Where are you?

"I'm right here."

"No, you're not..."

I'm enjoying a lot of the new friends i've been making, recently. But i'm still worried about the rest of you.

Long nights, good conversations, countdowns to arrivals. Talked about mech_angel, a lot, tonight... And i'm ok with that. :)

There are rats, squirrels, and/or raccoons, in my attic. I'm not so very ok with that. As they sound like full sized human beings, moving around, up there. It's freaking me out, just a bit. They're right over my room.

I'm going to bed, now.

Dream Well

Friday Etymology:

Cake - 05 [Daria]--- Today's is a bit different, 'kay, kiddies? I want you to give me the etymology and what you feel are the most appropriate definitions of this word:

Spelling.

Nine Inch Nails - [The Perfect Drug]--- There, now, with that festering, for a bit, my dreams, last night consisted of me fighting for my life, and chocking someone into unconsciousness, with the help of Adam Baldwin and Morena Baccarin. It was a pulley system, with a chain around my hands, behind my back, and looped around the other guy's neck. It was a combination of Horizons, and my house, and there was something about cake, perhaps. Definately something about all the people with whom I interacted, yesterday, and the things we said, to each other. So that was good.

Static-X - [All in Wait]--- Off to put the checks in the bank, and got to work. Talk to you lot, later.

Ta.

{12.38pm EDT: Poe - [A Rose Is A Rose]--- Also? Rats or whateverthefucktheyare were fighting, all damned night, Directly Over My Head. I hear this clawing, scrabbling, tuhmping scraping sound, every time i get near a deep sleep. I'm giving them another chance, then they're gone; pets of Ganesh, or no.}

Meme, because mech_angel tagged me, and I like to accomodate. A

Warren Zevon - [Run Straight Down]--- There. Another long, boring day, today. Keep in mind, when i say "long," it has nothing to do with linear time, and everything to do with mental and personal relativity. Times of the day are proportionally faster or slower, in relation to the speed at which the individual is travelling. (The Servant - [Cells]). The more i'm doing, the faster my day moves. You know how this works.

I've been thinking about magic (or howeverthefuck the individual chooses to *ahem* spell it), a lot lately. Not just "magic," whatever that means, but about perceptual reality, as a whole. John Constantine, written by Brian Azzarello, once said that "I've heard it said that nine-tenths of reality is perception. In my trade, it's eleven-tenths. If I can't completely change your idea of what's real, well then, the trick doesn't Work." (Ben Folds Five - [Mitchell Lane]). I find that to be more and more true, lately. Not so much in the "Forcing My Perceptions On You," so much as the "Cracking Open Your Skull And Letting The Sun Shine In." For me, it's about creating an awareness of possibilities, and options. You know this. I repeat myself.

I don't ever want to talk down to you. (Mindless Self Indulgence - [Straight to Video]). I want to talk across, and near, and whisper secrets in your ear, but i never, ever want to seriously talk down to you. You are not children, most of you. You are capable of seeing, creating, doing, experiencing, devouring wonderful things. Your lives have whatever worth and whatever legion you give them. You are in control of the transcendent aspects of your nature, and you are, in large part, who you choose to be. You are capable human beings, and you are more than powerful enoug to do whatever the fuck it is you want you do. Maybe you haven't found the Tools yet. Make them. Maybe you don't know how. Learn How. Maybe you don't even know what the fuck it is you want to do. Wander, and Figure it Out.

Static-X - [Otsegolectric]--- If i call you "Kids," or "Children," it's not because I think of you that way, in anything other than an ironic sense. I just want you to open your eyes. Just wake up, a little bit... Just enough to get in the car...

Tom Waits - [Downtown Train]--- Perception and observation are dangerous things. They change things, and they rework how the world works, in large enough groupings. Or powerful enough. If you know where and how to place the lever of your will, in the world, you can move many, many things. It's not something that anyone does the same as anyone else. Clearing your mind, focusing, intently, learning everything, going in blind, it doesn't matter how you do it, or what you do. It matters that you engage the world, or don't, in the way that is as befitting your self, as possible. Or as ill-fitting... Integrity is all we have, when it comes down to it. We can only be as much of ourselves, and, carve, blast, burn out, and fill our space in the world, as appropriately as possible.

Ben Folds Five - [Steven's Last Night in Town]--- I'm rambling a bit, but it comes down to this: You put the pieces together, right? In whatever it is that you do, however you do it, you bring things together, take them apart, change them, and you either enact, or inhibit communication, of one sort, or another. You talk, work, chant, write, draw on tables in salt or graphite or paint or whatever. Everything you do relieves a pressure, somewhere; you have let something loose, turned a valve, and the build-up is let off. (RazorBladeKisses - [No Strings Attached]). Everything you do impacts the world, somewhere, somehow.

Entanglement, interconnection, gravitational force, ideas, intention, dark matter, quanta, perceptual states. Everything you do touches every thing else, every motion on the board defines another set of moves. You have the ability to accept, know, change, be yourself, fully, whatever those things mean for you. And they are not all connected, always, except in that way that they are. But you can do one, or some, without doing the others, on all levels, in ways that you mean.

Ben Folds Five - [Battle of Who Could Care Less]--- I believe that today's word was "Spelling."

You'll forgive me, if I repeat myself.
