This is a short tiny post, sort of to remind myself that I'm still alive, and that I've got posts I want to make here (talk about totemism and why it appeals to me, make contact with the local Asatru and ADF groups and find out if they're cool or not. ADF does look cool. Their deity set-up as I understand it on the website seems a little bit too ( Read more... )

I am thankful for my family, with its bonds of love and friendship that allow us to stay 'together' and stay sharing. The fact that I have to swap off holidays with one parent and one house or another is a trifle and an inconvienience. I'm thankful for my Dad's continued patience and good humor with me, his paying for my college tution (as much as ( Read more... )

I made some bad decisions academically this week that are going to somewhat hose my GPA. Dad won't like that--he'd much rather be paying the tuition of a student that's pulling better than a 3.0 and I'm not sure I'm gonna pull any A's this semester. But I'm not going to mope about that because what I need to do is keep going forward.

( I went this nifty workshop Friday night )

So. Looks like Obama's gonna be our next President. Excellent. I feel optimistic and hopeful about the future of our country, which is a nice change. Even doubly so, seeing as this was the first presidential election I got to vote for. I'm still annoyed we don't know the results for a few of the really close races like Indiana and North Carolina ( Read more... )

Well, I voted. Obama, Biden, and the Democratic incumbent in the House of Representatives. Apparently Baltimore county has a good bond rating, so I decided to okay all of the 'create-a-bond' to pay for this new measure stuff on the county ballot. Voted yes on the early voting initiative, voted a still-somewhat uncertain no on the addition of video ( Read more... )

This is a short mini-placeholder for form's sake, because my goal for this month is that while all those crazy other folks are tackling their NaNoWriMo novels, I'm going to see if I can blog something and provide a little content here everyday. I've got a pretty interesting backlog of the last week (And even yesterday!) to work on, but I want to go ( Read more... )

So, after the pretty damn positive response from all corners of people-who-read-this-tiny-blog, I resolved to start actually posting regularly. I sort of wanted to do it the very day afterwards, but I like to provide content and all, and "Hey, looks like I'll try and post more after all!" isn't much in the way of content. If I wanted to do that, I ( Read more... )

So recently I've been doing a bit more here and there on various pagan communities or journals here on LJ. I've friended several rather interesting folks, and been friended in turn. I always feel a little bit sheepish about that second part, because I provide essentially no content on my actual Livejournal. I post about once a season when I'm in a ( Read more... )

Otakon was a whole frickton of fun that I'll take about later. So has been helping Chris out with his Avatar d20 project. That is, Avatar the Last Airbender, and how to play it with the 3.5 DnD system. But mostly this is an excuse to show off the fruits of entirely too many screen refreshes at that damn "Get your own dragon!" website that's so damn ( Read more... )

So I'm going to whip out a it's-finally-good-and-spring HOORAY! post because, well, life has been pretty awesome. The plums and forsynthias are in bloom, I had a killer time hanging out at Turning Wheel with Jess and John and two other neat people that happened to wander in. We played Pass-the-Energy-Ball, which was a fun first. I am returning home ( Read more... )
