Love affair
I've spent a large portion of my oh-so-long 27 years not being altogether pleased with being embodied. Naturally, I realized, resonating so darn well with things like witchcraft and Feri meant I had to make some serious decisions when it came to my lingering resentment at doing this physical thing again ( Read more... ) -
Last weekend recap - Workshop
As I'm still hyped up on the fruits of my brother's new expresso machine, I might as well play catch up. That being said it's 2:30 in the morning so hopefully this will be coherent as I may have already used up my good-writey-stuff typing in other places today.
A friend and I rented a car and drove up to Chicago for Thorn's Sex, Will and Magic(k) ( Read more... ) -
Wedding planning
Saturday I finally started planning my wedding and naturally I now realize both how much fun it is and also how much I haven't even thought of. For example, no idea about colors, songs, slight hints about the dress, not a clue as to what he's wearing, though we do know that we want a small wedding party and have asked those 2 folks if they will do ( Read more... ) -
She's a maniac, maaniac!
Guess what I recently watched for the first time ever?

No Con blues
Well, I'm a little bummed that I wasn't able to make it to Convocation. *sniffle*
I decided not to go when my companions had to drop out...its a little stressful on the pocketbook when someone gets arrested because they can't pay court fines. Ooch. So instead of putting in for bail this time, I let them handle this one by themselves, but I still ( Read more... ) -
Gratitude and Hope
I'm kind of dragging today and could definately use a nap, but I went to visit my parents briefly last night. After wrecking his car the same week he closed on his house, my brother has been very thankful that he can work from home, erm, from our parents' home. Since he works the night shift, I had just made it over when he was getting up for ( Read more... ) -
Child-like wonderment
I've been unexpectedly struck with a playful awe, joyful excitement and at least one case of the giggles recently ( Read more... ) -
I have a dream
Today is Dr Martin Luther King Jr.' s birthday. Tomorrow, President-elect Barack Obama will be inaugurated as our next president, and many of us struggling out of depths of economic woes and trying to harmonize class and ethnic divisions in this proverbial mixing pot, today we have a lot to hope for.

I have many a ( Read more... )
