    @Pet "I could have done with talking to someone, but everyone seemed to need to rush off."

    You aren't abandoned Pet, just the wheel of modern life spinning. Exasperating if you ask me.

    I'm feeling a bit old this evening- I sat with the older folks at a work party tonight. I just didn't feel like doing shots of Patron and joking around. I'm feeling pensive and reflective. Prob that time of the month coming.

    Maybe it's the weather, dudes, or the phase of the moon. I've felt choked up all evening. I even got teary eyed during America's Greatest Talent when I noticed how professional and compassionate America's most famous shock jock has become. I've also been doing a routine parasite cleanse this weekend. In that case, it might be an emotional release paralleling the physical release. Anyhow, sniff. *joins others in the melancholy corner*

    In the mythology of my novels, that would place you in Phoebe's domain.  There are four quarterly goddesses:

    Bella's country is the morning, spring and the period between bleeding and ovulation.
    Mata's realm is the afternoon, summer and a woman's fertile period.
    Phoebe's domain is evening, autumn and the premenstrual period.
    Slia's queendom is night (Slia's black queendom), winter (Slia's white queendom) and the period of bleeding (Slia's red queendom).

    I think it's at least a potentially useful conceptual framework.

    @Pet I have entered Slia's red queendom..does she have an assistant that delivers tampons perchance? Seriously, I really think that's a cool Goddess interpretation Pet.

    Right now I'm watching "Portlandia" ...Hilarious!

    @Ponygurl.  If goddesses have assistants who deliver tampons, I suspect that they're to be found in the guise of shop assistants.  I don't know how close it is to where you live, but Tampa sound as though it should be the best place in Florida for that.

    I should be feeling top of the World today with the Greenwich shindig later but really struggling with my depression this week. Feel tired and listless all the time and not very enthusiastic.
    I'm sure a drop of alcohol will do me fine later :|

    For the first time in a while I'm feeling content in my own skin. I've semi-purposefully been taking a back seat and letting life flew over me for a bit. I love the busy and the effort but I'm finding that if I don't pace myself I burn out.

    Knowing Elliot does such a cracking job here (and he does!) means I could be a little selfish for once. Getting older means you realise that isn't always a bad thing if done for the right reason.

    So, yeah. Feeling refreshed and a lot more like myself and you know what? Maybe that's a good place to be. It's nice to just be who I am.

    I have a heap of friends, here and there, and I have as much faith in human nature as ever.

    Sorry for the ramble but a couple of you lovely, lovely people have been asking about me being absent from these walls for a while. I'm fine, I'm happy and I see Frappers every single day in a million other places too.

    Hope the world finds you all in an equally good place :-)

    Glad you're feeling chipper, good sir! :-)

    Forumers have been mostly well-behaved lately, and not too many site-based queries, so all pretty much OK.

    The start of a new Dr Who era must have helped that mood no doubt Carpy.

    Godesses for women's ovulation cycle? Well thought Peter! That could make me pray (or sometimes curse) in the name of one of them. Very useful, as you said.

     



    I feel very happy today. Besides Goldfrapp wonderful news (because I'll probably be able to go!), I've been in my practicum for a week and everything's going fine, my boss is nice and he loves and knows what he does. Also, he gave me today a box of tomatoes and peppers he cultivated. They're very good! I'm making sauce today.
