Dislikes
Deliberately stupid people and over-cooked vegetables. Sometimes, it's hard to tell the difference *checky grin*
Hobbies
Needle crafts, knitting, crochet, web weaving, writing, belly dancing, cooking, and cleaning. The last is weird, I know, but as a hobby, its not so bad.
I like this idea and concept, but I'm still learning how to best use this space as a tool; and well, some days, LJ and GJ are easier for me to use. It seems easier to begin a threaded conversation and follow it there, and I'm comfortable with that.
Writing is progressing well, though. I've discovered that trying to write and edit at the same time (although on different works) is a challenge, and am balancing that. I've gotten three chapters in a first draft bleeding red ink and notes galore on rewrite and restructure ideas - so tonight and tomorrow I'll be focusing on writing. 3k is my goal for the weekend.
If you're interested in the madness of the writing life, feel free to drop by The Blood Rose. That's my writing journal.
As a trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers the window, and she says "Hi, my name is Heather, and you're losing some of your load." The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street. When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again. She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door. Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken, the blonde says brightly "Hi, my name is Heather, and you're losing some of your load!" Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street. At the third red light, the same thing happens again. All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, and knocks on the truck door. The trucker rolls down the window. Again she says "Hi, my name is Heather, and you're losing some of your load!" When the light turns green, the trucker revs up and races to the next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck and runs back to the blonde. He knocks on her window, and after she lowers it, he says "Hi, my name is Kevin. It's winter in Minnesota, and I'm driving the SALT TRUCK!"
It is time for a breather, especially as I take up the mantle of Flame Keeper tomorrow at sunset.
I did use the intense heaviness and tiredness today, though, and got secondary confirmation of the clan totem. If I dream of it again tonight, that will be fine, but I don't think that I will actively quest for it.
This year will be the year that I will seriously explore what it means to be a Celtic shaman. From the beginning researches I did into the symbolism of my three Otherworld helpers that I am to work with, I really don't see that I have much of a choice. Not such a bad state of affairs in any case. And so, I will begin with a traditioanl journeyman's prayer.
I stand at the doorway with staff & pack, May Dana protect me there & back.
