mood: melancholy
Way too much chopping of mushrooms and cooking of onions in the morning today. Especially since I am pretty sure that I will be the only one actually cooking something for the "cultural feast" in class today. I should have made Kvass and been done with it. Depending on how many people actually eat this thing I may end up having to skip my second class today (tragedy) to bring home leftovers.
I should be studying for finals. Instead I am reading Lovecraft and knitting a shrug. O…

Oi. I wonder why I pop my nose in here at all anymore. While combing through the discussions I have seen some of the worst hypocrisy and egotistical squabbling. Usually perpetrated by the same people bitching about hypocrisy and egotistical squabbling in anther discussion.
Gah!
I would really like to find someplace to socialize with other pagans that does not leave me feeling like a cranky bear that just got poked by a child.

Its almost spring, and it sure is feeling that way on many levels. This is that time of year when the frigid days of winter are still hanging on, when the darkness and cold seem never ending. The days are getting longer, and the sun is making the occasional cameo appearance in the sky, but the trees are still bare and chilling winds keep us isolated in our houses. Some of us are buying seeds and soil for our gardens, and we wait with barely concealed impatience for the last frost to be over so w…

Popping out of the shadows of lurkdom to see if this site is still around.
*looks about* Yep. Still here.
If you deleted me from your FL due to inactivity I can hardly blame you. In my defense though I have enough spare time to eat and sleep most days. I apologize for being a lousy friend. :-(.
Hopefully I will be around for at least a little bit.
Anyway, I iz back for a while.

Sorry guys--too many networking sites. I am dropping this one for a while. If you want to keep in touch you can find me on LiveJournal as kaelanna1. If I know you in real life try me on FaceBook. I may sporadically check in and get messages from this site.
Not sure when or if I will be back here.

I am dragon
coiled around myself
beginning to end
first to last
containing the world
surrounded by myself
universal womb
I am dragon
diving deep in ocean
(unseen deep)
following river bends
roaring falls
hiding my call
I am dragon
flying high above
dancing with clouds
flitting above lakes

I just had it brought home to me just how much weight I have lost. Since quitting smoking and starting school I have gained a whole lot of weight and I have been struggling to take it back off. I have been really doing well tracking my food and getting exercise in on a regular basis (there have been a few weeks lately that I have slacked off a bit).
I just put on a shirt that I bought in Feb. or Mar. this year--it was tight around my hips and belly when I got it so I never really put it on much…

Went to place an order for some shirts from thinkgeek today--I really want the I'm blogging this t-shirt to wear to Pittsburgh. Get my order together and add on my geek points reward (I have a lot of points to use--go figure), click on the pay now button, and get an error message. Granted it was a cute error message, but it was a message that should not be there. So I call the friendly monkeys to see what's up. Apparently the server had JUST crashed (i.e. in the last 5 min that I was placing my…

My friend and I went shopping today (thrift store retail therapy),and I managed to get most of the shirts I should need for the fall and early part of winter. Good thing since I have lost enough weight to make a new wardrobe necessary. I found a building set for my son, and a "tea for one" set (pot and cup fit together) for me. I have wanted one of those sets for the longest time.
So, anyway, we went to dinner after we got done shopping. My crazy ass friend took the crazy ass vegetarian to Bob…

I got lost the other day
going home the back way (you wanted an adventure)
turn in a circle 3 times and click the heels
Found my way home.
I talked to my friend the other day
We laughed and ate chocolate,
return to childhood.
Wink of scaled eye, flip of barbed tail
My friend was gone.
I hold in my hand a staff
gnarled wood and power
jester’s baton
and fairy wand
I talked to a god the other day
Asked him where the divine logic in my life was
demanded answers.
He laughed.
Told me to lay m…

Ok so I didn't have to work today (big surprise since business has be crappy this week) so my friend and I got together for dinner and girl time. We were going to hit the thrift store but we didn't make it there--going to do that tomorrow unless something comes up. What we did do is make some little pumpkin pie tarts and truffles and get to the pet store to get me a new betta for my room. I still had my frog (Golem--he has evil looks that he gives you) but I have gotten used to seeing a little f…

Mirror Image
I am on this side
And you are on the other
Opposites
Two visions of the same whole
Right to left
Male to female
Positive to negative
Everything you see as good
I see as bad
Everything I see as holy
You see as mundane
What you love in me
I hate in you
Reaching out
Grasping at images of what will never be
My image
Shatter the mirror
Reaching into the pool
Drowning
Seeking the whole.
Rewind
backwards living
blending last days into first
problem…

Did this personality test today (really, the ways I find to avoid housework are impressive). I scored as an INFJ type. The description of that type is.....interesting.
http://typelogic.com/infj.html For those who are interested.
Not sure what to make of the career choices--they are actually pretty close to what I am pursuing right now.
Hrm.

Went to see ThouShaltNot today. They were great. The new music is wonderful, and again I was impressed with the band members. They are just nice people. I went with my best friend and she was kind enough to get me a copy of the lead singers solo album. Wonderful friend. The other bands that played were not bad--not things I would listen to on a regular basis, but not bad. The second band was definitely up there on the sexy scale. Well at least one of them was.
I forgot how much I like going to…

Got to go see the doctor today. Official diagnosis--I have allergies and a sensitivity to chlorine but my lungs are just fine. ;-P. In other words there is nothing to be done but try and avoid the chlorine. Bah. She did try to change my allergy medication because the loratadine is not cutting it. Unfortunately my insurance company is stupid and likes to make getting stuff for allergies as difficult as possible. I am hoping that this time we can get the new stuff pushed through--but who the hell…

I got my son into swimming lessons at UA--they offer a really good rate for students and I know that he loves swimming so I thought it would be a nice treat. Today was his first lesson, I was kind of nervous because he has never been in group lessons like this before and I was not sure if the instructors would be able to deal with him. We let the person in charge know that he has autism and she agreed that we could try the lessons out and see what happened.
Things went really well. I was pleasa…

There is an image in my mind (I think I first saw it last year).
It is of seasons passing, seen from under the hood of a borrowed cloak. There is a stillness at the center of this image, a waiting and a watching something that does not touch, something set apart by a barrier of breath and will. There is movement in the image, a movement of color and light, of cold and violent winds. There is a stillness, a profound calm, a sense of place and purpose resonating deep in bone. There is a joyful sa…

You always hear that the first step is to admit that you have a problem. Well I admit that I am an addict. I never thought about it as a problem until last night when I couldn't get my fix in time. I tore the house up looking for the object of my desire. It took me several hours to track it down--and I was not a nice person to be around until I did.
But I eventually found Neverwhere and read half of it before bed. Yes I am addicted to books.
What did you think I was talking about? There are a f…

I can think of nothing less interesting than GRE review. Honestly--the information was boring as all get out the first time around if memory serves--and time has not made it any more interesting. Its not even practical. When was the last time you had to factor outside of an academic setting? Never. Bah. I can think of several dozen things I would rather be doing, including housecleaning.
Grumble.
Back to it I guess.
