Ok, I have come to the conclusion my life is weird.

I joined e-harmony and as of the past year have only communicated/met with one person. Mind you that person has turned into one of the best friends you could name. I think one of the reasons that the whole relationship thing failed is that when I brought him as a date to a wedding, I recived a thank you for bringing my dad. OK I know I look young, and actually he doesn't look old, but come on!!!

I find myself wondering how I have found myself at almost 40 years old, being extremely comfortable alone. I often think do I want to have to fight the covers on my bed, do I want to get up in the middle of the night only to fall into the toilet bowl because the seat was up. (and fyi, I have a male roomate who always leaves the seat up and I don't say a word...just listen to David Boreanz on the Bones DVD set. I happen too totally agree with him) So why in the hell am I still on e-harmony I ask myself. Occasionaly I do still find myself wanting the company of the male of the species. For just the smell of them you know, sometimes my apartment just smells to female, Yeah I know I said I have a male roomie, but I swear he has more facial, hair and body creams than my mom!

I read a totally rocking article in O magazine written by a single woman who lives with 3 dogs. I can completly see her point, a relationship is total work, and is it worth it?

Frankly I have no clue, I actually love my life the way it is now. I really am a homebody, but do make time for my friends, in fact I am actually meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow.

I am wavering if I should do a spell to bring my soulmate into my life. I crave the things a relationship will bring you, but I am not sure if I want the hassles. Reading that sentence I think I just answered my own question.

As the Goddess wills,

Be Well, Blessed Be

You're the University of Paris!

With an acute memory and many things to remember, you are
seen as one who has seen it all. At the same time, there are blacked out
periods of time in your recollection, some of the not even that long ago,
that you could swear never even existed. While this makes you somewhat
unreliable, you certainly must still be regarded as smart. You're a bit

08:09 pm - LIFE SUCK

OK, all my friends have been following along with how I have been doing up here with the new job and all. I was doing so great for the past six months, only to be felled low by an ear virus.

I can no longer drive the haul trucks out at the mine so now I am bagging groceries for a hell of a lot less an hour than I was making driving trucks. Life could be worse, I could have an incurable disease or have lost family/friends to accident. So I am trying to look on the bright side of things, other than my ear, I do have my health. I have some funds in the savings account so living will not be desparate for another few months.

I have landed a part time job with a local grocery store, the wages are less than half of what I was making before, but on the bright side I am once again feeling creative.

I have designed a wedding gown, based on an Edwardian style I like, and since I haven't been creative since sometime in August this does give me hope. I have also decided to write a SPN fic and have found a Beta reader for it. Keep an eye out for it, hopefully it will be up soon

11:33 am - MY B-Day

OK I thought I would have loads of messages on my puter or the phone would have a high number on the answering machine. No such luck, at least my folks remembered my 38th!

So I am going to plan a very exciting day for myself, though I haven't figured out exactly what that will entail, most assuredly a trip to our local bookstores most definately

06:00 pm - The Night Before christmas

T'was the night before Christmas

He live all alone,
In a one bedroom house
made of plaster and stone.

I had come down the chimney with presents to give,
and to see just who,
in this home did live.

I looked all about,
a strange sight did I see,
no tinsel, no presents,
not even a tree.

No stocking by the mantle,
just boots filled with sand.

On the wall hung pictures,
of far distant lands.

With medals and badges,
awards of all kinds.

A sober thought
came through my mind.

For this house was different.
So dark and dreary,
I had found the home of a soldier,
once I could see clearly.

The soldier lay sleeping,
silent, alone.
Curled up on the floor,
in this one bedroom home.

The face was so gentle,
the room in such disorder.
Not how I had pictured,
a Canadian Soldier.

Was this the hero

Was this the hero,
Of whom I'd just read?

Curled up on a poncho,
the floor for a bed?

I realized the families,
That I saw this night,
Owed their lives to these soldiers,
Who were willing to fight.

Soon round the world,
The children would play,
And grownups would celebrate,
A bright Christmas day.

They all enjoyed freedom,
Each month of the year,
Because of the soldiers,
Like the one lying here.

I couldn't help wonder,
How many lay alone,
On a cold Christmas eve,
In a land far from home.

The very thought brought,
a tear to my eye,

I dropped to my knees,
And started to cry.

The soldier awakened,
And I heard a rough voice,

"Santa, don't cry,
This life is my choice.
I fight for freedom,
I don't ask for more,
My life is my god,
My country, my corps."

The soldier rolled over,
And drifted to sleep,

I couldn't control it,
I continued to weep.

I kept watch for hours,
So silent and still,
And we both shivered,
From the cold night's chill.

I didn't want to leave,
On that cold, dark night,

This guardian of honour,
so willing to fight.

Then the soldier rolled over,
With a voice, soft and pure,
Whispered, "carry on Santa,
It's Christmas day, all is secure."

One look at my watch,
And I knew he was right,

"Merry Christmas my friend,and to all a good night."

This poem was written by a Canadian peace keeping soldier stationed overseas.
The following is his request. I think it is reasonable.

PLEASE
Could you do me the kind favour of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.
Please, do your small part to plant this small seed

01:18 pm - Criminal Minds Fanfic

Garcia waited in shocked silence as the paramedics, carefully transferred the young man into the ambulance.

Reaching out she clasped Spencer's hand in hers, "Spencer...", for once Penelope Garcia did not know what to say, deciding that speech was not necessary she wrapped her arms around her young friend in a hug, giving and gaining strength.

"He came to say good bye," Spence whispered, "I thought he was just going to the hospital," gripping onto Garcia as if she was a lifeline. "I should have known, I should HAVE KNOWN!"

"Shh, it's okay, we got here in time. He's going to get the help he needs." Garcia shoved her shock and fear to the farthest parts of her soul, trying to do what she did best, comforting her friend.

Suddenly she felt the tense muscles in her neck relax, help was here. Gideons soothing voice rolled over the pair. Releasing Spencer, Garcia found herself wrapped in a pair of strong arms, as a warm soothing voice told her that the boy would be fine.

Turning her head she could see Gideon speaking ernestly to Spencer, Garcia knew that it was time too allow herself to feel the fear and anguish she had stuffed down inside; stuffed so far down inside she knew that it would be hours before the situation actually hit her.

Gideon took a quick glance over where Garcia was wrapped tightly in Morgans arms, when the call came he hadn't hesitated to call the only other person he knew would be able to make Garcia comfortable. He saw much more than his team gave him credit for, he had seen the growing closeness between Morgan and Garcia.

Gideon did not know where the closeness would lead, whether it would turn out to be a lasting deep friendship or evolve into something more. He was just glad that the two young people had each other to lean on. Quietly he started to lead Spencer off towards, his car, listening to what Spencer had to say, allowing him to work his way through his grief, interjecting a word or two when appropriate.

He waited for Morgan to seat Garcia into her classic convertible, watched as Garcia twisted around in her seat so that she could keep in her eyesight the whole time he walked around to the drivers side. Gideon smiled softly as Morgan reached over and lifted Garcia's hand to give it a quick kiss before starting the car.

As the pair drove past, Gideon caught Garcia admonishing Morgan, not to damage her girl. Gideon knew that whatever Morgan did to help Garcia get past this eventful night, he would never hear about it. Morgan and Garcia would be back at work as if they had not spent the time together. Just as they had done so many times before after Morgan worked a difficult case.

Getting into the drivers seat of the SUV, Gideon eyed Spencer Reid, who sat dispondent in the passenger seat. Nodding to himself, he turned the key to the ignition and headed out to the hospital. It was going to be a long night, but worth it to know that his team would be wounded but healing.
