Allow me to introducink myself!

Ah, Boris Badenov. Where would we be without his wit and wisdom?

Okay, so here I am. Live Journal. Yeah. For the longest time I was wary of this thing, ever since a friend sent me a link to hers and I found a rather catty comment regarding yours truly. Well, I vow not to be so careless! If I'm going to be bitchy (something I'll keep to a minimum), I'll block the objects of my bitchiness from seeing what I said. :)

The main reason I'm here is that trying to put a journal on my Geocities page is a pain in the arse. Also, I have a bunch of friends on here already, so I like the idea that we can comment on each other's journals.

I have to say thanks to Tendyl, who gave me a code to use so I could set this thing up. And of course, I have to thank Pierceheart for asking him for it! Now all I have to do is find out how to make my page all pretty...don't know any of the funky stuff for making up my own colors or styles. But I know enough geeks to help me out. :) (Gotta love 'em: they're useful, AND they have a bizarre sense of humor I can totally appreciate).

I will post more interesting things later, but now I have to work. Oy.

Stones Rising

According to the other admin here at work, I'm eligible for paid vacation exactly six months from my date of hire, and don't have to wait until the first of the following month. Yay! That means that I am eligible for vacation on the 24th. Which means...I could theoretically go to Stones Rising from the 27th-1st. Hmm. Should I? Shouldn't I? Should I save the money for King Richard's Faire? I do need a corset...but I've never been to a Pagan festival before. I should decide soon. Any input appreciated.

Good times and bad times

My poor friend Mike. He's having one of those times in life that make for great novels and poetry, but are really shitty to live through. Good thing the guy is a phenomenal writer. Right now, I'm in a pretty good place. Got a bunch of good friends, a pretty decent job, am looking at covens, etc. But sometimes, especially when things go bad for my friends, I feel like it's all a thin layer of ice on top of cold water, and it could crack at any minute. Not for nothing does the Tower show up in nearly every reading I have. Of course, there are still the huge gaping voids in my life. Well, the one anyway. Maybe that will change one day, and at least in the meantime I have ways of keeping occupied that are actually quite nice. It just bums me out to think of poor Mike having such a hard time with his love life. Maybe having no true love is better than a relationship spiked with pain. Maybe not. I've been in both places, and I still don't know. Ah well, time for a shower. Then I can get out of this melancholy mood Mike put me in. "Thanks for being a toilet for me to vomit in," he says. Sheesh.
