annie63's Journal

Six and a half years ago, I was driving home from Raleigh...Home. It was the first time I realized home was with Sir. Something happened to me when I was at the Servant's Retreat. So much of what I had longed for my entire life was coming together for the first time ever. I called Sir from the Highway and I said, I am almost home.

This week has been a tough one. It is so wonderful to know I have Home. I don't say it often enough, so...

Thank you, Sir, for being my home.

I am having less issues with flashbacks and sensitivity...I still don't feel comfortable driving by the courthouse...I still don't know how to believe what I experienced was real and yet, somehow, over...

But, I am doing better...

When the spirit strikes, it is time to step out of the ordinary and have a feyrie day...

Today the Shdwkitten, lil kitten and I took on this venture. Between the Bangers and Mash, Snakebites, Mystery Hill and Kilwin's ice cream, ordinariness was overcome and moments of feyriedom were achieved...

Just what I needed.

Thanks to two special ladies...

I love my new job. I am doing well in my master's program. Sometimes, I want to pull my hair out. Sometimes, I cry. Sometimes, I experience pride in those I am guiding. One recent occurrence has hit very close to home with me, however. Last week, one of my participants died. It was completely unexpected. He was relatively young, only 57. While I was talking with Sir, I said I think it's important to remember that people die. It puts things in perspective.

Ok, the fates conspired to bring me three events which REQUIRE a post in livejournal.

First of all, I am loving my new job! I love being back in school and I am learning amazing things that I can apply to my life and work.

Of course, being back in school also brings me back in the presence of individuals who exist just to entertain or irritate me. This time, however, a woman really crossed the line. A student in the class has managed to alienate all other students and yet remains clueless as to her own contribution to the situation. I can handle ignorance and naivete, to a degree. I cannot handle offensive, short-sighted, narrow-minded and thoughtless individuals. This student posted in our class discussion, first of all, that smoking is wicked. Then she continued on to say that those who are not in Christ or of Christ NEED counseling. To say I was stunned is to minimize my reaction. Her mindless babbling prior to this post was annoying, but tolerable. I cannot tolerate this last statement, however. I am still shaking my head and I have talked with my academic advisor about how offensive I felt this statement was. I cannot imagine anyone going into public health while ascribing to this way of thought.

Saturday morning, we were headed off to Raleigh with emrys in tow. We stopped to eat at a local Bojangles. During our gourmet chicken lunch, the overhead vents began to barrel waves of overheated air. Although, we brought it to the attention of management and were assured it was being handled, my hair was permanently dried in a tight curl by the time we left. Right before we left, I mentioned to some fellow diners something about the heat. I was then treated to my second adventure. This pair of older African-American woman began to talk about their church and how they were raising money for wells in foreign countries. Sir and I both pulled a dollar out of our wallets and gifted these self-described, "good, Christian women" money towards building the wells. To say that I felt like Alice in the rabbit hole would have been an understatement.

My third odd experience came when we arrived in Salisbury and stopped at a gas station to ask for directions to a flea market in the area. I barrelled out of the car and up to the first person I saw. I soon discovered that the man was deaf, so I addressed him in sign language. He was so pleased, he started signing very rapidly. I had to ask him to slow down. I did not get directions from him, but I did learn that he likes NC State, but despises Duke. Chuckles. I did find directions from a customer inside.

Don't ask me why, but I seem to attract the most interesting individuals! I just thought, I have to make a post to LJ. Even though I know the explanations of these events are inadequate, I wanted to post about them so I would never forget my crazy, whacky experiences!

On Monday, I start my new job with Goodwill working as a Vocational Rehabilitation counselor. The following Monday, I start my Master's program with Benedictine University!!

I am so glad to be getting into a normal schedule and grateful for the new opportunities...

Wishing everyone a merriest of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa as long as the days are filled with happiness!!!

Spice a day with laughter.
Mix with a happy song.
Add a PINCH of friendship,
as you go along.
Stir in lots of loving,
it makes no difference where.
Fold in daily toil,
and flavor with a prayer.

Anon.

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In September I saved a busload of nuns in Angola (326 points). In July I ate my brussel sprouts (1 points). In May I gave

sirwinterwolf a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points). In March I had a shoot-out with rival gang lords on the 5 near LA (-76 points). Last Sunday I ruled Canada as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points).

Overall, I've been nice (946 points). For Christmas I deserve a Pony Slaystation 3!

Sincerely,
annie63

</center>You are a loyal, deep thinker. You are best at being the voice of reason. The warm fuzzy blanket that keeps another centered, or a person's rock. You're not overtly interested in sex, which leaves you to focus on companionship....though unlike 'The Companion', rather than simply a loyal follower you'd do well as an advisor and protector. You've had some experience, which can only serve to help your position; Because not only to you have your deep-thinking mind to fall back on, but also life experiences to back them up.

You'd do great with people like you, it might even be interesting to see two people vying for the same position in a relationship. You would do okay with The Loving Fox, but they might be a little dissappointed with the lowered level of sexual interest on your part.

You would play a good dominant role (not in a sexual way) with the Companion and The Angel, you would probably serve as their companion, mentor, and lover to those two types.

You should avoid anyone who's focused on sexuality and NOT on companionship, and with your inteligence and experience they should be fairly easy to spot. One formmiddable enemy would be The Cyber-Sex Fiend and The Playful Fox, as no only do they not share your emphasis of love over sex, but can probably match your mind, and you could be fooled by them, especially The Playful Fox.

Last night was great fun even though my energy level was low. It was good to be around positive energy and I have to admit...I did have an extra special good time with a certain type of electrical energy...giggles wickedly.

Listening to moans from boy, ShdwKitten, Blue, talia, and others made the evening a true auditory delight. The wax and wicked chuckles from ShdwKitten also made for fun and naughtiness.

Thanks everyone!
