Before we start, YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS. If you don't like what I have to say, don't comment. This blog may hurt the feelings of people who take anything my latent insanity says seriously. It may offend some people's sensibilities. I really don't give a flying fuck if it does, you're the one who chose to read it. That being said, prepare for things that are mundane, things that are spooky, and things that are just downright bitchy.
In the mundane:
My speech was terrifying. I used a specialized font that didn't translate well for my slide show and my video didn't transfer well either, so I had only three out of my planned six slides to use for visual aid. However I did pretty well despite that and I suspect I got a decent enough grade. Two of my friends and I are going to be going off to RenFest in November and we're staying for two days and two nights so YAY. My love life is right where I want it and I'm happy. School is no longer kicking my ass as much as it was.
In the spooky/mystical:
I have been having nightmares since the beginning of October about Edward. I know he's dead and gone but he's still hanting me and I wake up at two in the morning most nights with tears running down my face, and I'm terrified to close my eyes. I know it's silly and ridiculous, but it's been happening and only since about a week ago have they stopped and instead shifted gears. More recently I have been dreaming of my spirit guides flying with me. I say "with me" because in my dreams I have these beautifully-formed leathery bat wings and I am flying freely through the air, followed on the ground by a large black wolf. When we stop to rest I see out of the corner of my eye a pure white wolf, lurking just out of sight and reach. The bat, raven, and black wolf make sense, but the white wolf....I've never dreamed of white wolves before, and one of my friends who is a shaman believes it is a kindred spirit or angel trying to contact me. I dunno what that's about, but I find it just plain odd.
In the snarky:
Okay, here it goes. Don't say I didn't warn you.
So, there are two kinds of people online and in life I really just cannot fucking stand. They fall under these categories: Drama Llamas and Chronic Case of Indignant Righteousness.
Drama Llamas are those people who constantly post about the horrible things going on in their life, with absolutely ZERO good things ever being said otherwise. Then when told they should go and spend these trying times with family and loved ones, they make up BULLSHIT excuses about why they would rather be all "woe is me" online. Usually, these people are only doing this to get attention. That is why they are Drama Llamas (or if you don't want to mince words, Attention Whores): they only bring up drama about their lives, and they THRIVE on other people's sympathy. But eventually, people grow skeptical and question it, and a few people may call them out on it. And then that's when they show their true colors and start waving the "BUT I R A SPESHUL SNOWFLAKE WIFF REAL PROBLEMS U GAIZ" flag and then start causing more drama, thus ending in the banning of the Drama Llama.
Chronic Case of Indignant Righteousness are the people who take their morals and fluffy sensibilities and try and shove them down fucking everyone's throats. They are constantly making comments about how "right" and how "good" they are because of their beliefs (what god to believe in, nonviolence, what have you) and sounding like smug little asshats while doing so. I mean, I can be obnoxious and come on strong a lot of the time, but fuck, I at least will just tell you "this is what I believe, you believe differently, sorry if I came off as a bitch, etc" and leave it be, but these people just DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHEN TO FUCKING STOP. I've met Fundamentalist Christians more open and willing to live and let live than these kinds of people, and more often than not their advice (solicited or not) usually is dripping with their fucking precious morals.
Case in point: fluffybunnies. Fluffybunnies make me almost ashamed to be Wiccan/Pagan/whatever you wanna call me, yet I find them and the Drama Llama a lot lately on Facebook and elsewhere and I'm about ready to slap some bitches. Many fluffybunnies I meet are also suffering from a Chronic Case of Indignant Righteousness and therefore deserve a slap in the face by an angry witch. I'm already pissed off at Revan and other ignorant douchebags, don't think you'll slip under the radar if you have symptoms of either of the above categories because I am a fine-tuned Bullshit Detector lately.

So yeah, that's my thoughts and feelings on what's been happening to me lately. As stated above, if anything I have said in this blog has offended you, you're free to mosey on along and keep your trap shut. This chick is out. Blessings, y'all.

As for being ashamed of being associated with such people--it all just comes down to how much shit you're willing to put up with for something you love. If you love it enough, you'll stick around and find out that there are a lot of good people involved in the same thing. If not, it's better to leave and look for something you're more passionate about (because why force yourself to put up with stress if it isn't worth it?).0 points
