    Stealing memes...
    Okay, I almost never do this, but it's not a bad one. I took this one from [info]starborn_scribe.
    Take 5 quotes that really resonate with you from here.

    Here are my 5. :)

    Language most shews a man: Speak, that I may see thee.
    Ben Jonson (1572 - 1637)

    It is wonderful how quickly you get used to things, even the most astonishing.
    Edith Nesbitt

    There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.
    Josh Billings (1818 - 1885)

    A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits.
    Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Time Enough for Love, 1978

    I might repeat to myself slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound - if I can remember any of the damn things.
    Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967)

    Friendship message
    What a gypp!

    You never really know someone until you have been their friend.
    -Walker Best-

    Who is this 'Walker Best'?
    He literally stole one of the best lines from 'Le petit Prince' by
    Saint Exupery.

    On ne connait que les choses que l'on apprivoisent.

    One only knows those who one tames.

    A fox is begging the Little Prince to 'tame him' when the Prince tells the fox of his wariness. The fox wants a friend, and the Little Prince obliges. Now that the fox is 'tamed', the animal begins to explain to the Prince that he will wait for his return, etc., now that they are friends.

    *cue 'Love story' music*
    The friendship thought for yesterday was:

    Real love stories never have endings.
    -Richard Bach-

    Now, I might be a complete sap, but I actually liked his books. :)
    When I was young, my parents kept fish. I got myself a Danio (things are fast!), and
    named it 'Jonathan Livingston Fish'. When I got a second one, it was, yes (for those who know the book), 'Fletcher Fish'. Even as a kid, I was a dork, yes.

    Today's (and I just checked) got a chuckle out of me.

    "It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality."
    -Arnold Bennett (1867-1931)-

    Huh. While I did get a small laugh at it, I don't necessarily agree. I really, really try not to judge my friends because, well... they're my friends. Probably why I don't have many that I do call my friends, because I don't really suffer fools gladly.

    Well..

    Busy day today.
    Got the lamb out to defrost. Eggs are boiled, but now need colouring. Mary and Helen still need their Easter posh frocks for tomorrow morning, and my van is still DOA.
    Getting breakfast ready as soon as the post is done. :)

    Friendship
    Well, I would have posted yesterday's, but 1. I didn't agree with it, and 2. it was by Yasir Arafat. Notice the order in which I placed it.

    Sorry.. not a huge PLO fan... and when I read it, then who it was by.. well.. yes.
    Became obvious.

    So--

    Today's.

    Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.
    -Aristotle-

    Note: This one is easy to misconstrue. There is no comma in the first phrase, deliberately. I take that to mean, no one would -choose- to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.

    And as a nod to the upcoming holiday...

    Haven't used this in awhile. Wonder if it works.
    *tap*tap*
    Is this thing on?

    Got a really nice calendar for Christmas this past year... and honestly, the only -real- reason I'm posting is because, well... I have few friends attached to this. And the calendar, given to me by [info]damara, is one of friendship.

    So, I figure that I'll share a few of them, of my choosing, of course. :)

    13 Mar.
    Few men have the natural strength to honour a friend's success without envy.
    -Aeschylus

    And, today's, just to try to keep current...

    One who's our friend is fond of us; one who's fond of us isn't necessarily our friend.
    -Geoffrey T. Albert-

    ...IT IS DOWNRIGHT COLD...DRESS ACCORDINGLY...

    Yes! DOWNRIGHT!

    THOSE DAYS OF GOING OUTSIDE WITHOUT A WINTER JACKET ARE OVER,
    ESPECIALLY FOR ANYONE WAITING FOR A BUS THIS MORNING. AIR
    TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO PLUNGE. AROUND AND SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK,
    MANY LOCATIONS WILL BE BETWEEN 15 AND 20 DEGREES. ACROSS NORTHWEST
    NEW JERSEY AND THE SOUTHERN POCONOS, EXPECT TO START THE DAY WITH
    TEMPERATURES AROUND 10 DEGREES. EVEN WITHOUT ANY WIND, THESE
    TEMPERATURES ARE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FROM WHAT WE HAVE BEEN USED
    TO. BUT WHEN FACTORING IN THE WIND, WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES OVER A
    WIDE AREA WILL PLUMMET DOWN INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS. YES, THE
    SINGLE DIGITS.

    Not the single digits!!!

    THE WIND CHILL HAS NO BEARING ON YOUR AUTOMOBILE, BUT IT IS WISE TO
    LET IT WARM UP A COUPLE OF MINUTES BEFORE GETTING UNDERWAY THIS
    MORNING.

    So says AAA.

    THERE WON'T BE MUCH OF A RECOVERY EVEN AFTER THE SUN COMES UP, SO
    HEAVY COATS, HATS AND GLOVES ARE RECOMMENDED TODAY, ESPECIALLY FOR
    THE YOUNGER SCHOOL KIDS.

    Yes, mom.

    WE ARE FORTUNATE TO ONLY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE COLD, UNLIKE OUR
    NEIGHBORS IN THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY. BUT, THERE IS A CHANCE OF
    SOME WINTER-LIKE WEATHER SPREADING INTO THE REGION MAINLY NORTHWEST
    OF PHILADELPHIA SOMETIME THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
    THERE WILL BE MORE ON THIS UPCOMING EVENT ISSUED IN LATER STATEMENTS
    AND FORECASTS.

    And they're starving in China, so don't forget to clean your plate!!

    ALSO, DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR PETS DURING THE COLD WEATHER.

    Your dog thanks you.

    Ugh..
    Stuff happened last night..
    Went to sign the contract for my new TV room carpet last night. Good thing. On the drive home, I hit a little grey kitten.. killed it. :( Bad thing. It was dark, someone was riding my bumper. I tried to swerve, but hit it anyway. I got home and was consoled by my purring Bailey.

    On the bright side, just wrote the check to payoff my CC that bought the TV. Just sent out money for the landscapers to come and do our front yard.

    Yesterday was amusing and just typifies my town. In the morning, the weather report was gloom/doom. Severe thunderstorms, lightning, high winds were predicted. As the morning wore on, it went to 'potential' of damaging t-storms. By the time afternoon came, it was 'clouds'. We got dog nuttin'. The only water we've gotten was a five (5) minute downpour last week.. or was that 2 weeks ago now? Oh.. and the dew in the morning. Reminds me of a Sting song where part of the chorus is:
    'Heavy cloud but no rain.'

    In RP news..
    *chuckles*
    I don't know what it is, but there are just some times when the character I'm playing just gets pulled in. When it happens, it's really amusing. Sometimes I can see it happening, and other times, it's 'Hey! How'd that happen?!'.

    RIP: Carl Erik Finne.
    Cause of death: Heart attack.
    Aged: 49

    Knew him for 15 years, now just getting all the information in. Died a block away from home in his car. He pulled over so he wouldn't cause a car accident.. No known heart disease. Ken and I are in Florida, so we're going to miss the viewing and Mass.. and that bothers us. A lot. Our hearts are with Joanne, his wife, and his parents.. and our friends up North. The world is minus one bright light, and heaven gains one.

    Merry Christmas.. early
    Heading to Florida bright and early tomorrow morning. Got everything sorta mostly packed, and I can see myself running around all night getting the van juuuuuust right. I won't be home until the 29th, and then I start really getting spastic with the move. We're out of attourney review for both houses, so we're under contract, officially. Inspectors are due to show at the house we're buying on the 30th. Who knows if the buyers of my house are hiring an inspector or not. No idea.. but I'm not going to be home for it.. so they'll have to deal. :)

    Good news. Friend got a job. I'm happy for her. Been a long time coming.. So maybe this'll give her a shot in the arm. Maybe make her realize that she can 'make it'. Now to find a job for a friend. Tossed it around, and I'm actually really going to look and pass things along.. maybe get a copy of his resume so I can submit it up here. :)

    Listening to the radio.. okay.. I was web streaming Jerry D.. so shoot me. Fan guuuuurl.. and he referenced something pretty damn funny.. so.. I share: (Even funnier to hear his voice.. and know that he is an admitted OCD personality. When he read for the OCD, I near fell off the chair laughing..)

    I can't wait until Bush and his cronies nuke Nevada! Gotta call my cousin Johnnie to get him out in time.. We're all in the conspiracy to take over the country and eventually the world! *insert evil laugh*

    *packpackpackpacks*
    Got everything, or mostly everything, ready for the trip to Florida for CHRISTMAS. Got the girls' dresses packed so we can go celebrate MASS.

    Still packing for the move in February. Not much happening there as things are pretty much on hold due to the vacation. Just packing still. Amazing what stuff is collected over the years.. and what stuff we just put aside, thinking that we'll get back to it and use it eventually. Well, years later, that eventuality never happened.. and so.. CATHOLIC CHARITIES it goes. Wow.. I can see how FAITH BASED organizations work first hand in my community.

    Am I a Jerk (with a capital J)? You bet. I'm sick of the whining.

    More later. :)

    Petty, yes, I know..
    But what's the point of being grown up if you can't be childish?

    During that evil parent teacher conference, the teachers almost seemed to take pleasure to tell me and the hub about how my now 8 yr old son 'invited' everyone to his birthday party on the day of his birthday. They questionned him as to how they'd know, where the invitations were, etc.

    Whalp.. I asked my son last Friday if he was going to have a Halloween party in his class. He shrugged and said that nothing was said about it. Now, Mary had brought something home the week before announcing theirs and requesting 'supplies'. Yesterday, he tells us at the dinner table that they're going to have a party, but the teachers didn't have 'time' to write anything up on it.. and that he's supposed to bring in his costume, etc. on Friday.

    What is this about planning for an event they /knew/ was going to happen all month?? And to take an 8 yr old to task because he did, essentially, in the cosmic scheme of things, the -same- thing?? He has an excuse. He's 8 and has never been party to the creation of gatherings, parties, BBQs, etc.

    The hub and I snickered and considered different styles of notes to write and have him bring to school...

    **

    And on a different note. The discussions have opened in regards to moving and getting a bigger house. (Imagine that. In this horrible economy, we can actually afford a bigger house. On -one- income, yet! And.. sorry, we're not rich. The hub works for the Federal Govt.) He has a realtor friend at work, and he was pointed to a house 10 minutes from the base for $410k. 4 bed/2 bath. 1 acre. Going onto the internet, I found places (McMansions, yes, I know) with 5-6 bedrooms for 360k, 2.5 bath. One for $380k, 6 bed/3 bath, with 3+ FIREPLACES! *drool*

    Side note: Better schools there, too..

    As far as the numbers go.. my house is now worth almost 3 times what I paid for it back in '96. So.. a nice downpayment, and we'd be putting out less money than carrying our mortgage and sending the 2 kids to private school. TEMPTING. Sooo.. we go from 'remodel for ourselves' to 'remodel for perspective buyers. Goodbye green walls with accented trim, hello eggshell semi-gloss!!

    Oh.. and for a little addiction..

    EDWARDS WIFE: NO RIOTS IF WE WIN

    The wife of Dem vice presidential hopeful John Edwards said on Sunday there will be no riots around the election -- if Kerry/Edwards wins!

    C-SPAN cameras captured spouse Elizabeth Edwards making the startling comments to a supporter during a Kerry Campaign Town Hall Meeting in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

    Supporter: Kerry's going to take PA.
    Liz Edwards: I know that.
    Supporter: I'm just worried there's going to be riots afterwards.
    Liz Edwards: Uh.....well...not if we win.

    Okay. The supporter suggested that the Republicans would riot.. I'm assuming. And.. the wannabe First Lady says that their supporters will be the ones doing it??? That sorta corresponds with the shots fired into Rep HQ, vandalism, out and out terroristic threats.. The Democrats have to out and out tell their base not to be violent??? That's just.. scary.

    No computer. Well, not mine, anyway. Darn stupid thunderstorm. I actually decided last night to log out when I saw lightning in the distance, and well, I was tired as well. I not only logged out, but also turned off the machine, thinking it wouldn't be a draw. Well. I should have also unplugged it. Now, it is a pretty paperweight. It turns on, yes, but that's IT. It doesn't consider going through boot up. It wouldn't be a big deal, but the hub won't be around to fix it. He's gone for the next couple of days. I know.. bitch, bitch, moan, moan. I'll try to be happier.

    Ok. Envy abounds. Darn single friends doing whatever the hell they want, when I want to do what they are! Darn! Darn! Darn! Cons, new pets, partying and gaming until all hours of the night and morning. Time to try to content myself in the knowledge that atleast I've got it better than some others I know. But jeez, I haven't been to a con in.. ack! Ten years? And certainly longer since I went out of state for one. I'd even settle for an ALA conference (American Library Association). I got a David Brin autograph from when a co-worker went. Woo!

    Trying to figure out how to get to DC with the least amount of fuss. I thought it would be tomorrow, but that didn't work. Somehow, I thought the kids' godfather was going to take one in the morning and return them either late evening, or keep them overnight and return in the morning, taking the next. Nope. Early afternoon to early afternoon. Means I can't go when I want to. Looks like perhaps Friday, and I take all three. I know. I sound ungrateful, and I know that they're my responsibility, which brings me back to paragraph one. I'll deal. :)

    Now to look again at SugarGliders. Why do I torture myself? Because a friend tortured me last night! And again this morning. THANKS A LOT! You know who you are. :) I'll just continue to try to look at it as a present for another friend. Yeah. That's the ticket.

    I don't want to go to the park! Kids are being jerks, all three of them. I suppose they're just acting their age, though. 'Wah! He hit me!' followed by 'Wah! She hit me first!' followed by 'He hurt me!'. So, Solomon that I am, I stuck both in their rooms. My little guy is definately a little man. He was contrite enough to apologize to his sister about hitting her, but I made it a prerequisite that she had to do the same. And tell him what she was sorry about. How horrible. I make my children apologize. To take responsibility for their actions. Maybe I'll send them to the Middle East and have them take over the peace process. I'm sure they can teach those idiots a thing or two.

    Ken mentionned that he may take a 'cruise' on the Washington in August. I think he's completely grown into the 'family man' thing because he was.. hesitant. Normally, he'd be wagging his tail so hard his body would be moving with the force of it. I'm envious. Blah.

    Here come more envy! I think I'm getting SugarGlider envy. Hearing about the preparations, the food, the 'oh, that's a good mauling of my finger' stories, I want one. No way would I get one, though. Not with a cat and a dog. Perhaps I'll convince a local friend to get one. He had a ferret once, so he has a predisposition to little animals like that...

    Taking pen in hand...
    Ok, so it's not pen to hand, but it's close enough for government work. And I should know, I used to work for the government. Well, county government, but it apparently turned out to be a microcosm of federal government. And once again, I should know. Ken works for the federal government. But anyone other than myself that would read the musings definately already knows that.

    Busy, busy week. Car's check engine light came on, the Saturn's, which means I have to call the shop and get an appointment to bring it in and get it repaired. Just wish we had the money. Ah well. Just means Ken takes the new van to work. I think he discovered my van is a great deal more pleasant to drive than his. I could have told him that at the get go. Haven't done that as of yet.

    Wednesday, /if/ I have my van back, I may drag the kids out to a Folk Music thing at the park. Why the heck not? It's free. At noon, which means a slow, leisurely morning. I can pretty much, hopefully, guarantee that they'll play 'Puff', which is a favorite of theirs. Wednesday night means Ken gets to go to the range and try out my new Walther P22. *sighs*

    Thursday brings us back to the park, only at an earlier 10 am. It's a Funtasia Festival! Wheee! *sighs* Luckily, Thursday night brings me an evening on my own. Well, as on my own as I'll get. Hitting the city! Woo! And, it's not to do /anything/, really, other than just.. go up! How's that for a treat? Besides, if Ken can go out shooting, then I can go to the City. So there. Nyah.

    Friday night brings a party with my 'household'. If anyone is interested, our household webpage is : www.bheithir.org. Fun group. We used to be known for our excessive partying and drinking. Now, I understand we are gaining fame for reproducing. This past year has been a banner year for us in .. 4 babies born. That doesn't include the 5 now older kids. And each and every member of the house loves each kid as their own. Kinda neat. None of use would ever assume babysitting services, but it is fun to watch the interactions.

    As far as online, I'm being abandoned this week. One goes to a con, another to a conference, and yet another heading out on vacation. Looks like I spend even more time in idle than usual. Or, hey.. here's a thought.. actually get some clean-up work done like I've been threatening to do.

    Ew. work.

    10 November 04

    The suites are clean. I want to move into Gabriel's, as his altar room can be redone. I want to make him proud of me, and I want to be everything he thought I could be. I hope Rolf gives me the chance.

    I have asked Rolf to keep me on here. He has given me a period of 60 days in which he will decide whether to keep me or let me go. If he has me leave, I am afraid that I won't be the same person I am now. Though it's hard to be here, it will be harder to leave. This is my home now, and for 6 years, it has been. All I have is Rolf, I think. Sam had been my best friend, after Gabriel, of course, and she is avoiding me, and I'm not pressing. I know she knows what happened, but it's still too painful for me to ask.

    I wrote a letter to M. Philippe in France in regards to my studies, and guidance on how to begin to put a library together for myself. I await his answer. I also told him I would like to give what I have left of Gabriel to Hekate, to be sure he is with her, and I hope he comes in time to help with the ritual. That's on the 16th of this month. I think it will be perfect timing, since the waning moon will be right.

    I haven't seen Harrison for too long. Not a word, not a note. I dare not go next door to visit for fear of what Rolf would do if he found out. Especially now.

    He's gone. Gabriel is dead. I don't know how, I don't know why. His room is a mess... charred to cinders and I don't know why.

    My world is gone. He has been my light, my teacher, my life. He told me he'd never die, not while Rolf lived. And he's dead.
