I seem to have forgotten how to cry.

The good news: We are now accepting registration for a series of classes (to be held in a chat room) on spirit contact, astral work, and working with spirits. If you’re interested in learning more, you can click the link at the top of the page or go directly to the scheduling page. Classes are Continue reading →

Artist Trading Cards

nomnomnom

I recently discovered a trend. I’m not really clear on how old it is, but I don’t much care, either. It’s a very cool idea, and I would love to trade cards with my friends, if any of you are artistic and would be interested in this. Check out the article; I don’t have time Continue reading →

Pagan Blog Project

By Mats!

So apparently there’s this ongoing thing called the Pagan Blog Project, and lots of people are participating. I just found out about it a few days ago, and I signed up, but as usual I’m thinking maybe I bit off more than I can swallow because I still haven’t found the time to actually write Continue reading →

Events of Recent Months

It's bloody cold out there.

I’m beginning to think that moving the blog to an inner page was an error. No one is commenting, so I’m uncertain if anyone is reading. If you are, please leave a comment (at the blog) so that I know about it. Life has been a roller coaster since I started school in September. It’s Continue reading →

Decals Needed!

Get spooky with it!

Wow, has it really been five weeks since I did a blog post? School is really cutting into my time, but I hadn’t realized it had been so long. My apologies; I’m working on a schedule to keep me on top of my bazillion projects and their various tasks, but it’s not in use yet, Continue reading →

Another Little Essay on Online Friends

I guess there's a dawn. Eventually.

A Google+ friend shared an article on Social Media, Pretend Friends, and the Lie of False Intimacy. This is a topic I’ve written on before, but it’s always interesting to have the point brought home in a new way. The recent suicide of Trey Pennington, whom I did not know, belies the assumed friendship that Continue reading →

But I was duped!

cups_0008

Over the last twenty four hours, I have seen a lot of discussions about victims, scammers and who is really at fault. It is unfortunate to say but there are dishonest people in nearly every profession and dishonest clients that seek out services as well. In the world of counselling (including therapeutic, spiritual and psychic) Continue reading →

Looking for the Light at the End of the Tunnel

For the return of Innocence.

I’ve been posting a lot of my more trivial stuff on Google+, but this post definitely doesn’t belong there. One thing I’ve noticed about social networks — they promote superficiality of a sort. Not that the posts are meaningless or pointless (well, some are), but there’s not a lot of sharing of the self in Continue reading →

In Which There’s Ow

Sometimes I feel this vulnerable.

I think I’ve developed an aversion to blogging. It’s really weird, because I have also seen more of a shift (for me, anyway) toward the social networking stuff. Google+ is like blogging, streamlined. But it’s not very personal, and my attraction to blogging was always to express myself, particularly the deeper and grittier stuff that Continue reading →

All is Well

Tastes like chicken!

I had my colonoscopy this morning, along with an unexpected endoscopy down my throat to look at my stomach, etc. The doctor found one small polyp in my colon and removed it, and sent it out for biopsy. She is doing this to check for wheat allergy. She said there was no sign of cancer. Continue reading →

Colorectal Cancer Stuff, and Eww

It's all gonna be okay, right?

Don’t I pick the best subject lines? (Not so much.) I have Crohn’s Disease (since 1993) and a family history of colorectal cancer. I hadn’t seen a gastroenterologist since 2007; I used to see one doctor who retired, and I was passed over to his colleague, who turned out to be a jerk, so I Continue reading →

You Know What? Screw This.

Spit hiss snarl

I’ve been back online three days, and already there’s stupid drama that I don’t want to deal with. What am I — a magnet? Why do I care what other people think? I mean, really. Meridjet has been accused of being arrogant and superior and of talking down to people in a LiveJournal community. This Continue reading →
