evile: there you are! How's your day going?
SkyeDS: it goes
SkyeDS: beautiful day outside, would rather be playing lol
evile: yup. me too.
evile: I'm leaving at 3:30 today, so I think I'll go for a big walk.
Pop by the library, see the nice houses, etc.
SkyeDS: long the Bremond Block?
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: used to drive carriages round there. wish I belonged to that
family y a know?
evile: hehe. yeah.
SkyeDS: I got around the beasticrat for Gulf Wars by volunteering to
teach children's classes about Period Parrots.
evile: oh, fun.
SkyeDS: actually wasn't even my idea, was Laura's (the KEO)
SkyeDS: rather neat way of getting around the no pet rule, I thought
evile: *nod*
evile: only 2 and I'm about to be done with my quota for today..*sigh*
SkyeDS: double edged sword sounds like
evile: yup
evile: ugh. someone brought their baby and everyone is standing
around making oogy noises, while it makes little squeaky noises
itself. I'm DEFINITELY not going to get any work done while that shit
is going on.
SkyeDS: :(
evile: And then I get in trouble for quietly wasting my own time,
while 8 people stand around the squealing fleshloaf, making oogy
noises....un fuckin believable.
evile: heh. Niki is too funny....like I'm 21 and flexible like her.
the minx.
evile: I am _so_ spanking her at the next party!
SkyeDS: <giggles>
SkyeDS: oh look, Eeyore's for once is not the same weekend as an SCA
event.
SkyeDS: imina call them and ask what we can do to be
vendors/volunteers.
evile: the next party of course happens to be the same weekend as
Mardi Gras in Galveston with the rennies.
evile: When is Eeyore's this year?
SkyeDS: I notice Austin is having Carnavale in February
SkyeDS: I've never heard of Carnavale in Feb but what the hell, any
reason to party I guess
evile: *nod* that's an annual event. I have never been.
SkyeDS: April 30
evile: Actual Mardi Gras day is feb. 8 this year, so carnevale in Feb
is not that freaky.
evile: April 30 is the weekend of the Io Pan campout. Of course.
SkyeDS: I'm not sure they'll let me in
SkyeDS: probably depend on w hether I can get HFS or SCA backing
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: but I bet I can get the Shire of Morconor to back me, even if
Barad Duin or the SCA won't.
SkyeDS: by that time there should have been elections and new
officers in Morconor
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: hint: if you want us to return your call, answer your phone
LOL
evile: ?
evile: I hate phone tag. I'd rather do email.
SkyeDS: am fielding phone calls
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: dadgum but these people talk more than I do
evile: *grinz*
SkyeDS: methinks I listen better than I'm given credit for generally
speaking
SkyeDS: worth it though, because most of these people then tell Hugh
how charming his "girl" is.
evile: there ya go. Sounds like a winning strategy.
SkyeDS: I'm here to do things he can't do/won't do
SkyeDS: like listen for hours to drivel
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: and be a dragon when payment isn't made for services rendered
evile: Today during phone duty, my last caller sounded just like W.
It was eerie.
SkyeDS: lol except we know that he isn't out of a job, at least not
today
SkyeDS: all the shows I watch before I leave for work were preempted
(boo)
evile: unfortunately.
SkyeDS: he put God into his inauguration every chance he got, stuffed
into every nook and cranny, no doubt to be antagonistic.
SkyeDS: not like I care but lots of people will.
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: God is God is God to me, I don't see any need to argue over
God the way I know God vs someone else's
SkyeDS: but most people are like that
SkyeDS: so he no doubt offended lots of Jews, Muslims, everyone else.
evile: personal religion is fine, but dont' go pushing that fundie
right wing ideology off on people.
evile: If you think that's what god wants you to do, well fine, go do
it.
SkyeDS: I don't much care about inauguration because I figure, it's
his party, who cares.
SkyeDS: if a Jew, Muslim or HIndu got elected and had Jewish, Muslim
or Hindu oriented ceremonies, so what.
evile: never happen, but if it did, yeah.
SkyeDS: and, the next time I have a classroom under my control, if I
feel the need to post rules, I can post the Covenants of Stregheria
(minus the keep t he sabbath holy one obviously)
SkyeDS: without the title, Covenants
SkyeDS: with no problem
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: just like anyone else could post the 10 commandments, minus
the sabbath/no other gods ones
SkyeDS: without calling them the 10 commandments, no big.
evile: might also want to leave otu the stuff about sex...no real
reason to be talking about that with minors.
SkyeDS: people are so silly with their labels.
SkyeDS: Covenants don't have sex in t hem.
evile: Oh, I thought they had stuff about sex and marriage. whoops.
SkyeDS: that's from t he Gospel of Aradia. different text.
evile: ok
SkyeDS: tis like diff between 10 commandments and say, the gospel of
john
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: although, I think you can boil it all down, as Christ did,
into two commandments
SkyeDS: Christ's were, love God more than anything else, and love
your neighbors as you love yourself
SkyeDS: pretty succinct summation of the original Mosaic 10, methinks
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: when I was teaching, there was only one commandment, RESPECT
evile: hell of a lot more managable than Leviticus ;)
SkyeDS: for me, for each other, for property. easy.
evile: yup
SkyeDS: you know that atheist who got the 9th Circus all upset
over "under God" in the pledge tried to stop the inauguration over
prayer.
SkyeDS: Neudow his name is
evile: wow.
SkyeDS: see, when all that gets mentioned is God, no Christ, no other
trappings, legally you have a problem
SkyeDS: because God is metnioned in the Declaration of Independence,
in the preamble to the Constitution
SkyeDS: and is all over our money
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: simply bringing up God's name, is not establishing even
Christianity (as opposed to Judaism or Islam)
evile: It's time for me to scoot. I like phone duty days :)
SkyeDS: wind to your wings belleza :)
evile: *hugs* good luck with the phone crazies :)
