HAPPY HALLOWEEN to all my friends!
If you're looking for some online resources to help "set the mood" for the holiday, I have compiled a list of favourite/useful links. This is not meant to be comprehensive, just a place (or places) to start. I began collecting these (mostly free) Halloween resources several years ago, but try to add & update a bit every year, so please check it out. ( Enjoy! )
current mood:  grateful

7:01 pm - Help?
|
There's someone on one of my LJ groups who's REALLY creeping me out. I posted on the group list today & I started getting responses from another group member. S/he went from being insulting to being downright scary. S/he went through my profile, my friends list, s/he knows where I live, says s/he knows people I know, is calling me weird names (what on earth is a fahnish? Is that some kind of slur?), & generally unpleasant. The person's icon is some kind of cartoon character holding a weapon, & I'm a little freaked. I've asked the group moderator to keep an eye on her/him, but what can _I_ do to protect my safety better? Sorry, just never had a problem like this on LJ before & it's really bothering me. Really hate conflict & don't want things to become unpleasant here. LJ has (almost) always been a happy place for me. Thanks in advance.

7:01 am - everybody wants to be a cat....
|
Sometimes I long for the freedom of a pet, to simply & sincerely go up to someone & say "I'm feeling lonely & insecure & need attention & reassurance from you." Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to express your needs so clearly & have the expectation of them being met, without worrying about how you will be perceived or what negative affect it might have? Maybe it's just pure selfishness, but sometimes I think the world would be a nicer place if we could all just simply ask for what we need & have some hope of getting it.

8:52 pm - Ring out those Solstice Bells....
|
If anyone would like to hear a radio programme about the winter solstice, I've written & will be performing (with assistance) an hour-long radio show tomorrow morning. It's got a little science, a little history, a little sociology, a little story-telling by my husband, & a nice eclectic mix of music, including a few live numbers from my best friend chirosinger.
If you're in the Twin Cities you can tune KFAI in on 90.3. If you're not in the area, you can listen online @ www.kfai.org. The show is the WAVE project and will air between 10- 11 am, Central Time. If that doesn't work for you, it will be archived on the site for two weeks after the broadcast if you'd like to listen later.
Hope you'll have a chance to listen. Thank you! -Karen

8:06 am - insensitive
|
Human beings are worthless,lazy, selfish sacks of shit. People are DYING from a basic, utter lack of compassion, & we are too indolent, too self-absorbed to do more than consider how it negatively affects US. "I don't have TIME for you. You're too demanding." Somebody wants to give us all the love in her/his heart & asks a little time, a little attention, a little FUCKING COMPASSION in return & we turn away. We laugh, or complain. We are incapable of seeing anything except through the lens of our own self-interest, & when something requires us to step beyond that safe, easy field, we balk. We excuse our behaviour to ourselves & the world & blame the one who DARED to ask a little more of us than we were willing to give. We have forgotten how to be friends; to be family. The REALLY sad part? That kind of selfishness is SUCCESSFUL! The human race is not doomed because of it. We THRIVE. The only animals who are capable of logically understanding compassion & selflessness & we CHOOSE to deny them. Gods we are CONTEMPTIBLE.
For the record, if any of you have enough sensitivity to wonder if this is directed at you, it probably isn't (nor am I angry on my own behalf). The selfish lowlifes, myself included, who most need this message have their minds closed too it, because nothing we do could EVER be worthy of such a rant. Just that crazy, emotional blonde spouting off again. Wish she'd go away.
But IF there is someone you have called friend, to whom you have not been as good a friend as you might, who maybe could use a bit of your time & who certainly deserves it, try looking beyond your own little needs for a few minutes, an hour, a day, & call. Send a card. Send a fucking email. Take TEN MINUTES from your oh-so-busy life & do something for somebody you once made a promise to, when you claimed to be a friend. 'Cause honey, your credentials are wearing thin.
