Hello all!
I've gotta say, I love the feeling you get after a ritual. Peaceful, happy . . . I can't stop grinning for half an hour. It's wonderful. :-) It's also probably the ONLY time I can meditate. Strange, perhaps, but I don't mind . . . much.

I've been looking into the different forms of witchcraft lately, and I've gotta say it's fascinating. It's not all love and light, either. Not that that's a bad thing - it has it's place, alongside the less-than-lovely aspects. Things like graveyard dirt. (that's a cue to smile) The . . . fluff, for lack of a better term, is what originally attracted me, I'll admit, but just like the whole 'deity isn't all-in-one and condemns people' is a part of it, so is 'deity isn't all fluffy goodness.' It's . . . real. Multi-faceted. Good and bad.

And I love that.

So what else is going on with me? I took SATs this morning - five long and arduous hours of need-it-for-college testing. Yuck. I'm also re-watching Xmen: Evolution, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and made a comic book . . . for Biology class. Yes, it was required, not extra credit. Boo to science teachers deciding people need to be more creative.

We DO have a REQUIRED art credit, after all. Humph. *crosses arms and pouts sulkily*

But I did it, and it's done, and I'm eagerly awaiting sponsors for National American Miss, the pageant I'm in this summer.

Wish me luck.
