3. Do I have hope in the possibilities of the New Age? Do I feel despair over the dying environment of the planet or see it as a hopeless task? Do I feel moved to try to save the earth? Can I see death of the old as the precursor to the birth of the new?

Given the current prevailling attitudes of those in power to make sweeping climatic choices, no, I don't have a great deal of hope in the possibilities of a new age. Yet, that said, given the signs that the majority are shaking off the yoke of illusion and ignorance that they've willingly worn for the past decades, perhaps the glimmer does grow a bit stronger. I am trying to nurture that feeling, even though I often quip that I 'will not give up entirely upon humanity no matter how often they prove they don't deserve it.' Colour me cautiously optimistic.

Environmental issues. Add a healthy dose of anger to my despair, please. There are normal cycles of evolution and growth/death that life goes through in all environments. That is good and healthy. The great swathes of dead zones in the oceans and the land strip-mined and poisoned for profit is not. That is what I will protest and continue to pressure others for change, no matter how hopeless it seems at times. People don't bathe in their own filth or the filth of others, why should they live in the toxic shite of others while the robber barons have pristine views of panoramic landscapes. Make the bastards live on mercury tainted fields and eat food taken from poisoned waters and acreage, and see how fast things would change. Again, though, there is a glimmer that people are beginning to say 'no' to being forced to endure these kinds of situations.

While I don't feel compelled to save the entire earth per se, I do try to do my best to make my corner of it a healthy environment. I teach my children, and hopefully reach others, about conserving resources, looking for the most efficient sources of energy, and the aesthetic pleasure of a clean environment even if you have to pick up the litter that someone else threw to the ground. We are not divorced from the earth, nor have we been given the green light to run amok upon it indulging in mindless consumption and destruction of the environment. We are stewards and caretakers of the garden of Original Blessing that the creator[s] bestowed upon us. If everyone viewed humanity as the touch point of the realm of spirit made manifest, and that we were never kicked out of the 'Garden' save in our own twisted views of life and the earth, the world just might look a bit different.

"The problem with Westerners is that they believe they have been kicked out of the garden. They live their lives as if they had been thrown out of the realm of the divine. But the shaman knows that we always have existed and still exist in the Garden. Life is a feast. You are invited to dine."

1] This evening, sit at the dining room table and not on the sofa. The chance to fall over asleep is less likely.

2] Find winning lottery ticket or Sugar Daddy [or Momma] ASAP.

3] Drink more water and less caffeine today at Hell work.

I haven't posted for a while because school is doing the whole ass-kicking thing to me.

This is the non-public post. This is the pouring out the frustrations post.

( Whining ahead maties. )

I am so very far behind in everything that I wanted to get accomplished this week.

The only thing I did manage to get done was the BPAL order for mum and final verification of NaNoWriMo 2008. I've got many ideas floating about in my head and I am aching to get to them, but as usual, the holiday break ate all my time. I always vow that I will take time off after I return to get everything I wanted to get done completed, and once more managed not to do so and go to work. More fool me, I say.

In any event, I am slowly getting back into the swing of things after this break and just won't even delude myself into thinking I will ever catch-up. Things will get done when they get done.

The drive home yesterday was atrocious, ghastly, abysmal, insert your choice here. It was raining and cold for the first half of the drive down, and then after we were south of Prince Frederick, it was rainy, cold, and foggy. Whee. There were accidents all over the place, and thankfully we managed to avoid the worst of the traffic slowing because of them. The car that flipped on the north bound side of the Harbour Tunnel was the scariest, and a good chance to tell the learning driver that there is no place worth getting to so quickly as to arrive late.

After getting home, we unloaded the car, ignored unpacking, and ordered pizza as there was no way in heck we wanted leftovers nor any chance of me cooking. By the time the beasties were prepared for school today, I was knackered and crawled into my own bed. Ah, the back was thankful after four nights on the pull-out sofa bed.

Okay, supper then back to begin the rounds *grin*

Your Song is a present day RPG that takes place at the fictional Presley School for the Performing Arts in Yonkers, New York, just outside of New York City.

Students must audition for a specialty (dance, music, art, technical theatre, drama) to obtain a coveted spot at this prestigious academy.

All characters in the game are based on famous songs!

Characters are in their junior and senior years of high school, and must be pursuing some career in the arts.

So why don't you tell everybody that this is your song by placing a hold today?

MANY songs are still available, and almost any song will be allowed as long as you can create a character that is in the essence of the original song.

Hello my fellow Wrimos,

I just wanted to drop a quick note to tell you all how proud of you I am. We've faced the beast and came out the other end. That sounds a bit dirty doesn't it? *grins*

Maybe next year we can drag our community moderator with us. So where ever she is, we've got to find her.

I wanted to congratulate the following members of our community:
ederyn, kitsune_wolf, dyinginthesun, yuuo, 24601, boxedcrayon125, kijin_san, inoru_no_hoshi, ceria, and astridxvi.

You all rocked.

If I didn't mention anyone, it's not a slight. I only went back to the 15th to check word counts. If you either post here or send me an email, I will add you to the list.

It's over ducks! We can finally party!

See you all next year,
Jenn

1/30 EDIT-- My computor is being mean to me, so the link dissappeared when i had posted this here, and now the edit-window won't show properly, so here's a simple URL-link, that you'll have to paste... http://tezzino.insanejournal.com/766.html

The final hours are upon us. Hands are hurting. Eyes are crusty. Backs are curved. And our houses look like they've seen better decades. But it is all for the good.

If you wrote only 15,000 words. That's 15k more than other people. If you wrote 20k? Same thing. 30k, 40k, 50k, 60k, 70k, 80k, 90k, 100k? You're as insane as the rest of us and you need to sleep.

So for those who need just a couple more words to reach that 50,000 word goal. You can do it. We're cheering you on.

And like the song says. "Deliver me."

Post is up. Have at.

post is up early because I'm about to fall out and I still haven't reached my goal for the NaNo yet. Still have another 9,000 to get to today.

on the night before packing and travel again.

It really isn't that bad, but I am ready to head back down the River Styx to the Stygian Homestead until Yule-tide travels bid me venture out.

More later. Time to hit up that vodka and pomegranate/cranberry juice again.
