mood: crazy
"Thrill with lissome lust of the light,
O man! My man!
Come careering out of the night
Of Pan! Io Pan!
Io Pan! Io Pan! Come over the sea
From Sicily and Arcady!
Roaming as Bacchus, with fauns and pards
And nymphs and satyrs for thy guards,
On a milk-white ass, come over the sea
To me, to me,
Come with Apollo in bridal dress
(Shepardess and pythoness) <------------------[[info]ladyaraia Just sayin!]
Come with Artemis, silken shod,
And wash thy white thigh, beautiful God,
In the moon of the woods, on the marble mount,
The dimpled dawn of the amber fount!
Dip the purple of passionate prayer
In the crimson shrine, the scarlet snare,
The soul that startles in eyes of blue
To watch thy wantoness weeping through
The tangled grove, the gnarled bole,
Of the living tree that is spirit and soul
And body and brain- come over the sea,
(Io Pan! Io Pan!)
Devil or god, to me, to me,
My man! my man!
Come with trumpets sounding shrill
Over the hill!
Come with drums low muttering
From the spring!
Come with flute and come with pipe!
Am I not ripe?
I, who wait and writhe and wrestle
With air that hath no boughs to nestle
My body, weary of empty clasp,
Strong as a lion and sharp as an asp-
Come, O come!
I am numb
With the lonely lust of devildom.
Thrust the sword through the galling fetter,
All-devourer, all-begetter;
Give me the sign of the Open Eye,
And the token erect of thorny thigh,
And the word of madness and mystery,
O Pan! Io Pan!
Io Pan! Io Pan Pan! Pan Pan! Pan,
I am a man:
Do as thou wilt, as a great god can
O Pan! Io Pan!
Io Pan! Io Pan Pan! I am awake
In the grip of the snake.
The eagle slashes with beak and claw;
The gods withdrawL
The great beasts come, Io Pan! I am borne
To death on the horn
Of the unicorn.
I am Pan! Io Pan! Io Pan Pan! Pan!
I am thy mate, I am thy man,
Goat of thy flock, I am gold, I am god,
Flesh to thy bone, flower to thy rod.
With hoofs of steel I race on the rocks
Through the solstice stubborn to equinox.
And I rave; and I rape and I rip and I rend
Everlasting, world without end,
Mannikin, maiden, maenad, man
In the might of Pan.
Io Pan! Io Pan Pan! Pan! Io Pan!"

-Hymn to Pan
Ajax, Sophocles

  This will double as a reminder and a warning.
Reminder: There is a Piercing Party this Saturday from 9am-9pm.
Somepeople have reserved times already. The rest of you will be firstcome/first pierced.

Warning: Various weather services are predicting snow for thisweekend. Starting as early as Friday afternoon or holding off to aslate as Sunday evening. If snow should arrive before the PiercingParty on Saturday morning, I will be suspending the party for anotherday. Our hill is not kind and I don't want anyone harming themselvesto get here. Please pass this on to any others that you may have told about theparty.

  A really good friend sent me this today and there is a ton in it that I adore, subject matter wise. But I also REALLY enjoy the way that its written. The narrorator is ver y positive about what their writing and doesn't slam anyone else in the process of speaking their truth, I think that is revolutionary.

mood: happy
Because it's my perspective...and that's valid (ha!) :)

In a sentence. Folks fucking brought it!

1st Place: To the folks that prepared thier hardest with something that twanged at their souls and brought that forth.

2nd Place: To the folks that played it safe and strong, a place where there is merit...and a space that is asking for someone to challenge. :)

3rd Place: To all of those folks that decided, this is just not the time/year and are taking care of themselves. You were missed, and respected.

With honorable mention: To those that rocked MY FUCKING SOCKS OFF!! The ones that left me going 'What?!' 'YEEEEAHHH!' and 'No, you didn't!!'
Holy fucking right!

Getting up there, throwing your guts and ferocity at the directors and other players...with nothing separating you. Nothing.
That is my kind of magick.

And...to the last person to audition.

My Mom. Wins.

But BB was right about one thing. I was looking around the room at about hour #3 and was like 'Holy shit. In a couple of days we are going to know whose been cast..and then start researching..and then start rehearsing...
This isn't just an audition, this IS the start of something.

Here we go.

mood: infuriated
I come home from a panel; talking about LGBTQ peace and social justice...and how I don't really do alot of out and visible activism anymore...
To [info]moon7storm watching the Racheal Maddow show,
and her piece on the new Ugandan "kill the gays" bill.

http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2009/12/04/Maddow_Uganda_Be_Kidding_Me/
(this has both of her segments on it.)

This is dedicated to all of you folks out there who honestly don't believe that
- Coming out isn't a big deal.
- We're 'Post Gay'
- That 'Nobody' wants 'Them fucking Queers' dead, anymore.
