Stuff.
My counselor is going on her maternity leave in two weeks. She'll be gone until September, and until then no counciling. I have the option of either returning when she does or just discontinuing my counciling. And this is a more difficult decision than I thought. I really enjoy going and talking to her, but I'm not 100% certain that I really NEED to keep going. I've been much happier, more confident with myself, it's helped me get over a lot of things I used to struggle with...So do I need to resume counciling in September?
I dunno. So much could change by then, for better or for worse. I guess it all depends on where I am months from now. Still, it's a tough call. There are people who need her help more than me, but...I don't know.
Oh, I ordered the Satanic Bible online and it came in the mail yesterday. So don't piss me off, or I might put a curse on your family. Kidding. I'm just reading it out of curiosity, not to convert to it and follow it. The kind of Satanism this author talks about is...different from witchcraft and voodoo. But I had to hide it from my mom, cuz she told me not to get it but I did anyway. If she finds out she might make me throw it away and give me a sermon or something. I seem to be hiding a lot from her lately...
I spent the past few days cleaning up branches that littered our yard from the massive storm. I just found out that the wind was reported to be at 70 MPH at the peak of the storm. Scary. I'm just happy everything's back to normal, even though there's still work to be done clearing the roads and yards and shit.
One of my poems is coming along quite nicely. I'm still trying to make the words flow from line to line nicely. That's always the hardest part for me. I write my poems in chunks, you see. If I think of a pretty little line or two I scribble it down. I do that until there's enough related lines to mush together into a poem. So I kinda have to fill in the gaps and make it all flow, which is a challenge. But I'll be done soon. And it will be a poem I can brag about. Maybe I'll share on here. Maybe.
Just gave my giant bear dog a bath. He smelled awful and he had dry skin all over him. But he's nice and clean now. And I can cuddle with him again!

This is why I don't really write "poems"... I just find words that are nice. I wish I could publish a sentence.
If you don't want to post it could you send it in PM to me once you're done?
I have an idea!
There's a guy named Jack Kerouac, who writes American Haikus. They're kinda like Japanese Haikus, except that Japanese Haikus are limited to 17 syllables, while American ones apparently don't worry about that. They're just three lines of words.
You should totally follow in this guy's footsteps and start writing "haikus" like these! (keep in mind he wrote a book of these and sold it for money):
Nightfall,
boy smashing dandelions
with a stick.
All day long
wearing a hat
that wasn't on my head.
How many cats they need
around here
For any orgy?
Those birds sitting
out there on the fence -
They're all going to die.
Fun right?

Hmmm...
Arguably,
God made mankind
to watch them fuck.
I'm fairly sure that
everyone on that train
are piglets.
Shooting stars
Fall into my lap
and burn my crotch.
Singularly,
my friend Bob Striker
just screwed a lamppost.
I have watched
thirty-three men
fit in a cabbage.

If there is a god, why couldn't he have given me wings?
I will definitely send it to
I will definitely send it to you when I'm done. I don't share my poems with very many people, but I need to start sharing, so I can have some criticism and feedback.
I CAN BE YOUR COUNSELOR, BABY~
:P

That's redick!
You would be a
You would be a very...interesting counselor. XD But I would love that! You can counsel me all you want ;D
You... a counselor?
Why do I imagine Hannibal Lecter...?

Well...
Because I'd eat my patients? Not in the same way, though... ;D

Aren't witchcraft and voodoo
Aren't witchcraft and voodoo different from satanism always?
Witchcraft usually refers to Wicca right? Which is peace loving and harmonious and very... Not satanic. I don't know much about Voodoo but it comes from some Caribbean culture that's been appropriated to death... Also not related to Satan.
I don't really know anything at all about satanic stuff though... Except that it comes from the same roots as Christianity while Witchcraft and Voodoo don't. I've heard a few horror stories about satanist people in Maine (of course Maine. Where do you think Stephen King gets his ideas from?) doing pretty awful things... But I also think that most satanists probably don't? And you're sensible enough not to hurt people anyway. :P I don't see any harm in reading about it. Plus, generally, it's not religions that hurt people but how people interpret them and use them to justify their wrongs.
Blahblahblah I could talk about religion for a while but I'll stop.
And I get the thing about poetry, I've been trying to write a song and it's like that. I'm a perfectionist so I want every single line and measure to be good, not just the hook or the "fun parts". All parts of a song should be good. (this is my problem with pop music, by the way.. People who write pop music don't seem to understand this). I've never written a song before so even "halfway decent" is pretty difficult for me... Haha. It's work but I don't think it's a bad thing, it takes longer but when you're done you have something complete. Not just a few nice things and lots of filler.
Also, less is more. Don't forget that.
People associate witchcraft
People associate witchcraft and voodoo with Satanism. Many people fear Satanism because some Satanists do practice black magic, have orgies and black masses, all that stuff. But yes, there are practical Satanists, such as Anton LaVey, who don't do that stuff, who are completely harmless. The more intelligent form of Satanism is basically the belief that you shape your own destiny, you are your own person, and no god can dictate the way you live. Satanism is basically the rebel of all religions.
My poems take AGES to write. But really, that's okay with me, because the more time I take the better it turns out. I used to be able to sit down and write a whole poem in one sitting, and I liked the way they turned out at the time, but not so much anymore. And yes, I strongly dislike most pop music. It's just talentless people singing about how fun it is to party and get drunk and be famous.
Less is more, hm? I'll definitely keep that in mind, thank you!
