1:36 am	"Oh God, killmekillmekillme...." ...So goes the chant I was repeating over and over again this morning before departing for work. Today was my classroom's field trip to the bowling alley. for those who don't know, I work in the severely autistic wing of a school for children and young adults with disabilities. Specifically, I am a one-to-one aide to an 18-year-old boy with serious violent tendencies and behavioral issues. The time in the classroom before boarding the bus was spent screaming at him to put his penis back in his pants. -_-; On top of revealing his genitalia, he also has a very hard time waiting, often resorting to violence if he doesn't get what he wants immediately. Myself and my fellow co-workers do not want this to happen, as he is a very large boy and can do some real damage if he feels compelled to do so. He also likes to grab women's breasts, as well as getting his hand all lathered up with his tongue and then touching someone with it. For times like that, we have these strict rules we must abide by in order to get him back under control. For the licking part, we have to put these thick ass winter gloves on him (which, to be totally honest with you, doesn't work at all because he just continues to lick his gloved hand and touch people with it. But hey, this is the brilliant idea the supposed experts came up with to modify his behavior, so who am I to talk?) If he starts hitting, we have to place this stupid foam karate helmet on his head that fastens on with velcro. But in order to nip this kind of behavior in the bud, he will be constantly rewarded by receiving a penny after demonstrating acceptable behavior. After receiving 10 pennies, he earns a candy corn. So I'm leading my charge onto the bus, somehow curtailing his behavior while balancing a container of candy corn, a jar of pennies, his gloves, his helmet, and his penny board (a clipboard with velcro on it that we stick the pennies to, which also have velcro on) in my hands, all the time hoping and praying that the Gods would just strike me dead on the spot before this fiasco begins. Thankfully, the trip wasn't the ninth circle of Hell I had anticipated. More like the fifth, maybe. My charge saw fit to leave his penis in his pants for the duration of the trip, but did start becoming very anxious near the end. He began to purposely slide off his seat onto the floor, almost knocking over a table in the process. He tried to steal my co-workers pepsi, as well as tried to run off. He also squeezed my hand real hard at one point, which is often a pre-cursor to more violent behavior. So before his behavior started to worsen, we rounded up all the students and got them onto the bus a little earlier than planned. My co-workers didn't mind that at all. But as soon as we stepped back into the classroom, my student began to grab my breasts, throw things, scream, and just be a real nuisance. God, I love my job. So I have been sick with bronchitis and had to stay home all last week. I arrived at my second job at the pre-school amidst much fanfare after my week-long hiatus. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot, all my babies who were playing on the playground ran over to the chain link fence, screaming and cheering and telling me how much they missed me. they even started chanting my name in unison, those darling little ass-kissers. I turned to one of my co-workers and jokingly asked if I should start signing autographs. But despite all this love and affection they showered upon me, they turned just as quickly. Christopher smacked me while I was putting his coat on him, Mae threw a fit, dropped to the ground and started rolling around in the mulch, becoming absolutely filthy in the process, and as for Isaiah...Oh, Lord. *sucks thumb while rocking back and forth in a fetal position, trying to suppress the memories.* And believe me, they were actually being tame that day. But seriously, I love all those lil' bastards. No really, I do. But I'm still getting my tubes tied. And um...that's that. Thank you for bearing witness while I ramble on endlessly about my jobs, as I try desperately to fall asleep. It's 1:54 a.m. and Thanksgiving dinner is being hosted here, ya think I should get some sleep? Yeah, me too. G'night, all. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

8:50 pm	My latest quiz I recently made a new quiz, you guys. Give it a high rating, ok? ;-) I'm eventually going to add a few more results when I get around to it. Ok, bye. The Scottish selkie was a being who appeared to be a seal, but had the ability to shed their skin and roam the land in human form. If a human were to happen upon the discarded seal skin, he or she could hide it and force the selkie to marry him or her. However, if the selkie were to ever find the skin, he or she would immediately reassume seal form and return to the sea from whence they came, leaving their spouse and offspring on land to forever mourn their loss. As a selkie, you are a very withdrawn, secretive and somewhat sad person, and those around you find you alluring and mystifying. People who come into your life find it difficult to find the inner you. You are also curious, but you enjoy the comforts of home most of all. Who is your inner Shapeshifter? brought to you by Quizilla (Comment on this)

12:50 pm	I just returned home from the voting booth not too long ago, and can now sleep soundly knowing that P. Diddy won't sneak into my house and kill me tonight. I voted for Kerry, by the way. Big shocker there, right? Anyways, as for the lack of updates: my life has just been really uneventful as of late. I've been sick the past few days and I hurt my back, so I haven't really done anything worthy of writing about. I didn't even attend my coven's Samhain ritual :-( Though I did see a couple of movies...Shark Tale and The Grudge. While I am a big fan of horror movies, I dare say I enjoyed the former more than the latter. (Spoilers coming up, just thought I'd tell you) All the scariest parts of The Grudge were in the commercials, and it simply wasn't very interesting. The storyline flip-flopped between past and present events without warning, creating some confusion at times. I also thought it was kind of dumb how the ghosts seemed to go after every single person who came in contact with the house, even following one chick to her job and later killing her in her apartment, while this one detective remained safe for three years after investigating the murders that took place there in 2001. So yeah, I thought it sucked and you may want to wait for it to come out of video. Shark Tale was cute, though. It was pretty funny and there were alot of references to The Godfather, which Alfred enjoyed immensely. I also beat .Hack: Quarantine finally. After spending $200 and a whopping 130+ hours over the course of several years, I finally saw the ending to the .Hack series...and it didn't explain ANYTHING! -_-; Andres offered to lend me the .Hack Sign DVDs, but I doubt that'll explain anything either. Damn confusing storylines...speaking of which, I found my copy of Silent Hill 4 under a stack of cds, so I'm going to try to beat that next. And so, that's about it. Bye all.

11:13 pm	Figures. As soon as we close the pool, it's been 80 degrees all week -_-; Anyways, I run a Neil Gaiman guild on go-gaia.com, and one of it's members told us about this really funny webcomic called Nice Hair. It's about Neil Gaiman, Tim Burton, and Robert Smith (affectionately referred to as Fat Bob) all living in an apartment together. There are special appearances by Danny Elfman, a gay German superhero named Uber-Man and his sidekick Bloat-Boy, who has the amazing ability to make people...well, bloated. So go check that out. That will be all. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:28 pm	Long time no see, eh? I really ought to update this thing more often...Anyways, I got a new job recently. I now work in a school for teenagers and young adults with disabilities, more specifically I am working one-on-one with a highly autistic 18-year-old boy. It's challenging, but I really like it. The pay is good, the benefits are good, and I really like my co-workers. The students can be real pains-in-the-asses, though :-P I attended Cruciblecon yesterday, a convention for mages, occultists, witches and the such. The first panel I went to almost had me running out of the building screaming. It was entitled, "The History of Witchcraft: Then and Now" and let me tell you, it SUCKED. The horribly ill-informed woman running the panel was telling us some bullshit story about how the world was once this wonderful utopia where witches were able to practice their craft out in the open without suffering any persecution, till TEH EBIL CHRISTAINS!!!1!!1 came along and decided the witches would make the perfect scapegoat for all the ills of the world and proceeded to kill them all off. Later panels more than made up for this travesty, especially the Kali Puja. Poor Norma was so nervous she was shaking uncontrollably. It was incredible though, and I feel it was the best workshop there. We all set up an altar for Kali with pictures and statues (including the infamous Kali Barbie doll ^_^) and a little corner just for Ganesh. We decided it was His birthday that day, so coyotegrrrl baked Him a cake! We danced, chanted and drummed, and made offerings to the deities. We later partook in b-day cake, cookies and candy in Their honor, and Norma told us the story of how Kali defeated the demon Raktavija, whose name means desire. She said that desire constantly eats away at us and if we allow Her into our hearts, She can help us defeat desire and live happy lives. That's the abbreviated version, though. Trust me, Norma's version was much nicer ^_^ Another one I liked was the faery magick panel, run by Jeff Mach and a guy named Piggy. I don't mean to sound like some airy-fairy new age hippy, but the energy emanating from Piggy was simply incredible. I can't see how anyone could possibly be in a bad mood when he's around, he's got such a positive aura surrounding him. He seemed to read me like a book at one point, lecturing me like a stern but loving parent would and telling me that I'm beautiful and shouldn't be depressed. Without going into very many details, let's just say I'm glad I used my good, expensive mascara that doesn't run that day. :) In other news, a cobra lily has been added to my collection of carnivorous plant life. The flowers really do resemble cobra heads, and it secretes a sticky, clear liquid that attracts insects who later enter the opening in the flower and are ingested. It is getting along swimmingly with my beloved venus fly trap on the windowsill, though I hope no battles for bugs ensue in the future. Well, I'm going to go now. Have a nice day.

7:57 pm	I'm back in the real world Lughnasadh is finally over. Patty and I are now free to return to the waking world. I was instructed to write this down as soon as humanly possible, as I have a tendency to completely forget rituals as soon as they are over. So I now bring you my in-depth and incredibly long-winded analysis of the Lughnasdh ritual. ( Read more... ) Eh, the ancient druids are probably spinning in their graves right about now -_-; But you ain't seen nothing yet! Just you wait till next year! On the next episode of Jerry Springer: "I have a sexy secret!" Jerry: So Blodeuedd, you brought your husband Lugh here to tell him a secret. Blodeuedd: That's right Jerry, I been sleepin wit another man. Lugh: What!? Blodeuedd: That's right, bitch! You ain't my baby daddy! Lugh: Oh yeah? Well I have a secret for you, too! I've been cheating on you...with this goat! Goat: Bahhhhh! Blodeuedd: Whore! *bashes goat over the head with a chair* I am so going to get smited... Current Mood: nerdy (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:49 pm	Pagan Picnic in Piscataway For those of you who may be interested, there will be a Pagan picnic run by Hands of Change taking place in grove 5 of Johnson's park in Piscataway on Saturday, August 14th. In attendance will be Isaac Bonewits, founder of ADF and webmaster of http://www.neopagan.net/ There will be workshops, vendors, food, cool people and lots of other stuff. Myself, Patty, and many members of GoG, PoP, and HoC will be there. Norma and Ed recently got me addicted to a band called Helium Vola, which is like a mixture of goth, techno, and classical. They sing in German, French, Italian, and Latin, and many of the lyrics are actually spells. My favorite song of theirs at the moment is "Omnis Mundi Creatura." It sounds a little like "One Winged Angel" from FF7. It's a pretty cool band, so check that out. And um...that's about it for now. Don't forget to check out http://www.othergods.org/index.html for information regarding our Lughnasadh ritual on the 22nd. Bye! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:30 pm	I see naked people. They're everywhere... Patty, myself, and a few other members of GoG attended a Lammas ritual in a 175-year-old farm house in PA, hosted by a very nice Wiccan family. We missed the majority of the ritual due to bad weather, but the atmosphere and friendly attendees more than made up for it. My favorite part of the day was going through the maze made from trees and shrubs. There were interesting things to see at every bend. For example, Patty and I turned a corner and walked down a path that had these beautifully colored, icicle-shaped crystals dangling from the branches on either side, and at the end of the path, there stood a lovely marble faerie statue. At one point in the maze, we came across a very cute replica of a pagan gathering consisting of dozens of Barbie dolls...There were a bunch of dolls sitting around a little plastic campfire while one strummed a miniature guitar, a bunch of dolls were on their knees paying homage to a half-naked fairy Barbie suspended in the branches above them to simulate flight, and a little farther from the others were some same-sex doll couples copulating beneath the foliage -_-; There was so much to see and do on this family's huge property. And the fact that it was so far apart from everything else added to the otherworldly atmosphere. Oh yeah, and there were also a bunch of revelers going skyclad...Patty and I didn't even know about that part 'till Ed and Norma told us in the car on the way down. Even though we were told about this beforehand, it still came as a shock when we walked in the door and were greeted with a nice, tight hug by a topless Lady Sue. But after encountering a host of people in various states of undress throughout the day, it wasn't really a big deal anymore. In other news, if you check out www.othergods.org you will find a picture of a very discontent Blodeuwedd being hugged by a very gay looking Llew. Sorry guys, I'm not very good at drawing men. They always turn out very effeminate looking...You will also find mine and Patty's (writing under the pen name Kiddoh) renditions of their respective stories. As for Lughnasadh, we have another planning meeting on the 15th at my house to work out a few more bugs, and a "rehearsal dinner" on the 21st. This ritual is going to be great. We are even going to order a sheet cake with "Congratulations Lugh and Blodeuwedd" written on it, and we purchased this really adorable wedding topper for it. The bride and groom are back to back with their arms crossed. ^_^ Ok, I have to go now. Later y'all. Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)

10:18 pm	Happy Birthday to me! It's my birthday today, mothafuckas. The big 23. I bet you are all wondering what I will be doing as celebration. Clubbing? Nah. Bar hopping? uh-uh. Donkey show? Tempting, but no. I'm going to Medieval Times, babeh! I hope my knight wins! ^_^ Damn, I am such a dork... Well I'll be off now. Teen Titans is on. It's the episode where Slade forces Robin to be his apprentice and forces him to call him "master". It's very homoerotic if you ask me. And then I'm going to play Fatal Frame: Crimson Butterfly. Yay, let the celebrations commence! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!1!!!1!!!1 Current Mood: dorky (5 Comments |Comment on this)

6:15 pm	Midsummer Safari The midsummer ritual was great, as was expected. We paraded through New Brunswick in our finest animal regalia, Patty with my black wings and myself with white (both pairs of wings will come in very handy come Lughnasadh when Lugh and Blodeuwedd turn into a hawk and an owl respectively). I got to carry a long, swirly snake banner and Norma said all I needed was an apple and I would've been the perfect Lilith ;-) We went onto the campus of Rutgers and had a story telling contest, in which the winner (Ed) received a bag of Crow and Coyote medicine. We all received worry dolls as a souvenir afterwards. After the rit, a bunch of us hung around Norma and Ed's house conversing and laughing well into the night. We poked fun at all the strange things we found on the internet, like otakukin and Yogi Bear/Booboo slash fanfics, and Norma told us about the seemingly sweet, little old lady who invited her to a "senior love-making session" while she and Ed were at Starwood. I swear, I don't think I've laughed that long and hard in all my life. ^_^; I also saw Stepford Wives with Patty and Kelly on Sunday. I'm just letting you all know, you may want to wait till it comes out on video. It was nothing like the original; it was very goofy and there were quite a few holes in the script. I am looking forward to Fahrenheit 9/11 next weekend hopefully. Alrighty, I have to go. Time for dinner. Bye! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:48 pm	I was hoping this update would be about all the fun stuff I did at Animenext. But alas, I missed it :( Not only did my entire entourage have to work that day, but Patty had to take part in some family event and Patti fell ill. It's alright, though. Perhaps it was divine intervention that prevented me from going. Perhaps had I made it there, I would have gotten into a car accident or attacked by some deranged anime fan or something. Eh, I heard it sucked anyway. Andres tells me he was unimpressed. And anyway, there is always BAAF... So anyways, I shall now reiterate a conversation between myself and my mother during dinner: Mom: So what are you doing this Saturday? Going to some witch thing? Me: Yes, as a matter of fact. We are going to parade around New Brunswick dressed as animals. Mom:...Why? Me: To pay homage to the nature spirits that reside there. *awkward silence accompanied by one raised eyebrow look* Mom: Don't get into any trouble with the police, I won't be around to bail you people out. Awww mom, no need to worry! New Brunswick is home to Crazy-Wheelchair-Man, a guy whose idea of fun is to wheel himself to the top of a hill and go flying down in the middle of traffic. New Brunswick also boasts a very large populace of homeless people who like to stand on the street corners screaming and hollering at innocent passersby. And let's not forget to mention the guy who hangs out in front of the comic book store dressed as spiderman trying (and failing miserably) to climb atop the trees that grow out front. Considering all the rather interesting denizens who frequent New Brunswick, I find it highly doubtful that the police will be even the least bit perturbed by a bunch of hippies parading around wearing antlers, wings, and tails. Patty is borrowing my black feathery wings from last Halloween for the event, and I'm thinking of going as either a cat or maybe a butterfly. My brother even wanted to go. He wants to be a fish and flop around on the pavement -_-; No officer, I assure you we are all perfectly sane. And now, it's time for another super happy fun time book review! YAY!!! I finished reading "Running With Scissors" by Augusten Burroughs. They say fact is stranger than fiction, and this book is a perfect testament to that statement. It is the bizarre true story of the author's insane upbringing. His mentally unbalanced mother gives him to her even crazier therapist to raise when she realizes she is more interested in writing shitty poetry than being a parent. The Doctor's house is a complete shambles, with many of his patients having taken up residence there. He and his family are often times crazier than they are. His childhood, as you can no doubt imagine, is highly unusual. He ends up dropping out of school at age 13 with the help of the doctor, who helps him stage his own suicide attempt, he falls in love with a 30-something pedophile who lives in the barn out back, and he is often witness to his mother's numerous mental breakdowns. One of my favorite parts in the book is when he laments that his life is so different than those of his peers, and he wishes he could just be normal: "How could I just sit here obediently pinning a butterfly's wings to a lab tray or memorizing prepositional phrases? When the other boys in the locker room were showering and talking about their weekends playing soccer, what was I supposed to say? 'Oh, I had a great time. My thirty-three-year-old boyfriend said he wished they could package my cum like ice cream so he could eat it all day.'" Burroughs, despite having very little education, is an extremely witty and talented writer. The book is as hilarious as it is disturbing, and I highly recommend it. :-) And that will be all for today. Bye now! Current Mood: sleepy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:47 pm	I just picked up my brother from work, and he told me a very interesting story I would like to share with you all now. A customer comes into the store wanting to return an X-Box he recently purchased, saying the lid wouldn't open. He explains that his friend was watching a dvd in it when it got jammed, and it wouldn't open at all. He says he really needs the dvd back. So my brother plugs it in and fiddles around with it, and finally manages to get it open. He takes out the dvd. It's entitled "Butt Pumpers" and has a picture of a man fucking some chick in the ass on it. "No wonder my friend needed it back so badly!" laughs the customer. Yeah. Right. It was his "friend's" dvd. Uh-huh. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

7:09 pm	Shrek is evil! Evil, I tell you!!!!1!!!1 Have you guys seen Shrek 2 yet? I have. I thought it was very funny. But did you know there is something downright sinister hiding behind that facade of seemingly "wholesome" children's entertainment? Something...evil? Well then, you must read this article: http://www.ydr.com/story/mike/27843/ I was a bit surprised that the TVC failed to mention the perils of experimenting with "magic potions", as well as dating outside one's species. But at least they are out there trying to educate the world about the transgender agenda prevalent all throughtout the movie. Some silly people are out there trying to rid the world of poverty or saving the environment, but the Traditional Values Coalition has their priorities straight. They are out there trying desperately to save us from the dangerous influence of Shrek, denouncing the evils of Harry Potter, and outing the Teletubbies. Thank you, TVC! Anyways, in other news, I have finally acquired for myself a set of very rare Vertigo tarot cards. They normally go for $100+, but I got mine for about $60. I thought some of the cards were a bit of a stretch: Mad Hettie as the High Priestess, or Delirium as Temperance, for example. But when you read the accompanying book which describes why certain characters were chosen for particular cards, it actually does make sense. The images are made up of collages and often times depart from the "traditional" Rider-Waite ones. They are very eerie yet beautiful, and the book is by far the most comprehensive, interesting, and thought-provoking book on tarot I have ever owned. Some scans and a review of the deck are available here: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/vertigo/index.shtml I recently got myself another job. I will be a substitute at a school for handicapped children, and the principal has already offered me a full time position for September. The pay is pretty good, and it also offers benefits, so I'm quite happy about that. So, um...I guess that will be all for today. Bye! Current Mood: happy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:23 pm	Altar assignment The dedicant's meeting was canceled due to Norma having laryngitis and will be rescheduled in July. Now I have plenty of time to do the assignments I was supposed to have ready on Saturday! Here's a couple of pictures of my altar and the picture I drew of Lilith that is currently in a frame and serving as the vocal point. http://www.geocities.com/laurena713/Altarpg.html As you can see, photography is not my forte. Anyway, Lilith is often depicted as the snake that tempted Eve to eat the apple, and at other times, she has bird-like qualities. I have flanked on either side of the framed drawing, right in front of the red and black candles, a card from The Goddess Oracle and The Goddess Card Deck. One, she is partially covered in snake scales. In the other, she has wings on her back and bird-like legs. Accompanying each card is some shed snake skin (courtesy of Dave's pet snake) and a black feather. My oil diffuser serves as my well, that pink (strawberry cheesecake scented, mmmmm) candle in the sconce on the wall is the flame, and that piece of wood (which was blasted off an old oak tree by a bolt of lightning) is my tree. I also have a couple of Venus of Willendorf figures on there, just cause I like 'em. I have to start reading the Mabinogi soon, also. In other news, I saw the latest installment of the HP saga with Patty, Patti, a bunch of friends from GoG, and a whole slew of Sandrock's gamer friends. It was pretty good, except I had a problem with some things. For example, they didn't explain why Harry's patronus was a white stage, nor who was responsible for the creation of the marauder's map. They also didn't show Ron's new owl at the end. But it was okay. I still like Chamber of Secrets better, though. I am now solely responsible for making Patty obsessed with Karaoke Revolution. She got 3 platinums in a row her first time playing! She even got a platinum in "It's the End of the World as We Know It"! (That was around the same time she discovered you could just hum the words instead of actually singing them and still pass the song...) I'm going to make her join the competition now, and steal her prize afterwards, MUAHAHAHA!!! Cause we all know I'm not winning. Alrighty, time for bed. Good night!

11:17 am	Nick just got a new job at Game Crazy next to Stop N Shop, starting on Tuesday. So if you want a new game, be sure to get it from there. He gets commission every time he makes a sale. He's of course very happy, as he's been wanting to work there since it opened. I'm happy too, because he's going to give me discounts on all my purchases ^_^ There's also going to be a Karaoke Revolution competition there sometime in the near future, so be sure to sign up. Nick and Tim convinced me to sign up, and I don't know why the hell I did. The only song I can pass is Billie Jean. I managed to get a gold record in it, but only on easy :-( Come to think of it, I don't think I could even get a prize even if by some miraculous twist of fate I manage to win, since I'm related to an employee. Oh yay, so I can be humiliated in front of all those people for nothing... Patty returned from her road trip yesterday, and brought back lots of cool stuff. She got me some pewter owl earrings, necklace, and broach, lots of wierd candy (my favorite of course being Amber, a big chunk of hard candy with a real grasshopper and larvae imbedded in it) and a venus fly trap! It's so cute! My mom was having fun sticking her fingers in it's "mouths"; they chomp down like a mouse trap, it's so adorable! ^_^ She also took a bunch of pictures, including some very cool ones of wolves howling, a couple of bears fighting, the obligatory Old Faithful photo op, and even a tornado that went right past her hotel window. She had a lot of fun and a lot of interesting stories to share. We will be making the journey this summer, and I'm really looking forward to it. We were thinking of going to Salem, Massuchusetts around Halloween, but it's most likely going to be really expensive. Trust me, Salem in October is like Time Square on New Year's, so we will probably have to wait till next year for that vacation. But I'm sure no matter what we do, we will have fun. I have to get going now, there are some things I must do before the ritual starts. We will be attending a ritual in which Mary, Mother of God, will be crowned May Queen. I have to scramble to find something cute to wear, plus I have to purchase some flowers, ribbons and food for the occasion. I also have some pictures I want to share with you all as soon as I get them scanned. So, see ya all later! Here, have a quiz. I enjoyed this one: You are THE REAL THING! You are just a regular person with alternative beliefs. You don't feel you have anything to prove and are just enjoying life. Good for you!

9:14 pm	Mother Sarawati is one goddess that you're like. Saraswati means "The essence of the self." This Goddess gives knowledge and the wisom and strengh to become what you want to reach. Many students or teachers may worship this goddess in beleif to gain the power of reaching their goal. You want to reach your goal in life and you want the strengh to accomplish a high level of standards to be successful. So much like Saraswati, you may be deeply into music or art and that means you are most like her than the rest of the Goddess What Hindu God or Goddess are you like? brought to you by Quizilla (Comment on this)
