I Can Do This

You don't know what my motives are. Stop guessing.

I’ve been putting off this post for a while. Those of you who’ve known me a while know that I’ve struggled a lot in the past few years, largely via therapy, to own my mistakes and find my footing with regard to personal boundaries. My instincts in that arena tend to be either one extreme Continue reading →

Briefly, Then

Do you miss me?

I’m still offline, obviously. My trip to Ohio was canceled and the stress of the past couple of months is wearing on me severely. I am not emotionally stable right now and so all the newsletters etc are on hold. My daughter’s computer needs serious repair, and I can’t deal with it right now, so Continue reading →

Revising My Previous Statements

She looks a little like Elizabeth Taylor, eh?

I’m posting from my iPod because I’m suffering from computer aversion. I’ve been one line twice in the past week I think. In any case, there are a few things to update and some humor from Meridjet. Due to the circumstances I’ve observed for myself and my friends, I’m revising my prediction that this year Continue reading →

Help Me Get My Workshops! Please?

Well, maybe not naked.

I posted the below on Facebook and am sending it out to a few friends as well as posting it here; would you read it and consider drafting an email to the pertinent party? I would really, really appreciate it. I recently applied for two workshops (on working with spirits) for the House Kheperu Open Continue reading →

Choose a Topic for Me to Write About

In this post, you can pick any topic for me to write about. Muppets? Satellite laser technology? (I just made that up.) Oh, weird stuff? What would I know about that?

Comment with something for me to write about that starts with one letter of the alphabet (e.g., A- Apples). One topic per letter — it’s like a claims list! I will add topics to the letters as they appear. You can select multiple letters/topics, with a limit of 3, but only if the letter you’ve Continue reading →

A Survey Meme, with My Beliefs

I believe that everyone, regardless of how they behave on the surface, seeks a deep connection with someone or something — it's just that a majority of people have buried that under tons of crap so they don't have to feel it anymore.

This meme contains a great deal of information regarding my beliefs, among other things. 30 days, with a question per day. The Meme: Day 01 – Introduction Day 02 – Your first love Day 03 – Your parents Day 04 – What you ate today Day 05 – Your definition of love Day 06 – Continue reading →

Furs, Bones, and Teeth, Oh My!

Send your piggy kisses today!

Sheta is asking for donations again, only this time I’m looking for stuff you no longer use or want, or would be willing to part with. I’m going to be doing a bunch of art this summer focused on animal parts. I’ve been putting this off for a long time. I have several cow skulls Continue reading →

MediaFail: A Truly Awesome Idea

Most media fails, for that matter.

I receive email updates from Free Press, a group concerned with keeping the Internet free, fair, and accessible to everyone. I’m going to save time and paste their latest to me. I strongly encourage reading this because they’ve come up with a great idea. You might be familiar with FailBlog — This is MediaFail! Dear Continue reading →

Since I Don’t Have an Assistant

Sometimes I'm a little TOO relaxed.

I wanted to provide a general notice and disclaimer about my tardiness and my disorganization level. I just found a comment thread on another blog that underlined the need for me to do this. In that thread it was pointed out that I’d published an article two issues late, which is true. I accepted responsibility Continue reading →

A Long Time Away

Wanna tickle?

I have been away too long. We are well on the mend here, coughing still but out of any danger. Kara is feeling better. Things are returning to normal, though I have a lot of catching up to do, and not just on this blog. I’ve got writing, editing the magazine (which is due to Continue reading →

Explanations

So much has been going on! I spent a week cleaning in preparation for a termite inspection — morning to night, every day — and then we had to be exterminated, as I knew we would. There were guys here for three days — one day for the inspection, one to exterminate, and another for Continue reading →

Forum is Ready

The forum is ready, as some of you have already discovered based on the fact that this morning I had 3 guests visiting. You can access the forum here until I get the link up on the main page. I’m still tweaking, but feel free to break the ice if you want. Oh! And I Continue reading →
