (miraculously) energy to go to the gym before work. Shocking, what what? in reply to writingdirty #
- Most popular words in my tweets over the past year: time, office, home, coffee, people, blog, thanks, happy, life, feel and love. Very nice. #
- It's interesting that emotional issues have legacy far past their useful lifespans. Things are different now, Sara. Don't be a fuckwit. #
- @writingdirty @misscalico Ditto. I RSVPed and will be there if I can leave work in time to make doors. Free Bladerunner FTW! in reply to writingdirty #
- Should I stay up late at work getting ahead on the projects I need to spend time on, or stay up late out at a free screening of Bladerunner? #

- Pyrate & Bear on my life, in a nutshell: "You seem happier – lots happier. We like @zacmakes. But we think you might explode. Work less, k?" #
- On the bus and NYC bound. A most satisfying and joyful vacation. Feels like school breaks of old; I haven't done my homework. #

- Off to see the Wizard. Also, a play about lesbians. #
- Also a play about hate crime. Hard. #
- @ProblmLikeMaria Please say you are coming to NYC for hugs and kisses and cookies before you head West? in reply to ProblmLikeMaria #
