Writer's Block: Spirits
Yes I believe. I have never seen an apparition. But I have heard many things. The first thing happened years ago in San Antonio Texas. I was like 8. It was during the summer. We were visiting my grandmothers' house. My sister and I were sleeping on a pull out couch. The couch was by a window. All of a sudden we heard knocking on the window. We both woke up and were afraid to look. Well to sum up a long story it happened 3 times, in 3 different windows. Now it could've been one of our relatives playing a prank. But I don't think so. Before the knocking started we went to visit my uncle Roberts grave. So I'd like to think it was him just saying hello. Next happened in my house where I'm living now. I was 12 and watching tv. The only ones that were home were my mom and I. My sister was still at work. My dad was in El Paso visiting his sister. Anyways, I was watching tv and I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Now the stairs are right there by the living room. The hallway light was on. So when someone is coming down you can see their shadow. Well when this happened, I looked and no shadow. But the footsteps kept coming. I got so scared I ran to my parents room which is located in the dining room. I woke up my mom and told her someone is upstairs. She got up and took out then dog Critter and checked it out. She checked all the rooms and closets and the bathroom. Nothing. The dog didn't freak out either. So I guess it was nothing bad. But I know what I heard. Now something also happened maybe 2 years ago. When Lobo was still here. I was in my room and my door was closed. I was wacthing tv and I heard the dog sniffing at my door. If you have a dog you'll know what I'm talking about. Just sniffing at the bottom of the door. I said,"Lobo, you better go downstairs." Now as I said that I got up and opened the door and nothing. I thought that was quite odd. I would have heard him going down the stairs. His nails against the wooden stairs. I heard nothing. But I heard sniffing. So I told my mom it had to be Critter. I believe he's still around sometimes. He passed away over 13 years ago. Now the next thing that happened to me was at my sisters house. It was about 5 years ago. But I will never forget what happened. I was spending the night. I always make sure the doors and screen doors are locked. So that's what I did. She went to bed and so did the kids. I stood up and watched, It's a Wonderful Life. I love that movie. Anyways, her house is a flat. No basement and no upstairs. So I'm sitting in the living room and I'm by myself. I shut the lights out cause my sister hates the light on. She needs darkness when she sleeps. So I'm watching the movie and I heard a voice from the kitchen. It was very clear. A loud whisper. It said my name. But what was really strange is that it didn't say Viviana. It called me Bibi. This is what my sister and her kids call me. No one else. So I was freaked. But I couldn't get up. I was too scared. lol I don't even remember how I went to sleep. I sleep on the couch which is right by the kitchen. I think I left the tv on and put the timer. So by the time it shut off I was asleep. I told my sister what happened. I think I scared her. Then she told her husband what happened. They had the house blessed again. I spent the night again later. She asked me if I heard anything. Nope. I haven't heard anything since. But still I don't like to spend the night by her house. I don't want to take a chance. When I told my mom what happened, she asked me,"Did you go look?" I told her I know it wasn't a person. It was just me, Isabel and the kids. But something else was there. I really don't think I would've liked to see what it was. Now this next thing didn't happen to me. It happened to my dad. Now this was years after what happened in Texas. My grandmother passed on and it was after the burial. My father was the only one up and he was watching tv. He said that he heard knocking by the window next to the door. He shut the tv off and the lights and went to bed. That made me laugh. Cause my dad is not the kind of man that gets scared very easily. So I'm sure that freaked him out. Well that's it. If you had any experiences please comment here or post in your journal. I would love to read them. Current Mood:  nostalgic |

The Music Industry Is Such a Hard Nut Isnt it...? All so catty....and all the more so when the rumors are true ,and when someone deserves it. oh MYYY~ As a bunch of us had a chat ,and a few of my friends in the music industry are VERY amused with the latest Dir en grey developments. These peeps work with bands ,or are in bands ,and have known me for years,and they watcched all of this shit over the last decade. They know the entire story . So i was telling them who Dir is now managed by,and how they have no label here. So they said ,"so basically everything you said to them that would happen ,barely in the space of 2 years ...,did happen ? And now they are reduced to an indies teeny bopper band in the USA ,when they should have been as big as KORN or NIN ? Sort of like what would have happend to them if they had listened to you in 2003 ? With no label no less " And I said ,yeh .. And then they said ,"and the going with the little known label with no P/R push ,and not pimping them to the radio stations first ,and getting a big deal,like you wanted to do for them in 2003 , didnt work ? And i said ,yeh ... And then they said,"and forming that other management company with a bunch of complete amatures ,who had a lot of nerve fucking with you ,,you of all people, didnt help them along to becoming HUGE here,with these oh so credible people with such complete UNprofessional attitudes,and next to NO know how about the industry here ,didnt work ??!?!!? " And i said, yeh..... And then they said ,"and they still havent apologised to you ,after all of that ? and how badly their people have treated you .And the shit you took for them all those years ,but then they turn around and use a NYC company where you might even have people connected to them ,when you said to go that way in the first place..except it was almost 6 YEARS ago you offered this to them ?" And i said ,yeh . So they said ,"couldnt have happened to a nicer bunch of people .Enjoy your last laugh .They never deserved you ." ~shrugs~ What can i say .I warned them,and i know that DTs reputation preceeds him here now. None of my friends thought they were cool given how they treated me all these years. So people KNOW. People KNOW . And its why not even bands they are friends with ,do not seem to be offering up their record labels. Am i wrong ? I told them you cannot work like that here, and be regarded as trustworthy or credible. You just cannot . No one trusts DT,and people KNOW the truth now !! So ... I told you so ,and now my friends IN the industry ,some of whom are huge, are saying it to you too . And none of them think very much of how Dirs people work,but we knew that . But reflects back on all of the band now too .... oh wweelll~~~ ~shrugs again~ Current Mood:  apathetic |

*Also, I shouldn't have said "hypocrisy on rollerskates." That was honestly kind of mean. It wasn't that bad.

My vow to spend less time on the computer has flown out the window this week. Tony's out of town and I'm just counting moments until he's back. So I guess I'm lonely and turning to my other love, LJ!
The boys so love talking to Tony on Skype and seeing him. Or maybe it's seeing themselves that they love. I think I should switch the windows so the one showing the boys is big and the one with Tony is small. ;-)
It is a little frustrating that he's so busy. These conferences -- he has breakfast meetings, working lunches, and then schmoozing dinners in between the sessions. He hardly has time to talk to us. :-( But he did say that his boss mentioned how much she appreciates the sacrifice of the whole family in "letting" him go. She's a real nice boss. Gosh he's worked with her for like a decade. She feels sorta like an aunt or something.
After posting my complete menu plan this week I've totally gone astray. Roasting a turkey in the summer is just...what was I thinking? It's so freaking hot. So I'm just gonna leave it in the freezer for now. I did manage to bake biscuits though (the oven on for 15 minutes is totally different than several hours!). Yum. William really loves my home made biscuits. So much. It's nice when he actually likes something. |

SSSR---YES! I'll be headed to Louisville, Kentucky in October, to attend the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion's annual meeting. Woo! What DragonCon is to many of my friends, the SSSR annual meeting is to me. The program looks incredible this year, and I'm going to have some real decisions to make as far as panels and presentations go. Everything from dominion theology to atheism to comparative international studies on young Catholics. A whole crew is coming over from Australia, and discussing the shifting sands of religion on that continent, and there are at least two sessions on the huge changes that are happening among Latin American religious populations. Goody goody gumdrops! Current Mood:  giddy as a schoolgirl |

heh heh heh Last fortune cookie received: "Your mind is creative, original, and alert." Well. ::preens:: Glamour on a $27 Givenchy mascara: "The round, spiky brush looks medieval but grabs every little lash." Since when is "medieval" a pejorative?! Too funny. ( live version of what I'm listening to ) I don't know when Allison Moorer married Steve Earle, but she's pretty good, with or without him. Leaving for work in 15 minutes or so, and trying to be stricter about my no-LJ-at-work policy. mmm, yeah--we'll see how that goes ;) Current Music: Allison Moorer--Dancing Barefoot |

So lately things are kinda blah. We found out that James will NOT be able to go to the same school as William. We're not sure what we're going to do. James in our local school means dismissal times are oddly out of sync in a way that makes things difficult. We're not sure what we're going to do. There's the possibility that once they complete the IEP that he'd be assigned to W's school and then everything would be peachy but we won't know that for a while. Blah whatever. I've been trying to be frugal lately. We've got new expenses for people working with James. We could probably greatly reduce the cost by going through insurance to a much lower quality program but at the moment we're not wanting to do that so we're paying $135/wk just for the one program. It means we have to be more serious about money. So I've been menu planning rather carefully. ( This week's menu plan )As the menu plan mentions Tony's out of town this week. We set up Skype on both our computers so we can talk and see each other. The boys love being able to see him (and themselves!) on the computer. It's really cute. Ok, gotta get with it. I've promised a meal out today. William is "dying" for Panda Express. We haven't been there in a while. He feels like he's having withdrawal symptoms. We are also gonna stop by Best Buy (same shopping center) for rechargeable Wii batteries and then the grocery store for a couple things. |

I shall no longer be gluten-ous! So... it appears that I am gluten intolerant! While it's nice to finally maybe not be constantly sick (and, given the long-term effects, be able to sleep), I'm already craving bread and ramen. I love ramen, we have boxes of it! Maybe I'll just limit it. Like, have ramen once a week only. Yeah, that could work. As for bread, there is such a thing as gluten-free bread, we just have to hit Whole Foods or something to get it. In other news! I have completed three chapters of my smart(ass)!Harry fic. And I'm wondering how to get him actively involved in something when it's mostly against his character to do more than sit back and watch things. I mean, I've got him at all the crucial shit from the book, but he doesn't actually care or initiate any of it (even less than he did in the real book), and I'm worried readers might not like such a passive MC. Hm... Current Mood:  thoughtful |

Wha...? I do not consider this to be an improvement for humankind, no matter how loathesome scooping/changing cat litter might be. EDIT: Then again, as y'all have reminded me, if one has a physical limitation (pregnancy, carpal tunnel problems, etc.) it might be quite the life improvement. My bad. :-) |

current Bible studies
me: reading the Bible all the way through from Luke-Mark, just as a book, then stopping to read all the 'core' Apocrypha, and then again from Genesis to Revelations. and then after that i'll go for other apocrypha and gnostic books.
it is very interesting and difficult reading through the Old Testament. there's a lot to process because, well, the Old Testament echoes much of the transformed covenant of the New Testament, but it's still the same God, and so...it's difficult reading. Not to mention that 'knowing your Bible' gains resonance when you find out just how much is left out of the more familiar Old Testament stories I knew of growing up.
husband: transcribing the cross references and prayers in his edition of the 1599 Geneva. interestingly, those cross-references include the Apocrypha. apparently the prayers are slightly rare to editions of the Geneva, and not transcribed in modern English anywhere online or off. also, the NSRV which contains all the 'core' Apocrypha of Catholic and Orthodox traditions, along with the Catholic Study Bible (which has just the Catholic Deuterocanonical books) has different verse numbering and structure and theological differences to the 1599 Geneva. so that looks to be an interesting exploration already. |

The Return of the Glowing Feline So, my adorable, exasperating Nick is back home, and is now terrorizing the other two cats to make up for his absence. Since he is presently radioactive from the iodine treatment, we have a list of protocols to follow for handling both him and his bodily wastes. We can't be within a foot of him for more than an hour each day, and we can't allow the kids to pet him at all. This is going to drive him INSANE, because he is extremely attached to the sprogs, to the point where they find him a complete nuisance at times. Oh well, we will persevere. I'll feed him some extra catnip and his favorite wet food to compensate for the lack of cuddles and smooshy kid kisses. Since we don't have toilets that will handle flushing clumping cat litter, we have to store the clumps in a tightly-closed container for eighty days ( EDIT: Cloud chamber! Yes!), then dispose of them. Failure to wait the eighty days will earn us a fine for dumping radioactive material, and possibly a visit from Irritated Suited Professionals. That's a no-brainer! I'm glad to have my fur-butt back again. |

Migraine today, blahblahblah. Had to take two Imitrex injections to kick it. I'm finding the scent of my sample of Note Vanillée very soothing right now. I laugh at the fact that even though I've never been a smoker, four of my favorite perfumes have a distinct tobacco note: "Fifi" by Fifi Chachnil, "Ambre Narguilé" (Hermèssence), "Note Vanillée" (Martine Micallef), and Ava Luxe's "Kretek." |
