Re: Confessions

Heh, I've been calling it Shark Week forever, because someone posted it on Livejournal once and it amused the hell out of me.

Re: Confessions

Requited love must be nice. I'm not in love with anyone, I just see couples all of the time and know why I can't have that, but still want it.

Re: Confessions

I should be helping cook right now but instead i'm on my laptop in the stable siting with one of my horses (she's so snugly sometimes) watching my boyfriend and brother play with the dogs

Re: Confessions

I don't really like other people. It doesn't give me an excuse to be a butt or act like one, though.

Re: Confessions

I confess that as soon as I got up and opened my laptop I turned on Christmas music. If we had Thanksgiving music I would listen to that but we don't and I am home by myself that it is now acceptable to listen to it.

Re: Confessions

Yeah, it's been shark week for me as well.

Re: Confessions

I was Army a long time ago and I sometimes miss that feeling of being a "warrior", or maybe the powerful feeling that goes with it. It's not something that Buddhism really caters for.

Re: Confessions

I was involved in Tibetan Buddhism for many years and I don't rate Pema Chodron very highly, she parrots a sort of fluffy new-age facscimile. Her teacher was a drunk of course.

Re: Confessions

The more people I meet, the more time I'd rather be spending with my cats for company instead of them.

Re: Confessions

I am actually really quite lonely.

I am not similar enough to anyone near me that I can socialize with them. So I have no social life. I'm not really very similar with other local pagans at all either so that's not really going to go very far.

Re: Confessions

I feel bad about saving my father after his suicide attempt four years ago, because he just fell into drug addiction, alcoholism, and poor morals afterwards, and then died recently. Beyond that, the residual pain from his various self inflicted injuries led to the afterformentioned drug addiction and poor morals. If I had been a bit slower to get help, maybe he wouldn't have suffered so much only to die shortly afterward anyways. Which is a strange thing to feel guilty about, but guilt is an irrational thing.

I can understand that. When my mother died in the hospital, I was sorta relieved. She had been having a difficult time holding on to her mental health and her kidneys were just giving out. She held on so long, I just wanted her to go ahead and let go.

I can understand this. :P I actually liked Pema (and even Trungpa for a while) back in my Buddhist days but well... now I'm on a pagan forum perhaps that tells something.
(And still I'm recommending them here. Ahem..)

Re: Confessions

I confess that I really don't feel sorry for leaving the country over the black friday sale. Nor do I feel guilty for leaving my coworkers to handle that madness without me.
