Chaos and Disorder.

[nyyki]

What is with everyone in the pagan community right now? It seems like it is coming apart at the seams.

I'm not going to get into the witch war B&B started in reaction to "the website" -- I've agreed to not discuss Club Maeven in my journal. (Besides, Lynxfeather's latest journal entry nails it on the head. http://www.lynxfeather.net/journal/2001/03-06-2001-2.html) Suffice to say that there are a lot of people out of sorts in general right now. And Mercury isn't even in retrograde.

I'm just glad my group is stable right now.

The technology markets are seriously whacked right now, so no one is hiring. The recruiters admit to me that they are in a major slump. There was less than one page of computer job classifieds in the Dallas Morning Right-Wing Totalitarian Pravda on Sunday.

Of course, this is totally foreign to the s/o -- I'm obviously lazy and making this up. The s/o wants me to start cold calling to technology companies. (Opinions?)

I'm to the point where I am going to take a waitstaff position to make ends meet. It sucks, but we need the money.

What is it going to take to get some balance in my life? What am I doing to create this stuff? And how can I stop doing or start doing what it takes?

I'm probably blowing this all out of proportion, due to my own battles on this front, but you said that "you've agreed" not to discuss Club Maeven here.

Just wanted to say that if that's the best thing for you [and yes, I do understand that wallowing in these things just prolongs them, but sometimes you've just gotta wallow, you know?] then great. Go for it. But if someone is emotionally blackmailing you into that decision, shame on them.

Anyway, I'm probably wrong, I just wanted to say that...

Well, I still have friends down there. (Although, with the current attrition rate lately.... Jeez) Also, They have exhibited an ability to concern themselves with *your* activities for a really long time after you severed ties with them. I don't want any more drama. I would prefer to be out of the entire thing. Off their map. Someone who is no longer even thought of.

My clan never went there, for the most part. A couple of them did once or twice, but for the most part, it was not a draw. And so the people closest to me are not there, and were never a part. This means I can step away and not lose everything. I know some others who do not have that type of situation.

Besides... Orville, himself, in twenty years couldn't make the amount of popcorn that should be pitched at those perfidious pagan puppets...
