" It's A Fundamental Task "

I am soooooo boring I can't think of anything to write about.

I did enrol for two Adult Education courses today. One for making hot chocolate ( yes sounds simple but you learn to make hot chili chocolate and more...) the other is for printmaking. I have this vision of working on some great pagan images and nature images from wood blocks and lino cuts...I sort of remember doing this in uni, but need a little inspiration and reminder.

I am NOT missing Ebay...I am glad to have a reading life back, and though I am missing the dosh, I am happy pottering away on www.oztion.com.au

Anyway, have finally bought the original Wicker Man on dvd, though something tells me we probably have a copy of it already that I forgot about in the dvd cupboard....oops.

As I said, I am boring, so wherever you are, whichever country you live in, have a brilliant night.

" Thunder & The Moon "

It's all about the weather, but on our way to town this morning Little Severina and I were driving through the fog and the sun was behind it, burning red, and despite all the shit politics and corruption in Tasmania, I did think how glad I am that our family live here,

I am also glad that we have holidays on two weeks, I am so over teaching drama and music ! Time to free my time up a lot I think !

Am reading " Firechild " about Maxine Sanders, the " witch queen ". I can't put it down, I am quite a fan of autobiographies. I am also reading a fiction book called " Pagan Nun ". It has the most amazing cover. Into the old hot chocolate ( 99% fat free of course ) as if that makes any difference, and having my old man away working down south, well it's a bit lonely once Little Severina has gone to bed, no matter.

I seem to have a problem with magazines, they breed so prolifically and I can't give them away s I love them, but am running out of space. I read English Country Living and Period Living, as well as US Country Living and Australia Country Style as well as Spellcraft and Spheres and my camphor chest is bursting at the seams..no matter...I think I'll look for an old travelling trunk to use as a " feature " and storage chest ! Oh I am sooooooooo boring !

" Snap Out Of It Gladys, We've Got Work To Do "

One thing I have noticed about the place we live right now is that it is very very foggy on a morning and an evening, when other places are not.

I love fog.

I am not so keen on driving in it, but I like being in it and looking at it.

So on the way home tonight, I began thinking back to when I was 14/15. I spent a lot of time in Germany, and I remember being dropped in the middle of nowhere with a group of chums to walk to the disco which was also in the middle of nowhere.

Like many I am sure, I spent a lot of my teenage years semi-pissed, often moreso. Especially when I was away from home, overseas with people older than me. I remember wearing my black suede long fringed cowboy jacket and lots of dark make-up.

I also remember being in a German boy's bedroom, Marcel Ahlborn was his name, and he said " fog " pointing out of the window as he said it. I misheard him and thought he said " fuck " and it took me a moment to realise he wasn't about to leap on me, but was merely chatting politely about the weather.

Anyway, I love fog.

" You Limp Wristed Sallies Are Getting In my Way "

Aah I feel tired, but my Ebay list is down to 13 items to complete before I am done....this is good, a feeling of getting my life back. I have even finished a book....I really let my reading slide since Ebay took over my life....I have three on the go right now...it's ace.

We watched " Atonement " last night, and both His Lordship and I were sobbing...it was great, very true to the book and, not surprisingly directed by the author of the book. I recommend it to all.

I am on the verge of the next big thing. I am going back to University next year to do my second bachelor's degree. I had the shittest day last Monday and I thought " that's it ", so long as HL is supportive and I can still pay my way ( I have been saving for a while now ) I am doing it. Even more exciting, when I rung the course adviser, she told me that because I have an education degree I can complete it in 2 years instead of 4, and can enter at 3rd year instead of 1st. So what am I going back to school to do.....well social working initially followed by psychology, I am going to be a psychologist and I couldn't be happier.

Teaching has run the course I have been travelling this last 15 years and it's time to move on.

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So all I need now is a duffle coat and satchel !

" Careful Dialling Saves Time "

We have been watching re-runs of " The Sweeney ". It's ok, quite enjoyable, and John Thaw had lovely eyes....I had a lovely mother's day yesterday. My girl made me a bracelet at school and the funniest card with a photo of her dressed up as a Nanna with a wig on...a blond one at that, looked good with her dark colouring. Then His Lordship bought me " Hetty Wainthropp Investigates ".

My mum and dad and sister came for lunch and I had three glasses of wine and got a thick head. But it was nice. I had a fleeting moment of thinking " I wonder how many more mother's days I'll have with my mum ". But I had to put it out of my head because I would have gone on a downward spiral and that's just shit. I don't want to think about my parents going anywhere else....I have had a lot of shit thoughts recently, it's all down to my grey hair reminding me I am on the cusp of 40, well 37....I have a headache now...I should know better !

" Get Your Hands Off Me You Fairy "

I think it's all a bit funny really. Since I decided to give up selling on Ebay I have had the biggest month ever ! I can't believe how much I have sold. However, I have also had no life either getting all the work done, when I get home from work and after having spent some time with my family....so something has to give, I think it will have to be Ebay for a while at the very least....after a time when I have regained my life back I may list one or two things, but the fact still remains...Ebay are rip off merchants fees-wise and also feedback-wise so maybe I will leave them forever.

I am sorry to go on about this, as to most of you I am sure you are thinking, why is this even worth bothering about...but to me, it has been a big part of my life for ages, I love what I do for others, but I just feel ripped off by them, and so short of time to do anything else...anyway, am going to have a coffee and a bagel and enjoy a rare Saturday at home.

Love to you all, wherever you are,
The Little Witch )0(

" Never Mind Love, See If You Can Rustle Up A Garibaldi "

Top Sex Symbol List as of 9th of May, 2008. ( Present Lover and Soul Mate excluded as this goes without saying ).

1. Rufus Wainwright.
2. Philip Glenister aka Gene Hunt ( see above ) OMG, what is going on here ? A blonde ! I have lewd thoughts about him !

Oh and I did dream about Loudon Wainwright the third last night, not that I find him attractive, but at least half of his genes are in Rufus....so it's not all bad.

I am a bimbo !

" Oh Dr Lincoln, My Head Needs Shrinkin' "

I am wading through the last 35 items I have sold on Ebay and then it's " bye bye ". Damn it I feel free !

" Men Reading Fashion Magazines..."

I have truly been dissatisfied with the capitalist bastards who are Ebay and Paypal for a while now, and after their latest decisions, I am leaving Ebay for www.oztion.com.au permanently.

The owner of paypal is so rich he has been able to build his own spaceship, so that in mind, I am aghast and horrified that Ebay have decided to only allow paypal as their sole payment method from hereon.

Paypal have bad fees, and after Ebay have taken theirs you do really work for peanuts !

I think that is just stupidly greedy.

They want to own everything it seems. Imagine if everyone were told which bank they had to bank with ?

On top of that, now sellers are not allowed to leave negative or neutral feedback for a buyer. This sucks, because I have met so goddess-awful buyers, mean spirited, goalpost changing assholes, not many but some and I don't think the transaction should be all about whether they paid you or not... oh hang on this is Ebay, money IS the only thing that matters...

This may sound like I am mean spirited but I am cross. I hate companies telling me " things are for my own good " when it is a blatant lie !

This I may take less, I may do less work, but my integrity is intact !

More's the better for oztion....if you sign up, say I sent you, I am severina1971
