Well, i was on top of my form for my phone interview today. I was prepared, composed and ready for anything the interiewer could throw at me.

Unfortunately, he didn't call. At about 4, by which point he was an hour late, i sent e-mail off to him asking if he wanted to reschedule- from the quick initial response, i'm guessing he just got caught up in something and totally spaced on what time it was.

We'll see, although this doesn't bode particularly well for the company. Don't they know how to set reminders in Outlook or any other scheduling software?

4:13: E-mail from embarassed interviewer. Rescheduled for 10 am tomorrow.

Sorry. Insufficiently caffeinated to think clearly, obviously.

And can you please tell me what the FUCK the Wings are thinking tonight? I bit my lip so hard I drew blood watching Cujo the first period. Gah!

That's ok, you'll just be all that much more prepared, composed and ready for anything tomorrow :D I'm sure you'll do just fine.

Good Luck!

*hugs*

I stumbled upon your page and read your stories in your webpage. I have to say I was quite intrigued by them. They were absolutely wonderful :) :)

Since you are a pagan, does this mean you just believe in elves or something a little more? Or just a RPG?

Within the body of Celtic lore, folktales, legends and the like, there are all sorts of mythic beings- faerie, spirits of woods and bodies of water, even some that have remained 'in circulation' in modern times, like the Irish leprechaun, the banshee, brownies, and mermaids.

Simply because these entities were the product of a less technologically advanced culture isn't reason to discount them out of hand. From a sociologic standpoint, there is a tendancy to develop methods for explaining that which a society doesn't understand. It can be argued that this is the origin of the concept of the Divine- a god-being or beings which exist to control that which people can't grasp.

My view of the nature of the Divine is that i can't clearly disprove the existance of such a being or set of beings, and, through research into different cultures, the Divine Ones of the pre-Christian Celts fit well into my understanding of the role of how i think such creatures would interact both with each other and the world around them. In particular, i associate strongly with the goddesses Brighid and the Morrigan, the gods Manannan and Lugh.

I believe that there are some sorts of entities which are not conventionally tangible to people- or perhaps it's that we're in general too busy or preoccupied to observe them, and that they're just as happy to exist within their own realm.

I don't necessarily associate with identifying these creatures as elves, sprites, pixies or whatever. I do, emphatically, believe in the faerie, though, and find them to be as real as the Divine Ones.

Thank you for the explanation. I'm just quire fascinated of the reasons why people believe in what they do. To me, myths and lores have always been part of history. Not necessarily as such or something that has happened, but as a refrence to creatures and such, I'm quite sure there are a lot of imformation to be found in such texts.

Although I'm from Finland, I'm not quite sure if I really can even identify myself with the gods and goddesses of the culture, let alone any other. To me, it has always been more important that the Divine has been there, not even necessarily having a name to it, or to identify with a certain aspect of it/them... however you want to see it.

Just have to love the diversity of the world...
