Thanks be to mmc327....

The only thing worse than having your APO chapter's old roll call songs from conferences long past stuck in your head...

...having another chapter's roll call stuck in your head.

Ah, dammit, now I'm really missing visiting the guys at Drexel and random crashing at 3838 Lancaster Ave in Philly (I swear, I could still walk there blindfolded from 30th street station...), cheesesteaks at Powelton Pizza, LFBB, being met at the airport by half the chapter when I flew back to PA from Dallas for the last time, playing Circle of Death and Egyptian Rat Screw in the basement, pledge initiation...in the basement...

Good times.

Well, I just finally finished my last little bits of revising and editing and sent my three essays to Raven for resubmitting for acceptance to work on the clergy training.

And now, I start the process of waiting again. Hopefully this doesn't take as long as my DP, and I can move on with it.

i discovered a book on amazon the other week while looking for something else- The Oracle, Ancient Delphi And The Science Behind Its Lost Secrets.

It arrived today, I started reading it on my way to work. So far...quite fascinating. I'm only still in the first chapter, but just reading it makes me want to visit Delphi so much more already.

It's been suggested that I run for secretary of the Hellenic kin in ADF. Oh, what am I saying? No one else is running. I'm also planning to run for grove witan. I took a look at the kin secretary...it doesn't *look* like something that would take away from my ability to serve on teh grove witan. It's not like I'm planning to run for senior druid (though, I'm eligible to do so if I wanted to. But I'm not insane, and there are some aspects of that job that I would not be comfortable with taking on...mostly the parts involving managing the property. If it weren't for that, I *might* consider it. But there's also the fact that I've never served on the Witan and would prefer to do so in some other capacity before I ever even thought about running for SD...so none of that for me.

I brought a couple of movies to work with me this evening- White and Blind Chance. But it turns out that I'm just not in the mood to watch Polish movies at the moment. Or anything that's even half serious really. And it's that time of night when my attention span is completely out to lunch. So maybe I'll just have a nap.

Current Pet Peeve

Ok, strictly bitchy post, but I can't wait til the trend dies. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. DIE!

But people saying that something is "made of win" or "made of fail".

Just quit it already, for serious.

/soapbox

On a much happier note, the book I'm reading on Delphi continues to be just as fascinating as it was when I started it yesterday. I will likely finish it tonight sometime.

And in yet other news, I am now compulsively checking the email that I use for ADF stuff like, every twenty minutes in hopes that I'll be hearing back from Raven...not that I expect a response within 24 hours, but can you blame a girl for being really hopeful/impatient?

acousticdryad, I'm so not practicing moderation in this :-P

Dear Samhain,

I bid you a resounding "meh".

Yours in Apathy,

I should decide what to get various family members for Christmas.

For once, my stepfather is easy to shop for- three Richard Jeni shows are now available on DVD. Grab one or two of them and he'll be happy forever.

My sister- I think the easiest way to handle that is going to be to combine her and Dave into one and get them a Netflix subscription. Everyone watches movies, right? And damn if I wouldn't know where to begin to buy something for him. So I'll get them a 6-month subscription or something.

Neither of these require that I set foot in a mall. Woohoo.

for Samantha and Ashlyn...well, they're easy. They'll love pretty much anything that comes from Aunt Renee.

My mom...uh...I dunno. Well...I just called my stepfather to ask. He has no clue either.

Well, worst case scenario, she loves 1928 jewelery. I could get her something of that.

Ok, maybe Christmas shopping will be a little easier than I was thinking...

So....not participating in Grove Samhain. Probably not participating in Grove High Day ritual again until the spring equinox.

I feel like I should be using this time for...something productive.

But what?

The last week or two...I've been trying to write some hymns. I get a good line or two going and then it just kinda falls. I'm keeping those lines because I've no doubt I'll be able to use them at some point, just not right this minute.

Reading, while interesting and educational is still just consumption.

I could pull up the CTP stuff and start looking over it, and make a list of books that I want to at least start out with.

I could look at my options for taking a class or two at BCCC in the spring semester.

I could (fill in the blank with any number of things here.)

But really, right now, I just want a nap. roughly an eight and a half hour nap. I'm not physically tired, but at the moment, I'm mentally tired. I've no doubt that it's of my own doing. (Even if I tried, there really isn't much else I could pin it on.)

I dunno. People keep talking about this nanowrimo thing. Maybe I should give it a shot.
