I need somewhere I can customise more - you can find me HERE

..somewhere along the line...I don't know where my life is going at the moment...

First up I want to thank (sounds like an Oscars speech) Mab and Danette for dropping into unfamiliar Bravent territory to say hi, I appreciate it more than you 2 know. Thanks. I'm a very messed up RatMagick right now and you putting up with me is really appreciated heaps.

I keep catching myself at work sitting at my desk, head on the keyboard, thinking "what the hell am I doing?". I have a job that I never was, nor ever will be cut out for - why do it? because we need the money. I'm a job whore - if that makes any sense. I do it so that we can pay the bills and have something of a life, but most of the time it just feels like such a thankless task. Then when I get home there are so many chores (I love that word, don't know why, it's a Granny type word) to be done, all thankless tasks also, but if I don't do them they'll never get done. Then, late in the evening, I get time to myself...which I spend with my boys and my books...it's bliss, but it never lasts long enough and the daily wait for that time to come around is unbearable some days. I'm sure I sound ridiculously self indulgent, I'm just having a chronic "why do I bother?" month.

Well, my little Louie is waiting expectantly for a cuddle - then it's time to do laundry and tidy up - go me. I'm going to try some more meditation tonight, so far I get about 20 mins into it and then fall asleep. Working from Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft at the mo, which is a little intense, but a mine of information.

OK, I'm here - I like it......

Want to get some pics up, namely of my rats and a pentacle or two, what with me being RatMagick and all. Photobucket seems to have fallen over though, so I'll leave it for now and try again tomorrow. I've been a blogger for about a year now, and it has to be said I'm addicted to it, I don't think I can get by blog-less, it's such a great outlet for everything. I was with tblog for a while, those tbloggers are great, but I had to move on for a variety of reasons. Right now I'm just looking for somewhere where I can be me without having to worry.

So a quick bit about me for anyone new who's reading this. I'm 27 yrs old, I read far too much, long and late into the night. My favourite genres are fantasy and horror. I'm trying to write a novel of my own but at the moment it really isn't going well. I'm newly into rats and Wicca....(hence, of course, RatMagick). I have 2 bucks, Scabbers and Louie, and they've completely amazed me and won me over, I'm now a 100% rat person. We also have 2 cats and live in a 1900's cottage in the middle of nowhere.

Life has been very up and down for me lately, right now I'm trying to settle down and get everything under control.

Anyway, til tomorrow, thanks for having me.

Well, what with one thing and another RatMagick is on the move again and has a new home. Apologies for all the changes but it's been a traumatic few weeks. More to come later tonight when I sort myself out a little bit.
