I am sleepy, but done. :-)

I am tired.
But.
I have finished my paper (on Ecology and Society's Valuing of Women).
It was a neat subject, and I'm told (by my friend Amanda, who edited it) that it's a good paper and that it was written well. :-)
Hopefully she is right. :-)

As it is, I am going to sleep so that tomorrow morning I can clean my room. :-)
I can't say I'm really looking forward to the tidying itself, but I am looking forward to the Tidy. :-)

Oo! Guess what! We did a ritual in class today. :-) My teacher is a Wiccan Priestess (trained in various traditions), and she did her Witchcraft lecture today. At the end, she showed us how an altar was set up, and one fellow asked if we could do a ritual, and she said that as long as no-one had any problems, that was just dandy. :-)
So we did one. :-)
Just casting the circle, quarter-calls, Deities, and then some explanations (and passing around the challace-as-cup-of-knowledge --> which helped when I was finishing my paper, ;-) and then she took down the circle, and that was that. :-)
It was neat, though. :-)
She also showed us how to ground and center, which I've never been too good at outside of a singing performance setting. :-)
So that was a good thing. :-)


Which, for some reason, reminds me: I'm collecting stuff for Monochrome Beast #5.

Any of you Dark Ottawa / Gothic/Industrial folks who want to send me poetry, cover art (cover art!!), Gothic "summer survival" ideas (cheesy, but occasionally useful) and/or summer fashion ideas, stuff on vampirism and/or vampirists, general art-work, short fiction, music and/or book reviews, or anything else creative that I can publish in 'zine form, please send 'em to me at:

Monochrome_Beast@yahoo.ca

I especially need the cover art, but anything else is fine, too. :-)
Thanks a bundle. :-)

Extra note:
Cliff: Send me stuff on ReJUVEnator. :-) Thanks. :-)
Josh: Just a reminder about Plundering the Vaults. Thanks. :-)

Thanks to everyone. :-)
