a good morning

On the train to work. I just found out this morning that SJ Tucker is going to be in town for a concert next Thursday at Life Force Arts Center. I’m really excited. I love seeing Sooj. Hopefully she’s staying with George and I, but she may have other plans. I can’t wait to see her.

I’m in a really solidly good mood this morning, and I’ve got no great explanation for it. Something must have gone right in the dream world last night. Or maybe I’ve just got euphoric hangover from Karate last night. My forearms are a bit sore, which is always frustrating. Any exertion or lifting with my hands twinges something fierce.

New Blog: Messages from Somewhere Else

I mentioned in a post yesterday that I’m working on some divination and spirit communication. I wanted to do so in a relatively public format, but I don’t think autumn twilight is the right place for what amounts to a journal of my divination and spirit communication work.

As a result I’ve set up a new blog: Message from Somewhere Else at http://spiritspeak.theogeer.net/. I hope that you find it interesting. If there is a topic you think I should turn my attention to please let me know in the comments. I’m starting out with some personal questions, but I’d like to do some work on more general things as well.

P.S. I know the theme isn’t very pretty. It’s a stock theme that I didn’t hate. I’ll eventually make a nicer one. If you have suggestions for a better stock theme for the time being please somment to let me know!

Jareds jealousy (story fragment)

Good and bad news for those of you who like it when I write fiction.

Good news: More fiction below
Bad news: as @si_storm tends to complain about “you never finish them.” I’m slightly sorry about that, but not really. To clarify, fiction that gets posted here is either a) a one off that just happened to be in my head, or b) small pieces of larger works that are taking my attention at the moment. What shows up here is rough draft at best. What is below is worse than a rough draft. Lets just say that tense is not my friend, particularly a first time through.

Anyway, here is the introduction to Gregory. Jared rescues him. This next little piece happens months, possibly years later.

tired. Can't sleep. Need a restorative.

I need to find some quiet. The world feels like it’s moving too fast around me. I haven’t had time to myself outside of the bed pretty much since last monday. I probably won’t get any until Wednesday. I might skip the opera tomorrow night. I really want to go, but I also really want the time to recuperate. I’ll probably go.

The full moon is very soon. Possibly tomorrow night, I’m not sure. I can feel it. My room i sreally dark right now. I’ve got all the blinds down and closed so the only light is the faint glow from the laptop, the clock and a bit of ambient light filtering through the blinds and from the hallway. I’m not really tired at all, but at the same time I’m fucking exhausted. I feel creatively drained and I’m not sure why.

Not inspired, but Writing about Writing.

I want to write, but I’m not really inspired by anything at the moment. Sometimes I find that if I just sit down and start typing, my thoughts will take me someplace interesting. Sometimes not so much. Either way I manage to get at least a few words down, and a few words is better then no words, even if they suck.

Present… Past…

While I was going through poetry earlier today, I stumbled upon this short sexy story. It’s kind of mind-bendy, and I should warn you that it’s violent, sexually explicit, and potentially contains examples of non-consensual sex (depending on how you view it). That said, if you’re kinky or violent, it will probably be enjoyable. This hasn’t been edited at all, and may have some major issues. (To be kind to your brain I added a bit of formatting to make it easier to understand. You’re welcome)

morning…

It’s feeling like a good morning. I had an interesting dream last night. I don’t remember all of it. But it was gave me an idea for a really interesting pair of characters. I think she belongs in the same story/universe that Jared and Gregory belong to. I’m not sure if the other character is supposed to be one of those two, or if he’s someone that I don’t recognize yet.

Imagine a girl who was never given a name as a child, and who has refused to take one. No, I’m not talking about the Childlike empress. This is difference. She lets people call her by their own personal nicknames for her, but she is looking for a name. She sees this guy who is smart and creative and seems to be extremely observant. She falls for him instantly and says “perhaps upon observing me, you could give me a name.”

Very mysterious, quasi-mythological character there. She’s dark-haired, thick and deep deep rown with honey colored eyes and dark olive skin. She’s tall for a woman, just over six foot, and in shape, but curvaceous for certain.

I’m meeting Coriander tonight for more lessons in ceremonial and goetic workings. It should be exciting and enjoyable. May be a bit of a late night though, we are’t starting until he gets home from work, probably around 9-ish or so. I’m going to try and bring Matthews stuff back to his place tonight too so it won’t be in my apartment anymore. It will be nice to have most of the Floor space in the living room back.

I should get paid this morning. That will make me happy. I like money. Then I can pay some of my bills and maybe spend a little money on me. I also have to find time to get a license plate sticker for my car, and a city sticker.

It promises to be a busy day at work today. There are several issues to explore, and several just flat out simple changes or modifications to interfaces and data-models. When it rains, it pours. I’ve been busier in the last three days than I have in the last month.
