My Girlz!

Tsumetai Hane

Kiera got to learn White Dugon last night from Deice. We talked more IC but we also talked OOC! I found out he's from New Zealand. :) That's interesting.. I've never thought much about New Zealand before, except that I know it's quite a beautiful country. I'd like to learn more about it, so I'm sure Deice and I will talk more ooc when we feel like it. He's 27. I haven't seen Omner in a while. I hope he comes on tonight, I'd like to show him Tsumetai, the penguin he gave Dairine. That's Japanese for "cold", btw. Oh, Suzuna is completely fluent in Japanese!! Okay, maybe not completely, but very close to! She's been studying it for years, and even reads it! Very cool. If I ever plan a trip to Japan, I'll be sure to invite her!

What's a Sgrios?

Well, I did my best to sleep in today. It was stupid of me to stay up so late, knowing that there are people working on the basement and making lots of noise in the morning. It’s alright, though. I’m very persistent when it comes to my sleep and I wasn’t going to let noise stop me. I got a version of sleep that was good enough. Spent the day relaxing, cleaning and hanging out online. Got Kiera to 11th! Also got my wizard, Alyson, very close to it. Next is my priest, Drusylla. Later on tonight I got to get Kiera together with her mentor and they had a little discussion about all the strange things she’s been remembering. I also took her to the secret temple of Sgrios to talk to a couple Sgrios priests. They were great fun to rp with! The rumors are true – the Sgrios fellowship is filled with real role players! Fun!

Oh, and for those who are reading this from my online journal.. hey, I never said every entry would be interesting for you! Heh.. Most of these are entries from my personal files that are for my own recollection later on, and I’m throwing them up in this online version for fun. Once in a while, I hope they’re worth reading, but I know sometimes they’re dull. So sorry.

Day in Vancouver

Today began around 2:47am with a very loud and obnoxious cel phone beeping in my ear.. The Zod finally replied to a message sent the previous day. Evil. More sleep required. Around 9:30am I wasn't able to go back to sleep anymore. So much for sleeping in. Blah. After mucho attempts to go back to sleep I gave up, got up, squeaked at the snow that had fallen over night, ate breakfast and waited for Kok to crawl out of bed - which happened around 11:30.


apparently someone forgot to finish this one...

A couple hours later we were on the road to Vancouver! It was a really fun day. I have pictures.. and will add them soon. We did our traditional Virgin Hunt which resulted in finding many other interesting things along the way. At Future Shop I used up the last of my birthday money on Big Shiny Tunes 8. It has "Bye Bye Boyfriend" on it! Yay! We also found the way-cool comic shop that has tons of comics, mags, RPG stuff and other fun things like that. Got some Buffy stuff, naturally! Later, when the Virgin was finally discovered, I bought my dad's xmas present. Though I highly doubt he even knows about this site, I'm not about to mention what I got him, just in case!


Ohh.. the city is so pretty in the night with the lights everywhere!


And if that wasn't enough, once I got home I ended up staying up until 2am hanging out with friends online! We were working on getting my Kiera to 11th insight, and also developing her story. It's really coming along.. Which reminds me, Kiera has diary entries to write too..

ooo I got a COMMENT!

Oooh! I got a comment to an entry! And funny, I'd already heard about it from Kok, who'd found it on Ono's own journal... this is something I wrote in my offline journal about it....... and since he asked me in that comment about it, I might as well just post what I wrote to help clear it up!

~*~
I posted about how I should have listened to my early tarot readings. He mentioned that I had told him how I'd had good readings about us. What he doesn't know is that my very early tarot readings indicated negative things about him. I'd have to go back and look at my files to remember exactly what, but they weren't the best. I had a feeling they meant he and I could possibly have conflict - but I ignored it because I really wanted to get to know him.

Later readings started to reveal that we were lovers in a past life, and I felt that we were destined to be together in this life. Obviously, from the fact that we're no longer together, he didn't share these feelings and I realized that even though we were lovers in the past, doesn't mean we were meant to be together that way in this life. He mentioned something about "I thought she thought we were soulmates". Well, I do think that. But I also told him that I believe soul mates are people we are destined to meet in our lives, including friends, relatives, strangers and even enemies. Not in the context of "true lovers meant to be together", which is the way I think he was meaning it.

From what I heard, he expressed confusion, wondering if I had lied to him about readings in the past, when I'd told him that I wouldn't. I've never lied to him about a reading. I just didn't tell him about every reading I'd done. Readings are personal things, and I don't often publish them at all, let alone telling others about the results. So yeah, I told him about the good ones. If you were dating someone, would YOU really like to hear that they got a few not-as-nice cards about you? Naw.. that'd just worry you or upset you unnecessarily. So I expressed on the journal that I should have listened to the early readings. In hindsight, that was a yes and no type of comment. On one hand, if I had of I would have avoided the confusion of being dumped so quickly. But of course, if I had of listened I also would have missed out on the good parts of the summer fling. I had a lot of fun with Ono, it was a really fun summer. So yeah, I don't really know if I should have listened to the cards or not.

Avoid heartache and miss out on experience & fun? Or risk heartache and have some fun and new memories? It's a toughie. What would you choose? Truth is, no one knows until they get faced with the question.

And right now, I'm kind of faced with the question. If "Arachne" writes back and wants to get to know me, I'm not going to ignore her because of a few not-so-nice cards. Although I respect the tarot and take it's advice seriously, I also refuse to live my life around some cards. So yes, if "Arachne" writes back, I will write her and maybe her and I will become friends. Maybe weeks, months, or even years down the road she'll turn out to be a bad friend and our friendship will end, but at least I could stand there and say "I saw it coming, but I had a great time getting here, learned a lot about myself and the world, and will grow from it."

Same thing with what happened with Ono. Sure, if I had of listened to the cards I could have avoided the confusion that followed, but I would have missed out on other stuff and I think I've grown and learned from the experience and as I have said before, I wouldn't trade it for anything. But when faced with a new situation it's always hard to say "yeah, I'll ignore warnings and risk the pain"... Saying I "should have" listened to the cards is kind of harsh, but we all go through that.. wishing we could just avoid pain. Can't though. Pain is good.

Hope that clears up any confusion.. O.o

Christmas in the City!

Today was so busy at work!! I love it when that happens. The day flies by!! I found out that the supervisor, Brett, has been promoted! He's going to be the Cooler Manager while Ted is going to remain on as the Produce Manager. Together, they'll be splitting up the duties that my former manager, Dave, had. So... I'll be answering to both Brett and Ted. That'll be alright.

Kok picked me up from work! We went to the mall, then I got my stuff and we came out to Chilliwack for a sleep over. Tomorrow we're going to Vancouver! Yay, Christmas in the city! Gonna be pretty!

Last night I spent a lot of time in DA as Kiera, talking with her teacher, Deice. It was good to get more advice from him, both IC and OOC. Suzuna and I have started a mailing list called Kyara no Naka (Japanese for "In Character") as a way to band together with other role players in DA. It should be a lot of fun if we get it going! Ohh! Omner is starting to put together a play!! That should be a lot of fun! I'm going to see if he needs help with the writing part of it. The meeting is Tuesday at 5pm, so Kok and I will be back in time for that. Man, DA is really starting to feel like a mini community!! It's so great, I keep running into old friends and making new ones!!

I found out that Omner (that's just a nickname, 'course) loves to travel and also, his main interest is teaching. Very cool. He was also born on December 12th, so Suzuna and I are going to work up some sorta thing to do for him! It should be fun.. and he may be surprised that we took the time to find out his birthday (it's in his profile, but not many people look up the profiles). Oh yeah... what should we do? I don't know. There's nothing really of value we can give him in the game that he couldn't already get, so we'll probably just do something silly like "sing" him happy birthday or throw a party.

Speaking of birthdays... a certain someone is having a birthday really soon!! hmmmm... so many things I could do... I gotta find something just right to get her! ahahaha.. Kok's going to be 24!! omg girl you're OLD! bwahahahaha! kidding.

Ohh... check this out. It's a Zod Proverb:
"Sleep in water and you will think you are swimming."

Zod Proverb on sugar-hyper brain:
"Sleep in water and you'll sleep your thinking."

Yup. Don't ask, obey. G'nite everybody!

tick..tick...tick.... is it 5 yet?

I promised myself I would write an entry every day, even if I had nothing really to talk about, so here I am. I'm bored, bored, bored at work so I have plenty of time to write - but nothing really to write about. Funny that. Well, it's not that nothing's happening. Had fun in DA last night and discovered that Omner is hosting a play! It's hard for me to match up my online times with others, but we'll see! I'd love to help out. I'm seriously considering going to ADSL (if it's available in my area) in the New Year. I pay about that much now, for 56k! I should ask Dowco if they offer any ADSL packages and for how much. Or maybe I should just stick with Telus. I'd also like to ask Telus if they're going to compete with Fido's unlimited cel phone package. I'd like to stay with Telus, but I want that deal! $40/month, unlimited calling?? Sign me up!

Phew. Power tarot reading! Now I'm going to be all nervous if I get to befriend this new girl, "arachne". The cards don't look so hot for her, and I learned from Ono that I should have trusted the readings I get. Darn. I'll do a reading with my better cards at home, just to be sure. Wouldn't want to jeopardize a possible new friendship just because of a bunch of silly cards. Plus, I should note that until I know her real name and get to converse with her, it may be hard to tap into the energies properly. Oh, and no, I'm not going to post the tarot readings I did on my blog. Things like that are rather personal.

Bound by the time
on the clock
Bittersweet wondering
Quiet transfusion

Hold tight
Nothing is complicated
Hold tight
Everything's fine

Comfortings fell through
the hole in your pocket
The simple's illogical
so it be logic

I'm caught in the diaries
with all your complaining
The curious scriblings
of one who has everything

Leave me!
unholy and dirty and beautiful me!
Unholy and dirty and beautiful
