I normally don't do tests like this, but this one was just too good to pass up.
Funny I only scored "moderate" as a heretic, when I'm not even Christian!
The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Fifth Level of Hell!
Fifth Level of Hell
The river Styx runs through this level of Hell, and in it are punished the wrathful and the gloomy. The former are forever lashing out at each other in anger, furious and naked, tearing each other piecemeal with their teeth. The latter are
I finally got to change my new 14g earrings today!!! I put in my Shorty Goddess Spirals by Little Seven (actually called Shorty spirals but they're a smaller version of their Goddess spirals)
And a close up:
Those are actually 18g LeRoi flatbacks in the bottom holes. They're meant for labret piercings, mostly, but they work great for earrings. A little difficult to put in and remove, but awesome for long term wear - just make sure the balls are tightly screwed on every day. No
I was away at my dad's this weekend and had a great time! We visited my grandad in the hospital (he broke his back and is not doing well ...) on Saturday morning, then after that we went to New Hope, where I got my ear pierced again...
Shiny new inner conch piercing:
(and of course kick ass spirals as well).
Sunday was our picnic- we had an amazing time there as well! After that we had a Wii tournament- word of advice: Wii tournaments make it really hard to walk or do anything a
...On Guinness Draught, yea!!!
I never liked beer. I had about three drops of Honey Brown Lager when I was younger- and swore off beer forever.
But I was determined to find at least one beer that was tolerable. There were a few (like, three) that I really wanted to try. Guinness was one of them.
I had to try three different places to find a four pack of Guinness Draught cans- and pay through the nose for them. But I actually like it! No, love it!
I like the smell, the color, the
A member of a pagan forum I frequent asked us to "rewrite" the Ten Commandments as they would be for our beliefs, if we had "commandments". This, of course, was an opportunity that I could not pass up. I have twelve just to be different
It made me think anyay. My Twelve Commandments:
MY NEW LAPTOP IS HERE!!!!
Her name is Josie. I had to practically chase the mailman to get her but she's HERE!!!!
I spent a few frustrating hours getting her set up, but now I'm laying on the couch watching TV and posting blogs like a good little lazy techie.
It took a little while, but I'm getting used to the keyboard and touchpad and I LOVE IT!!!!!
:D :D
Now if only Kitten would get on so I can bug him on webcam.
Tomorrow is Friday. ME SO HAPPY!!!
I didn't think
My navel ring did NOT grow shut, in fact...the hole shrunk quite a bit but I was able to stretch it back open, and I now have a beautiful new titanium barbell from Industrial Strength. It's a shorter barbell, at first I thought it was too short, but I LOVE the shorter barbell. It feels so much more comfortable than the longer one I had been wearing.
(You can see the nasty surgery scar that is *slowly* healing and fading, and yes, my stomach is that hairy LOL I should totally take a better pi
Well, to make a perfect end to the clusterfluck week...I wound up having (minor) surgery today.
I had a cyst near my belly button...as a result I had to be cut open and it drained. I had to remove the jewelery until it heals which means it'll probably grow shut and need repierced. *sigh* That's the last thing I wanted (well rejection would be worse but...) but right now I'm more worried about the wound healing than losing my navel ring.
The PA that did the procedure is awesome though.
This wasn't as difficult and messy as I thought it would be. Worked far better than trying to do this with honey.
I started with a little less then the amount that my container would hold of fractionated coconut oil. (I love that stuff...but I'm going to have to start using something else soon). I put that in a double boiler (well, the makeshift version) and I ground up the myrrh resin as much as I could. I put this directly into the oil which I heated, stirring for a good 15 minutes or so.
I just finished Gladiatrix last night, and just submitted the rough draft of the review today. WOOO HOOO!!!!
Update on Flash: he has been eating his tail. A whole 1/4 inch it seems like disappeared one day- but I have an idea why this might be happening. Turns out, the poor guy's bowl was in the sun for several hours a day! I was at work during this time, so I had no idea. I have taken measures to make him feel safer, and to stop the sun from shining on him. So here's hoping the situation im
I didn't realize it'd been so long since I updated!!!!
I've been keeping myself busy, I jumped right in with my Gwyddon studies and I have my first group ritual this Monday (Beltaine!!!). I've been collecting supplies, sewing robes and am preparing to set up an altar. Most of it I hope will be set up tomorrow. Unfortunately the onyx bowl I ordered isn't here yet...I didn't realize it was coming from Canada or I would have ordered it sooner. *sigh* I may wind up using a temporary one until i
I've gone and created another blog. This is blog #8...my friends all think I've totally lost it.
I guess I truly am a blogger at heart. Plus, wordpress is entirely too much fun.
So without further ado, I give you: Tranquil Mayhem.
I posted a recipe for an awesome (and awesomely simple) hair/body/lip balm. I love this stuff. I'm currently ordering supplies to make even more.
I'm doing alright, today. Actually had a good day...it's the first day in at least a week that I've actual
So I've been making my own body balm...yummy...Recipe Here.
It's so easy even I can do it and the benefits of this stuff (over commercial products) so far have been WELL worth the effort (besides, I enjoy doing this).
I made some mandarin first, and tonight, grapefruit and ylang-ylang. It smells SOO good (and it's a light scent...which I need because strong scents make me sick). I made some of it stiffer, this time, and put it in an old Lip Smacker tube. I actually had just enough to fil
It HAS been a while. My presence on all of my 'usual hangouts' has been greatly reduced. I'm sure you guys know that I've been struggling with some sort of depression...so here's the REST of the story.
I'd been slowly 'losing my grip' for months now. Most noticeably since Christmas, when I started having panic attacks. Well, about a month ago I guess it was now, a very dear friend of mine became ill (he has a chronic illness) and was in the hospital for a time. Then I stopped hearing from hi
On Monday I summoned up my courage and asked for (and got!) a raise, and more hours. That turned into more stress than I needed, but alls well that ends well, and I did get a raise and more hours (and the increase from my old weekly income is going to go right into my savings.)
It took me most of the week but I found a DSL provider, for less than I actually expected to pay! I ended up going with the phone company, which I DIDN'T want to do for various reasons, but I did have to as Verizon wa
Just busy.
I got a new fish, pictures posted Here.
He seems to be doing well, still won't eat. BUT his beautiful tail that you see there, is in shreds!!! He must've got it caught on the plant (I removed the plant) and it looks just awful but I'm so worried about stress on him and the possibility of fin rot.
My poor, beautiful baby. And his poor tail. I just fell in love with that tail. I am so sad.
I'm still reading Gladiatrix and I must say, I am pleased with it. I'm almost don
I'm still fighting the depression. It's largely situational...so while I don't know exactly what is causing some of it, I do know that once things 'settle down' it should improve. I really hope and pray that that is soon, too. I wonder just how much more I can take.
I joined a Brighid flamekeeping Cill over on TC. Tomorrow is the beginning of my first shift, and I'm building a shrine to her tomorrow evening. I'm happy that I will have the house to myself for that. I don't know what all will
I'm really sad to report that Lasairian died this morning.
I don't know what happened. I changed his water on Saturday and he was fine. I fed him Saturday. He took one bite of food (I think it was too big a bite. More than one pellet stuck together or something) and went to the top of the bowl. Just hanging there. He stopped eating.
All day yesterday he was either at the top or bottom of the bowl...totally just like 'meh'. I could tell the spirit wasn't in him. He ceased to be Lasairian
But I have it back now. *Pries brain out of life's mouth*. A little spit covered, but no worse for wear. *grins*
Over the past year or so, I've been so preoccupied with work, and other things, that I've hardly had time to do anything I cared about. And when I DID have time, I was usually so bogged down with depression or something similar, that I couldn't manage to do anything. It started sometime last winter...and during that time when pretty much my whole focus was on surviving and maintai
So I downloaded Apophysis again. Been having fun. One of my newest:
(not exactly my cup of tea but I have a couple of friends who really like this sort of thing.)
I'm more into stuff like this:
I'm not usually the superstitious type, but dead cows in the road at 5.30 AM are a bad omen.
An overturned cattle hauler turned my 15 minute morning drive into an hour and 45 minutes, during which I got lost, and went I don't know how many miles out of my way.
Fortunately, my boss and supervisor both thought it was hilarious. When I got there they asked me if I needed a map to get to the other side of the shop. "Can you find your way to the Robodrill?" "Better paint some arrows on the fl
For the first time in literally months and I feel GREAT!!! I had forgotten how awesome it could be to just dance with no purpose in mind (as opposed to dancing in order to work some Big Time Mojo during which I always wear myself out and leave myself feeling rather icky for days afterwards). WOO!!!
I just received a signed copy of Gladiatrix to review for UNRV which I can't wait to get started on it! I've been busy though, I plan on starting it this weekend.
Tomorrow I'm going hunting fo
I'm so happy...lol today in chorus I actually managed to use my entire range...I can sing anywhere from bass to soprano one on a good day (I normally have no break in my voice) but often I lose the top half of my range...
My scratch art of a retairus I'm making in art class is turning out very well, the hard part is over now I just gotta do the "floor" and the net, I'm really pleased since it was a rather ambitious first attempt at scratch art lol.
I found a new project for shop class, I
