Garb give-away
I just got finished writing an overly self-indulgent post, but that wasn’t the reason I visited LiveJournal today. My original intent was to write about giving away garb.
25 Things About Me
I got tagged by someone on Facebook to write one of these posts. As is my usual practice, I'll respond to the meme, but I won't tag anyone else to respond.
Favorite poem meme
From lovediamond :When you see this, post your favorite poem in your journal.Unfortunately, my favorite poem is too long to post here. Here's how it begins:Midway this life we're bound upon,I woke to find myself in a dark wood,Where the right road was wholly lost and gone.Ay me!

Memories… like the corners of my mind…
Leave one memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you know/knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Don't send a message, leave a comment on here.

Kal-El and me
… or "The rise and fall of comic books in my life."

Peking Duck
My 30th birthday took place at one of the threshold times in my life. I had recently read The Spiral Dance, and was in the process of looking for a Wiccan group. Six weeks later I would attend my first Wicca class/ritual, and my life would be forever changed.That change hadn't happened yet, but I was aware…
