Thought this fit my entry on family pretty darn well....what do you think?
I had some family time over the weekend. Family time....a time when the voices are loud in chatter that is both serious and nonsensical. When children are hugged and held; where adults are laughing and trading gentle insults filled with love. Food abounds and the noise is horrendous. And in all that, I take a few moments and soak it all in. I watch and listen and feel the love surrounding me, filling me.
I know that no matter how much time passes, how grumpy I am, or what happens in my life, my family is there waiting to surround me with all that love. And I realize how very blessed I truly am.
Quizzes are great fun most of the time. I have chosen to put my results here. Why? Because I think that when there are more than 3-4 on a profile then that is all it becomes and the WHO the person is becomes lost in the quiz results. I am so much more than my quiz results...aren't you?
Frustration comes in many forms, especially here lately----
***when I look in the mirror and I am not the way I want to look.
***when I go to the computer and I can't do the things that are in my head beacuse I do not know the language of the computer.
***when I am trying to learn something new and I keep messing it up.
***when I know I should be doing one thing but I do something more fun instead and then am pushed to do the thing I should have done in the FIRST place.
***when I am tired or vunerable and someone moves in for the kill.
***when I want to be seen as a whole person instead of just a "pretty face".
***when I work so hard to do the "right" thing and it still ends up wrong.
*** when I hurt inside and can't seem to say the words and no one bothers to ask.
When are YOU frustrated?
Isn't it interesting how when we are walking around as humans we are often blind to anything we do not believe in....such as vampires, werewolves, demons, fairies, and elves. Then suddenly something happens and our entire belief system is shaken or destroyed completely and BOOM we KNOW there are OTHERS in the world. Perhaps we have even become one of the Others. But regardless, we are left muttering..........I do believe in ______, I DO Believe in _______, I DO BELIEVE!!!!!!!
I do RPG's and have ALWAYS played the Malkavian...Kookie ..to be exact. I loved the role...she was me, I was her and for a few hours I could be as CRAZY as I wanted to be. But then, I , I....oh it was horrible......(shudder)..
I took the quiz of "What Vampire Clan do You Belong to?" And it said VENTRUE..I can't imagine. Not after all those.....Kookies.....
Business minded and a natural leader, you are a canidate to be embraced by the Ventrue clan. You can be rather dominant with a high stamina however, you tend to have obsessive compulsive tendencies...especially when it comes to your food. You are the clan the others look to organize groups and factions. Generally princes are among this clan.
What Vampire Clan Do You Belong To?
The Ventrue
Elegant, aristocratic and regal, the Ventrue are the lords of the Camarilla. It was Clan Ventrue that provided the cornerstone of the Camarilla, and it is Clan Ventrue that directs and coaxes the Camarilla in its darkest hours. Even in the modern age, the majority of princes descend from Clan Ventrue. The Ventrue would, of course, have things no other way. In the tradition of noblesse oblige, the Ventrue must lead the other clans for their own good. In ancient nights, Ventrue were chosen from nobles, merchant princes or other wielders of power. In modern times the clan recruits from wealthy "old-money" families, ruthless corporate climbers, and politicians. Although Ventrue move in the same social circles as the Toreador, they do not fritter away their existences in frivolity and idle chatter. The Ventrue proudly wear the privileges of leadership, and stoically bear its burdens. Thus has it always been; thus shall it always be.
OH the IRONY.......(sniffling into the darkness!)
I wonder what it would be like to be a dragonfly?
To be always near my beloved water
Able to fly through the hidden currents of air
Brilliant colors of me showing the world I am full of passion and fire
Taking sustenance from the fruits and flowers of the earth
I think perhaps a dragonfly is what I will be in my next life
I wonder......what will you be???
I hear the call.....it comes softly on the wind.
At the sound my blood begins to warm and my heart to pound. I want to answer ....to let the wind call me to be free ....and yet when I try to answer ....I feel the bands around my limbs, holding me in place, holding me, holding me with love.
