Well, I'm back, kind of. A couple days ago, I was playing on VR, checking a suspension. I went to the person's profile and was bringing up my Microsoft Frontpage, to help find out what the coding issue was with their profile. My puter froze. I was like ok......



I gave it a couple minutes...nothing. I hit Ctrl, Alt and Delete....nothing. So, I powered it down, waited a minute and powered it back up. It came up to the safe mode screen, but no matter if I chose safe mode, or normal mode, my Window's wouldn't engage.



Ok....so, I get out the Window's disk and put it, attempting to do a Recovery/Repair. Nada. After an hour, the screen didn't change. So, I put it to the side, waiting for LordV to take care of when he got home.



He went through all the steps I did above and then left the computer on, overnight, attempting to do a Recovery/Repair.



Next morning, again nothing. He pulled out my harddrive and decided that was the problem. He went online and found a replacement at the local computer place (www.frys.com). Later that day, LordV and I had a new harddrive. For about $70, I went from a 60GB harddrive to a 250GB harddrive. Man, what a difference!!!



I will tell you, Damn this is like a new puter. LOL.



And how many of you are saying, yeah but you lost everything on the previous harddrive. Nope, I didn't. LordV took out one of his handy-dandy gadgets, connected it to the old harddrive and connected the other end to my computer. He made a new folder and downloaded EVERYTHING on my old harddrive, into that little folder. I spent most of last night, copying all the folders (My documents, fonts, My pictures, My Stories, The books I'm writing and other things ) over to my new harddrive. So, I didn't loose ANYTHING!!



I realized that this is another perk, to being in love with LordV. I mean, I have a handsome, intelligent, funny man, who is responsible, caring and attentive. But he is a Computer genius to boot. LOL.



Definately a keeper. :P

This is a commentary regarding the movie “Twilight”, my own personal feelings, hopefully nobody will take offense.



When I was a little girl, my favorite movie was Cinderella. It was about a girl, living where she didn’t feel wanted and appreciated, no matter how much she did. I felt that way. At a young age, I took over a lot of the chores for my mother, as her Multiple Sclerosis debilitated her. I longed to have a Prince Charming, that would simply stop and listen to me, let alone take me away from it all.



I think that is how most girls look at movies and books, growing up. They find themselves identifying with a character. As a pre-teen, the movie “The Outsiders” came out. It starred the young hunks of the day, which are still mentioned in headlines even now. Starring Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon and Ralph Macchio. The girls in my class all had their favorite men, as each person, represented what they wanted out of a man. Mine was Rob Lowe. His character played a happy go lucky person, nothing weighed on him, nothing brought him down. As I was a teen dealing with a father with undiagnosed ADHD and a mother with a debilitating illness, I longed to be happy go lucky and not think about the problems of my family. To not feel older than my peers, because I knew that life was fragile and that in a moments notice, your life could change forever.



I see the same thing happening with Harry Potter and Twilight books and movies. Think about it. Harry Potter is about a teen, with no parents, feeling alone and awkward. Its about his problems as a teen. Dealing with right and wrong. Dealing with a school bully. Dealing with who he is and what he will do with what he knows.



Twilight, is about an awkward clumsy teen, that finds herself in a new town, new school and the one person that listens to her, that is interested in her, is a vampire. To most girls, it doesn’t matter that he is a vampire, as most of the images in the movies, are about these two characters, simply sitting next to one another. Looking into each other’s eyes, or just talking. To pre-teens, this is the ultimate romance, someone that listens and cares.



What teen can’t relate to these two characters? What teen doesn’t strive to do the right thing, even when its not the popular thing to do? What teen doesn’t feel like they aren’t listened to, that they are awkward, that they are clumsy, or invisible?



There is a discussion, I have seen in the forums and journals, regarding teenyboopers, calling themselves by Cullen, the family name of the Vampires in Twilight. Think about it. Could it be, they are associating themselves with a family that protects their own, because they want to feel protected? Could it be, they are associating themselves with a group of people, that are outsiders, because they feel like an outsider?



Those that name themselves after characters in the movie, probably feel, as I did about Rob Lowe’s character, when I was a teen. There is an aspect of that character, they either identify with, or wish they could be.



All I can say, is give the teens a break. They are searching for who they want to be, part of that searching is trying on new skin. Trying to be something they aren’t, to be sure, what they truly are, is acceptable. It takes years to learn about yourself. To learn and be comfortable with who and what you are. Don’t put these kids down, that are searching. They are simply being kids…..like you were once.

Someone is mad at me. I have been spring cleaning around the house and I decided it was time for Maddie to have a bath. I was nice. I put a towel down in the tub, so she wouldn't slip. I made sure the water was warm and I gave her a massage, as I rubbed the shampoo in. She refused to look at me in the tub, would move away when I tried to pet her and turned her head away, snubbing me.



So, I rinsed her off and she immediately jumped out of the tub and goes to the door of the bathroom. I rub her down with a towel and open the door. She is off like a shot.



This is where I found her. She was so mad that she wouldn't even look at me when I called her name. Not sure how far I'm going to get, trying to brush her, but oh well. She smells better and maybe I can bribe her to forgive me with a bone. I swear, the bath was needed.

Today is the 2 year anniversary, of LordV's and my first meeting. I lived in New York, he was in Washington state. We had known each other, online for years. Became best friends and helped each other through trials and tribulations of life, including divorce and loss of jobs.



LordV decided he was going to fly to NY, because in his words, "I want a real hug."



That was the beginning.



I Love You. This is my dedication to you.

Dedication to Khornesone and other Dark Network members on deployment.



In the Guardians of Darkness, we house Khornesone. He was recently deployed and will be gone for the next year or so. I wanted the teens of my coven, to understand and help Wolfbite, KO's daughter, through this tough time in her life. This is a thread that I have posted, named "Our Guardian Soldier," and some of the responses from my members.

Please watch this video and know that this almost perfectly depicts what KO does and how it effected his family, including his wife Silverbow and his daughter wolfbite. The last time Wolfbite saw her father, was him walking away, to get on a bus, to take him to the plane.



KO has sent me a note with a email address that he can received emails in. Please feel free to send him a note, a e-card, or to ask him questions about where he is.



Please keep him and all other American Solider's in your thoughts.



I am dedicating these to all American Soliders, especially our own Guardian Solider.

So, lets leave this thread open and occasionally post messages to KO, or so KO can post messages when he gets on, or thru his daughter, Wolfbite. Lets make him know, that he is appreciated for what he is doing and that we support him, until he comes home in a year.

---

Contessa: I sit here crying and cannot truly express how much I thank and appeciate you and all the others who give so much and take such chances. I pray you are safe and for your family to be strong until you come back home to them. God/Goddess bless you and yours.

---

Kitsuna: I am so indebted to you KO, and all of your brothers and sisters in the military. I can't really put my emotions into words telling you how grateful I am. With what you are doing you are nothing short of a hero in my eyes.

My thoughts are with you, Silverbow, Wolfbite and her brother.

LordV:

---

ShadowofMystry: I may not know KO very well but I will try to write him. I appreciate all he does for us in battle and coven wise.

---

LadyChordewa: I spoke to Silverbow yesterday and she was telling me how KO was doing.



Apparently, he had a 12 pack of Mountain Dew, sent to himself. (Mountain Dew is going to be few and far between, until he gets home.) When he got it, he wrote his name on every single bottle. Well, one came up missing.



I am told that KO, interrogated every single person in his plattoon, to find out where his Mountain Dew went. lol.

---

LordV: In homage to our dedicated soldier ... and his precious Mt. Dew!







... wonders if this is how things work at the KO home - lol

---

ShadowofMystry: thats is sad taking a mountain dew...come on now people thats childish

---

MBK is visiting the Guardians of Darkness, under his other Sire account.



Originis: My little message...



KO, we may have never talked before and I will more than likely not be here when you're able to check in when you can, but I'd like to say that I know we are all proud of what you and the rest of the troops are doing for this country, and we all know how brave you are. It's a great thing to have people as good as you as a part of this country.



Additionally, if you find out who took the Mt Dew, you should totally make him get ya' some more.

---

I can't help but take pride in my coven members for their support of our military forces. I just had to share it with you.
