Tomorrow I'm catching the train to MN. It will be at least until Friday before I get online again.
I'm really nervous about the trip, not sure why. It is a lot of things I have never done before, but I think I'll be alright. I just wish I could stop worrying LOL.
We had our memorial day celebration yesterday, and my cousin's friend got his car stuck...you should have seen us trying to get it out. We got it out, but it was by 6 or 7 of us sitting in the trunk to add enough weight to get

Well I finally got around to painting my room. My mom was being a bit of a **...she said she'd help me before but then didn't (was too sick) but still got mad at me for not painting it "her way". So anyway...I had just started painting my ceiling when I managed to break the handle off of the roller (which then fell on my head. I managed to keep the paint roller off the hardwood floor, but I looked like a wannabe for the "blue man group"). I've got my room back together now though, and it looks r
So, here it is, 10:40 PM and I just got home from work. Mind you, this would not be so bad, however I must be up at 4:30 tommorrow morning so that I can be at work at 6:30. I am also working Sunday morning, at 6 or 6:30 AM. I had switched days with someone so that I would have Sunday off, but the manager decided that since I was a trainee, that wouldn't do. So now I'm back to working Sunday again. Sure, give me some relief from this hellish weekend, then yank it away again! The shift before mine
I suppose I should count myself VERY lucky concerning today's events. And I feel quite free to laugh about them now.
So today started out relatively normal; I got up at 5:05 or so...I have to leave at 5:30 mind you to get to work. But this is normal, and I usually wind up leaving at about 5:35 and getting there five minutes or so early.
So I'm driving to work, as usual. I am almost there, and just as I am entering New Albany (I'm slowing down, as the speed limit changes from 45 to 25 r
Car registration
Update computer virus and antispyware protection
Book train tickets
Get car inspected
Acquire luggage that meets AMtrak requirements
Get Tracfone minutes
Get ring resized (when it gets here)
Move money out of savings account
Pack
Getting there! A lot of loose ends to tie up. I probably won't be very active online for a few months (until I get back). There's a lot of stuff to do, and the train trip is going to take several days.
I'm nervous about the trip, I've ne
Things that make me happy:
I have this weekend off (as of now) and so does my mom
Our 6-inch subs are on sale
I've started working together with Heartshadow on the religion she's creating (because there are many similarities between my path and hers)
Chocolate
Black Chai Tea
Things that Don't make me happy:
My back is still stiff from shoveling 18+ inches of wet snow
I pulled my back/shoulder somehow last night and was having muscle spasms so bad
I've finally paid the girl to get her car fixed, and they actually decided they wanted less money than they'd need to fix it. I wrote her a check, she wrote me a reciept (which I locked up in my safe). So that is taken care of. Now all I need is to pay my insurance and fix my car, and looking at my account balance I may just be able to do that without going into my savings! I am very much joyful about that, as the money I had fervently squirrelled away is money I had planned to use for my trip t
What goes on when we close our eyes? What are we doing when we think we are asleep? Those knights and dragons, warriors and faraway lands on worlds beond the sun are real. If they aren't real here, physically, they are real only in that they are real to us. What is the significance, to us, of these lands of our dreams? Are they simply an escape from the waking world of biting reality or are they something more? Do our lives of faraway lands only seen in the night through sleeping eyes matter as
(now please, go crawl in a hole and die!)
That's what I felt like saying most of the day today.
I had to work the deli this morning, and I HATE deli in the morning. I'm willing to do it, but it is far from my favorite thing, I was alone on deli this morning and still not entirely sure what I was supposed to be doing or how. I had no problem with *being* on deli because they wanted to train the new girl on register, and so they asked me to switch over to deli. Of course, the new girl was
I just heard from my friend, the one who I hadn't heard from in forever and was very sick. He's doing well, just didn't have access to a computer for a while. Haven't been having the greatest of days, but that one email just made my night!
This week was actually pretty good, all things considered. Still, I'm tired. I was sick over the weekend, and started out the week not being able to eat well, so I was already off to a nasty start. Add to that hormone fluctuations and a few other things, and well, it went well but I'm glad it's over.
My beads from Fire Mountain came yesterday, and I made a couple of bracelets. I'm not entirely happy with them, for various reasons, but I am mostly satisfied with how they came out.

Thank Gods it's Saturday. I'm really glad I got out of going to my cousin's Bday party...it's like a four hour drive both ways to get there...and stay in a cramped house with a bunch of small children running around. Fun. Although the only reason I got out of it is because my mom is sick and I'm really not happy about that I'm thinking of doing a series of drawings or paintings of the Roman Gods. I love Greek and Roman mythology although for some reason I never got around to doing any art invo
Is anyone else with a Phpbb forum having problems with it? My entire host is down, as is my friend's. Even the support forum is down, there's nothing I can do. Got lots of study hall today, I hope I can get at least a good part of my lab report done at school. I don't mind doing the english essay at home. I think my mom thought I was a bit strange last night...I was doing an excercise to strengthen my diaphram for singing...it involved putting two really big books on my stomach while lieing
It's finally nice out. Finally. I read for 3 hours yesterday, and a little bit today. It was nice all week, but I was trapped in school . they're saying we could get snow again tuesday, but i hope not I'm sick of snow. Sick of it. Good bye, snow. It's 55.2 degrees F here, which is actually warm for North Eastern PA, where in the winter being anywhere above freezing is considered warm. The mountains are beautiful, but best enjoyed in late spring through early fall (the fall leaves around here are
I finally got my butt in gear and wrote that article about Morrigan for the site. It's in for editing/feedback now and it should be published sometime soon I hope. I did that a few days ago. I also made my mom a snake out of Sculpey clay. It's beautiful, and I can't believe I did so well. Neither can she; I had a hard time convincing her I actually made it.
Still looking for a job, but I'm enjoying the time off. I went back to the two places where I put in applications; one doesn't have any
Well it snowed. We got one heck of a snow storm in the middle of April. And the power was out all day, but now it's back on again. I hope it stays on.
This week has been very stressful, but I'm extremely glad that it is over. I have tomorrow off too, and I'm really enjoying my time off. Due to the power outage I had nothing to do (other than shoveling 18 inches of snow) so I spent most of the day in meditation (when not trying to keep warm. I was huddled around an oil lamp for heat. It was
Yesterday we had the first real snowfall of the year. We had an assembly at school, meaning we did not go home early (the presentation was painfully loud by the way...I had my fingers in my ears and it didn't help). Because we did not go home early, the buses could not get to the school because of roads being closed. My bus left about the time I should have gotten home. We got stuck at one of the stops, and I hear that after I got off they got stuck AGAIN When I finally left, the power was g
As I sleep
Wrapped in silver wings
Dreaming of simpler things
Of days gone by
And how time flies
Of life, and love
And joys denied
And as I wish
Not to wake
To stay forever
In this state
Where birds all sing
And joy abounds
And true love always
To be found
And as I wake
To new sunrise
And look around
With sleepy eyes
Try not to be caught
By surprise
When life stares me in the face
And I want nothing more
Than to go back to that place
This has been the worst week like, ever. One of my pet chickens is very sick, I have her in a cage in the basement hoping she'll get better but it seems highly unlikely. She is so covered in mites I can *not* believe it. Come within 5 feet of her cage and you're likely to have them.She won't eat and its gotten to the point that I kind of wish she would just die, she wouldn't feel sick anymore and there's only so long I can handle taking care of her. And I've never seen so many mites in one place
My computer will be back this week (hopefully) or next week, unless something else happens. YAY!! I'm sick of having to use library computers, or my friends', because the library computers are always blocking things (I couldn't make this entry yesterday, they blocked access to my blog I don't know why. I know there's nothing inappropriate in here...) and they blocked access to the "Romana Humanitas" section of the forums (possibly because it mentions wine? I have no idea. They are so stupid). I
Lol computer is finally up and running. FINALLY. Took long enough. LOL I had a heck of a time with my internet connection, updating Norton and the like. I have to get ADAware too again. Finally got my IM back, and I'm working on getting my channel back soon (I lost my channel because I hadn't been on. They didn't realize my comp crashed). Lol so I should be more active again now.
Monty Python is on PBS on Wednesday nights. 8:00. XD
Scented oils from resin:
This one is extremely easy; I actually discovered it by accident.
You need:
~Some carrier oil (grapeseed works well, so does mineral oil; I haven't tried any others. Recommend grapeseed for skin use)
~Resin incense (such as Frankincense, Myrrh, Copal or other) I can tell you from experience that Dragon's blood does not work well at all sad and Myrrh works phenomenally. mr blue
~One of those liquid potpourri burner things with a tealight candle (mine is

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
