I emotionally understand the line from Fight Club when he says 'I wanted to destory something beautiful' because I am feeling so friggin' pissed.

I feel sorry for my kids today.
Bedfellow deserves what ever ka-may-ha-may-ha's his way.
A product called “HAL” created by a company called “Cyberdyne”? What can POSSIBLY go wrong?
Of course, I’d love to have one myself.

I am a more solitary creature than I thought.

Bedfellow is still at home all the time, Alex is recovered but living the vampire lifestyle. Since they both have been home everything feels out of balance. The days just aren't peaceful any more. I feel strained under always being under someones eyes. I miss being alone and the day being mine. It seems I was more productive then too.

So I go out a lot to be alone. Therefore I am spending money. I am not sure what to do about it.

Gonna get my haircut tomorrow. I used to like that but since my bad bad bad cut in December I am wounded and feel anxiety that either by 1:30 p.m. May 14th I will either be under a sack of shame or elated. I'm feeling so foul right now that it is overwhelming.

I just scared myself with how pathetic and in need of therapy that sounds.

With roughly 70% of the vote in, Clinton is up by nearly 40 points (66%/27%). [edit] It’s 1:00 AM, with 95% reporting - 67% Clinton, 26% Obama.
While Obama’s camp has been prepping for a fairly major loss in West Virginia, it’s hard to spin the absolutely absurd beating he’s taking tonight*. Obama hasn’t won [...]

Can anyone recommend a doctor in the area to do a Mirena insertion? Preferably someone at a Planned Parenthood, and that you or someone else has had experience with (ie isn't just a good doctor, but someone who you know is excellent with Mirena). Thank you!

I am now "tumble-logging." You can find me at http://kumokasumi.tumblr.com or [info]kumokasumi_tmbl.

We'll see how long this experiment lasts. I still feel like "tumble" should reference some crude sex act, but urbandictionary disappoints.

How can I get to Georgetown? Is taking metro there at all sensible? I know there isn't a stop there or anything. I'm a poor, car-less college student coming from Bethesda.

I'm not sure if this image is appropriate for [info]naturesbeauty, since it's not a wild animal. However, I was pleased with how it turned out, and wanted to share it. I hope no one minds...

Headway is Made, final (so far):



The description from devART went like this:

"Stranger places have been explored, but the landfall made by Mr. Merricule & the crew of the Carraway on this spot of curious topography really had them stumped. They couldn't *remember* any floating spheroids described by the cartographers of yore... but clearly, there they were. Seeming like they'd fall down and knock you into the corner pocket at any moment.

Luckily the clockwork dogsbody, Problematic Three, had prepared a fresh pot of Oolong to make the charting more bearable in the dry air of the place."

Yaaaar!

Strangely, not surprised.

Which Goddess lurks in your soul?

Hecate

You hold more power in your little finger than most do in their entire being! Hecate is perhaps the most selective of all deities who inhabit the souls of mortals. Being the goddess of the crossroads, Cosmic Knowledge, and of course witches and magic she can’t be bothered by residing in the souls of the mundane. She often chooses those who practice the craft of the old ways and those who harbor deep mystical secrets that must be kept close. Your soul is old, perhaps having been present at the birth of the cosmos in some form or another. Your ability to comprehend the necessity of death and it’s beauty have awakened a connection to the underworld, where Hecate has been known to reign and you relish this otherworldly bond. Darkness suits you well, as many of the best secrets of the cosmos can be found there.

Music Directors here?

  • May. 13th, 2008 at 3:08 PM
Just curious if we have any Music Directors in this group.  I have a question about salary and expected job duties that go with certain salaries.  My church is trying to say that my job is 1/4 time with a $5,600 salary for next year.  Our membership is probably around 150.  My dad, who is the finance chair is arguing heavily for me that they should not expect me to work 1/4 time for that amount and they should not call the position 1/4 time.  Is there anyone in this community who knows more about this topic or could lead me to finding some official information as to what the expectations should be for church music directors?

Thanks in advance,

Vanessa


P.S.  Anyone else going to the UUMN Conference in Boston this August?
