Black Friday

I suspect that there is a huge overlap in the set of people that shop on Black Friday and the set of people who don't vote.

quizzes

These Facebook quizzes started off interesting but now they've just gotten silly. No, I am not interested in knowing what color my elephant is. Nor do I wish to discover whether or not I am in pain.

Narcissism

I am not a narcissist but I have inherited a bit of the familial paranoia. It's not the everyone-is-conspiring-against-me sort of paranoia. It's more like the everyone-hates-me kind. A narcissist would take that information and use it against me to try to control me....which a number of people have tried to do.

Meditation patterns

I have noticed a pattern to my meditations. I always come out feeling refreshed and relaxed, but the profound and mind-blowingly deep meditation sessions only happen when I start from a completely stressed and wigged out state. It's like the difference between slipping into a pool from the steps versus diving into a pool from a high cliff.

Fish fingers and custard

For the first meal after my regeneration, I asked the hospital cafeteria for fish fingers and custard. Closest I could find was fish sticks and tapioca. That's the same thing, right?

Wiccan Missionaries

If such things as Wiccan missionaries existed (they don't,) the best tool they could use to convert the heathens would be to point out that Wiccans get to pray to a hot naked chick rather than a dead guy on a torture device.

Real and imaginary

Although I consider myself very religious, I'm sure that most people would call me an atheist. I am completely devoted to the Goddess but do not think she is "real" in the sense that physical objects are "real." In the depths of my most profound meditations, the distinctions of real and imaginary are meaningless.

Fake News

Sites with fake news presented as though it were real say "don't get your panties in a bunch. It's just satire." But satire is supposed to be funny. These articles are not. They exist for the sole purpose of trying to dupe people. Those who put up these sites get off on "putting one over on those idiots." They are proof that trolls exist on both sides of the server.
