So why are you here? This can be of no interest to anyone. Trying to find out what makes me tick? I don't even know what makes me tick. All I know is if I had one wish, it would be for omniscience, so I WOULD know what made me tick. And you're not going to find out in this post, so why are you still reading?
Well, whatever. So waste the next 2 or 3 minutes of your time. Not my problem.
This year has been so wonderful. One of the best of my life, if not absolutely the best of my life. I also have this feeling of optimism that is at a peak I can't define. I feel I'm on a mountain top, watching the most disgusting city that ever was, burn beneath me.
July 20, 2012. Locally, there's been 15 days over 80°F/26.6°C this year. Only one day over 90°F/32.2°C, and that was 91°. Coolest year in the history of my life, though they say the first week of August will be Hell. But the predicted heat wave gets postponed every day by one day. This is like a present to me.
If the Pagan calendar were a clock, it would be 2:00 post meridian, on this day. I go by the Pagan calendar. Imbolg, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh, Maybon, Samhain, and Yule, my favourite day. Yule would be midnight. I like long nights. I'm a night critter. I do my best on graveyard shift.
I really do expect this to be my last year. I see no point in it not being so. I expect WWIII will break out any week now, I expect the u.s. soil to be hit this time, and I am in a target area. I will not evacuate under order. I will fight to the death if anyone tries to take me.
I could make a phone call, and start a journey to the (rural) sanctuary I mentioned in previous posts, but it would take about 3 days and 5 tanks of gas to get there. Some people can do it in two, but I'm not one of them. I would also have to deal with munchkin people I find annoying to the hilt if I did go. I would have to treat them nice, and not threaten to cook them. No!
Here, I have everything I need, and access to everything I want. It can't be taken away from me, either. Why? Because it deals with KNOWLEDGE! And a promise, but I'm not going to get into that.
Now, all I have to do is wait. Wait for further instructions, and wait for that promise to be delivered; one way or another. Wait for an e-mail, a letter, a phone call, or a certain knock on the door.
If I don't get the Holy Hell nuked out of me first, that is.
;O)
