Tawnie St. Croix

Baby! I love babies! I am so ridiculously happy for Marti and Spence and THE BABY!

And when I crashed I crashed. Fuck, I don't think I moved between the time I feel into bed an when I woke up. Meh. Anyway. I've got to drop in on Marti at some point tonight and wish her happy birthday. I found this great triple crescent moon pendant in white gold and set with a small crystal I thought she'd like. I also picked up a few crystals, some essential oils and incense. I did not wrap the bath stuff, nursing night gown, robe and fuzzy slippers in the same paper however, because those are my contribution to the impending birth survival kit and she'd have received them birthday or not. I also figure I'll wait a day or two to drop those by so there is no confusion. JUST IN CASE.

I have been very antsy lately, and I have no idea why. This morning for example, I am so full of energy and twitchy. I'd love to go for a run, but that'll have to wait until I finish my report on tonight. BLAH. All in all this night was not nearly as busy as I'd have preferred. We had a couple skirmishes here and there, a couple baby-vamps who needed a little lesson about staying dead, but just not enough to really exhaust me. Not typically that should probably be considered a good thing, but this morning I'm just DYING to do something.

It's a beautiful day out. 79 degrees and sunny. I couldn't resist going out for a run. I've got to tone it down when there are other runners out, but I don't mind. There's also been a couple of nice wooded paths that haven't been too busy.

*pauses at a bench to stretch, casually watching the other people that are around*

I'm feeling feisty tonight, can we make it a good one? *wiggles* Hurry up sunset, I want to play with the vampires. Gah.

*wincing as Tika bats her with a paw, reaching out disoriented and pulling the blankets up over her head*

>.<

Never... drinking... again... oh goddess my head.

I have dust in my cleavage and it itches. Vampires make the cleanup easy, most nights that's cool, but between working up a sweat and wind ensuring that the dust went all over I've developed a dusty finish. Ew. I cannot wait to shower, just have to finish these reports. *making a face*

*tracking a scent into an alley. Sees a vamp fang-deep in the neck of some passed out young undergrad*

*dusts him before he even notices she's there* Gotcha sucker. Score one for the good guys. *kneeling down next to the still form on the ground* Now to see about you chickie. *checking her for a pulse, letting out a sigh of relief when she feels it, not strong but still steady* That's a good girl. *holding pressure to her neck-wound with one hand and pulling out her cell-phone with the other, calling in for an emergency pick-up*

*curled up on the couch, munching on a peep* Oh Easter, you do bring tasty little treats, therefor you are my friend. I have no idea why I like these things, some sort of left-over conditioning from childhood perhaps. But Easter comes and peeps go in my belly. Mmmm....

*sighs* I can't sleep. I hate that. Up all night and just can't make my head shut down. *grumbles* I've been thinking about Aidan and what happened over the moon. Marti and I have been talking, and we're both glad that Aidan is taking it as well as can be expected, especially given that Lys is such a wreck. I know how creeped out I was after I first turned and before I knew to lock myself up. I can't say it's something I'm proud of, you know? But it was instinct. That's what She does, it's what the Wolf does. I think the more you accept what you are and embrace the instinct the easier it is to accept what is part of our nature. We were all human once, and we overlay our humanity onto this new existence, hell, if not for that Noah and I wouldn't be together at all. But we're not human, and it is in our nature to Hunt and Feed. We don't have to give in to that, but we can't expect that if given the chance that we won't do what is in our instinct to do. *sighs* It makes my heart break a little for both Aidan and Lys. I can understand why it's something she has a hard time getting her mind around, and at the same time it'll be all that much harder for Aidan to accept with his Mate so conflicted over it. I'm just glad Noah never held it against me. There's so much about my past that I'm not proud of, but he's never seemed to mind. So yeah, poor Aidan and Lys. Between Aidan's snacking and the Djinn's manipulation it seems to have been too much for her. Maybe... maybe I just can't understand what it's like. I know everyone who has been fucked about with by the Djinn has had a hard time with it. I shudder every time I think about what Elizabeth went through, Goddess, what a nightmare. Or Aidan, Marti, Elaine, and Ciar, who has been on the receiving end of that fucked up mind for a very long time. It's just all so crazy. We need to find a way to kill this bastard once and for all.
