I mowed the grass today, again with Aunt Tudi's invaluable help. It's not so bad with two people working on it, but it's still hellacious and we were both wet with sweat and limp as rags by the time we came in from the horror. At the time we mowed, the temp was 85 degrees with 88% humidity. It was like mowing seaweed in warm, stinky pudding.
Llew is wanting to do something tomorrow. What? I don't know. I just felt myself shiver with antici...................................................................pation. He and I had a long conversation yesterday morning that restored my faith and quelled my hormonal doubts. I hate it when my negativity overcomes me and controls my thoughts and feelings. Most of the time I consider my pessimism and cynicism to be an asset and litmus test by which I guide myself in this vale of tears but, when the Moon is upon me, such Dark Practices become a liability as they're turned against me and my better judgements. It sucks.
Oh, I heard from Barry today. The long North American drives are freaking him out a little and he's a wee bit disappointed at concert turnout. I have a feeling that the further West he gets, the better the attendance will be. I hope so, for his sake. Sometimes, I get the feeling that he is, in many ways, a very fragile person and I don't want him harmed in any way. It's been aeons since I cast any spells, but I'm thinking seriously about dragging out my Webs of Shelter chant and lighting a candle. He's already given me permission to do things like that.
And, without further ado, a survey I hijacked from

age: 35
where do you live? Upstate South Carolina, aka The Armpit of Hell
tell me your most dreamiest of dreams: to live in a polyamourous hippie commune on
the coast of Maine
tell me five beautiful things: Bulgarian Chants, the Sea in a Tempest, the Full
Moon in Autumn, Snow at Midnight, Johnny Depp as a Pirate
what is christianity to you? a beautiful religion, based upon the teachings of a
man who could have easily been a 60's Hippie, that has been hijacked by a system against
which Christ railed and, by railing against said system, was summarily murdered by it.
what is your favorite fruit? blueberries
do you play any musical instruments? a variety of ethnic drums, but not regulary
and not very well
what's a good movie? ::shoves hand in a hat filled with the names of her favourite
movies and she draws out:: The Secretary
favorite board game? Monopoly
what makes you roll your eyes? successful morons
describe yourself in three words: surly, cynical, loving
which is scarier: the hospital, a cemetery, or getting an injection? the hospital
love is: that which makes us the strongest we've ever been at the same time making
us the weakest we've ever been.
what's your favorite song at the moment? "MuargMaurg" by Barry Andrews
describe the last dream you remember having: I dreamed I had the opportunity to by
a large brick home for $11,500, but it was between two houses filled with beer-guzzling
rednecks and it was on a hill so steep that you needed a plane to get to work in bad
weather.
what's your favorite season and why? Autumn because it teaches us a lesson few of
us take to heart: that death can and should be a beautiful and cyclical experience.
what gives you butterflies in your stomach? stress
confess something to me: I want to get married.
if money were no object, what would you do with your life? Travel the world over
and finish writing that book I've always wanted to write.
what crime should carry the most severe prison sentence? Being a politician
are you holding a grudge against someone right now? if yes, why? Yes. My
cousin for whom Aunt Tudi was the support person when she got her kidney transplant,
abused Aunt Tudi and essentially kicked her out of her house after Aunt Tudi's heart
surgery. Aunt Tudi was staying with Erica for approximately a month after she was
released from the hospital to give me time enough to scour the house of cat dander and
install air filters. After two weeks, though, Aunt Tudi asked to come on home
because Erica was being mean to her. She had to come home to a half-ready house and
battle allergies when it about killed her to cough or especially sneeze and this, after
she waited on Erica hand and foot for almost 3 months. So yeah.....I've got a big
ole grudge going on.
what do you like best about yourself? My unswerving loyalty and devotion to the
ones I love.
what do you like least? My inability to control my emotions. I used to be
able to do that, but I can't anymore.
do you sing in the shower? Naaah.
what do you do when you are sad? Boo Hoo and write about it in my LJ
what do you do when you are excited? Usually just smile a lot
what do you think about before falling asleep? Since I saw 'Ringu', I usually think
about Sadako. Baaaad mistake.

because it is absolutely a Divine Poem.
do you like poetry? if so, what poets? I like it for the most part, yeah. I
love Lord Byron.
what do you think happens to us when we die? We advance to the next grade and
eventually get to graduate and take what we've learned and put our piece of the puzzle
into the great framework that's trying to figure itself out.

possible...or Peace. Just PEACE. Peace of mind and of heart. Peace on
Earth. Peace.

Worst
what did you learn today? Canadian borders patrols are apparently quite strict.
