This journal thing is so frustrating. Is everyone on here friends already? Is that how people get "friends" without ever adding people they don't know?

I keep getting told that it's rude or disturbing to add people you don't know, but I am not sure how I'm supposed to get to know someone without reading their journal.

So on this community for making fun of stupid people on the internet I found a post about someone making fun of people doing "nanowrimo", which is apparently writing a novel in a month.

And the comments there led me to matrixrefugee who led me to the Truth of the Spoon which led me back to LJ again.

Makes one think differently about otherkin being a social meme, anyway. These guys have some interesting ideas. Not too sure about the presentation yet, but the ideas are considerable.

Strange thought...

If you combine worries about gmail storing and never deleting your email, and allowing the government access to it with concerns about mandatory screening for mental illness. If the FBI could data mine for terrorists, or government subversives, couldn't they data mine for the "mentally ill" and "delusional"... i.e. us?

Not likely, sure, but it puts a new spin on the "otherkin concentration camps", doesn't it? Instead of being put away for being different, one is put away for supposedly being a danger to society... not unlike the reports of "disappeared" started to pop up.

Friend of.

Well, interesting. Someone threatened that they would complain to livejournal that I had them friended. I took her off my friends list anyway, but it's nice to know that even LJ Abuse wouldn't give a damn.

Hahaha

It's really amusing that the response to "Why does everyone think they're an Elf Princess?" is "I wasn't one!" "Me either!" "Not me!" "Nope!"

Seriously. I'm starting to wonder if these people actually exist. Hehe. Maybe they're all democratic elves and the royalty's a myth. Or something, I dunno.

Kind of makes me think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail for some reason.

Hrm.

For all this talk of Elven Princesses and whatever, I have yet to actually meet one.

Maybe I'm just not reading the right mailing lists.

I suppose I'll worry more about remembering and living well first, and see what strikes me as inspiring. It doesn't matter whether anyone else remembered my lives or not... if I'm not remembering this live for a reason, for something to learn or something to remember, then there's no point in the exercise. It's just metaphysical wanking.

So... why am I remembering this stuff? That's something to think about.

I know there was some way were were able to live in an otherwise freezing area... it should have been completely unlivable. Like having a colony on Greenland... so maybe not so bad. If humans can be that adaptable, so could another race, right?

But I definitely remember that there was an area that was livable... gardens, some fields, homes, etc. Basically a small town and its outlying area, and then a bit of wilds as it faded into the much colder outside environment. It was as if the earth there was warmer... snows could blow through, but they melted right away, and I think we used magic to protect the crops from surprise storms. For the most part, I think they were pretty hardy plants. There was a wet season and a dry season, and most of the growing was done during the dry season.

Which makes no sense. But all of the stuff about growing food there kind of makes no sense. It was like this big partnership with the earth (not this-planet earth, but the ground/spirit of the planet-type-earth) where she helped us live by giving our land the extra warmth and irrigation it needed, and honored her and helped her in return.

It's snowing outside.

I remember living in a land that was chill, but not harsh. In winter the air became crisp. It was a relief after the humid growing season, and winter was my favorite time of year. I loved sitting near a warm fire, wrapped in a nest of woven blankets.

Jung says that in ancient times, several souls in one body was de rigeur, and that being single is a learned/forced behaviour.
