GSV: Obviate the need

Reinvention is a wonderful thing, I have done it multiple times throughout my life. Boyfriend, husband, father, coder, grump. Everytime I enter a new period of my life, there is a new me. Or not so much new, as built on top of the old, but I tend to decide, when I am somewhere new, how I want to portray myself. Fierce, willful, whatever. The cleverness projection doesn’t work, but I keep trying at that.

What is the point of all this, you say? Well, I have decided, after a few discussions with various people over the past weeks, that maybe the grumpyness is not the way to go. Everyone gets rattled, stressed and strung out. But only for a short time. While I can hold a grudge forever, I only do so if I have been suitably wronged. For friends, it matters not, I will remember it, it will be a point of laughter, it will be forgiven, but not forgotten. προσεχετε εαυτοις εαν δε αμαρτη εις σε ο αδελφος σου επιτιμησον αυτω και εαν μετανοηση αφες αυτω. Remember that.

Because being a grump means I can’t be a mystic. I think. Of course, it doesn’t really mean that, as all those First Covenant prophets were a bit grumpy. Given my rather esoteric interests, knowledge and bookshelf, starting a real cult seems the way to go. Take all the learning from all over the world, incorporate all the lore, steal all the ideas, try all the systems, and develop our own. There is fun to be had, to be sure. There are rituals to enact, methods to teach and people to bamboozle.

In two last points, our thoughts and prayers are with Cassandra’s grandmothers. Her (maternal) grandmother has just had an operation for breast cancer, and her (paternal) grandmother is not in a good state either. This hasn’t helped the recent testiness, but no excuse really. It also means I am wife-less this weekend. I expect a list of instructions left in case I forget to be somewhere/feed the progeny/breathe.

And did you know, Sigur Ros is great music for writing RFCs to.
