Kinda long, but worth the watch...

(Note: For those unfamiliar with the anime series "Inuyasha", or the storyline to it, some of this post will probably get very lost on you)

For those who don't know, I started watching the show Inuyasha about 2 to 2-1/2 years ago. I have really fallen in love with the show (couldn't tell you the exact reasons why - just have), however lately, my mind has really been doing some thinking as I have noticed some similarities between the some of the aspects of the show and parts of my life, and I'm not sure whether to be concerned or amused.

For sake of length of post, I'm not going in to all the details of the storyline - I'm going to assume that those reading this have a basic understanding of it.(If you don't, go here:
http://www.inuyashajourney.com/Story.php) My love life, as some know, has been quite complicated... all my life.  And one of the things that I have always been bothered by is the fact that I seem to be 'forgettable'.  I'm not the girl that a guy thinks about years later, wonders how she is with a smile or smirk on his face, the one he still - even secretly - fantasizes about and still sometimes wishes was his.  You know the kind I mean.  The unforgettable one.  The one they never seem to really get over, the one that all women afterwards are measured by and also seem to unwittingly and unknowingly are compared to.  Yea... that one.  I have never been *that* to any guy I know.  Not from a lack of trying, mind you.  I just know - deep down - that I can't compare and I can't win against 'the unforgettable one'.  And thats where the whole Inuyasha thing comes in.  As I'm watching it, I start to see the similarities... at first, very subtle, then I start to wonder if I'm imagining it, and then as I see more, I realize I'm not imagining it at all.  My relationships have been a lot like the one between Inuyasha and Kagome.  While they are attracted to each other - even if they don't seem to want to openly admit it to each other - there is always 'the unforgettable one', somewhere.  And her name (in the story) is Kikyo.  While she does show up from time to time, the threat is not so much her physical presence, as it is the emotional and mental one that she has over him, and even as he struggles with his feelings for Kagome, he still harbors very deep, real, never-ending feelings for Kikyo that seem to transcend both time and space.  I have always been in the position of Kagome -  always being the one that seems to be up against 'the unforgettable one', and it isn't fair.  I can sympathize with Kagome as I watch the show, and always seem to cheer her on, in hopes that she will ultimately win Inuyasha's heart and soul.  Not just for herself, but for all the Kagome's out there who want to know that it is possible to win over 'the unforgettable one'.

Ultimately though, I wish I could be that woman to someone.  I have never been a "Kikyo" to a guy.  I (most likely) will never BE a "Kikyo" to a guy.  In my current state, I can see why I will never be a "Kikyo" to a guy, even though I know that what I do, and what I offer in a relationship in not much different than those who are the "Kikyo's" in their lives.  It's not fair that they came first.  I have never been someone's first, or lasting memory, or the one that he seems to fall back on when he's daydreaming, or fantasizing, or thinking, or wondering....

I've been fated to live my life as a "Kagome".  And it gets so tiring and frustrating.

Hello and Merry Meet All!

I'm hoping that someone out there can help me.

I've been on a quest for the last few years to find a poem that was in one of the past issues of The Witches Almanac.  Unfortunately I don't recall WHICH issue it was from, although I can tell you it was out before October 2003, because I remember reading it back in Wareham, and I moved to Oklahoma in October, 2003.  The poem was about the weather - more specifically the wind (like the North Wind, the West Wind, etc).  In the poem it goes on about how one of the winds cold brings about a clear head, and that another wind (I think the South Wind) brings about comfort?  Mind you, I'm trying to remember back 5+ years ago so my memory is not the greatest.  I already contacted the people at TWA and they told me about 2 poems that they could think of:  "Four Winds" by Sara Teasdale (that's not it, but a nice poem) and another one by Katherine H___ (can't recall the last name and can't find a copy of it on the internet anywhere).  So I'm asking those of you who may still have the older issues hanging around.... can you please check them and see if you can find this poem for me, and if you do, copy it or email it to me at WillowRavenSpirit@gmail.com ?  I would be forever grateful!  For some reason, I'm thinking it's around the time of 1999-2003.  The blue cover (2000-2001) and red cover (2002-2003) seem to be really sticking out in my memory, for some reason.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have gone all over the internet checking out poems on weather, wind... you name it!  I'm not having ANY luck whatsoever!!

Thank you everyone.

Just so sick and tired of being sick and tired and mostly sick and tired of the bullshit, the drama, and the hundreds of other things I could list, but won't, because I know it won't make a difference and it won't make them stop.  Just want to run (not that I really could - I'd end up flogging myself!)... but you get the idea.  Want to run, and hide and not deal with anyone, or anything, or really be any place at all.  There are times - many lately - I don't even want to get out of bed, don't want to eat, don't want to see people, don't want to do anything.  Just fade away.

I've had enough.  I want 'off'.

Talk about being "spot on":


Dear Michelle,
Here is your horoscope
for Sunday, June 1:

You're not in the best state of mind to involve yourself in anything that involves sharing -- though it's not like you've turned into a Scrooge overnight! It's just that nothing seems quite fair to you, for now.


This has been me for the last few MONTHS now...and don't see it ending any time soon.
::sighs::

On a different note... we rented "The Golden Compass" and I was a bit disappointed.  I'm glad I read the book first because the movie left out a LOT of information that was vital to the story, not to mention they scrunched up the timeline of things really really bad!  Have to admit tho, I am LOVING the fact they have Sam Elliott playing the part of Lee Scoresby - couldn't have chosen a better person and look forward to watching him in parts 2 and 3, if they choose to continue this.  I hope they do a better job of keeping closer to the storyline in them as well - because this is so reminiscent of "Eragon" (the movie vs. the book) that it's just "sad".

        What Spice Are You?
    

    



You are Saffron!  The rarest of the rare, you are mysterious, elusive and completely intoxicating.  You effect everything you touch and more, when you enter a room it is like throwing a stone into a still pond.  You're not even sure why you have this effect on people, and even if you did you wouldn't tell.  Secretive and tempting, everyone remembers you, even if they only met you for an instant.Saffron is the rarest and most expensive spice in the world.  It is made up of the dried stigmas of the saffron croucous and each strand must be harvested and dried by hand.  It takes 75,000 strands of saffron to produce one pound of the spice.  However, the flavor and coloring power of a single stand make it possible to use the spice sparingly.  It is most commonly used in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes.
