    .. .. Religion
    There are a few words to describe my religious viewpoints.


    I truly believe that there's truth in all religions -though my ideas never quite fit in perfectly into any religion. I'd probably do well with the Unitarian Universalists. Anton LaVey wrote a book that mirrors my own beliefs, but at the same time, parts of the Christian Bible are very dear to me. At this point in my life, I have come to believe that no religion is wrong - no religion is right - we are all like blind men trying to describe an elephant. Have you heard that story? Three men argue over what an elephant is like. One says it's flimsy and flat (the ear) the other says it's long and skinny (the tail) and the third says it's large and rough (its skin) ... and the truth of the matter is that they are all right ..and wrong. Wrong, because they don't have the entire truth, and right, because they have part of the truth. That's what each religion is -- parts of the bigger picture.

    Witchcraft - I am a witch. I write spells, work with herbs, use tarot, etc--but I am not Wiccan. Pagan is a good word to use to describe me.

    Background
    Background: I grew up in the country and spent most of my time in the forest. As odd as it may sound, I grew to love that forest. It's very dear to me. I would spend hours building forts, playing Rainbow Brite, swimming in the lake and rivers, hiking, camping --I was certainly an outdoor girl.


    I was generally a well-behaved child. I was active in Girl Scouts and Sunday School. However, I did have a year of outright and total rebellion. In 7th grade, I was sent to detention almost every day. I looked for trouble --constantly. I was an angry little pre-teen, for sure. :P I think the climax of my trouble was when I took a can of spray paint and decorated the school with no-no words during school hours. Of course, I was caught and suspended for a couple of weeks. I laugh about this now --but really, I'm glad I overcame that stage of my life....one can only stay stupid for so long, ya know? ....the next year, I was an Honor's Student....but somewhere deep down inside of me, that rebellious child still lives. :lol:


    Family/Friends
    Family: I've got a momma and a papa (my father passed away January 5th 2009, but he's still family), two brothers (Joe and Josh), two sister-in-laws (Tracy and Mandie), one sister (Sarah -- Professor Potter on HSWW), three adorable nephews (Keaton, Sean and Devin) and a niece (Chloe). I've got too many aunts and uncles to name....so I won't even bother.


    Friends: I've got two best friends -my sister Sarah and my fiance, Ian. Other friends seem to come and go, in my life, but they are all very dear to me. There's Anna and Melissa (best-friends from my childhood); there's Frank of course. I've grown fond of everyone from the pagan meetup group too! Brian, Tricia, Jamiee, Danielle, Nikohl, Anita, Rachel, Karen & all the others!


    Online Friends: Lothair is my bestestestest friend online. Raina and Dem too! ..along with a few others from Second Life. I consider all of HSWW to be my online friends. :D I used to chat in MSN Chat ..but that service no longer exists --and most of those online friends have kind of slipped away....and I miss maybe one or two of them. :P

    That kitty was so cute! I had a looong day at the zoo with the family today, but so good to have them here. I hope to see you and Ian on Friday!
  • May 5 2009 1:45 AM

    my input wasn't needed and the group dynamic was changing, plus I really needed to focus on work and family . . . I kinda ignored them too much when I was a part of GSW. . . I am not good at doing a balancing act. . . someday I may rejoin when life stabilizes, but I will cross that bridge when it's time. I do miss everyone though . . .

    HEy buddy... havent talked to u in ages
  • May 4 2009 8:45 AM

    Yeah I love that song, makes me shiver every time. I think it's because of that Bruce Willis movie when the serial killer plays that song every time he gets a girl.

    SL? Nah mate. I was off it for ike 2-3 months, then I went home for a few days so I went on, cause I could afford it there and now I'm back at uni and I haven't been on. It uses all my downloads.

    You?
  • May 4 2009 7:08 AM

    Supermassive Black Hole, yes :) Good song!
  • May 4 2009 5:20 AM

    I don't know I left the group about a year ago
  • May 4 2009 3:31 AM
