For Ogam: What is Dickens Faire?
Aug. 15th, 2012 08:51 amGood morning sweet Oggie!
Dickens Faire is a renaissance style fair, with all the booths and shows and food and fun, set in Victorian London. It is an inside fair, held at the Cow Palace in South San Francisco, every weekend from Thanksgiving until Christmas eve. It is dedicated and focused on the life and writings of Mr. Charles Dickens. Wonderful roving street skits from several of his books, including A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist, offer random delights to passers by. Fezziwig's Dance Party is a non stop Victorian Christmas Dance, where anyone and everyone can join in.
I work two jobs at fair. I sell and serve coffee and confections at Mr. Brown's Coffee, and as Mrs. Artemesia Flowers, I am Nanny to the Adorable Sage. *smiles* It's a fun and high energy job!
Here's a link, for more specific information, dear!

DW cuts... testing
Dec. 1st, 2011 08:48 amDreamwidth allows you to hide part of your entry text behind a cut, so you don't post a huge entry on your subscribers' reading page, or so you can hide something you don't want to be immediately visible, like a plot spoiler for a movie. If you use a cut, a link will appear in your entry. If someone selects that link, they'll open the full entry. The full entry will also be shown if they open the comments to read them.
To make a cut with the HTML Editor, type (cut) before the text you want to hide under a cut, then (/cut), using the greater than and less than symbols, when you want your text to appear on the page as normal. You can add text to the cut text link by entering (cut text="your text here") Dreamwidth also supports the legacy code inherited from LiveJournal, so you can also type: (lj-cut) and (/lj-cut) and (lj-cut text="your text here") and have your cuts work in the regular fashion.
( this is only a test )

At the End of my Rope
Jul. 6th, 2008 11:40 pmwhat good does having a sense of self do you, if all you get out of it is pain, loss, and grief?
Why the hell am I doing this anyway?
I wasn't good enough for Nithogg, or for S~
I am not good enough for my so-called family, spousal unit included.
When does it start being worth all the fucking effort?

Seeking a Good and Witchy Home....
Jan. 14th, 2008 05:55 amfor two young female cats. Both are spayed. Both have their shots. They are healthy and beautiful.
The kitties are two and a half years old. They have grown up together, littermates from a Hearthwitch rescue litter. Their mother we just call 'Mom', their papa we suspect was the beloved Patchwork Rags.
Broken_lotte is seeking responsible pagan homes for the girls. Misty, a lovely dark grey tabby, was named by everyone who saw her as a kitten a Familiar Cat. Hannah, a black and orange torti, is her darker shadow.
They would really do best together, Misty is quite friendly, but Hannah is very shy, and hides behind her sister.
Give me a shout if you know someone interested, in the SFBay Area!

I got a particularly virulent form of stomach flu.
Went to the doc, they gave me a shot to stop the nausia, and suppositories to keep it under control.
Can't sit up at the computer very long - too dizzzy.
I have graduated to small sips of Smart Water.
I have had no caffiene in three days now. *laughs* I am soooo twitchy! Combine that with weak and dizzy, weird!
I am spending most of the weekend totally alone; trying hard not too feel like Something is beating up on me, punishing me. Hate hate hate it.
fal ldown now, can't sit yup longer.

filter tweaking
Dec. 5th, 2007 08:19 amChanging my filters again, just a little.
I discovered a place, last night, where I am still allowing myself too much leeway in certain things, and I am not trustworthy enough to leave them alone, on my own.
I gave someone I care about pain, because I have skewed perceptions and a victim mentality. I am taking steps to insure that I don't have the ability to do that any more. You, whom I have distressed, should take similar steps, for your own self. I am sorry.

Solstice Vigil
Dec. 4th, 2007 10:29 amWinter Solstice this year is December 22, at 06:08 in the morning. I am going to be up all night for it. I generally spend this vigil in tears, fighting the horrible loneliness of the longest night, alone. None of my 'family' members are interested in being there with me. I have tried just not doing it, and going to bed, it doesn't work. I want to break that pattern.
I would LOVE it if people wanted to drop by and join me. We can spend the evening in craft, in song, with appropriately cheerful movies (the Muppet's Chrismas Carol comes to mind), whatever.
Let me know if you are interested, so I know how much wassail to put in the crockpot, and how much food to load the table with!

Veterin's Day
Nov. 11th, 2006 02:57 pmToday I honor the memory of my father, who served in World War II. I honor the memory of my father in law, who was an Army Flier in the Pacific Campagne.
I honor my son, who's unit was the point of the spearhead for the invasion that began Operation Iraqi Freedom.
I honor my daughter's boyfriend who put his life on the line, as a sniper, taking out lone targets who would have endangered the normal ground troops even more.
I honor my husband, who taught Explosive Ordanance Disposal to the boys who were going to Viet Nam. Knowing how to handle such things safely meant that they didn't go into harms way out of ignorance.
This war is a deplorable and dishonest act, by deplorable and dishonest men in Government. I hail all the Troops, for doing their best to behave honorably in the face of this crisis.

Well, it's progress....
Jul. 9th, 2006 10:55 pmWith my car not freeway safe, I am riding BART a lot. And I am alone, up on the platform, in a space that would have sent me into a screaming panic attack a year ago.
Coming back to Dublin from Trance Class tonight, I had to wait on the Bayfair platform for about 20 minutes. The night was huge, the pressure was a monster, but it didn't break me this time. I was able to spend the time (re)reading my homework, over and over, and not lose control of myself.
So that's progress.
