I’ve got a lot to say apparently

October 11, 2009 Written by Lisa

That or else I’m bored with no one to talk to. You decide.

1. Is there anybody you just wish would fall off the planet?
Nah. I’m sure there are many that *I* think this world could do without *coughdickcheneycough* but that’s not my call. Besides, I am sure there is at least one person *coughcousinwhohatesmecough* who wishes I’d fall off the earth so it’s all relative. (ha! no pun intended but there you go!)

2. How do you flush the toilet in public?
Is there a written protocol for doing this that I missed somehow? How many ways are there to flush a toilet? I must say, having been in a few airports recently, I want the toilets that allow me to determine when I will flush. I don’t like being at the mercy of some timer or hand movement or whatever.

3. Do you wear your seatbelt in the car?
This is the ONE New Year’s Eve resolution I made and kept. Back in the good old days, there was no law or even very much emphasis on wearing a seat belt. Hell, we didn’t even have shoulder harnesses when I started driving. Now, you can’t escape it and for that I’m glad. I don’t feel right if I’m not wearing one.

4. Do you have a crush on someone?
Does my love for David Cook count? I’m always crushing on someone. It’s part of being 12.

5. Name one thing you worry about running out of.
Half and half for my coffee. Coffee minus this I cannot abide.

6. What famous person do you (or other people) think you resemble?
I don’t think I’ve ever been told I resemble anyone famous.

7. What is your favourite pizza topping?
Pepperoni and/or mushroom – I live on the edge.

8. Do you crack your knuckles?
Oh my God. No. Duty does this and it makes my skin crawl.

9. What song do you hate the most?
There are several songs I would get out of a warm tub to turn off immediately: “Piano Man” (hate it AND it has a very bad association with someone) and “Tom Sawyer” by Rush (hate hate hate this song with a flaming passion)

10. Did just mentioning that song make it get stuck in your head?
No, I have an automatic setting that wipes them from my brain now. It also randomly misfires and wipes other things as well, but it’s worth it.

11. What are your super powers?
I can feel what someone else is feeling. (It’s called Emotional Oneness” technically.) That has both an upside and a downside, as you can imagine.

12. Peppermint or spearmint?
Always spearmint! MMM

13. Where are your car keys?
In my pocketbook. I don’t need them to open the Prius (it has a sensor thingy) so I keep them in there at all times.

14. Last song you listened to?
“Collide” by Howie Day

15. What’s your most annoying habit?
I tend to think I know what someone’s going to say (it’s that emotional oneness thingy), I often assume what’s coming and at times have interrupted to answer because they aren’t getting to the question fast enough. That’s pretty rude, I know. (Yes, I’m right 90% of the time but that just makes it worse, doesn’t it?)

16. Where did you last go on vacation?
Ft. Collins, Colorado for Cousin O’Love’s son’s wedding. It was big fun!

17. What is your best physical feature?
I have lovely eyes that say all I cannot say in words. Also, boobies.

18. What CD is closest to you right now?
I don’t buy cds anymore. I have my Ipod with me usually. The one I do have is, predictably, Cookie’s and it’s in the car.

19. What 3 things can always be found in your refrigerator?
Half and half, leftover something or other that I didn’t eat and cheese.

20. What superstition do you believe/practice?
In Wicca, they ascribe to the law of three – whatever you put out there in the Universe comes back to you threefold. That resonates with me and is one of the reasons I don’t put yuck out there. I really don’t want it flinging back in my face.

21. What colour are your bed sheets?
Pale blue and yellow

22. Would you rather be a fish or a bird?
Oh, a bird. I would love to fly! (I’m not a strong swimmer and it’s easier to be eaten as a fish than a bird.)

23. Last thing you broke?
Something in the garage. I didn’t look too closely. I just sort of ran away.

24. What are you having to eat tonight?
I have no idea. I’m going to Charlottesville as part of the David Cook caravan so am at the mercy of the driver, I think. Wherever we go is fine with me.

25. What colour shirt are you wearing?
Now? Pink Later? Not sure yet.

26. If you could be doing anything else today, what would you rather be doing?
I’m pretty much doing what I’d want to be doing although I’d prefer if I didn’t have to drive all over east Jesus to get there.

27. Do security cameras make you nervous?
No. I don’t tug at my undies or pick my nose in public so it’s all good.

28. If you wrote a book about your life, what would the title be?
“Perpetually 12” – regular readers of this here blog can attest to that.

29. Last time you went to a cemetery?
I don’t go to cemeteries much but whenever I am in Northern VA, I stop by to chat with my Goddaughter of Love. She resides under a tree and it’s very peaceful there. I talk to her and just hang out in the energy. I often wish I were clairvoyant so I could see the energies in places like that but my guides tell me I’m not quite ready for that.

30. Last concert you went to?
Sekrit boyfriend in Delaware. Good show, suck ass seats. Tonight I will come full circle from April because I have front row seats in Charlottesville, courtesy of my friend Jen.

31. Favourite musician(s)/bands you’ve seen in concert?
Um, take a guess. Although if I had to pick someone else, I’d say Matt Nathanson who opened for Dave in Virginia Beach. Man, that guy could work an audience like nobody’s business. It was a great show.

32. Next concert you’re planning to attend?
How timely of a question! Sekrit boyfriend (who is recovering from tonsillitis) tonight in Charlottesville.

33. Do you talk to yourself?
Out loud? Sometimes. In my head? Always.

34. Have you ever adopted or purchased a pet?
Max de dogg was adopted as was Murphy, my kitty cat. MommyCat was a stray that I took in.

35. Have you ever been present when an animal is being born?
Yep – six kitties born to MommyCat and it was both a marvelous and terrifying event. I loved those kitties with a passion and held and petted them all. Probably why they were so amenable to being held and loved.

Saturday Nine – Rain

August 1, 2009 Written by Lisa

Saturday 9: Rain

1. What do you typically like to do on a rainy day?
If I had my druthers, I’d read, take a nap, drink lots of coffee …. you know, stuff I do all the time anyway.

2. Tell us about the last time you did something you later regretted, that you can share with us.
That I can share? Well, that narrows things down quite a bit. It’s a dumb work thing but early in my time there, I didn’t send up a stock certificate the usual way (i.e. booking it in on the system so it can be accounted for and tracked.) I just sent it off to some wrong department – I have NO idea why. My angels kept prodding me to follow up on it and twice I started but got sidetracked. Of course, as luck would have it, the cert belonged to the husband of our office big wig. Neither her assistant nor I followed up on this so it was a good three weeks before we realized it was missing. I was so mad at myself for not doing it the right way, first of all, and then not listening to my angels to try and find it before it became a huge issue. It caused both the big wig AND her assistant to lose faith in me and I had to work to earn back their trust. No one ever found the cert and it had to be replaced and I had to answer 100 questions as to why I didn’t do it according to procedure (rightly so) and I was humbled by the entire episode. And now I book in every single thing and track all of them. At least I learned. (But I felt like such a dumbass.)

3. I recently got an email from a lover from a very long time ago. I was asked “Have all your dreams come true?” If it were you and it was from someone you remember fondly, how would you answer the question?
I’d say that I’m definitely on track to realizing my dreams.

4. If you had a job interview and was asked, “If you were an animal, what kind would you be (other than human?)” How would you answer that question.
I can be nothing else but a cat. I love treats, independence, occasional lovies and naps.

5. Do you think it is a good idea to share with a new lover stories of your past lovers?
Depends on the relationship and the person. I’d be more comfortable sharing things from much older relationships than anything real recent but I’m pretty open if asked.

6. When do you think it is permissible or even important to lie?
Oh, I don’t like to hurt anyone’s feelings so if the question is not of any life changing import, I’d consider it. Also, it depends on the person and situation. Some can take it, some cannot.

7. What was the last thing you did that you never thought you would?
I ate some steamed crabs last week that were not very good and I left one on the table. I can’t recall a time I’ve EVER left a steamed crab so it had to be pretty yucky.

8. What is one important lesson that you learned from your mother?
Don’t just blurt out whatever weird shit floats into your head. HAVE A FILTER that’s based on empathy. She didn’t – not at all and stabbed me and others many times with her words.

9. What is one important lesson that you learned from your father?
Life can be worth living even if you can’t see and can’t walk. (Although maybe for not a very long time, but still.)

Cheezits

July 12, 2009 Written by Lisa

This damn cold, which Jaelin says is definitely energetic fallout from Counseling week, is finally starting to ebb away. I am a craptastic patient – whiny, mopey and just no damn fun, as anyone who has been the recipient of my emails from the past few days can attest. Anyway, that’s on the way out and I hope to be back to my fabulously fun self in mere hours.

Here’s how bored I was: I ran out of stuff to surf on the internets!! It is true, y’all. I got to the very edge of the ‘nets and peered over only to see a huge abyss staring back at me. I can’t read but so much political crap without wanting to throw something, I’m not into the gossip anymore and besides, I don’t even know who the hell half these people are. Aack.

So here’s what I did instead of surfing: the laundry, read some, watched the last 40 minutes of Jerry Maguire (who both completes me and had me at hello, fyi), wrote three pages of pent up grievances and then burned it in a metal bucket sending it out into the ether, made that easy chicken dish for dinner, strolled around Kmart for no good reason, got my nails done and played with Sophie.

I did pieces parts of a meme so each day I will post a few for your daily list needs.

Here are a few in no particular order:

3. I’ve come to realize that when I’m driving. . it helps my mood to let people in line or otherwise do something nice that was unexpected.

4. I’ve come to realize that I need. . . to be able to sit by the water.

5. I’ve come that realize that I have lost. . . the only “child” I will have in this lifetime. But I am so glad to have had complete and unconditional love with her. It’s a wonderful gift.

6. I’ve come to realize that I hate it when. . . I see/hear about animal cruelty. I cannot even bring myself to read anything about it.

7. I’ve come to realize that if I’m drunk. . . I probably had a really good time getting that way.

And some from this week’s meme:

6. I am … feeling much better.

7. I feel … better. (Am I stuttering?)

8. I see … that I have been a slug for almost a week.

9. I need … a haircut and color. (Tuesday! YEY!)

10. I love … my freedom.

11. I wish … someone would friggin’ nominate me for “What not to wear”

12. I think … I’d hide my four David Cook related t-shirts (along with my “Peace, Love and Coffee” one) so Stacey and Clinton won’t make me throw them out.

13. I hear … the birdies still chirping.

14. I crave … intimacy.

15. I fear … intimacy.

16. I hope … I get over that one day.

Doggie Paddling to Friday

June 25, 2009 Written by Lisa

First, thanks to Gentle Readers Jody and The Gal for their insightful comments on my last post. I’ve had baby lust forever and I can’t even go into the baby clothes section of stores without melting into a puddle of “what could have been” so it’s probably some of that stirred into my boiling cauldron of Meh-ness. And yes, the journey back into dense energy was hard – I was fine Monday and Tuesday but lost it completely yesterday and today I just tried to hang in there ’til 4:30. I’d love to call in sick but that’s not an option. Glad that next week is just 4 days.

Stolen from my source (whom I haven’t stolen from in a long time):

I can’t…
* sing on key much
* give up my addiction to David Cook (nor do I want to!)
* do any kind of math much above addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
* de-clutter
* have babies of my own

but I can…
* converse with angels
* fast for twelve days
* write kick ass stories (for special eyes only)
* afford really good bras for the ta-ta’s of love
* be disciplined about taking ALL my million supplements

I won’t…
* eat brussell sprouts
* miss an episode of the new season of “Mad Men” (Thanks for yet another addiction, Gal! heh)
* marry David Cook (much to my chagrin)
* start smoking
* ever, ever forget my amazing Goddaughter of Love, Lauren

but I will…
* carry her Light with me at all times
* get ordained sometime in the near future
* stop using Splenda completely
* de-tox my liver fully
* have my very own healing practice

I shouldn’t…
* get all spazzy when people act like morons
* love my laptop and Ipod touch as much as I do
* continue to be so damn cluttery
* eat sugar any more
* have to listen to Neighbor Greg hack and cough and sound all barfy in the morning as I am enjoying my peaceful morning coffee

and I should…
* thank the Universe every damn day for a job that allows me to do the things I want to do when I’m not there
* comment more on the blogs I visit
* do my Seminary homework (lots to do!)
* send Nikki a “Congrats on having such a cute baby” card
* write in my journal more

How’s that for a Friday meme?

Bummer news about Michael Jackson, wasn’t it? I heard someone talking about how so many people enabled him in his drug dependency that it made Anna Nicole Miller’s life look disciplined by comparison. We will probably never know what really happened to Michael somewhere along the line that caused him to implode before our eyes, but I hope he finds some peace now. As I said in the post before this, having fame and power is very difficult even if you are an internally strong person. But it’s so much worse if you’re not. I’m happy in my own little non-powerful, non-famous life. If that’s what fame does to someone, you can keep it.
