Moved this over to Dreamwidth, made a comment with it at LJ in the christianity community, and thought, aha, I'll move it over. I had been thinking of that, and had moved one other a couple months ago. So, thrills. It's my B-day too, come to think of it.

Making lots of icons. I feel very disorganized, though I do have ideas.

Making a post, sort of for fear that LJ deletes journals that haven't been posted in in a long time.
Be surprised if I get a hollaback, but if I do, howdy. :D

Making an entry so LJ doesn't delete this journal, though now I'm having a feeling that I have to wait till Jan. 1 to make it, once a year. But what the heck, maybe this will remind me to do it then.

08:21 pm - Old Year Passing
I am at Patty's housesitting & dogwatching. We did errands before noon. She's a manager at GoodWill, & we went to the location of it across the river, where she used to manage. I got a really nice denim bag, ostensibly for books, but I think it would be good for just being a handbag really. She thinks it would be a good summer bag, but for me, it's dark, it's winter.
I like bags.
Got a black chenille scarf, too, and a copy of the really old seventies Ralph Bakshi cartoon movie of The Hobbit. Silly, but it might be fun.
I renewed my 4 DVDs, got some interesting ones. LotR Return of the King, Hidalgo and a Nova episode about the history of the Hebrew Bible, and another PBS special about the first English versions of the Old & New Testaments. Apologies to anyone who regards the OT as the Only Testament.
The one about the Hebrew Bible talks about how the archaeological community is finding evidence outside the Bible of the existence of King David and Solomon, and the Jews in ancient times in general. There was a victory monument found in Thebes, an ancient Egyptian record of various lands conquered by [Mernotep? can't remember the name of the Pharoah]. Included is Israel, and the pharoah brags he has "shorn Israel, and it's seed is no more".
A bit mistaken as the narrator pointed out, about having wiped out the Jewish population.
There was a clay tablet found that also bragged the writer had conquered the King of the House of David. Meaning possibly David's grandson, Rehoboam. Shoot me for not remembering better. I guess I need to watch it again.
Happy New Year to everyone out there, if anyone's reading this anymore. I just have about slid off the face of the earth.

It's cold in the library! Other than that a beautiful day where I am. I went out and sat in a convenience store--cheap decent coffee with real cream, and this is actually kind of a nice place, has a nice landscaped yard and trees, there is a big wall of glass to look out on the yard and street. I journalled in my paper journal, which I am liking a lot. This is in my neighborhood, so I go there a lot.
I had a "coffee-chino" half coffee and half foamy cocoa or cappucino, I serve myself & don't quite know what the cappuccino is supposed to be. Well, it tastes good and chocolatey, and foamy.
I woke up early and was a bit freaked out--being in any time of my life when I was going to church always brought up some apocalyptically freaky and horrible feelings--that is why I didn't go to church for 25 years, and before that was kind of spotty. I was seriously going nuts. This time it's rather different, but...
I'm leaving this church on Nov. 22nd, which is my one year anniversary date there. I feel like I've made some friends and I do intend to keep in contact with them, I sure hope. And I am certainly going to keep with my counselors, they are my friends and we meet once or twice a week. Friday nights is a community night, more to do with worship and fellowship than therapy. Though what's better for you than hanging with good friends?
See y'all!

I wrote an entry and accidentally knocked the whole thing out. Darn.
Not even going to try to figure that out again. I used to spend a lot of happy hours drawing and painting, now that's all gone. Someone decided to throw it all out, not me.
I threw a bit of it out, thinking in each case that there was something harmful in it. I don't want to spread bad art or any bad attitudes through art. All gone now though, someone tossed 3/4 of my childhood out because she didn't get her way with my life, I didn't do what she wanted, didn't become a book illustrator.
OH well. The photos above are all really pleasant to look at. I love looking at smoke in real life, don't get that much chance to beause I don't smoke cigarettes or anything, just light incense occasionally.
The goofy wizardess with the oddly enchanted hat reminds me of some of the stuff I used to like to do, would design clothes (not that I could sew, I just liked thinking them up and drawing them). And drawing odd furnture and the occasional weapon (glass bladed dagger). I really liked color and people, liked to look at kids book illustrations.
Haha, I found an amusing little font at Dafont.com, and had the ability to download it for once. Alpahabots.

07:28 pm - Writer's Block: Do you check your stars?
Do you believe in astrology? If so, how often do you check your horoscope and how does it impact your life? If not, do you get annoyed when people make assumptions about you based on your sign?
Actually I wish I didn't. My sun sign doesn't describe me, I'm not motherly like Cancers, am not interested in the home, etc. But my birth chart explains why--I've got this blockage in my 12th house, the house of the spirit. Saturn in Capricorn makes me want all the things Cancers don't car that much about but Capricorns do. IT makes me say screw my life, I want what I want. And what I want's not good for me.
Yes, my natal chart tells me all my failures, which are all accurate, but it doesn't tell me my strengths or how to overcome my failures. And as far as I know, 12 house stuff doesn't clear out completely till you get to old age. There are some benefits, but I sure wish Saturn would have been in the 1st house, not the 12th.
I can't help believing in it for some reason--but why? What darned good does it do me?

Fancy darn journals
Peanut butter banana bread with pina colada and other variations
For future reference, I love banana bread & I love peanut butter (with no sugar or trans fat added!). And I love coconut-pinapple goodies.
