Ne, decided to make my own personal blog finally, I guess its because the difficulty of my life is escalating. Seriously, I have some major bad karmaq from lying to my "boyfriend" about random shit (I put it in quotes cause he lives in Washington, where I used to...) and deceiving my family regarding his status in my mind (he's older than I am...)

It has been affecting my ability for Tarot readings...I dont know how to dig myself out of it. Any suggestions?

Things are a little better. I admitted my lie to the loved one and things sort of fell into place. I think losing my house-key was symbolic of losing my way, as after I decided to confess I had the sudden realization that it wasnt in my room, but probably fell out of my pocket when I was climbing trees...

Call me an omen-seeker, but I think the gods are telling me I need to spend more time in nature, and more time helping rather than harming. Though I am a loner-type, I think I can benefit others through myl ove of the earth and my work with the spirits...I hope that all becomes well.

Thank you for your good thoughts, I appreciate it. Things are getting better right now and I hopefully will be recovered soon....until then Im resting and recouping (and obsessively studying magick)...

Most people would be surprised to know that despite my Tarot reading ability I am only sixteen. That said...most people think I am waaaay older because of my music taste and Craft knowledge...I think I may have been a priestess in my past life.

As for music taste, over half my cd's are older than I am, and I love it when my mom whips out the record player (I WILL inherit that...my sis can have her jewelry, gimme the music XD) because of the excellant selection. I recently got a Queen cd and Drivin N Cryin (yay Fly Me Courageous!) and they havent been turned off yet...I love my older music. 70's, 80's, and 90's, theres very little "modern music" I am fond of...excluding maroon 5 and Finger 11 (mmmm...pretty men, hard rock). I got my sig from Def Leppard's Rock of Ages...and that particular line has been my motto ever since I first heard the song. <3

*sigh* Been a while since I updated...so freaking busy. I think I might need to take a break for a while...

I am surprised at the feedback I got for my last post...*laughs* Everyone I meet, even in real life, thinks Im older than I am. Guess Im an Old Soul ne? *Listening to Home By The Sea by Genesis* I dont think I can ever get addicted to drugs/alcahol/etc cause Im so in love with music...anything that impedes that I cant stand. I hate that stuff anyhow. Blessed be and thanks for tuning in!

I have returned, as many of you waiting for readings may have noticed...finals and AP Exams rule my life =@.@=

I finally got a few older readings up and finalized what I wanted to do with supplementary...Ill offer them as counting as a second question ^^

As for life right now, hectic, my parents are on the "Lets get divorced, lets not" track that is really starting to piss me off...

Oh! And I made National Merit...cant wait to get my final decision back, I hope I scored high enough to qualify ^^

Anyhow, thats the update for now...love much and blessed be!

No matter how many times I play Beatmania, I am always reminded how horridly I FAIL at it...hardest music game EVER created. Bastards...course I find that the version of Virtual Insanity on the english version of 2DX is more awesome than the original...even though it is totally opposite to what I normally listen to and I usually hate covers besides. - -;; Another random contradiction to plague the living contradiction...aka me.

Anyhow, last week of school but I dont have to go Monday...YAY PARENT SANCTIONED SKIPPING! I get to spend the day with my grandma who is the most awesome old person whoever graced the earth with her presence...I love grandma Shirley. So much fun, even if she isnt TECHNICALLY related to me, she doesnt care and neither do I, unlike my stepdad who makes it quite clear he does.

Tomorrow we get to go to the zoo to see the new butterfly house and big cats exhibits...I do love my kitties (wolves are okay, but I am a proud PANTHER at heart ^^). Anyhow, blessed be to the few of you that read my ramblings. Ciao! ^^

IM SO f*cking SICK OF IT! My stupid parents are at it again, and have made it quite clear they dont give a damn about me...because apparently, Im not "worth spending money on for college" because I got a few B's...and theyre getting a divorce! And now my stepdad says that all he cares about when they divorce is getting to see my sister once a week, as if I havent been in his life for 17 YEARS, 6 years LONGER than my little sis, regardless of not being his. I hate them both, and I know they dont care about me...and Im sick of it. Its getting harder and harder to feel anything at all towards them, when I go to bed crying every f*cking night from how mean they are to me...its so bad that I gave myself the schedule from hell for an excuse to stay in my room and work on homework rather than deal with them. I HATE THEM! And I dont want to hate them...because that emotion kills me from the inside slowly and makes me want to die...but what choice do I have, when thats whayt they seem to want, and have made it very clear to me. I might be leaving here soon, because getting on is such a hassle for me now...Ill just leave everywhere, and not come back...Im so tired and frustrated.

My dog is FINALLY having her puppies (the day before my birthday no less...I feel special.) We have 6 so far with 3-5 more on the way...and my dog is a TARD! She keeps stepping on them and moving and stuff...but she's very dedicated and loving towards them like a mom should be. A joyous day at the Fox/Hartwell household!

Panther, I wrote you a nice reply, but it's hard to post here. You're parents fighting isn't about you. It's about them, who can cut the other the deepest. Glad you've got a bunch of pups to keep you busy. Have a peaceful weekend, enjoy your music.

I have returned! Though not always for the better. We've had a string of rotten luck, well...thats my life anyways. I have purchased some new Witchy books and have decided that (eventually) all these reviews I keep writing will go on the board somewhere....if I can find a place that is. ^^;;

Anyhows, I decided to go onto a learning path once more, a spiritual journey I guess, and I have decided also that my official year and a day is long overdue. So, one June 26th, I decided to dedicate myself to a year and a day, and self-dedicate on June 27th, 2009. It is quite important to me, also quite near my 18th birthday...so it will have very special meaning. I also have been doing daily devotions, memorized prayers, and am working on creating a rosary-type necklace with affirmations on it (will post the spell soon, found it in a book), chosen a secret Pagan name (one that came quite strongly to me at a strange moment), and so have decided for the better that I need to live my life as a Wiccan, not merely study and dream. Its a strong decision, and I hope all at the forum will help me to learn and grow within my chosen path. =^.^=
