New Title

The Brad has been calling me 'Mistress of Darkness' for some time now, and it's caught on (why I don't know), but last night Duane left me speechless. I told him the report was on Jeff's desk, & he says, "I will relay the message, oh Princess of Darkness."

Princess?! I felt my brain cramp at that moment, saw bright pink & sparkly flashes & was like, wtf? Obviously, something short-circuited, didn't compute, caused an illegal operation error & terminal failure.

I also had some bad moments in the elevator - I thought that this time I was actually going to die in the elevator. I started wondering to myself if I had said anything particularly snide or vicious before I left the office on my delivery routes... couldn't think of anything & felt confident that I wouldn't come back in my next lifetime w/any extra karmic ties, and prepared myself for a crushing & painful death plummeting to the basement from the 7th floor.

So now I am the Princess of Darkness, good gods...

It's 11am.. Do You Know Where My Sleeping Pills Are?

I am not sleepy, not one iota. This utterly sucks because I have to go to work tonight.

I saw someone's profile on okcupid, & okcupid tells you useless random things about your fellow sitemates, like, "So & So just added 'witch' to her profile!" It got me thinking. I haven't referred to myself as a witch in a very long time. I haven't used the word 'witchcraft' in a very long time, either. I used to call myself a witch all the time, trying to empower that word & dismiss its negative stereotypes by parading it out in public. But somehow, pantheist & animist & Pagan have superceded witch. And even though the way I 'practice', if you want to call it that, is more shamanistic in nature, I don't feel comfy calling myself a 'shaman'. So Pagan I am. I don't remember when I stopped calling myself a witch. I never called myself a Wiccan, as in "Hi, I'm Janelle & I'm Wiccan!" I'd usually say, "I'm a witch & I practice Wicca", with the emphasis placed on witch. But now it's "I'm a fat ol' Pagan woman".

Weird how we pick up labels.

I had a really funny thought, tho, thinking about old-school Pagan/Wiccan/witchcraft. Anyone remember (or still use) the phrase "93 & Blessed Be"?
I coined a new one, but mainly fans of Douglas Adams will understand the many pop-culture & underlying references (another one just occurred to me involving the Great Arkleseizure): "42 & Bless You".

(The new '93 & Blessed Be' seems to be 'Namaste', which I don't use often or at all because I'm not sure exactly how to pronounce it... is that last 'e' silent?)
