At loose ends

[ivyblossom]

My school shut down today at 3pm, and 15 million people offered to drive me home. I love the people I work with, they really are so sweet. So I came home, called my mother, had some toast, threw in a load of laundry, watched a few minutes of Oprah, and now I sort of want to take a nap. But it's not even 5pm. And it's snowing like woah out there.

The good thing about winter storms is that the only thing you can really do, once they send up home, is hunker down and wait it out.

Mmmm nap.

That actually sounds wonderful. They don't send you home for rain, which is what's going to happen here.

You should have some hot chocolate. :)

You had snow too? Yesterday, quite unexpectedly, it snowed all day, and there were a great many accidents. May I ask what region and/or state you live in?

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

I live in the fine state of Canada.

Our school was closed for snow today too!

I'm so jealous -- I've completely skipped winter this year, or it skipped me (except for a brief, hopeful 48-hour period when the snow came to tease me)... I need to get back to the northern world ASAP.

Hope you're enjoying your cuddling-up-being-warm-and-watching-outside-be-cold. One of the best things in life.

totally random and off-topic

totally random and off-topic post, and hoping you might read this, despite the fact you posted this last public entry almost 3 weeks ago..

i've just finished reading the cicatrix cycle for the second time (several years apart), and i really mostly just wanted to congratulate on such beautiful and articulate pieces of work. i think i'm in love. i cried, and laughed and argh, there were so many emotions, it was indescribable, in a wonderful way.
i understand there were 3 parts, origins, haven and belong... but i also had quiescent stored on my computer...was this like a 4th part? and does it really end with Pansy offering Ginny a cigarette... because there are so many more things i want to read, so many more things to explain...or is that the idea...i just sit here, hugging my legs and just staring blankly at my screen, in shock and complete and utter disbelief!

love your style
thankyou

Hullo!

You've been not-around for quite a while. I just came across an interesting bit of news and I thought of you. JTS (the Jewish Theological Seminary, which is so far as I understand it the biggest place where people involved with Conservative Judaism get ordained) is now ordaining gay and lesbian people. The part of the rationale I've found most unexpected was the survey results they came up with from the Conservative movement as a whole:

"The survey findings showed consistent majorities of roughly two-thirds or more in favor of ordination. Rabbis and cantors endorsed the move by almost exactly that majority. Conservative educators, executive directors, and other professionals were in favor 76% to 16% (with others undecided). Lay leaders voted for it 69% to 22%. JTS rabbinical students did so by a much slimmer majority (58% to 32%), as did the cantorial students (58% to 21%). Clergy in Israel were split down the middle. Respondents in Canada were overwhelmingly against ordination."

Boo! I went on a mean defriending spree, and I don't want to leave people in the dark as to why they got defriended.

Basically my f-list was overwhelmingly large and I was to crazy/busy to read it all. You're just one of those people I don't know very well and don't talk to much! I also figured that since your f-list is humongous, you probably don't read my journal. So, hopefully you don't mind. :)

I snuck over here to ask for a copy of the Bb/livejournal discussion thingie, too, since I didn't want to start a landrush over on a_a AND because I'm sitting in an airport and don't want to get caught up in the response. If you could, it would make my heart happy.

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

We're still putting the finishing touches on it, but it's open source, so you can certainly have a copy. I'll post to A_A about it when it's available, I promise. :)

Thanks.
