Writer's Block: Prophecy or Fallacy?

[Error: unknown template qotd]


Not only do I believe that it's possible to predict the future, I can think of no better way to celebrate Nostradamus's birthday -- and mine -- than by engaging in the practice of divination.

So whether you're serious or silly, please post a predication here for my year to come!

Seriously. . . each year on my birthday I send out a general request to my friends for divinations for the year to come. I would sincerely appreciate any oracles you -- and your gods -- were willing to perform on my behalf.

Gray Eyes and Owls

Last night, the most memorable moments of a long and complicated dream involved an old man in a dark suit asking if he could look deeply into my eyes. I want to find out if I can see owls there, he said.

When he was finished with his long, deep look, I asked him what he had seen. Pools of gray fire, was his response. I found this kind of odd, since my eyes are green. Perhaps even in the dream I wondered if his perceiving gray was a result of how deeply I was drawn to a mention, on a friends' blog, of "a gray-eyed lass fighting beside her lord."

It was only upon waking that I put owls and gray eyes together and thought of Athena.

He also told me that I too often make decisions based on the circumstances of shallow, temporary events, rather than on the deeper, truer things I am aware of.


Speaking of oracles. . .

Thank You!

Thank you, mamadar for the birthday cupcake!

And very belated thanks to redsonjasea for the holiday snowglobe!

Magic Sight

When I went to bed last night, the "winter storm" had consisted of less than an inch of snow on the ground near my home and some gusts of wind.

When I got up in the middle of the night and looked outside, the bare trees were coated with ice, almost as if they had bee flocked, and it was snowing. It was a truly magical site.

This morning there was snow on the ground but the beautiful coating had left the trees.
I felt very fortunate that I'd been awake to catch the glimpse that I had.

Birthday Prezzies

Today has been a very nice day.

Honestly, I've reached the point where it would have been fine if I didn't get any presents, but as it happens I got some very nice ones, so I'm going to squee publically about them.

I woke up very early from an oracular dream, but was able to go back to sleep later.

My sister sent me the most beautiful, most appropriate e-card ever.

My parents took me to a nice lunch, and my dad gave me a wonderful GPS unit for my car: the kind that talks to you, has a button labeled "Take me home" and has listings of hundreds of "points of interests" so you don't have to look everything up elsewhere and then enter it manually. Considering the frequency with which I get lost, this is a godsend.

Midafternoon unicorndelamer came over bearing cookies (and very good cookies there were too!) and Christmas/birthday gifts from her and _storyteller_. There was a mini dragon calendar which will be perfect for my desk nook here at home -- and there was a leather covered journal with perfectly sized line pages! Yum! We spent about five hours talking about all kinds of things, discovering at least one additional very unusual 'thing' we have in common.

Then the Ex brought Wolfling home (which was a great favor in itself since he has a better car and more experience for getting through the ice to the top of my hill), and she gave me her gifts: a furry microfiber blanket that is so soft and cuddly I'm tempted to even take it to work with me, and a box of sinfully delicious Moose Munch.

So now I'm having a late dinner and catching up on LJ.

Thank you again to everyone who posted birthday wishes. It always feels so good to see them as I scroll down my friends page.
