One Down..

SO I already accomplished one goal for the day I used the Pier One gift card. (Did that last night actually)

I bought a brick red courduroy throw banket, 2 throw pillows- one in a cringy purple satin, one in a magenta tafetta-ish material, an aqua and a cobalt blue candle plate, 2 peach-ginger candles, 1 mintini candle, a mandarine-tea/grapefruit candle, and a little box of peppermint bark- sooooo yummy, cute box.

Oh and I also bought a bag of tealights last weekend with it, used a bunch during my Full Moon ritual, donated the rest to the Grove.

Now..to the library to obtain books of no informational or educational value! And then to XS to get coffee! And home, to watch at least one Netflix movie!

Not necessarily in that order...

Damn Me For Making You Think.

I posted these questions to the ADF Druidry list...more stuff to think about. A little less practical than previous questions, but no less interesting...this is just copied and pasted from my email...

What's more important- actual experience, or the memory of an experience?
I was just thinking of the movie Blade Runner. The replicant Rachel doesn't know she's not human. She has memories of piano lessons, a spider outside her bedrom window, a picture of her with her mother when she was a little girl. This was what made her unique from the other replicants- memories and no defined lifespan. The memories were not real, but they were real to her.

Does my memory of the college classes I've taken and the things that I learned from them matter more than the fact that I actualy took those classes? In respect to teaching the lesson of not touching a hot stonve- does a child's memory of getting burned on a matter more, or the fact that he was actually burned?

If you believe in certain deities, or a certain pantheon...to what extent should you believe in their particular myths? Or is it okay if you see them as parables, metaphors or some other non-literal teaching tool?

If you had the chance to know the absolute truth about everything- how the world really came to being, how humans became humans, who or what really controls everything, does anyone actually already have it right... Would you take that chance? What if you had the chance to know the absolute truth about any one question- would you take it? What truth would you want to know?

Where do you draw the line between life and existance? Or is there a line?

What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about? (Okay, now I'm just being silly.)
How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? (Sorry, couldn't resist...)

(no subject)

I've had a bit of pressure in my right ear all day. It feels like I have a clod in there, and said ear is ringing about 4 times as loud as normal, and at a different frequency than my left ear. It's weird and annoying. (My ears have always rung constantly, for as long as I can remember but I have no hearing losss or anything)

So today I went to the library and got several books. Two of them are just flat out fiction. I even started reading one. I aso borowed 2 dvd's.

So there's one goal started on.

I went to XS for coffee...another one off my list.

A bit later I wil go out and light up the fire and burn up the last third or so of the bottle...
In a few minutes, I think I wil go watch a movie.

And I already did away with the Pier One gift card. Yay!

Oh, and in working on figureing out the whole roommate mess, I decided to ask Shawn (Steph's boy from TN) if he had had any idea that we didn't know that he was going to be here. He says he was under the impression that we knew. Mea and I both believe him. We assured him that we weren't upset with him, and that he's been a most cool and courteous presence in the house since he got here. He took off shortly after that. I kinda feel bad for the guy.
