I’ve been reading the Life Training Blog for about a month now. It’s a blog that gives decent lifehacking tips and ideas, and gives a lot of wellness insight. Like the John Chow Wii Contest, this contest requires you to post a specific paragraph of text with some set links in order to enter. Only this contest lets you win a cash price or various iPODs (you can guess which I’ll be going for). The blurb is as follows:
“Life Training - Online, a blog dedicated to self improvement and personal development is hosting a free raffle where you can win an 80GB iPod Video! Read this post to learn how you can enter.”
The more contests people hold, the more lucrative some of these blogs are turning out to be. Lets just hope I win one 
ah ha ha ha ha
Man if my husband gave -me- a bow and arrow for a wedding present, I’d be ecstatic.
This show is so cheesy and wrong. But I love how they have brawny towels EVERYWHERE.
This weeks Witches Weekly:
Do you consider yourself a political pagan? If so, what topics are most important to you and why? If you are not a political pagan, why?
I don’t consider myself political about much of anything, really. I suppose if there was something to be political about, the freedom of religion and environmental awareness would be on the top of my list.
Honestly I try to avoid politics as much as possible. Perhaps that is bad for me to do as an American, since people should always fight for their rights, etc. But I think I’m just a big cynnic who cares little about what happens to society as a whole unless it directly affects me. Does that make me a bitch? Probably.
Maybe I grew tired of fighting and explaining within my own family about my beliefs and how they couldn’t take them away from me, that it just lost its luster to want to fight something as big as our government. I applaud those that do, and perhaps one day I will find the desire to be on that line right along with them. Since my fathers stroke in 2001, I’ve just been pouring all of my energy into making sure he’s taken care of.
I’ll add to this post if any more come in.
When did you start following the wiccan path? and who led you to it? or was it yourself who led you to it?
When I was 16 and taking some English class in highschool, we had to read “The Crucible.” In order to do more historical research for the class, I was looking up books in the school library, and happened across one called “Encyclopedia of Witchcraft.” At least I think that’s what it’s called… Anyway, eventually I ran across one of Scott Cunninghams books and learned about this entire modern-pagan movement going on, so I hoped aboard. I did read up on Wicca at the start, as most people do, but I never considered myself Wiccan. I don’t really know what I am, honestly. All I know is that music and back-to-roots basics make me feel more spiritual than any sort of fancy ritual or absorption of mythological knowledge.
The last time I had great sex?
ha ha, that’s been a while. The last time I had sex at all was about 2 years ago (I think..) when I gave in to some hormones with my now ex-husband, even though we were already separated. But I can’t necessarily say it was great Though we did have great sex when we were together, I don’t really know how long ago that was. Too long, I imagine.
How come all I have ever seen of you is a small portion of your head in any picture?
I actually got asked this by an online friend the other day. I guess the main reason is paranoia. It’s the same reason I don’t post my last name on my real journal (I don’t post a lot of things on myspace), I black out all the license plate numbers of pictures of my truck, I don’t post my sisters name, or where I work.
I don’t want my mother to find my journal. It doesn’t really matter to me if she finds my myspace account, because I put it up for people to find me and to find my music. There’s a lot of stuff in my real journal that she could use against me in court, which my cousin can attest to, she’s done before. She actually had the gall to say that I wore promiscuous clothing in highschool, which was her name for White Zombie t-shirts and spikes, I guess.
Another reason relates to the employment thing. When I worked at the Vet, I had mentioned my place of employment somewhere on my site, and they found it and everything I ever posted about them. Needless to say I was forced to quit my job.
The last reason has more to do with my mothers idiocy than anything. One of the married men she was sleeping with apparently turned out to be more psycho than not. And after she slept with him, and then broke things off with him, he started creating bombs and threatening to blow us and his ex-girlfriend up. My mom called the cops, and the guy was put away, but I have no clue what type of psychos are out there.
It really just all filters down to me being paranoid, I guess. I think half the people that read my journal I know IRL anyway, so I never really think that they need pictures, but if someone is really that interested, I suppose I can produce some off-journal And I guess I should get some taken for my musical portfolio, for promotion and of any shows I start doing.
What is your Cosmology?
Boy that’s probably an involved one. You know the sad thing is, I probably don’t give much thought to questions like these as most people. Theology was never on my high list of interests. Would it be considered wrong to say I see the Divine in more ways than one?
I’ve related to polytheistic traditions since I was a kid, probably more of a facination with Greek Mythology that they teach you at that age. I remember my first introduction to Athena when I was about 12, our classmates were to assign a Greek Deity to us that they felt we were most similar too, and they all (including the teacher) assigned me to Athena. Hence why she is one of my patrons now. Perhaps I just like badasses, I don’t know. It would explain my obsession with Xena 
Back on track though, I’ve also considered myself a “soft polytheist” moreso in the way of, whatever divine energies I feel, during ritual or even being represented on my altar, are all filtered into a generic nameless god and goddess figure. Sort of a father sky/mother earth type deal, which also tends to be easier to explain to people who don’t understand. It also seems to suit my spiritual interests with wilderness survival and appreciation a lot better.
What will you tell us about this relationship you’re involved with?
hrm, that might be better suited in a one-to- one conversation But I’ll tell you anything you want to know that way. For this purpose though, I can say that he’s treated me far better than any have in the past
How’s it goin?
lol, it’s going swell
What things do you want to do before you die?
Funny you should ask that. I actually started a list of things I’d like to do, because I tend to forget about them lol. The list is here.
If you had unlimited $$, what would you do?
I’d pay off all my fathers debts, buy him a truck that he didn’t always have to fix up, and buy our land and build him a house that isn’t condemned like the one we are living in now. The rest I’d probably start giving away to people who grew up with nothing, like myself Not people who live off the government because they are too lazy, but people who really struggle to get by.
What has been your greatest sexual experience so far (names/personalities not required)?
I’ve only had sex with one person, and that’s my recent ex-husband. There were moments that stick out in my mind as great sexual experiences with him, but out of respect for my current significant other (he does read this) I don’t think I should post it here.
Is there anything you want to do, but are afraid you’d back out at the last moment due to fear?
I always wanted to go deep sea diving. I love water and I love fish and other underwater creatures. But I have some crazy phobia of sunken ships or even seeing the underbelly of ships/boats. Perhaps it’s more of a fear of being run over by them and sucked into the propellers, I don’t know.
When can I have chicken and dumplings? Fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!
lol! You gotta come over and I’ll make you some again :) What are you doing in August?
Ask me a question, any question. Don’t be shy, you should know by now that I don’t hold much back
