Halloween/Shaman

So I have been away for a while, life and school seemed to attack me all at once this last month! As Halloween is tomorrow I thought I should post, also after going to the party in the penthouse last night, and talk about my thoughts on Halloween maybe.  My family has always done Halloween, maybe not as much as I would like but we have.  This year especially I was all gun-ho for Halloween but had no ability to do, being in dorms and all.  The best I got was decorating my door.  I was going to decorate my house for my mom but then time ran out at my last visit and my moms hurt now so that also went out my window!  But as I mentioned last night was party in the penthouse which is and on campus event with a "haunted house", dance party and free food!  The haunted house fell flat this year with their "Apocalypse zone" theme and what could only be called minimal effort.  The dance party was loud and crazy as always and that was about it! But the costumes are always my favorite!  I got to see Arthur Dent, The Doctor, 4 jedi plus chewie, and endless slew of the Halloween fav's!
Well that's all I got, so be safe tomorrow and have fun!

Life

So I had shut down this blog and thought I would never blog EVER because nothing great happens in my life that is worth sharing. I have read many blogs and have friends that blog and can't figure out how they do it?! Well I have now decided looking at my life that I really can blog, I just need to do it! I will now recap recent days of fun and hell.

So Thursday was a REALLY crappy day that ended up great then back to crap.  It started out by being really rainy, cold and just plain ugly! A couple girls in my class though had decided that we needed to get ice cream at this AMAZING little dairy farm right across the border.  I agreed so we went even though it was anti-ice cream weather.  Nothing super eventful about that except the amazing ice cream and what my lovely friend said when coming back to our beloved Canada.  We were asked what we had done across the line, ice cream, duh! and then were asked if we were bringing anything else back? Well our driver answers "Yes, CLASS"!! The wonders of a tiered, sugared mind!! As we laugh our asses off for the entire 20 min drive back to school for class, we walk into the building and down the stairs to the door to the nursing when when our driver announces that someone will have to open the door because her hand had ice cream all over it, to promptly respond with "Hey! I have a second hand!" This of course prompted a second onslaught of laughter that continued for the rest of the day!!  The laughs caused us to re-think if were actually bringing class back to Canada or if we were importing said class!! Resulting in "We don't have class, we import it!!"

As the laughs continued on and we went to our separate classes I went out to the store, bad idea right there.  After I was done I went out to leave and my car wouldn't start, go figure!  So I call and text everyone I know to get a rid and possible help, well no!! I got laughed at by my ohh so loving cousin, and denied by almost everyone except my super amazing uncle P! Well lets just say much anger, a new relay and $80 later the beloved piece of crap caravan now works!  Praise be to the Goddess for that!

As for the rest of the week it as been pretty uneventful and crowded with classes and homework.  Plus a "fun" art project called 'blind contour drawings'.  If you have every heard this term, good for you, if not it is essentially that you look at an object and draw it without looking at your paper!! Yea, hard!  but fun none the less cuz it brings those art majors down to the same level as the rest of us!!

Well that is life for now! Wishing you all a blessed weekend!

Valentines

With valentines day tomorrow I find it interesting to think about what it means and how we celebrate it. I have heard countless arguments that it is only a consumers holiday, and a time to sell goods after Christmas! I find this such a sad view, no matter how true, and I believe that it should be thought of as a time just to say I love you without ridicule and a day to have fun with loved ones.  As I am in dorms at university I have a "secret sister", and as such have to get her a valentines gift! Having found many things I could have done I settled on making her some home made headbands and a card and getting her a little primrose plant.  Although this may not sound like a lot it doesn't have to be! It is the thought and love that goes into the gift that matters! <3 As for me on valentines? Well I am going out for a "singles party" with a bunch of friends including bowling and dinner!
This day though makes me want to spend time with those I'm closest to in nature.  I enjoy the acres of land we have back home and the time we spend together there.  It also reminds me of the goddess of love and beauty Branwen as I am getting to know and understand the deities I find a stronger pull to my path and the love and joy it brings me.  Blessed be and love on your valentines day.

Welcome

Merry meet and welcome to my blog!
I am a nursing student trying to find my place in a world consumed by so many fake items and beliefs that I cannot stand it.  I am currently trying to turn away from this way of life and find a more natural path in this extensive wasting society.  I am also trying to find and figure out my spiritual path in life; as of right now I am leaning towards a more traditionally path of Druidism.  As my back ground is half Irish/Druid I feel a great connection to this path and it also helps that my dad is trying to follow this path as well.  There are many other things that have influenced my decision and as of right now it is not set in stone.  There are many things that draw me to this path and I wish to share some of those reasons with all of you! Thank-you for coming by and blessed be to all who may cross my path.
