Bah.

It's annoying that the solution's always the same thing: lots of clear communication and setting personal boundaries.

Why isn't there anything magic that doesn't take work? ;P

I'm gonna take the rest of the day off worrying about it if I can, go down to the Farmer's Market, spend some time with the4 SO's family (they're celebrating his brother's birthday), wear my new Pearl Jam t-shirt (!!!!) and generally see if I can relax. Then, back to the grind.

I should have guessed this would come up back when I was thinking, gee, this long distance relationship is working so well!

Magick-with-a-k is, in my circles, the term we use for deliberate spellworking, as opposed to all that other great stuff that is inherently magical. I'm not in any way denigrating magic stuff, just setting aside the deliberate process from the inherent stuff.

It's also useful as a snobby thing, by people who like to spell their words differently in the hope of impressing others.

See, my thing on "just happens" is this: It's entirely possible that shit just happens, and that the universe has better things to do with its time than organize my life like a DM sending me opportunities for experience points. BUT, if I operate under the assumption that life is deliberately organized by some divine entity for my education and enjoyment, then life is more satisfying and more fun, and I generally just get a lot more out of it. So I don't worry about the "truth" of that, because by acting like life is a series of lessons I have been learning a lot more.
