Ginger beer is a mighty fine thing.
I had a strong urge to post, earlier, but now I'm actually sitting down at the keyboard, I can't think why. I'm currently being paid to stand around and read for sixteen hours of my weekend, but I'm not complaining. We've started painting in Art; I've done the underpainting, and it already looks cool. Just have to not fuck that up. It lead to awkward experiences trying to get someone to model for me, which means that I now have a photo of one of my classmates in my folder. Kinda weird.
I'm all psyched about my CAPP project. It's going to be all about how The Man portrays drugs, and how people need to educate themselves before using drugs. I want to do some interviews, and also compare interpretations of objective evidence (i.e. most cocaine users have used pot could mean that marijuana use leads to hard drug use, or it could mean that most heavy drug users began by using, er, lighter drugs?) I'm also considering bringing in brownies. ^_^ My teacher's a little scatterbrained.
Here comes the water.
All I knew and all I believed
are crumbling images
that no longer comfort me.
I scramble to reach higher ground,
some order and sanity,
or something to comfort me.
So I take what is mine,and hold what is mine,
suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine.
Soon the water will come
and claim what is mine.
I must leave it behind,
and climb to a new place now.
This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.
Thought I was high, and free.
I thought I was there
divine destiny.
I was wrong.
This changes everything.
The water is rising up on me.
Thought the sun would come deliver me,
but the truth has come to punish me instead.
The ground is breaking down right under me.
Cleanse and purge me
in the water.
I feel as though I'm entering a stage where I'll have to pare myself down to the necessary core. I recognise that my concept of rebirth and progress centers around destruction of the old, and that's probably not the only way. But I want to reject, refine, rid myself of all my impurities. I feel the constant tug of old patterns, and that makes me angry with myself. I remind myself that I am only eighteen, but still, I want to have everything and be everything now. Why exist if you are not the best, the most, the highest that ever was? I need to learn contentment.
I often lament the distinct lack of snack foods in the house. Nevermind starving children in Africa, these are some severe snack needs lying unfulfilled.
Ryu
You scored 10 in Malice and 29 in Chaos!
Japanese dragons, or "Ryu," are very different from their Western counterparts; where the Western dragon is typically reptilian, with a heart as cold as its blood, the dragons of the Orient actually tend to err more on the side of beneficence. This should not, however, be construed as a license to treat them with disrespect; Oriental dragons are extremely powerful beings who do not tolerate impudence.
Ryu, like the dragons of the West, are known to have a fondness for shiny objects and treasure. Some Ryu are willing to part with their treasures if they deem a mortal worthy of inheriting it. Other dragons may also, like gods, grant wishes and supernatural powers to those who seek them.
At the same time, one must be wary when dealing with dragons; some may be extremely temperamental, and others even harbor a hatred for mankind and its desecration of the earth. Most dragons are by no means evil, but must still be treated with extreme caution.

Isis
Indeed, you are 79% erudite, 70% sensual, 45% martial, and 62% saturnine.
This Egyptian supreme Goddess is certainly the most influential deity on subsequent cultures. She was the ideal figure of womanhood, usually compared with the Greek Goddess Demeter or her Roman version, Ceres.
Isis was one element of a Holy Trinity, the remaining two figures being her brother and husband Osiris and their heroic son Horus. She was the Goddess of Magic for her brilliance, as well as the Goddess of Love because of her tenacious devotion.
She is often shown with wings, curving to caress coffins and sarcophagi of many a king. In certain papyri she is shown with her falcon wing headdress, covering her ears. One of her sacred symbols is the sistrum, a musical instrument that was believed to ward off evil spirits. Isis' sistrum was carved bearing the image of a cat and was representative of the Moon.
Isis was the High Priestess and an omnipotent magician as well as the only being ever to discover the secret name of Ra. She invariably carries the ankh, the symbol for eternal life. Her name is, by the rules of numerology, adding up to the number “2” and she just so happens to be depicted on the tarot card “Key 2 - The High Priestess”.
