Variation On A Theme...

This one I might actually consider motivation to not wear a particular piece of jewelery....

So yesterday, I'm down by the harbor, waiting for a bus, minding my own business and this girl comes up to ask if I know the time. I told her.

And she's suddenly going balistic...it kinda goes like this...

Her- "Oh my god! A witch?"

Me (suspecting that I know what's next, wanting to have a few giggles out of the exchange)- "A witch? Oh My god, where?" (I also jumped up and looked around frantically)

Her-"You, duh. You're a witch."

Me- "No I'm not."

Her- "Yes. You are. Hey, have you seen the latest Silver Ravenwolf book?"

Me- "No I'm not. No I haven't"

Her- "Yes, you are. That's so cool! You're wearing one of those penta-whatsits. That means you are a witch. Can I join your coven? Hey, could you teach me a spell to make this guy fall in love with me? Oh, and you have to see the book. You probably have the rest of her books though riight?"

Me- "I'm not a witch. I don't belong to a coven. I don't do spells. Me wearing the peenta-whatsit doesn't make me a witch any more than you wearing that cross makes you a Christian. I do now own, nor have I ever even read a book by Silver Ravenwolf."

(I contemplated telling her that I was a Christian wearing a pentacle to signifiy the 5 Wounds of Christ, and that the flame was symbolic of the flames that Paul (I think) saw above the heads of Christs followers....and I can't remember now what book of the bible that came from...but I thought that was going to far. Plus, I was afraid her brain would explode. I didn't want exploded brain bits on me.)

Her- gives me an injured look. "Well if you're not a witch, then what...oh nevermind, you're not going to tell me, you want to be all smug and superior and secret." Stomps off before I can respond. Other people standing by look kinda confused and not really sure what to say. I go back to reading.

I must have Moron Magnets imbedded in my skin.

Weird Dream

I had a dream yesterday evening while taking a nap. I don't remember the details of it, I don't think they're very important. The only part that I really remember is right before I woke up, I kept hearing "I need a new name." This phrase was coming from a crystal that I just recieved (The actual crystal was sitting fairly close to me at the time)

However, the "I" was in reference to me. It kept repeating "I need a new name" over and over from the time my memory of the dream starts, until I was fully conscious and sitting up. It was weird.
