Got my results back from exams today--a B for Psych (1 off an A, goddamnit), and another in Socio (this time 6 off an A). I'm happy with that...

Now is the time to stop fretting and start returning my attention to my neglected gods. :)

Tonight, my mum & her best friend going out with some other friends, from about 7 onwards. Makes me aware of how little I have a life, but eh. Getting drunk for a purpose or for a party can be fun; just for the sake of it, not so much. I have better things to spend my money on--and yes, I'm aware of how sad that makes me. :D

In better news, my ( Read more... )

I've got two exams coming up - a Sociology A2 exam this Friday, and then a Psychology A2 exam the Friday after. I've been revising Sociology mostly since Monday of last week (as in concentrated and proper revision; not just idly glancing at my sheets), when we had a mock exam, in which I got 30 out of 60. Now we had a mock again yesterday, same ( Read more... )

Just jumping on quick. Honest, I'm revising still. Shh ( Read more... )

Since I follow a monthly & solar calendar (I have enough fun remembering solar days of the month - lunar calendars just don't work for me), I honour Aphrodite on the fourth of the month. And today, after a shitty day of cold, cold and college, I got given a present, randomly--a lovely little bracelet with four charms/tags: a circle with 'HOPE' ( Read more... )

I woke up to find ice in the bathroom windows. The car was frozen over; we couldn’t even see through the windows. Both the inside and the outside of the car windows were frozen, and it took ten minutes or so to unfreeze them. It’s -7C (which is about -19F); according to the weather channel, it’s the coldest it’s been for twenty five years ( Read more... )

Whilst out today, walking the dog (after falling on my ass for the first time since the snows started a week or so ago - damned ice), I came to the group of dark trees at the edge of the park that remind me so vividly of Artemis. The darkness stretched from tree to tree; I saw a gang of black birds (I don't know the exact species) and three ( Read more... )

Last night, I had (after finally sitting down and writing my thoughts on Sobek) a fairly strange dream. Usually, my dreams are full of rambling nonsense, when I actually remember them - for example, I once dreamt that Jesus was my foster brother and that we owned a pet blue-and-black rat that lived in a small plastic box. Go figure ( Read more... )

So okay, since Thursday I've had Hesykhia on my mind, almost-constantly. It started when I passed some people loading a coffin into the back of a hearse, and continued most pressingly on my walk to college. I was, and have been, considering the place of Hesykhia as a companion/herald of Hypnos, and as a khthonic goddess in her own right. (Though ( Read more... )
