TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I have to admit, I did join in a pagan May Day ritual a few years ago... after expressly telling the people asking that they probably wouldn't want my goddess there... and dropping hints as everyone was getting ready that Eris would probably make something bad happen. I kept looking up at the sky nervously, looking around as though something terrible was about to happen and, as planned, that unease spread.

About halfway through the ritual, the skies opened up and dumped a torrent of rain on all of them. They never invited me to join them for another ritual.  :lulz:

What, they're not going to credit Thor or Zeus for that? That is their domain, after all.   :lulz:

B'awwwwwww, I just wanna hug you and give you cookies and a rattle with pink and orange feathers on it with a drum track playing and patpat your head.

I will refrain though, because your avatar still unnerves me.  Also you could probably beat me up.

She WOULD, after that post and given half a chance.

Huh. I don't know. I must have misinterpreted. Rereading that it doesn't make much sense to me either.

Didn't get very good sleep last night. I'm in the process of finding a new place to live in a short amount of time. Probably not thinking too clearly. My apologies, Nadezhda.

:D  It's all good!  I may prove you right eventually, don't get your hopes up :)

Also, I think part of the reason I didn't start posting until now (I signed this account up three years ago or something) is that I was afraid of the big, bad, scary discordians.  So like, super serial dudes, wtf is this shit.

Seriously though, I can overlook that the magical dinosaur has tiny little fluffy wings, but they are WAY TOO far back on his body!  His face should be plummeting to the earth!

For one of my Cult. Anth. classes last year, I wrote a paper on the origins, approprition, and misappropriation of the word "Shaman," first by dumbass touristoscholars and then by the modern neopoopin movement.  It ended up being a big judgmental-fest but I ended up being a bit-more-than-an-armchair-expert on it... But when you have someone who is trying to claim that they are a Shaman because they have a shitty plastic drum and use a guided meditation CD, and you try to educate them that they are
1)not practising anything remotely SiberoRussian  or
2)NOT A SHAMAN
they get insulted.
"Caffiene is a drug that will help my consciousness reach the otherworlds" they say, tapping away on their netbook on the free wifi, looking at one of the many neo-urban-shamsicle ezines or whatever that have popped up these days.
I love the climate here, but I'm really starting to hate a lot of the people in this town.

I still, to this day, have to have that argument about the difference in terms of "Wiccan" and "Witch," WHY DO THESE PEOPLE STILL EXIST.
