Well, yesterday, I sat at 70% Marplot, not daring to update to Caitiff.



I SO want to be in the House of Umbrae Octo and after speaking with Sabastion, SeleneTremere and constantly with Nightgame, I was even more convinced.



So I sat. And waited. And dared not update my status for fear of being inducted while awaiting the outcome of my request to be inducted into the Great House.



Yesterday, as I sat and waited...apparently Cancer was not sitting NOR waiting. He changed the system. This morning: Bing...70% completed on Caitiff level.



I messaged everyone to let them know what had happened. I was quickly forced inducted by Nightgame under a second name into a Coven and finally traded to Sabastion! It was actually quite harrowing! And yes..I'm SERIOUS!



After speaking to some who had been blinded and left as favor slaves...I was very worried about where I may end up. Now to sit and wait again...this time for the House to vote on whether or not I can remain.



Sabastion, ever-graceful, has advised if I am not voted in as a member to the House, he will allow me a period of time to pick another House or Coven and will speak to them on my behalf. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for now. In 3 days time, I should hear my fate.



Ahh..and I updated again today to Level VI - Ghoul. Just in time for Halloween :)

OMG ! Could I be anymore pissed off???

Normally, nothing I'd write for public consumption BUT.....my parents call me from South Africa. No a couple of hundred miles away from my house..no no...10,000 miles away.



They expect me to get on a plane and leave my kids (the twins are only 8!!) for 5 or 6 weeks, returning before Xmas and are climbing all over me for not getting a passport yet!



Now imagine being a single mother with 4 kids living with you, gone to work from 8 am to 7:15 pm and having time, somehow, to run to the passport office which works normal governmental 10 am to 4 pm hours!



I got so angry..that for the first time EVER...I hung up on them. I never release my anger at my parents....EVER. And believe me, I have plenty of anger built up.



For example, they want to see me so bad?? Why not invite the KIDS for one thing?? I'm supposed to just leave them here and have the older ones mind the younger ones...for OVER A MONTH! Secondly, they are only IN South Africa because my father..saint that he is...was arrested for assaulting a g/f..no..not my mother who he lives with....and lost his ability to practice law. So he took his money and left on a permanent vacation!



OMG! I need to hit something!

Anyone in Michigan?

If anyone is in and around the Michigan area, there is a cool Victorian Christmas festival called the Dickens Festival in Holly, MI running from 2 - 6:30 pm every Sat and Sun from December 6 - 21st.



All the shops are done up in Victorian fineness and there's tons of things to see, eat and do. All the festival people are wearing Victorian clothing and a lot of the shops have some really cool Victorian antiques.



Just a thought :)





Ohhh...almost forgot....my husband is the fire eater of the village: Johnny Blaze. If anyone is interested in going up, let me know :)

Why Do I Continue to Fall for Silver??

The separation from my husband is like my soul separating from my body. I miss it sometimes so much I ache. And his silver-tongued promises...much like the promises that drew me in in the first place, make the separation harder to bear.



Silvery - promises, knives, shards of metal that tear through flesh and bone and dig in to the area where hopes, dream and love linger. It seems to me that the solid objects can only reach so far...but those silvery words, promises, sneak all the way in.



I had escaped...was done...the tears had stopped streaming. Until, in the middle of the night, a phone call that sounded so much like my broken soul speaking through the receiver to me, came through. The icy sculpture I had built up around me was slowly picked at with the silver ice pick and poked a hole into my heart where the silvery lies and deceptions slipped back in. My heart, fragile without it's cloak of ice, listened to the words. Why do I always see the shine of silver but never the sharpness nor the chill?



He has my soul. Why does he need two? He took his back from me years ago............

And so it starts......

While trying to locate the glyphs used to mark humans in the Blade movies, I stumbled across Vampire Rave. What is it? What can I do here? Who will I meet? Befriend?



A whelp. My goal..for the time, is to acclimate myself to the site...get a feel for the lay of the land, so to speak. Are there others as lost as me here? Wandering with the brutal reminder of: Friends Online? You don't have any friends.
