Gotta love being a big sister. Shine needs my help, so I need to go over the house today and make sure her hair isn't falling out or anything, and possibly take her down to the hair salon. All she has is Rhyan, and while he's wonderful at cooking and cleaning and such (to the point where I would marry him for it, heh), he isn't a girl. So, I step in for Shine. And I love her like she was my sister, so its all good.

There was supposed to be a big something later, but some people aren't showing, and I'm still curious but I don't know anymore. Who knows, we'll see where the day takes me.

I had so much work I was going to do last night, and instead drank. By myself, until Libby came over. I was bored; what can I say? Heh.

Have to go to Mum's tomorrow and fix one of Nala's messes, but because its with my sewing machine I don't mind. Plus, she'll take me to Joanne's and buy me what I need. :-)

I'm rambling; thoughts are scattered. I have so much to do and so much on my mind. But blah. I should focus.....


me: (being friendly and such as I see he's online as haven't talked to him in MONTHS)
him: don't talk to me

What the fuck? I will never understand people... especially him, it seems. So much for a change of heart, Mum.



To end it: I spent four hours last night online with Rick (via Skype) trying to find The Daniel Jackson Sweater for him - so he can wear it and look cute for other girls.

I think I'm digging myself an early grave sometimes, I really do.

So.

I think the reason my interest jumps so often is that I'm never fully immersed in the culture of anything that I do. I mean, look at it. Religion. Writing. Dance. Music. Website design (not so much this one) Exercise. Sewing and crafts. Feminism. Art. And lots more. I get an idea for a project or activity, or to a lesser extent, career or job, and it is totally IN MY HEAD. 24/7. I can't stop dwelling on the idea I have.

And then, it flies out. Replaced with another new idea, which I proceed to obsess over. Until this idea is replaced as well.

I am a witch, and I suppose in a religious aspect I would consider myself pagan or (gulp) maybe even borderline wiccan. I've been reading for many, many years. But when it comes to actual practice? I do a few spells here and there, whip up some potions and herbal remedies, recognize the holidays and say a little prayer for each of them. But I don't actually practice, and witchcraft is very hands on. I get on a kick when I start talking to someone who's also a witch, but aside from that, its passing. Not my belief or my interest, just my practical application. (This is part of the reason I was so excited when Jess opened her harvest celebrations to people, and why I've been looking for a circle or group.)

Its the same with anything else, too. I know about things, have interest in them, but no practical application. I'm not immersed in any culture or sub-culture where I can cultivate new ideas. So I'm stuck with my same ideas and getting nowhere, fast. Sometimes I even feel less intelligent because of it! (It doesn't help that my roommates only talk about gaming, so there isn't much intelligent conversation going on there either)

I'm glad I'm going to this gay club. I want to make a point to talk to people, make some new friends. Immerse myself. Who knows? I might learn something.

I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner.

I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.

I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.

I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of "homosexual" until high school but never thought to question why two men might be kissing.

I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children.

We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters.

If you agree, repost this. Do it. You don't have to be afraid. You can handle it. You're stronger than you think.

I am making a difference. Hate will not win

You know, this site is pretty cool. I may have only scratched the surface, but it doesn't seem as big as LJ - I mean, that's a given, right? But still. It doesn't.

I started my own comm - . I have a member! Lol. I just started it yesterday, so I don't know why I'm getting excited. I'm sort of... pimping like crazy right now, but like I said, IJ doesn't seem as big as LJ, so I'm not sure. I'm a little tempted to make the comm on LJ too, but I don't know. Maybe I'll make it but not make it yet, you know? I think I may want to stay here for right now, as its probably safer, especially since SM allows explicit content and fanfiction/fanart... still. We'll see.

I haven't started searching for fandom stuff yet here... I will though. As soon as I do a bit more to SM. I'm such a dork. Heh.

Decided it couldn't hurt to branch out, so I made an insane journal. Had fun designing it, as always. Hopefully the banner at the top works here, coz it doesn't at LJ.
