I think today was the first day of the winter season that it felt like the darkness was beginning to retreat. I know that winter will hold sway for another 1-2 months, but it felt like it was receding. I felt Thistle's presence, and it was reassuring. Evening sunlight streamed through the window of the room that houses my elliptical machine (I was doing a workout) and it almost felt like I could look at the sun. I didn't, since I know it's dangerous to this merely human form. But I know that Thistle can see the sun and no light can harm him. Of course, angellic beings sense things differently.
I am glad tht the light is returning.

So... A while ago I started an account on Second Life (as Symmetrica Indigo) and I picked up a completely adorable avatar that looks like a giant butterfly. One of the first things I noticed is that almost everyone is happy to see a giant butterfly show up in their environmant (aka their sim). Well... one of my "playmates" on SL (not sure what else you'd call it, heh heh) got a giant butterfly avatar for herself (in a different color scheme than mine). Well, she was abit bummed out because of some things going on in her real life (aka RL in SL-speak) so I offered a hug. Well... the "hug" animation between two butterflies is just about the most precious, most adorable thing I've ever seen! :) Very, very cute.

You'd have to see it to believe it... but here's what I saw at the local 7-11 this morning.
I had stopped by the 7-11 on the way to the Evensong service and I saw the owner and this rather unsavory-looking customer having an argument. The owner was tired of this dude hanging around and not buying anything. The ghetto dude looked like he hadn't bathed in about 4-5 days. But he most distinctive feature was that he had had his nose pierced with a zip-tie. That's right, folks: he had a 8" long zip-tie going horizontally through his nose as if it was some sort of plastic mustache or something. Egads!!!
So the ghetto bum said something like, "You'z cain'ts be tellins me I'z gots ta go!"
The owner said, "Buy something or go!"
The ghetto bum called him a Muffukkah.
So I told the owner (loudly enough for Zip-Tie Dude to hear), "Just call the cops. Loitering is a prosecutable offense".
Zip-Tie Dude called me Honk Muffukkah. Ha ha ha!
Well, Zip-Tie his the sidewalk when the owner actually picked up the phone and called the cops. I walked out too after I finished paying for my coffee. Zip-Tie was swaggering around with two of his trashy junkie-homies and were collectively muttering in ebonics about how .deh is be gots deh rights, yo!" Ha ha ha ha.
But I have to ask: How can you take seriously anyone with a zip-tie theough his NOSE?! Ugh!

Doug was away for a week visiting his mom and his sister (who's still battling cancer). I really missed him last week, so I'm glad he's back. We went to Dread Lobstrosity for dinnner. I also got an odd marguirita -- it was BLUE! We had a great time. It's so nice having him home.
I think my integration will restabilize now that I'm not alone all the time. I actually manged to not cut myself while he was gone!

Well... we did a great Evensong service in church at Charles Village. Unlike our usual church, we were located at he *front* of the church where we could be seen by the congregation. Egads! i was not used to actually being SEEN! Wow! it was quite intimidating. I did not factor stage fright into the performance!
Fortunately, other than my heart beating about 150 bpm for the whole service, everything went flawlwssly. My favorite piece, the Change Ring, was totally awesome!

I was able to get my security clearance renewed for another two years. Yay! It's good knowing that I can keep getting junkie bums locked up! [ 2 comments ] ( 9 views ) | [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink |

Well... this week is probably going to be dull since Doug is visiting his mom and sister this week. Basically, he gets 3 weeks per year and I get only two, so that's that.
But I haven't done too much moping. I got some things accomplished this weekend:
-- Jogged 8 miles Saturday, 3.5 miles yesterday, and 5.6 miles today. New weight=184.
-- Chapter 51 of "I, Construct" is finished and uploaded (go to www.gaianar.com and click Downloads)
-- I did some work on the Gaianar campaign I'm running in two weeks (the Sunlight Realm campaign, where the heros have to find a way to restore the power of the sun).
-- I did a whole bunch of chores (blech).
So... I kept busy. But I sure do miss Doug. :( i'll be glad when he's home.
I think my integration is starting to go back together (that's a good thing). I didn't have any periods of dissociative numbess today (a harbinger of Halo's awakening), and I didn't feel that I was in danger of falling into the background. So things are getting better.

I did a super-workout today. I did 8.2 miles at the gym, which burned 1,220 calories. Yay! [ 1 comment ] ( 6 views ) | [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink |
