Ah, housecleaning.

What would normal people say? Oh, yes. "I put Christmas lights up on the ceiling in my room in the shape of a star. It looks kick-ass!"

I, on the other hand, "inscribed a permanent pentagram of light upon the ceiling of my temple."

Yeah, it looks kick-ass. I really need to take it down, though, and replace bulbs in one of the strings of lights, because about 3/4 of them don't light up, and it would be just damn stupid to do the work on a chair about to fall over onto whatever lies beneath.

You go, girl!!

*g*

This is one of the absolute witchiest households I've ever lived in. I think the least witchy of the people who spends any time in here would be my current fling, and that includes the maintainance guy from the apartment complex, who wears a silver pentacle proudly.

It's so nice to have an altar in every direction in the house, though it looks like the primary West altar just got re-arranged in the housecleaning. Woops!!

Now I'm trying to figure out how to re-inscribe the thing, given that 3/4 of the bulbs are burned out. Granted, the ones that are still lit are of the appropriate color blue, but still... hmm. The plug situation looks dire.

Well, if you were local, sweetie, I'd offer to come assist with the bulb-installation. I don't have problems with chairs. Roommates always used to make me do anything involved with the ceiling. :)

I lived in a household like that for a while. Was roommates with two other pagans for about 5 months. It was good! There was an altar in every room, almost...One in each bedroom and one in the living room. None in the kitchen, exactly...though there were magical plants on the windowsill. *G*

Living in the apt with just my hubby last year was a good magical place. Our balcony faced out over a small grove of trees with a creek running through it, and it was populated by many Fae Folk. We missed that wood more than anything when we moved out to go on the tour-that-died. I've started praying for our next apartment...we're going to have to choose based on price more than anything, this time, 'cause we want to get our bills totally paid off in the next few years. So any pluses in the location column are going to have to be strictly deity-granted. :)

Heh, it's not me and heights that are the problem so much as the chairs I've got to work with in order to get up there. Folding chairs, tippy. But I've got one resident other witch, and two more who visit regularly, and a team effort will be made to get my section of the temple kicking even more butt.

Hmm, let me count the altars. Two bedroom apartment, large open living room / kitchen area... Starting from the East, in the East bedroom ... mine, then my computer altar (south), then the top of the TV, East (living room), then the glass altar (multipurpose, originally a coffee table and sometimes even used for that), then the south altar, also in the living room... not much in the kitchen, though the countertops and stove are working altars for Sis's cooking rituals... North altar in the living room, then ... well, the West altar in the west bedroom was moved so now it faces east, and then a north altar in the little hallway... and then back into the east bedroom again.

Yeah, this is a witchy household, especially with the plaque with runes on it on the front door.

You need a chair to reach the ceiling?

*smirk*

Oh well, I guess the side benefit is you never hit your hand on the ceiling fan when your changing shirts either.

Nope, I only bonk the ceiling fan when I'm waving around a lightsaber and making an idiot of myself indoors.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with those things around! *G* Chris even bought a little machine that looks like a Sith droid that follows a sensor in the lightsabre that came with it, and shoots nerf disks at you. It's a training droid, you see, you have to then block the disks...and they go fast enough that you actually *do* have to use the Force to be able to hit them...

That sounds so cool!

Hmm.. (begins evil plots for training droid and Darkside....)

Dunno where you'd get one; we found it at a thrift store. I've never seen one in the stores.

I would ask first the Sith Academy, an odd haven of Star Wars: TPM slashers and Maul/Obi slash/humor fans... who have a remarkable amount of resources at their command...

I'm sure you didn't just describe what Sith Academy was for *my* benefit...I'm sure it was for all those odd readers out there, right? *giggle*

::remembering when sockii started the TPM slash archive and when Sith Academy started, and chatting with the authors thereof on the squidge TPM room...::

Oh, and have I mentioned that I'm the SWA-L archivist? (Star Wars Allslash List) If you don't know that one, it's at http://www.squidge.org/swal/

Oooooooh.

Hee. Wasn't sure if you were familar with the SA or not. I'm semi-active on Sithacademy-talk (the official e-mail list) as Joanie Laurel from House SA-AZ.

I shall have to check out the SWA-L at some point. (momentary interruption in typing as I see that Darkside's work group has dissolved and wandered off)

I seem to be more of a filker than a ficcer, though my only contributions to date are the (narrowly released) "Dark Side In Your Soul" (with the rest of House SA-AZ) and the (unreleased) "Cable Connection."

I haven't written anything in a while (see my profile for the reasons) but I do have my own fic webpage. It's listed on my journal. It's got TPM fic in it...though my favourite one is listed on the works in progress page. It's not in progress, really. It's finished, just lacking beta editing. (Beta has *read* it, I just haven't *edited* it yet.) It's called Restraint. :)

Hmmm. Definite not-for-school poke beak into. :)

*giggle* Prolly not. ;)
