Vocation
(copy/paste from comment to 
wiredferret)
My writing's a vocation, first and foremost. Livejournal has been somewhat of a dream come true for me.
I've always planned to have my journals, warts and all, published posthumously. Probably, given the honest way in which I write, posthumously to many of the people referred to in them as well, and fifty years after that. My high school friend Shawn claimed the task of editing afterwards; I think someone else will have taken that job by final publication date. Some of the journals are footnoted with yellow stickytabs, explaining, clarifying.
I knew at fourteen that life was a comedy, and my role was clown. I accepted the task cheerfully, and derive satisfaction when other people learn from my ups and downs, triumphs and blunders.
Livejournal makes me not have to wait for official publication to share some of these things. Perhaps, if I'm famous enough, someone will come out with a "best-of" hardcopy at some point. No need to include the silly surveys.
I'm called to my Art of Magic. Not everyone chooses to accept the Gift and Responsibility. Again, there I do what others cannot. An it harm none, do as ye will. I was ordained by the Universal Life Church this summer, to give credentials to my calling. Do what is right.
Mechanical systems fascinate me. I delight in taking apart a computer, or watching someone dismantle a toilet and standing by and helping. I'm working on the "putting back together" phase of things. Today I learned how to make networking cable, patch and crossover. I already knew how to install windows 2K. This is something that more people are learning, computer pieces and parts, but it's something I do, do well, and love. It's not my primary calling, but it's something to do and do well and adore while doing, so that'll do.

That's on my list of Things To Do...but not yet. I won't do that 'til I'm told I'm ready for Priestess. But I know it's a coming thing. :) I feel like I've been on hold this past year...I've hardly done any ritual at all or any Seeking for most of the year. Living in this house...hell, I don't have anywhere private I could cast a circle, even...at least, one that doesn't go through the computer table, the keyboard, the middle of the bed, and an amp! :) And I'm cautious about doing too many circles that enclose electronic equipment...it tends to cause errors for them to be in "a place between time". :)
The first full moon in my new apartment will find me walking down the street, past the train station, into the woods. Looking forward to it.

I didn't get ordained as anything specific, myself. No claim to title; no need for one (at least at the moment).
We're lucky in that we've got a nice reasonably large for the apartment living room. Coffee table has no permanent fixtures on it, since guess what it doubles as?
Re:
I have a mini-altar on the top of the hutch of my computer desk...but most of my spellworkings don't require circle casting. I can only remember 2 or 3 times I've had to cast a circle in the past year. (I'd do it for ritual, but as I said, I haven't had much ritual this year. My bad.)
