Hey hey kids!
well, on Friday I had an interview with this (somewhat odd) company...nothing like random interview number one was (those who know will know and those who wonder can ask)...
I had an observation day today: *sigh* cold call sales is unlikely to suit me...but the money is not bad...guess it'll get me to TO and will allow me to pay rent for September as well.
Unsurprisingly my cool and sophisticated (not!) wit won them over...:)
They want me back tomorow morning, this time I have to be there at 7:45 am (ouch)...we shall see what we shall see.
anywho,
I'm actually mildly captivated by a James Bond movie on tv...time to bounce!
Got my hair cut at Funky Toque today...expensive but they were very nice and I really like the results.
The man has been back from Africa since Monday. Yay! Unfortunately he is sick. Boo!
I have been reading much and thinking about my own path...wondering about whether I have the discipline to be a professional writer; not sure I do...
I took Terabyte to the veterinary today. They were very nice and she behaved herself like a real lady. She got her first checkup and her first vaccines...the vet also confirmed that she indeed has mites in her ears and needs to be treated for them. sigh.
It was awesome bringing her outside and having so many people especially since they all ooh-ed and aah-ed when they saw her. (I'm such a proud mommy :) )
Eh...I just noticed that I did not mention what the Specchia stuff is for...
She is my goddess concept for the new campaign in which I will be playing. All of the players are expected to come up with a god or goddess that they would like to play :)
We get to build them from the ground up, literaly since they will be fallen gods whose goals will include rebuilding a base of worshippers.
The campaign is pseudo real world...where d&d magic exists but is feared on top of being rare. The gods will be the Atlantean pantheon, right after Atlantis has sunk.
I can't wait to play!
I anybody still out there or am I alone in cyberspace?
(feeling kinda lonely today...*sigh*)
I need some feedback:
Specchia The Veiled One—goddess of secrets, mysteries and hidden knowledge.
Great rulers and fishermen alike give their respect to Specchia. It is said that no one is able to look upon her true face without loosing being irrevocably changed. None know what she can and cannot do, as such; she is feared among both gods and mortals.
Specchia has three main avatars.
A 10 year old child with wild shoulder length black hair, she looks very androgynous in this aspect. She wears a grey tunic and is always barefoot. This is how she appears to most mortals who seek her favor. Her eyes are mirrors that reflect within them the beholder’s true essence. (Hidden knowledge)
A tall and slender 30 years old woman, her lower abdomen is slightly distended making her appear pregnant. Her dark hair extends down to the middle of her back and sometimes cascades in front of Specchia’s face. A fine silver mesh covers the many layers of grey diaphanous cloth that veils her body. In this aspect she is masked. Her mask is a mirror that distorts all that it reflects. There is only one angle from which her facial features can be seen. It is said that whoever is able to see through Specchia’s mask holds the balance of the multiverse within his/her grasp, if they are able to keep their mind in one piece.
(Mysteries)
A gnarled old woman, bent over her walking staff. Her face can only be guessed at through the veil that she wears and her body is hidden by a large grey cloak. In this aspect, Specchia speaks rarely and only in whispers. Those that wish to ensure that secrets will be kept as well as those that wish to unveil secrets pray to her. (Secrets)
Alignment: True Neutral or Chaotic Neutral
Worshippers’ alignment: any
Priest’s alignment: any neutral
Symbol: A small silver mask polished to a mirror finish with either an eye, a key, or a veiled doorway engraved on the inside to indicate the mystery level to which the wearer has been initiated.
Holy days: Both the summer and the winter Solstices are regarded as special days for the cult of Specchia since they represent the worldly changes in illumination. Monthly gatherings are not the same for all cult members but closely follow moon-cycles; The New moon (first crescent) is for the lowest levels of the priesthood, the last crescent is for the middle echelons of the priesthood, and the Dark moon is for the higher levels. During eclipses only the most influential clerics of Specchia meet.
The cult of Specchia is a Mystery Cult, most of its members hover in the outer circles and only the most devoted clerics are introduced to the inner circles.
It is believed by some that Specchia was once mortal and that she was a priestess who supplanted her own deity in power, therefore taking over the role of god-head. Some initiates are also led to believe that Specchia herself appears to her priests when they gather during her sacred meetings. These rumors have never been confirmed, but they have never been denied either.
Yes yes...I know that I haven't posted anything here in entirely too long.
But when I stopped working last week on Monday, I just suddenly felt thoroughly lazy. No desire to take action, none whatsoever.
Oy.
So I did nothing mostly. I read, played with kitten (who is not really kitten sized anymore), did laundry, wrote a little bit (for a game...something I've been meaning to do since I kinda have to)...
Then this week-end was Domaine again, I had fun.
Monday was sleepy day.
Today I did laundry again and read (again).
I need to get out of this rut.
I have stuff that begs to be written, I wake up with story ideas filling my head...
Maybe I'll have to chain myself to a chair, forcibly remove the books from my sight,...
Bad me. I am not impressed with myself.
Maybe I should get a haircut, then a "real" job would surely follow. ;)
