Very Random Everything

I had a thought.

And then I lost it.

Go figure.

Today was blissfully quiet. I sat on the couch most of the day catching up with friends, comments, and while I didn’t actually get any serious writing done- I thought about some of my stories which in its own way almost counts. :) I played with the setting on some of my blogs and set up my friend Keiyou’s brand new blog very nicely if I do say so myself. *grins proudly* She’s still very new to the whole blogging world so it’d be really awesome if any of you out there could maybe stop by and give her a little encouragement. She might seem a bit shy at first but just ignore that because she’s secretly a social bug. *winks*

I’m thinking about starting two more official websites, by official I mean buying the domain name and setting it up. One for my “Don’t Stop Searching’ project and then another for a writing project of mine. Neither will be community sites like Spirit’s Home because I can’t possibly manage another site like it. I just don’t have enough resources and energy to do it. For those of you who know of the “Don’t Stop Searching” project I’ll be looking for volunteers sometime soon to help me catch up on all the emails I have coming in. I haven’t tended to it for a month or two now but I have twenty some posts to make and could really use the help especially if I make a full site out of it.

I’m still tired and rightfully so after an eight day work week but I’ve promised myself there’s no point in complaining about it. I’ve started looking at these little struggles as a form of meditation. Concentration, patience, discipline, and calmness. If I can manage these and focus on these while grinding my teeth and mentally swearing at people then I will feel like I am, in some quiet hidden way, accomplishing something.

It reminds me of something I read from one of Deng Ming-Dao’s books “Tao 365″, I don’t remember the whole story but there was this woman who swept temple steps every day. Not like three or four steps but like three or four hundred. She did this even though each and every day hundreds of tourists and monks would come up those steps to pray. One day someone asked her why she bothered if the elements and people were just going to undo her work the next day? Her reply was something along the lines of pointing to the monks in the midst of prayer. That is how they pray and devote themselves to their spiritual paths. They sit and concentrate or practice discipline and her sweeping the steps was how she practiced, her way of devoting herself to the temple by caring for it and devoting herself to a seeming meaningless task that if she didn’t do it watch and everyday- who would? Someone has to do it after all.

I hope that made sense to the situation I was using it in but in the end if it only makes sense to me I suppose that’s all that really matters. :)

A funny thought…

Keiyou and I were just chatting (okay so we’ve been chatting for over four hours, so sue me) and sharing songs when she sent me this real gem. As soon as I heard it the fire was rushing through my veins urging me to type and my soul filled with words and images that just wanted to explode from the soft chewy center known as my brain. It was awesome but at the same time (and yes I mean this) I wanted to talk to her more than I wanted to write and as much as I can multitask when working on my site or posting- I can’t do it while writing. I just get too absorbed and have difficulty pulling back so I made this joke that they need to make something similar to a Nicotine patch for writer’s when we get that urge. Not to make us quit! By no means should you think I mean that! I just mean that when I was in high-school or when I’m at work it would have really helped my concentration to tone the urge down because when my brain starts going off into that other world and traveling along roads known as scenes, chapters, and paragraphs- well, there’s isn’t a whole lot of room for much else when you have half a universe and then some crammed into your head.

Looking back I can fondly remember several moments where I was sitting in class furiously fleshing out a character sketch or making a timeline for events in one of my stories rather than the civil for example. I still paid attention in class and learned quite a bit but as for my homework- well, it suffered do to some of my more severe writerly urges, hence one of many reasons why I prefer online classes at my own pace.

Been playing around with my computer lots. :) Unlike most people I keep my windows bar vertical along the right side of my desktop so I have more space for various things (and because it just confuses the heck out of anyone using my laptop!). Recently I’ve added two small icons to my bar that open up two menus. The first and most important has shortcuts to my writing programs and all my blessedly multiple story folders. The second links to everything mp3 player and music in general related. I like this setup a lot because even though I can get to most of this stuff through my laptop I tend to be running a lot of open windows at once (yahoo chat windows, msn chat windows, meebo chat windows, blogger, my website, a code platform for my site, the aforementioned story folders and several of the stories themselves…) so it tends to be a bit of a pain to go through the Start menu and all my programs to find something but at the same time it could take even longer sometimes just to find my Desktop and when I do there’s always the chance that my often half formed thoughts have created several random Documents to clutter it up. So, yes, I am very happy with my new little menus. So happy in fact I’ve decorated them with stars. :)

This post feels very random.

I like it.

Maybe now that I’ve gotten some of this clutter out of my head I’ll be able to remember that thought I had.

Maybe?

Lol.

*hops around* Yays! I think I have replied to all the comments you wonderful, wonderful, awesome people have left me! Here have another picture. It’s the fire flower in my yard. A few more have bloomed since but I love this picture the best. It reminds me of the Faeries.

Hey It’s A Picture!

Hello all! *waves while holding the camera steady* This is me. I’m not wearing my glasses and am currently being blinded by the flash but it is me nonetheless. :) More photography by Spirit coming soon.

I Wonder

July 25th, 2008

Dedicated to Jo who unknowingly inspired me.


I wonder about the paths I have taken, precisely how they have made me who I am. How one choice or another no matter how small has made me who I am.

I wonder about the perspective of the size of the universe. Let me explain this one. Think of a cell with it’s Nucleus and all it’s other parts. Then think about how millions of billions of cells can create a person. If that cell is like a tiny world than a person is like a universe. Like our cells lets say we make up our planet. This planet and all the other spinning rocks in our known universe are cells that make up the universe.

If our universe is expanding is that not unlike mitosis (gods I hope that’s the right word), the process where cells split and multiply? Could our one universe created by our once big bang (the start of the cell) be one among many other universes? Could we be part of one infinitely huge person and not know it? On the reverse end of things couldn’t our cells be like teeny tiny universes within us?

I wonder if I fit under the medical definition of insane. Seriously. If I told someone with some credentials about some of the things I think, see, hear, and believe- I wonder if they’d put me on medication or ask me when I would like to schedule my next appointment.

I wonder if I have a Doppelganger.

I wonder if humans really truly are the only sentient creatures on this planet.

I wonder how some people can do what they do. How can mother’s beat their children? Children leave their mothers? How can someone abandon one person for another? How is it that one person can’t stand to kill a spider while another would massacre an entire family? How can we stand to go to war an kill our own kind at all? How can we look at one nation or army as the enemy when they are the same as us? How canĀ  we have persecuted one race over another? How is it we have survived this long as a whole when we are so divided within?

I wonder what happened to honor.

I wonder what’s so wrong with ‘sex’ is everywhere’. Finish reading before you kill me. People are constantly gibbering about sex in the media, sex on TV, sex in movies, sex on clothing, sex in advertising, sex in everything. Yeah, I know some people don’t want their children exposed to such advertising and I don’t blame them one darn bit (note: when I say sex I mean sex appeal) even if they aren’t showing body parts parents have a right to try and influence their children and keep them away from that stuff until they are old enough to understand- sadly not enough parents use this right.

Now, that aside- what is so wrong with sex appeal in the media? It’s a basic human function that both pleasurable and leads to the continuation of the race. If people in general would quit treating the concept like such a bad taboo thing then kids wouldn’t be into it half as much. What’s the fun in doing something everyone considers commonplace after all? Note I’m not talking about the act of sex itself but sex appeal, using women in bikinis to get teenagers to buy said bikinis because they think they’ll look like that or the the next slutty shirt because some girl on TV wore it and then suddenly had all these guys all over her. If we quit treating sex appeal like a bad thing it will quit being a bad thing. Instead of putting it down all the time we should be talking to today’s generation and explaining that while yes, getting the slutty shirt will bring guys to you but that it will bring the wrong kinds of guys to you and explaining to them what they should wear so they don’t look like one night stands. Or we should talk to them and explain why they aren’t old enough to need relationships, etc.

I wonder what it is that makes anime so awesome. :)

I wonder about a bird and his wings. Perhaps to the bird flight is viewed much like we view walking, sometimes tedious, sometimes exhilarating, sometimes it’s just a way from point A to point B, but since birds have feet and thus can walk too but rather fly I choose to believe the more romantic notion- it must be wonderful! I want to be a bird for a day, to spread my winds and stretch them far. To push them down against the air and feel my self propelled, to swoop and dive, and feel the air fighting against me or to bank into it. *sigh* So wonderful.

I wonder what famous authors think when others use their world to write fanfiction. I imagine I would be flattered but it’d be hard to say.

I wonder where my puppy Kitty is and if he’s alright. My mother gave him away nearly five years ago.

I wonder why I wonder certain things. There are many things I don’t have questions about but at the same time I don’t know the answers to the questions I could have. Why is it I question the things I do?

I wonder what it is precisely that helped certain great minds come to the science, philosophy, spiritual, and other stuff altering conclusions other than other people. What was it that made Einstein or Aristotle realize certain things before others? What was it that allowed them to understand or see past what everyone else considered the known universe?

I wonder about my past. So many questions and so few answers. Answers that have no questions and questions that can’t be put into words.

I wonder what people see when they look at me, when they speak to me, when I write to them.

I wonder why… a lot.

I Am, I Think, I Have, I Know

July 25th, 2008

Yays! Wonderful Jo has tagged me for a meme. *big grin* I absolutely love these things and I love answering questions like this. It makes one really think.

I tag… well, anyone who wants it (*pointedly pokes Keiyou*) because I’m feeling lazy and making the links is a pain in the bum since my glasses are missing… er, well, more like misplaced but still, lol.

I am: a story unto myself that is constantly unfolding and being written beneath my feet as if my prints upon the sand were the words I live by.
I think: my brain works differently- more so than I am capable of understanding. Sometimes it’s like my thoughts and the way I see things stem from a different lobe than most people’s.
I know: it will all work out in the end.
I have: more passion than I often know what to do with and it can sometimes get me into trouble.
I wish: I could share my peace and comfort with those who need it most. I also wish, though this is a more selfish one, that I could show my wings to the few very close people who will have understood this comment.
I hate: hate. There are a handful of things I’d like to say I hate but I cannot. There is even a person I would like to say I hate, thought I am ashamed to admit it, but I refuse. To hate something would be to sink down to a level I am not willing to tread.
I miss: my most cherished memories, fleeting moments in time that are so very precious to me.
I fear: the loss of my loved ones.
I feel: constantly on the brink of great discovery.
I hear: tangled thoughts spinning webs between my ears, some meant to entrap me and others meant to set me free.
I smell: nothing. My nose is full of snot. Does snot have a scent?
I crave: safety. Every day feels like a day in the shoes of a foreigner, like I’m in a land of people who’s customs are so unlike my own. It often leaves me feeling unsteady and frightened.
I search: for the right questions to all my answers.
I wonder: about many, many things. For this alone I would have to make a post and a half just to scratch the surface.
I regret: nothing as all things I ‘could’ regret have brought me where I am today and I wouldn’t trade this moment in time for all the riches or knowledge in the realms.
I love: my Hunny, of course. :)
I ache: when I don’t watch the path my thoughts take too carefully.
I am not: who I once was before.
I believe: in what I believe because I have seen, and felt, and touched far too much not to.
I dance: when the words can’t come out fast enough or when the rain is pouring down from the sky with a thunderous appeal.
I sing: utter nonsense… *grin* …to the casual listener.
I cry: a little less with each bit of love I’m given to heal the places in my soul that once were broken.
I don’t always: listen to my own advice.
I fight: the universe from time to time but that’s all part of learning and growing inwards.
I write: and write, and write, and write, and write, and write, and write, and write, and write, and write… to infinity evermore.
I win: every time I am able to help another soul. It brings me great joy just to see someone else smile.
I lose: nothing I don’t willingly give. The universe is full of rewards if we are but willing to brave the rapids of life and go get them.
I never: say things I don’t mean. I’m much too lazy for such a meticulous hobby. Lies are like a knot around me, it’s difficult to remember where the string begins and ends let alone untie the mess without being caught.
I always: have hope.
I confuse: myself from time to time. :)
I listen: with my heart, for even when my hearing diminishes with age it is the ear that will never lead me astray.
I can usually be found: in the midst of weaving words.
I am scared: of an impending moment that I know will come no matter how hard I push fate. There is a chance this moment could break me if I am not given enough time to heal from all my other wounds.
I need: to remember my needs.
I am happy about: so much. Sometimes my newfound smile hurts because I’m unused to grinning so much.
I imagine: I am many people, in many places, with many pasts, presents, and purposes. I wear many faces, genders, and ages, and I walk many paths of life. Such is the awesome’ness of being a crafter of stories.

Thankies for this present of insight Jo. :)

Wedding Update – The Dress!!!

July 25th, 2008

2

Hey, I wrote this on my computer a couple of days ago and then forgot to post it so this first part happened a week ago, the update to this post is directly under it.


For those of you who know what I look like please picture me with an impossibly goofy grin plastered on my face. We went wedding shopping today and, oh my goodness, it was so much fun.

Okay, I absolutely can’t stand to go shopping for clothes. It is the ultimate torture in my mind. Nothing ever fits and if it does it’s because I broke down and looked in the children’s section or got extremely lucky. Worse than clothes shopping is clothes shopping with other women. *shudders* Then I have to try everything on six thousands times in all the possible color schemes and sizes, come out of the dreaded dressing room, and turn a couple of times while I’m poked and prodded just so someone else an tell me what I already know- that it doesn’t fit.

Chances are at the end of that I still won’t come out with what. I want- thus is why I let other people do my shopping for me.. at Christmas time. *wink*

So, as you can imagine I was so completely and utterly relieved when we first decided to make my wedding dress. I’m so happy.

We went pattern and fabric shopping today and I had way more fun than I expected I would have.

Hunny, his mom, and I searched a couple of books (looking strictly in the costume chapters as we’re so doing a Renaissance style wedding) till we found what we were looking for; a dress with these awesome flowing sleeves and a lace up back for me, and a poofy shirt and buckskin pants for him. The patterns were relatively easy to find and we almost certain that the one we picked out for me can be sized down without too much trouble.

Then we set off for fabric. We found a couple couple yards of a rich dark brown fabric with a suave texture for Hunny’s pants and a nice silk white for the shirt. For my dress (eee! I just love saying that- my dress) we found this beautiful fabric called baby silk that reminds me of pouring milk, it’s not quite white but not quite off white either if that makes any sense. We’ll be picking up some gold trim for it after we’ve put the basics together.

I’m so happy I can hardly contain it. Every little thing we do towards the wedding makes this all so much more real. I feel my breath being stolen away from time to time when it hits me in the head that this is ‘really’ happening. Sometimes I wonder though what this man of mine could possibly see in me to make him make such a lifelong commitment as he never makes a decision lightly (and one like this certainly takes a lot more thought than most).

I remember when we first spoke of marriage it was so surreal. It was so soon after a lot of bad things in my life that I was used to promises being broken- to be honest I’m not sure at this point in time any one had ever kept one for me. Still, I had a lot of hope in me and I wanted the happiness he gave me to be forever, love is such a power thing, and I said yes. :) A couple months later into our relationship he brought it up again as we started to tell people and the topic hasn’t dropped since. He really is marrying me.

Nowadays I don’t have those kinds of fears. Not with my Hunny. I know he won’t abandon me and I trust him with me heart. When he says something he means it- a quality that is rare, and restored my faith that there really are good people in this world who don’t have hidden motives or do something only for what they might gain. It’s beautiful.

*sigh* I’d better stop now before I make this one of my uber long posts as you all know how I get. :)


And now for today’s update on this post.

Day before the day before last we took my measurements. :)

Day before yesterday I tried on the the part that will go over my shoulders and a section of the part that will go around my waste. The both fit but we need to tighten it up around my chest (story of my life, lol) and sew the two parts together as well as do the sleeves. :) Not much longer to go now before the dress is gone and I WILL BE POSTING PICTURES!!! :) *sigh* I can hardly wait, after that will be my Hunny’s outfit which at the rate my dress is going should take less than two days to complete. Peace all. :)

Together Again!

July 25th, 2008

This week has been an interesting one to say the least. The month altogether has been pretty busy, more so than I think I’m capable of handling sometimes but I just keep on moving forward amazing myself with the plain and simple fact that I haven’t crashed yet. :)

About a week and a half ago my very best friend in the entire universe sent me an email- to most people this would seem like an ordinary statement but to me it’s the world. See my best friend, Keiyou, and I haven’t been able to get together or talk much since back when I went in foster care this last time. When I got out I had to search high and low to track her down over the internet with just her username and knowledge of her usual hangouts. It took me a couple of months but I finally got her email and later her phone number. Then I was always worried about calling because I didn’t want to get her in trouble and then there was work and then suddenly-

-she moved. *pouts*

But then this great thing happened! She emailed me with her new phone number even though in the end I think she got in trouble for it. I was so impossibly happy. *grins* I didn’t call it much for the same reasons as above but she was always on my mind. I tend to worry about her a lot and occasionally this worry acts like a sixth sense. The day I was getting ready to call her, the week and a half before right now, she sent me that email and because circumstances have changed we’ve been able to spend hours upon hours chatting online darn near every day this week! *bigger grins* I’m so happy.

I’ve never been a very social person and that in itself is one heck of an understatement. I don’t have many people I truly call friend and only one I dare to call my best friend, even my sister by fate.

Keiyou this post is for you!

I started out this post right after I came home from work ready to rant and rave about the injustices of the food and beverage industry, to complain and cry, and possibly make myself feel worse in the end but I can’t. Not when you’ve given me something so happy and exciting to talk about. Thank you Keiyou. May you be blessed with a keyboard free of rice (or was it TicTacs?) and all the anime and manga your brilliantly artistic mind can handle. :)

Peace out KeiKei, my sister of fate.

Purposely Untitled

It has been a busy month. I wish I could say I’m sorry I haven’t blogged, that I feel bad and every day I don’t post I cringe- it would have been the the truth but…

I decided to relax. I’m not going to let this feeling snowball.

That said I’m not even going to both with an update right now. :) I just don’t feel like it. I worked hard this week and it’s about 5 am right now.

Good things in life right now: Hunny, wedding, wedding dress, Kaiyou, the return of a best friend in my life, anime, writing, finishing writing, starting writing, blogging, chat, patient friends, patient readers, randomness, inhaler, soy sauce, sisterhood, love, questions, Keiyou drawing pictures for me, Cheetos, story telling.

Not so good: Homework, time, work but not the work, not being able to adult-nap Keiyou, not having time to tweak my website, not being able to blog, time, time, time, asthma.

And now for some Taoism…

Something mysteriously formed,
Born before heaven and earth.
In the silence and the void,
Standing alone and unchanging,
Ever present and in motion.
Perhaps it is the mother of ten thousand things.
I do not know its name.
Call it Tao.
For lack of a better word, I call it great.

-Tao Te Ching, Ch. 25, the first part.

My Tao of Today

Stories mysteriously formed.
Born of all worlds- mundane and fantastical.
They come from a place deep within, the uncharted waters of my soul.
The craft alone is a constant.
In the hands of the writer it is alive and ever moving, squirming, and becoming something else.
Becoming everything anything, something, and nothing.
There is no way to pin it down with the words I use to catch glimpses of this magick.
Call it Tao.
For lack of a better word, I call it writing.

So Much Has Happened

July 9th, 2008

4

Hello all! I’ve missed you. Sorry I haven’t blogged much these past few days but between writing, work, school, and wedding planning *grin* it’s been a busy month for me and I haven’t had much time to asses my thoughts let alone compose them enough to share them.

So, to get caught up let’s start with the easy stuff and work our way sideways. :)

Wedding - Just thirty some days till the big day! We went shopping today in relation to dresses. For more info on that though you should read my wedding update just a post before this one.

School - I’m half way to the end. :) I have 102 exams total and I just finished my 51st a couple of days ago which brought my GPA up a point (each one counts!) to 84. I have 10 more classes left, 5 of which are electives which will include the last 25 exams. I have 3 writing exams that are as good as done that need to be mailed in and another 6 for biology that I need to complete ‘within’ the next week and a half if I’m to finished by my desired deadline.

I’ve started looking at classes available for electives (more for fun and procrastination than anything else) and I’m thinking I’m definitely going to take Spanish. I would rather take French but they don’t offer it. I love learning languages- I know some Gaelic, lots of Latin, enough Japanese to form sentences or at the very least tell someone off, and half a dozen naughty words in other languages but I don’t think those quite count. ;) I also want to take Psychology because it interests me very much and this is the test period before college so to speak. If I can’t pass the class in high school I’ll know it’s not for me.

Thanks to one of my brother’s and both my friends pointing out a hidden (or not so obvious to me) skill of mine I’m definitely going to take these two computer classes. I hadn’t ever thought about it before but I really love working on my website, I’m good at problem solving, and creating things so programming or web design might be future careers for me somewhere along the lines- if anything the classes could help me hone my hobbies a bit more because I’m a little uncertainly I’d be good at it if I ‘had’ to do it. I’m terrible that way.

So, that’s four classes, three if I decide to only do the one computer class but it seems the two go kind of hand in hand as far as I see it. If I narrow it down to just the three though I want to take a writing class that’s specific to grammar and style. It’s my weak point as far as writing goes. My final choice would be an easy class to finish off with such as Keyboarding. :D I can already type a good deal a minute and who knows I might be able to bring my speed up even more which would certainly help me keep up with my racing thoughts when writing.

I’d take more writing classes, honest, but their selection is a bit dreary. To top it off my target deadline will either be right before or right after the NaNoWriMo (I won’t be doing any schooling during November) and I distinctly remember not writing hardly anything for an entire month afterwards so I’d really rather not ‘have’ to this time around if I can help it.

Work – It’s getting better. We’ve lost some oldies, gained some newbies- some really good hard working newbies that I actually get along with which is nice. I’ve been putting in a lot more hours lately and I’m up to five or six days a week all the way up to the wedding so I’m pretty tired. There’s a lot of not so cool stuff going on that’s a bit complicated to explain so I’m not even going to try. I was going to mention something but I just deleted the paragraph three times so… mayhaps it’s best not to.

Webbing – My site could be going better. From time to time it seems like too much for me to handle. Not the making- I love that, and not the helping of people- I love that even more, but the managing of people and the constantly posting in the forum to keep up with and keep bringing people around. That get’s a bit hard on me and makes me feel a bit stretched thin. I don’t do social well and with everything else going on right now I’m a little worried that it might suffer. We’ll see. Even if it does I know I can revive SH easily but still for all I know I could be losing members at the same time and that bothers me. A lot.

Even though I’m struggling to keep up with my ever growing community website I’m in the midst of plans for another not quite as interactive website. More specifically- a writing related website. I’ve started a private blog where I’m testing some of my ideas out with help from Jo and so far so good but I’m not quite ready to make the plunge yet. I’m ready to commit myself to another project, especially this one since I’d be able to go at my own pace and it’s be more creation than interaction, but I’m not ready to ‘start’ it yet. I’m worried that I might be way out of my league though I know in much sense I’m not and something else seems to be holding me back to but I’m not quite sure what it is yet. It’s as if some part of me just knows now is not the time. A moment will come when I can’t help myself and the idea will spring to life almost of it’s own accord and that will be the time.

My greatest web related prayer is that my friends and Co-Admins in training, Branth and Crystal, have enough patience to bear with my ever changing moods and disappearances on SH. I know they will, but I hope nevertheless.

Writing - I saved this one for last (I think) just because we all know how I can go on and on about this subject.

In the past twelve days I’ve written over 19,000 words for this one story of mine. The outline has been finished, and the main draft is nearly complete. To top it off I already have a second book to it completed outlined. This story, which popped up ever so rudely but thankfully in the midst of one of my other projects, has practically written itself. I had a random idea one day and I went to note it down- next thing I knew I had ten or so pages handwritten back and front and a nearly formed idea in my head. It was awesome.

I honestly think it might be complete (minus the editing process) by September. I’m so proud of myself! :)

I just finished two short stories which as soon as I tuck up the nerve I’ll be sharing on my private writing blog most of you have access to. One of them was written only a few minutes ago- inspired by an image on the television sadly. It was after an episode of Cold Case Files, a man left a white rose on a playground swing. The imagery hit me in the skull with force of, well… blam! :)

On another note I’ve started to seek out freelancing opportunities on the side but I have a feeling that nothing will find me till just after the wedding. Call it intuition, and by then I’ll have less on my plate which will help a ton.

Okay, well, this is a long post. I need food, sleep, and to write down these other few ideas that just attacked me so… night night all. Love and peace to you all. May your days be bright or may you at least be able to search the darkness for the light. May you find happiness, safety, and most of all- love.

I’ll catch up on comments tomorrow.
