The snow is so great. I shovelled a walk for the first time ever today. It only made it more slippery, but hey.

For The Boy, some Van Morrison.

I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic

and

I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven
I'm in heaven, when you smile
When you smile, when you smile
When you smile.
And when you walk
Across the road
You make my heart go
Boom-boom-boom
Let it all hang out
Baby, let it all hang out

Heh, "the Boy." Whenever someone says that, I'm reminded of the many times Homor Simpson refers to Bart as "the boy" (any time that Homer talks to himself or refers to Bart in such a way, you know the line's going to be hilarious).

When Marge finds Homer collapsed at the botton of the stairs after tripping over one of Bart's roller skates.
"Homer, are you okay?"
"The boy... bring me the boy."

I'm so pop-culture deprived.

Hey you, btw. *waves*

Hey. *waves back*

Congragulations on shacking up with the one person I know who might be more obsessively nuts than me. No wait, I think I have him beat. I don't think he's started talking with his characters yet.

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

I talk to my characters occasionally. Almost always arguments. Is your lj writing-only, or do you have some sort of a life updatey one? We should totally do a visity thing sometime.

[bthomasac.livejournal.com]

My live journal is in theory writing only. I had a "life updatey" one a few months ago, but ultimately I found that it took up a lot of my time and wasn't particularly useful and/or interesting. Graham seduced me back to a livejournal with the suggestion that it would be good for showcasting my novel, and I don't have any particular need to use it for anything else. I might post the occasional personal comment or two if I feel the urge. I'll have to see.

Yeah, sure, visity things are cool. It's probably not healthy for me to be spending too much time talking with Bethany Davies. Though for a hobgoblin of the mind, she gives decent shoulder massages.

Dude.

I never did get to the physical interaction stage. I always counted that as a point in their favour.

Seductive little bastard, he is.

Lemme know when you're in town, or do you recieve visitors over there?

[bthomasac.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yes, he is. A lovable bundle of maniac energy.

Considering I've been obsessing over them for the past five years, I knew that once I moved out on my own, they'd be showing up a lot. Besides, now that I've lost my faith, I need an outlook for my spurts of mystic feeling. I stop being haunted by the Holy Spirit, and instead get ghosts.

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

Between the two of us, I seem to be the manic one, unless that wasn't a typo. In the latter case, everyone I know is like that. He and my 'best friend' Estrellada plot to take over the world every time they get in the same room.

Mine've been riding me since 2001. That's not five years yet, I think.

I love those spurts of mystic feeling. They come almost constantly sometimes, and sort of *are* my faith. You make me curious.

[bthomasac.livejournal.com]

Well, that's fair. I like to consider myself a curiosity.

Feelings of mystic connection and unity made me a pantheist many years ago. A couple of months ago I decided that an emotional connection to the universe which could probably be traced back to a mental anomaly in my brain does not prove the existence of God. So I became an agnostic again. Hasn't stopped me from experiencing the feelings, but now I don't put them in a religious context. If I feel a "presence," I no longer thing it's the Holy Spirit, but instead connect it with elements of my mind. Mainly Bethany Davies.

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

I don't feel a presence so much as... hrm. I feel that things are holy, important, special, whatever. And I find that the more I learn not to connect it with anything, but just enjoy it, the happier I am.

[bthomasac.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. I certainly think many things are special. But I have too much of the pedantic philosopher within me to call myself religious unless I can connect that thing with an objective force or being as opposed to simply metaphorical sympathy and "hobgoblins of the mind."

[greenstorm.livejournal.com]

Ah. Having discarded as much concept of 'objective' as possible, I'm happy to let myself babble at myself without too many distinctions.
