    Short, sweet & to the point, eh?

    You're welcome :)

    As always when a gathering exceeds a certain size, I
    don't feel like I got to visit enough with everyone,
    but I hope you had a nice time.

    Love ya, bro!

    I figured something was up; you don't usually write or
    call just to say hi. :P

    Ask away; I reserve the right to say no and/or
    respectfully decline to answer, as any thinking adult
    is free to do. :)

    FWIW:

    Ladydreamtime is not very touchy-feely with anyone, she
    doesn't often show up to things alone or sit and visit
    for very long, and she's not inclined to sit and
    listen to anyone go on about things that don't
    interest her for any length of time. She likes BDSM
    and Musicals and Theatre, and that's what she'll talk
    about at length, and not much else. That's just her
    way, so if that's the way she treated you, that's the
    way she is.

    Nikiyoy     may have been acting protectively towards onyxlynxx.
    I noticed that you were being a little handsy with
    onyxlynxx, and onyxlynxx didn't seem 100% comfy. But I don't
    know if she was uncomfy with YOU, or because it was a
    larger crowd than she's used to, or what. Since onyxlynxx
    didn't actually SAY anything, I didn't take any
    action, but Nikiyoy is a bit more sensitive about such
    things due to her own experiences and may have been
    acting from that.

    Hope that helps.

    Ah ok. Glad to know I didn't smell bad... I'm sorry if I made onyxlynxx
    uncomfortable. I know she's going through some rough shit, guess I was
    overcomforting. I will extend apologies. Nikiyoy didn't seem so much
    protective as just crabby. I wanted to ask who peed in her Post
    Toasties, then thoguht better of it. And sorry, didn't realize I was
    being too touchy feely. Everybody was hugging me... Especially the
    men.
    Umm... K...

    Teh food was yummy. Thoguht that little green guy on the end was cool,

    Hey, don't be bummed, please. I'm not complaining and I had a good

    It's good to get together and laugh and have a good time and shit. I

    Nope, not bummed. I've decided that I had a fun time,
    and since it was my party and my house, that's the
    important part.

    I just wish I could get together with people without
    some of them deciding the next day that they were
    being attacked, or whatever.

    Got your phone message. I was very tired & went to bed
    very early, was not in the mood to get my ass handed
    to me on a plate before I did so, so I did not call
    you.

    I am really not sure what there is to 'fight' about or
    'work out'

    The only "this" that I am aware of is that Monday
    night apparently you was offended by one or more of my
    friends. I'm sorry that happened, I wanted everyone to
    have a pleasant time. However, I don't control your or
    my friends' thoughts or feelings, not everyone in this
    world is going to get along with everyone else. Them's
    the breaks.

    If someone offends you, it's up to you to say,
    immediately and directly, TO the offending party:
    "hey, that's offensive", "hey, let's agree to disagree
    and change the subject", or LEAVE. I am not going to
    force people together who don't get along, we do
    enough of that at Family gatherings.

    If you have a problem with me, you have yet to
    identify what exactly *I* said or did to make *you*
    upset. If there is something I did or said, I am not
    aware of it. Please make me aware of it.

    If this is about Nikiyoy or Ladydreamtime, I cannot and will not
    attempt to control my friends actions or behaviors.
    That is not my problem or my responsibility.

    I'm sorry if you had a bad time, it was really not my
    intention to gather a bunch of people together, spend
    a lot of time and $ cooking and cleaning and preparing
    for their visit, just to make them all miserable.

    Love you, bro.

    Hey, whoa, hold on. I had no problem there.
    I called because I want to know what happened with Skye_ds yesterday
    afternoon. We don't have to talk about it now, and as I said, I don't
    want to fight about it or "hand you your ass".
    When I emailed you yesterday I was not offended by anyone, I was
    worried
    that I had offended somebody else, because I do that. I had a really
    good time and just got worried I had bugged some other people. That
    was
    all. I didn't know you and Skye_ds were having problems until I got
    home.
    Let's not worry about this right now. Go on your vacation, have some
    fun, take it easy.
    I love you, and I don't want to make your life difficult. I think
    we're
    petting the sweaty things, here.

    I've told you before, and I'll tell you again:

    If Skye_ds has a problem with me, then it is up to
    Skye_ds to approach me and work things out.

    I will not have you in the middle of yet another
    'disagreement' with the two of us. And, truthfully, I
    have NO clue why she's upset at me. So if she has a
    problem with something *I* did or said, she needs to
    let me know, directly.

    Cool. Don't worry about it. Let's let things chill while you're gone,
    if
    it's worth it we'll worry about it later. Meantime don't worry about
    it
    now. Me, I'm going to take a nap. --oh wait, I have to answer phones.

    OK

    I am probably going to be at Sharjinka's for
    craft/whatever night tonight (I'd be leaving hte house
    around 7pm, you could try to call me before then,
    maybe?) , and probably poly dinner tomorrow, and then
    Friday I'm going to San Antonio to hang out with Rio.

    But if you wanted to get together to talk 1-on-1
    sometime, everything but Friday is negotiable.

    Lunch or dinner tomorrow, maybe? Dinner tonight?

    Sorry to be getting back with you so late; I was over
    at L&B's all day.

    Posted the icq convo that seems to have been a problem
    in my LJ for you to see; I really don't think I did or
    said anything wrong, and unless A. tells me different,
    I am going to assume she had something else come up
    and needed to go offline.

    Love you.

    Kk. I can call. Lunch tomorrow will probably be doable as well.
    Skye_ds logged off because she had a lot to do and talking to everyone
    was distracting her from her job. This week's been pretty ugly for her
    at work; Hugh's been in litigation, which he hates, and he gets pretty
    nasty over it. Myself, I haven't had time yet to read the entire log
    yet
    (sorry... LJ times out on my big 28.8 connection at home and here's
    been
    busy. Hopefully today will be better)
    I'm sorry because I didn't want to make a big deal of this. I did just
    want to find out what happened in chat that got everybody so snarked
    off. Myself, I have a bone to pick with Sharjinka because I disagree
    with
    her opinion, OPINION, about what is safe and not safe re the horses;
    that I'll take up with her myself. Her passive-aggressive behaviour
    really pisses me off.
    I did have a really good time on Monday. I hope everybody else did
    too.

    Hey, bro.

    I just noticed that your LJ is now deleted.

    I figured your hightly secretive nature would only
    allow you to exist in the LJ fishbowl for a short
    time.

    I would like to be in communication, somehow, at
    whatever level & in whatever medium is comfortable for
    you.

3264Song for today's New Moon

 

    Jun. 6, 2005

     

     

    METALLICA - Don't Tread On Me

    don't tread on me
    so don't tread on me

    liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
    once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
    never begins it, never, but once engaged...
    never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

    so don't tread on me

    so be it
    threaten no more
    to secure peace is to prepare for war
    so be it
    settle the score
    touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore...

    don't tread on me

    love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite
    quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
    shining with brightness, always on surveillance
    the eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

    so don't tread on me

    so be it
    threaten no more
    to secure peace is to prepare for war
    so be it
    settle the score
    touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore...

    don't tread on me

    so be it
    threaten no more
    to secure peace is to prepare for war

    liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
    once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

    so be it
    threaten no more
    to secure peace is to prepare for war
    so be it
    settle the score
    touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore...

    don't tread on me

    MOON IN GEMINI

    Key Words: speed, communication, learning, travel, writing, freeing
    of
    mind blocks

    Indicated Healings:
    Arms, hands, lungs

    When The Moon is in Gemini, things begun now are easily changed by
    outside
    influence. This is a time for shortcuts, communication, games & fun.

    Mercury is the ruling planet for Gemini, therefore the influence of
    spell work
    at this time has a lot of speed.

    The Moon in Gemini will bring friends when asked for.

    The Moon in Gemini rules all communication projects.

    This is a time for giving courage to shy or uncourageous people.

    This is a time for multi-tasking.

    When The Moon is in Gemini, people may become restless or wanting
    change.

    There will generally be a nervous mentality, which leads to talking
    at a faster
    pace & increased physical activity.

    There will be a heightened need for communication on all aspects of
    life or
    talking about things in everyday conversation.

    People will tend to be more curious regarding just about anything.

    There is a need to keep the mind occupied, but when mental activity
    stops,
    restlessness takes over, & physical activity may take over.
    Therefore, this is a
    good time for reading, handiwork or walking.

    In general, there is a lively, intellectual attitude, but people may
    lack the drive
    to see a difficult work project through.

    Ritual Theme & Magical Operations:
    Use this Moon time to honor success, truth & morality.

    Healing & peace magic should be practiced at this time.

    Candles used during this time can be yellow-green, blue, & pink.

    The scent of passionflower will give a peace of mind, which is
    necessary
    during the Gemini Moon.

    New Moon in Gemini Esbat:
    The primary Element in Gemini New Moon is Air.

    The color associated with the Zodiac at this time is orange.

    The basic energy at this time is multi-tasking, adaptability,
    intellect, agility, &
    awareness.

    Magic workings during New Moon in Gemini:
    Rituals & spells for any type of learning or research, spells to
    finish the old &
    move onto the new, help you deal with several projects that you may
    be
    working on at once without flaw, finding a new car or a new job,
    learning
    mental arts (divination tools, meditation, telepathy, psychometry,
    etc.).
    Magic to aid in understanding & dealing with siblings is also very
    good to
    perform at this time.

    Try to avoid doing too many magical operations at the same time.

    Watch out for self-denial.

    evile: Sounds like you had a nice birthday weekend. Weather
    cooperated, too :)
    SkyeDS: yes ma'am. awesome picture, would love to have that as a
    poster or tshirt
    evile: I thought it was very pretty & rather 'you' (horse & birds)
    SkyeDS: anticipating actually camping and more fully experiencing
    that lake when get the chance
    evile: cool :)
    SkyeDS: although I might wait till fall, camping in the summer in TX
    sucks
    evile: yeah. Unless you stay in the water the whole time :)
    evile: we went tubin' in San Marcos yesterday. It was great fun, I
    think that'll become a regular thing this summer.
    SkyeDS: I love tubin. Haven't been in forever. I should ask the
    boys if they want to go at some point, and see what babysitting
    arrangements I can come up with for the children.
    evile: *nod*
    SkyeDS: never having been a squire, but being somewhat knowledgeable,
    I think this:
    SkyeDS: one) take a belt from someone you respect so that you can
    respect your belt and take care of bidness
    SkyeDS: he lost his belt because he didn't respect his knight and
    therefore didn't respect the belt and work for it like he should have
    evile: Sunshine?
    SkyeDS: Sharjinka probably isn't a good teacher, she produced "Sir"
    Jose for fucks sake
    SkyeDS: crap
    SkyeDS: wrong window *sigh*
    SkyeDS: <hands you an eraser>
    evile: heh. that's OK.
    SkyeDS: there's been some hullabaloo over the loss of the belt, a nd
    I was trying to opine safely
    evile: *nod*
    evile: I haven't seen or heard from him in ages.
    SkyeDS: the subject came up at my birthday party and I could
    see "sides" forming up across the table
    SkyeDS: I averted it though
    evile: oh, yuck. I'm glad it didn't turn ugly!
    SkyeDS: the point I've been trying to make is that it takes two to
    tango, and neither Jinx nor sunny were completely blameless,
    neither were either of them singularly to blame
    SkyeDS: and of course both sides will hate me equally for that opinion
    evile: I don't really know enough about the situation to say anything.
    SkyeDS: is that not true of most similar situations generally
    speaking and perhaps painting with an overly broad brush, though
    evile: *nod*
    SkyeDS: Sunshine's take is that Sharjinka sucks
    SkyeDS: Sharjinka's take is that Sunshine sucks
    SkyeDS: to put it in a vastly oversimplified nutshell
    evile: *shrug* Sunshine stole things from her and many others. I
    dont' know if that's Sharjinka's fault or responsibility. Sharjinka
    then did not confront or correct the behavior, she avoided him and
    the situation and allowed it to continue longer than it should have.
    SkyeDS: so my take is, ok, so it's possible that you both suck at
    least in relation to each other, and  Sharjinka had no business taking
    Sunshine as squire if he sucks (student) and Sunshine had no business
    accepting Sharjinka as his knight (teacher) if she sucksSkyeDS: so there.
    SkyeDS: they may or may not have known about the suckage when they
    started out but both of them had a responsibility to end it and not
    drag it out when they discovered the "Truth" about each other.
    evile: yup
    SkyeDS: Sunshine steals things.
    SkyeDS: ok, so how long did it take you to get rid of him when you
    found this out
    SkyeDS: Sharjinka sucks as a teacher
    SkyeDS: ok, so how long did it take you to give the belt back and
    walk away
    evile: *shrug* I found this out and took steps to protect myself and
    my home...but I was fairly Sharjinka like in that I did not confront
    him with my suspicions.
    SkyeDS: there are perks to living as far away as we do.
    evile: yup
    SkyeDS: you weren't his teacher
    SkyeDS: the teacher/student relationship is a somewhat sacred one
    with rules
    SkyeDS: especially knight/square
    SkyeDS: err squire
    evile: *nod*
    SkyeDS: I have to say I'm like Hugh that way though
    SkyeDS: I'd rather passively aggressively provoke a client to fire me
    than to have to fire a client, which is very unpleasant and combative
    SkyeDS: and I know that's hypocrisy in light of my confrontation vs
    behind the back stance
    SkyeDS: but the thing is, clients are not usually polite adversaries
    that can be confronted, they tend to get combative
    evile: *nod*
    SkyeDS: I'm glad that Marshall's parents seem to have decided to fire
    me, without saying a word to me about it
    SkyeDS: we've all gone our separate ways peacefully and quietly
    evile: *nod*
    SkyeDS: and I didn't have to make the torturous decision about when
    to put my foot down and say I'm done with you, don't go away mad just
    go away
    evile: Yup.
    SkyeDS: there are two reasons to inflict corporal punishment on a
    horse
    SkyeDS: biting and kicking
    evile: *nod*
    SkyeDS: because those are the only two things a horse does as
    deliberate declarations of war with intent to maim or kill
    SkyeDS: Mirage has not, in 14 years, EVER bitten or kicked, EVER
    SkyeDS: until that boy, who fucking well knew better
    SkyeDS: put a rope around her neck, twisted it like a noose, and
    tried to lead her that way
    evile: yuck.
    SkyeDS: 1) I wasn't standing close enough to deliver punishment in
    time and 2) I wouldn't have anyway because he deserved it
    evile: yeah
    SkyeDS: but dammit, she may have gone her entire existence never
    kicking or biting were it not for that boy
    evile: yup
    evile: OK. Just finished my quota for the day and I still have lots
    and lots of time before I can clock out. feh.
    evile: bunches of stuffs I could be getting done at home & NEED to
    get done before I leave for IN on Saturday a.m.
    SkyeDS: :|
    evile: Yeah.
    evile: Sholtz Garden is within walking distance...wonder if anyone
    would notice if I disappeared and came back to sign out at 4 :P

    SkyeDS: I am perfecting the fine art of going over someone's head
    without it turning combative or anything less than perfectly polite.
    SkyeDS: it is a pleasure when it works, but tedious, and it annoys me
    to have to do it at all.
    evile: sounds like.
    SkyeDS: you need a lifesize cardboard cutout like at the movies of
    yourself
    SkyeDS: ;)
    evile: hehe.
    SkyeDS: I called to ask for a public record to be faxed to me and
    this admin gives me this line of bullshit
    SkyeDS: so I call back, ask to go up the ladder to whomever can give
    me something that isn't a line of bullshit
    SkyeDS: get the boss's boss, to whom I am perfectly polite, he
    responds perfectly politely, and we shall see how long it takes for
    me to get my simple request fulfilled
    evile: good luck :)
    evile: the wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly.
    SkyeDS: and there is my fax. it's all good.
    evile: excellent :)
    SkyeDS: mom subscribes to the theory that no matter how politely you
    go over someone's head, going over the head is not polite
    SkyeDS: I don't agree.
    SkyeDS: I'm an admin, I know what an admin can and can't do to be
    helpful. And I will escalate if I'm handed bullshit by one of my
    socalled peers.
    SkyeDS: people try to escalate on me all the damn time and Hugh just
    laughs at them.
    evile: there's polite, then there's getting your job done. If you can
    do both, fine. If not, get the job done and apoligize afterwards for
    any ruffled feathers you created along the way, IMHO
    SkyeDS: things are much better in general when people just do right
    to begin with.
    evile: yup

    evile: I'm surrounded by people who do halfass jobs and dont' give a
    shit that it creates more work for others. It's pretty annoying.
    SkyeDS: I bet.
    evile: It's not my favorite thing to do, and I'd rather do other
    thngs, but when I'm here I do what they pay me to do, to the best of
    my ability.
    evile: (no more & no less.exactly what I'm paid to do. So...yeah,not
    the perfect work ethic, but better than 90% of the people here.)
    SkyeDS: I get paid half what I'm worht and work half as hard as I
    ought to
    SkyeDS: but I keep Hugh happy
    evile: that's important.
    evile: Yay! Kulilinei has an interview. *crosses fingers & sends good
    juju*
    SkyeDS: nodnod me too
    SkyeDS: slow for the next little bit
    evile: OK

evile: (clutter)

    evile: hey :) How was your weekend?
    Rhino: Hey, you. =)
    Rhino: My weekend was blessedly uneventful. The weekend before
    involved booze, firearms, and ex-gfs, so I was happy for a dull one.
    evile: *nod* I can see that.
    evile: I could have used another day of weekend. Yesterday was death,
    beer, toobin' & sex.
    Rhino: thats a lot of day packed into one day.
    evile: Yup. Peglegasus and my friend Nikiyoy were traumatized.

    evile: I sort of feel bad for not feeling worse about the death...but
    I really didn't.
    Rhino: Who died?
    evile: We passed an accident on our way to San Marcos to go tubing.
    It looked like a pedestrian vs. an 18 wheeler
    Rhino: Yeah, we know who wins those.
    evile: yup.
    evile: So Peg was drunk and belligerent for the rest of the day and
    Niki was bitchy and truculent. It was neat.
    Rhino: If nothing else, a reminder to enjoy the tube, beer, and sex.
    Rhino: Oooh. Too few people use the word truculent.
    evile: That's pretty much what I thought.
    evile: *gives herself cool points* Gotta use that English degree
    somehow.
    Rhino: heh
    Rhino: I made the mistake of pointing out the development team's
    typesetting and editing problems today. Yeah, guess who got stuck
    with that gig now? =P
    evile: that'll learn ya

    Rhino: Apparently not. Keeping my fool yap shut isnt my long suit,
    it would seem. =)
    evile: heehee. I know that feeling entirely too well :)
    evile: I had a fun time watching Niki go from "Max is kinda cute"
    to "OMG, he's awful!" yesterday. I am really so mean...but people
    just amuse me.
    Rhino: Who is Max?
    evile: oops, sorry, Peglegasus=Max
    Rhino: heh.
    Rhino: the two didnt hit it off, huh? bummer. she's cute and seems
    pretty smart from her lj.
    evile: yeah, she is. But, in some really fundamental ways, she is 22
    years old. Which becomes very obvious when she gets overwhelmed
    Rhino: *nod* I dated a 21 yr old a couple years ago. Ran into the
    same thing. Then there was the whole Hello Kitty/Furbie/Brittney
    obsession thing. *shudder*
    evile: *snicker* yeah. She's smart & cute, and in some ways very
    ahead of the game. but also somewhat selfish, shallow, and fickle. I
    am sure I was worse at that age :P
    evile: Niki likes Happy Bunny.
    Rhino: Heh
    Rhino: Yeah, I decided that no matter how attractive or libidinous or
    culturally literate, I wasnt dating chix doing their "I'm hot and I
    know it and its a privlege to spend your time with me" phase anymore.
    evile: Good plan. I'm in my Goddess years, so I know I'm hot & have
    better things to do than chase boys, but I'm not a snot about it...I
    don't think, anyway.
    Rhino: *nod* Women are at their best when they move from vain and
    selfish to confident and assured.
    evile: I'm still pretty selfish, IMHO. Heck, it 's one of the main
    reasons I have cats, not kids.
    Rhino: Selfish by itself isnt awful. Vain + selfish = poor company
    evile: I'm probably vain too. *shrug* But I try not to be obnoxious
    about it :)
    evile: I'm vain, yet confident. I guess that makes the difference. I
    don't need anyone to tell me I'm hot, I don't need to be the star of
    the show.
    Rhino: Those are the best. Mrowr.
    evile: :) I think so.
    evile: I notice myself typing : and " in ICQ because I've been going
    back on tinyTIM

    Rhino: Im glad Im not the only one who does that. =)
    evile: Silly.
    Rhino: man, is it 330 yet?
    Rhino: hell, is it friday yet?
    Rhino: <head-desk/>
    evile: I hear ya. I have so much to do before Saturday, work time is
    taking away from my 'getting stuff done" time.
    evile: How are you enjoying your vacation from LJ, BTW?
    Rhino: So far so good. I need to set up some filters or something.
    Between Angie and my mom, the two of them beat me up about everythign
    I say on there. I hate to start locking my posts but sweet pan-fried
    jesus, its just a blog. know what I mean?
    evile: *hugs*
    evile: Yeah...I hate that. I've had to invent a bazillion filters for
    just that reason. Some daysI think I should just go the way of my
    brother sineater and delete the whole mess.
    Rhino: I've given it some thought.
    Rhino: Hell, ive been thinking about chucking the crackberry into
    Lake Calhoun and carrying a real phone where people can't email me on
    it. I totally stopped bringing my laptop to the coffeehouse with
    me. Its just a moleskine, a couple of pens, and my ipod.
    evile: there ya go.
    Rhino: convergence is highly overrated.
    evile: I might have to get that tattooed on myself somewhere...
    Rhino: LOL
    Rhino: I keep thinking about some new ink. Or maybe getting my
    earrings put back in.
    evile: maybe translate it into kanji first so it'll look pretty.
    evile: I still didn't get my birthday handcuffs.
    Rhino: Arabic is much prettier than kanji. =)
    evile: in this political atmosphere, I don't think I want arabic on
    me permanently.
    Rhino: heh
    evile: then again, I'm sure that once we're done with the middle
    east, it will be on to the next set of enemies. It's all very 1984
    these days.
    Rhino: yeah, that whole end of the cold war didnt mean peace, it just
    meant looking for a new bad guy.
    evile: Gotta keep our corporate buddies in bidness, after all.
    Rhino: =)
    evile: *sigh* cynicism gives ya wrinkles, I hear.
    evile: OK. done with my daily quota, can't leave til 4:30, and have a
    ton of stuff to do at home. *sigh* They really ought to let me drink
    at work.
    Rhino: agreed!
    Rhino: its noon somewhere.
    evile: There's a nice bar within walking distance...wonder if anyone
    would notice if I disappeared and came back to sign out at 4:30 :P
    evile: Oh, ack. Niki just put her foot in the fire ant hill over on
    my looney SIL's LJ. This ought to be interesting.
    evile: yes, my SIL is bugfuck, but it really doesn't do anything to
    bring it up in conversation.
    evile: I am practicing the "ignore it and maybe it will go away"
    school of thought these days.
    Rhino: LOL
    Rhino: thats my favorite
    evile: *nod*
    evile: And little discordian banishing rituals every new moon.
    Rhino: I prefer bashing rituals. *WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP*
    evile: *giggles* (yes, you made me giggle out loud at work...)

    What a great mental image THAT is. :)
    evile: Well, I'm going to run around putting paper in other people's
    boxes and maybe pilfering in the supply closet. That should kill the
    last few minutes :)
    Rhino: have a good evening. =)
    evile: *hugs* Happy Monday :) Thanks for helping me pass the time.
