I come to g-blog every day, and I read (most of) what everyone writes on here, and honestly I’m amazed. I’m amazed at the amount of things people actually have to say — about their lives and those in their lives. I suppose it’s the fact that someone can actually come here and post a “blog” entry as if they were writing a personal journal entry. At some point, it transformed for me. I don’t really view g-blog as a blog anymore. I see it more as a community, so I rarely post anything without expecting SOME sort of response (which, let’s face it, is not the same thing as journaling).
(Before anything gets misconstrued, I meant nothing against anyone who posts personal journal entries here!! If it sounded that way, it wasn’t meant to, so please don’t take it as such.)
I’ve learned about so many new and different things since I’ve been coming here. Dancing, Polyamory, Dickens Faire, etc. I think I’m most intrigued by the whole polyamory bit. It’s almost like when I started learning about paganism. I had this –feeling– that perhaps I would fit well with it. Polyamory seems a tad bit the same way. I doubt seriously I could ever do it, though. In mentioning it to Draaz, he definitely said he couldn’t. Still, the idea seems fascinating to me. Call me sheltered, but I honestly never knew people chose lives like that. I mean, I had heard about “open” marriages before, but I always thought of it in a “sex only” type context… not as in multiple relationships going on at the same time. I remember the first time I read one of DifferentVision’s entries, I was shocked. Not shocked as in, “*GASP* I can’t believe those horrible people do that,” but just — shocked. I had never thought about it before, and I certainly didn’t understand it. However, as the months have gone on, and I’ve read more, it has begun to make more and more sense to me. So, thanks to all of you guys for giving me a bit more knowledge about something. 
The more days that pass in my life, the closer I come to a realization. I shouldn’t stay here forever. Perhaps I could be content (or close to it) if I stayed here forever, but I don’t think I will ever be truly fulfilled as long as I remain. It just doesn’t… FIT me for some reason. Seems like all the people I meet and learn to care about are thousands of miles away in some direction or another. I could curse the internet for that…. or I could thank the internet for that…. perhaps both? I’m sure most of you know what I mean.
I’ve felt a change in my life over the past few weeks. I don’t know if it’s because I actually found a pagan group close enough for me to include myself in participation, or if I have just gained some kind of personal acceptance of the lines along which my spiritual path lies, or perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I involved myself in something tangible which I enjoyed (and in which I did well), or perhaps it is something that was triggered by a conversation/discussion here on g-blog. Whatever it was, I’m thankful. I’ve played my guitar some, I’ve been writing some (just personal journaling — not writing writing), and I’ve been listening to new music. (Thanks to E music.)
I’m semi-close to actually being “happy.” Wow.

Yes, baking!
Delicious food is baking right now as I type!!!
Last night I baked Amaretto Divine (minus the chocolate cause I tried to melt it in the microwave and burned it.. UGH.. but it’s still DELICIOUS), and today I’m baking Chocolate Lovers’ Favorite Cake and Pumpkin Crisp .
drools
We are having other food, but I was in charge of the sweet stuff, so I just went all out!
Happy T-day to everyone celebrating!

… I’m going to grow a dick, buy a motorcycle, and learn how to hunt!!! Perhaps that way I won’t be faced with such blatant fucking sexism on such a regular basis. That way I can come to work every day, do NOTHING all day long, and then leave early.
BLATANT…. blatant….
Pisses me off.

Why do people like to fuss and worry and fret over small tiny little things.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’ve done (and do) my share of this on occasion — when I don’t feel well or am really tired or what-have-you. However, there are some people who seem to thrive off this kind of thing. They totally stress themselves out, never taking time to do anything they WANT but rather worrying about what they SHOULD be doing.
I just don’t get it.
Whose life is it, after all?

I had quite an eventful weekend.
My daughter and I have been involved in the local theater group working on a “Reader’s Theater” production for the past month or so. We finally had our performances this past weekend. After a week’s worth of every-night rehearsals and a three-hour round-trip car drive for my grandmother’s funeral on Saturday AND an hour drive to see Harry Potter (2 hrs 40 mins) on Sunday, my ass was DRAGGING!!!!
It was very much worth it, though. I’ve not done acting (aside from small Opera roles) since I was in high school, and I SO enjoyed it! I also did very well, if I do say so myself. I generally have problems with being on stage and “looking stupid,” which will kill you when trying to act. Luckily, the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve been able to abandon that fear. As a result, I turned out a few little decent performances this weekend, and I am totally psyched waiting for the next production! (I even got to be one of the witches from Macbeth for a short scene!!! hehehehehehehehe)
Of course, it goes without saying that Logan was superb!! 
She is only 8, after all, and this was her first acting “gig.” She did a small excerpt from Beatrix Potter’s Tom Kitten where she was Tabitha (the mama cat)… TOO CUTE!!! I’m so very proud. I wish I had some pics from the performance. I would post them here if I did.
On Sunday, Draaz and Logan and I went to see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. EGADS was it good!!! Had it not been for the totally uncomfortable seats (big butts + small seats = discomfort), the length wouldn’t have even been noticeable! I must commend these movie makers on capturing the essence of the writing of J.K. Rowling. The manifestations of her imagery are DEAD on…. that is so rare…. GO SEE IT!!!
I don’t know that I’ve ever written this much on here (except in that one ex-husband post). Wow.

In browsing around the website for Invision Board , I came across IPS Hosting’s plans and prices. I almost fell out of my chair!!!!!
But, before I go switching domain hosts (again), I wanted to find out if anyone knew anything about IPS’s hosting services. If anyone can recommend — or recommend against — their service, please post your opinions for me.
Thanks so much!!!

For the past few days, I have been posting on a Christian forum, and I must say I’ve gotten to the point where I’m impressed — not to mention surprised — by the tolerance I have been shown there, my being a non-Christian. It didn’t start that way, for sure!
It all started when Crash pointed me to this thread because it was about Harry Potter and all its “evils,” and she knew it would light a fire in my belly, so-to-speak. It did. I read through the posts and finally decided that, yes, I would post something! So, I did. Suffice it to say, the thread has grown to 6 pages long and evolved from a discussion about Harry Potter into Christianity in general.
I have lots of other things I’d like to say, but I have just been interrupted by WORK. Ugh. So, I will have to finish my thoughts at a later time.

It’s a bit of a long read — but just in case you want.

I have lost my love for JumpGate.
*GASP*
Yes, it’s true.
Even in trying to give it “another whirl” so-to-speak (on the EU server this time), I just can’t see as how it will be worth it to me anymore to spend the time and money necessary to continue playing.
I’ve tried to trace back exactly when I began to get bored and/or frustrated and/or disinterested in the game, and it seems like it all happened when I FINALLY got my Phoon. There just… wasn’t much left after that. I should’ve played Octavius from the start, but by the time I realized this, I had already put SO much work into it, I hated to give that up and start over.
So, last week (or the week before) I decided to try again on the EU server because I know several people from here who play there. However, there is the time difference. Therefore, I probably won’t get to play with anyone here. Jaye and Mull and I were able to talk a bit, but I still don’t have anyone to fly with, and even if I could fly with someone I already knew from here, I’d be too low-level to do anything.
sighs
I wish I could get that hunger and desire back, but I just can’t. I suppose I will have to continue to read posts here and be envious of the love everyone else still holds dear.

And then the storm crept in . . .
Its feet became leaden and tramped ruthlessly
through the caverns and crevices,
leaving a trail of deeply engrained
and foul-smelling footsteps.
A sudden light broke a stone wall
and shone brightly from within the crack —
which grew . . . widened . . . obtained more breadth
The echo of the forging terror resounded
and forbade obstruction.
A wail came . . . .
The defeat was simple.
The echoing recommenced.

So, I logged into JG last night under my newly chosen faction — OCTAVIUS.
Weird. It was so strange. I was looking at my screen (entipy wails “ALL THAT RED!!!”) in a sort of daze — not having a CLUE as to what I should begin to do. There I sat, in my miniscule Ape with one tiny little laser gun and all those great big wonderful flux hanging around out there… waiting…. and I could do nothing…. *sob*
soon my pink friends… very soon…. you shall meet your doom!!!!

This question may get LOTS of laughs from the tech-savvy people around here, but I have a question for Gossip.
How difficult would it be to be able to send a Private Message to a fellow blogger who is currently online?

I’m sick. It sucks.
Did I mention that I’m going to be in a local Reader’s Theater performance? Well, I am…. It’s pretty cool. I haven’t done anything like this in years and years and years. So far, I have two great and fun parts! One - I’m Witch #1 in a scene from Macbeth. Two - I’m the Editor in Shakespeare and Editor (very funny little piece). There might possibly be more roles for me as it goes along. I’m not sure. My daughter (who is 
is also performing. Her current piece is an excerpt from Beatrix Potter’s Tom Kitten. She is the bossy fussy mother kitten — which fits her quite nicely.
Edit : Gossip, how bout a “Theater” cateogry?

… here I am… Stuck at work for the rest of the day while everyone else is gone. *sigh* Nice, huh?
I work in a manufacturing facility where our business is greatly seasonal. Colder months = we slow down. So, all the plant workers and plant managers altered their hours so that they can all get off at 11:00 a.m. on Fridays. Me? noooo…. I get to stay here until 5:00 p.m. I can’t complain too much I guess. I don’t have to come in any earlier, and I get to take off every OTHER Friday afternoon.
It just seems pointless to me for someone to have to be here Friday afternoons to answer the telephone, etc if NOTHING is going on in the plant!
At least I’m getting paid.
