News and Pictures and Shit (not literal faecal matter, mind)

Friday, January 13, 2012 7:54:25 PM

, , , ,

I'll break up the news and shit with random pictures. Why? Because I feel like it. Fuck you, that's why.

I enter a lot of competitions. Especially when there's a few knocking about for something I REALLY want. Since October I've been trying to win a Samsung Galaxy s2 for Mik's birthday. I was entering every competition giving one away that I found, even ones I usually don't.
Long story short, 2 days ago I got an email from a nice lady and today a postman made me sign for a shiny new £400 phone. Mik's happy, Mum gets his old phone, so I'm happy. I almost didn't enter the competition I won as I thought I probably didn't qualify, but I wrote in the form that I was sorry for entering if I wasn't eligible for the prize draw. Pretty glad I went for it, obviously.

Now see this.


We've had a lot of to-do around home lately, and nerves and emotions have been raw. I'm not making things easy, not at all. Like I said before, I have a helluva lot of challenge ahead this year, but I'm determined. I have priorities straight and I have realistic goals. S'it.

Look at this.
(Project here)

Had ANOTHER fucking pre-assessment at the hospital today, and my surgery date, which is two weeks today. Had the news that I'ma be on an all-female ward, which means no Mik. Obviously I freaked out majorly, there's a reason he's listed as my carer, but they told me I could both phone him and, once I have my surgery time told, sit with him where he waits until I have to go in. I'm worried, cause there's also a tiny chance he's not gonna be there when I come around from the anaesthesia. I know what I'm like when I'm put under stress like hospital, add in the grogginess and owies and I'll be in 5-year-old mode again mad I hate myself in that mode more than anything.
Told the nurse about my issues and she told me to make sure I take a sedative the night before so I sleep, in the morning with my last water before I fast, and bring some with me as I may need/be allowed more when I'm there (I gotta be there waiting super early). I won't be allowed water or anything and I dehydrate when panicking and use water to help calm down so I'm nervous there too. I figure I'll call Mik and take my phone and put one earphone in listening to music so that I can be immersed but not so much that I feel freaked out and can't hear or sense danger.
Whatever, I know what I mean. Anyway, I'm scared. Prolly you think I'm exaggerating or just being stupid. You're entitled to your wrong opinion.

This is very Mik and I:


The good news is that I'ma be fine and all healed by the time our 10th anniversary rolls around. I was a bit concerned I'd be all puffy and sore, but nope, it's 2 months from surgery day so I'm pretty much guaranteed to be okay.

Now 2 comics.



Yup.

Whenever you panic, practice turning your mind towards your upcoming anniversary (it helps to have something to look forward to). Obviously it's not as easy as that, but the more you do it, the more the pathways in your brain to do it will be built, and the easier it will get. smile

You should follow your breaths. Count each one up to ten then start over again. Deep diaphramic breaths.

Thanks for the tips. I know pretty much all of the techniques used today and put the most personally effective to use, often. I appreciate the thought though. Obviously calm comes eventually with technique but the panic will happen nonetheless.

Martin K™Aqualion Saturday, January 14, 2012 9:34:51 AM

Samsung Galaxy S II? Now, there's a nice phone.

I don't like hospitals. I hate visiting people who are there for one reason or the other. There's something about the atmosphere that makes me feel shitty. On the other hand, going there to get things done and staying there for a while, that's an entirely different story. I actually feel safe being in the hospital as a patient, I prefer that from going as a visitor. Peculiar...

Clogged arteries... *Shakes head, giggling*.

FlaRin Saturday, January 14, 2012 1:41:06 PM

I used to work in a Hospital, just off Oxford St in London (The Middlesex Hospital). It's shut now - but it was a fascinating place, very very old - the basement was a labyrinth, many corridors being lined with all the old medical record books, handwritten (of course), going back to the 17th century. Amazing stuff smile

I'm not exactly sure what to say other than my thoughts will be with you during your ordeal. I wish there were something I could do to help you through all of this - knowing you'll be in mental agony along with healing up from surgery bothers me considerably. sad heart

Martin - yeah, it's pretty decent. Mik's pleased, anyway.
I don't like hospitals at any length or on any side of the thing. They're damned places and most people hate them of course - they are places of injury, death and disease. Of course, we go there to be fixed but the whole mess evokes unpleasant memories for all.

Nick - really old hospitals are fucking terrifying, but in the creepy way rather than the claustrophobic, populated way. I must admit to finding myself enthralled whenever near one that's just... abandoned.

Karen - don't worry, I've survived worse. Feeling a little more optimistic today, so trying to go with it. Some people just look at me like a freak when I stress so much about it. If their mind worked the way mine does, they'd be fucking hassled too.
Eh, sorry. Dealt with someone who didn't really get it today and it really fucking pisses me off. There's a chance I'll coast through the recovery stage. It's been known to happen, and hit me later. Either way I'll deal at some point. Mik'll take care of me and I'll have things to help.

Thanks Dark. Should be fine, I'm just likely to be in pain for a bit and freaked. Never had a hangover though so p

Clint, Aadil and Harry - Bahaha, lol you guys have cheered me up a bit actually! Thanks bigsmile

Nick, why did you just come up with "The Small Faeces~" unprovoked...? scared

Martin K™Aqualion Monday, January 16, 2012 1:54:17 PM

Me and a couple of friends once squatted in an abandoned retirement home. It was a five storey building with a big basement and a huge garden, and it had been abandoned for perhaps ten years. Still tap water and electricity there, though. It was a really scary place at night. Especially the place in the basement where they had this room where they obviously had kept the dead, because there was this mortuary style freezing cabinet. Also, the kitchen area was scary, because for some reason the power was out and it was always dark with big trees outside the windows. On the other hand, the area where we lived was nice and cosey. We later got a deal with the owner, that we could stay there if we took care of the garden. We stayed there for the summer.

FlaRin Monday, January 16, 2012 2:05:32 PM

The previously mentioned hospital that I worked in, at one stage had a firebug, who went around setting stuff alight. I volunteered to patrol at nights, and I can tell you, the sub basement of that hospital had no lights, and there was only 2 of us walking around with torches & walkie-talkies, keeping in touch, checking all the old underground rooms and corridors - fuck it was spooky! Even the occupied wards are a bit weird at night - and some of the locked, secure areas - we shined our torches through the little windows in the locked doors and saw things, deformed alien-looking things about the size of kittens (not kidding), in jars, on shelves <shudder>...man it was creepy.

Martin K™Aqualion Monday, January 16, 2012 2:32:10 PM

One night when I was alone in that big building I got really uneasy. In windy weather there would be this weird howling sound in the roof and that particular night it was like if I could hear other sounds, like muffled voices, under that howling sound. So I took my ghetto blaster and placed it in what had been the hall - the biggest room in the house - and put on Rage Against The Machine at maximum volume. And for some reason it sort of got rid of the weirdness.

FlaRin Monday, January 16, 2012 3:09:47 PM

I must admit that although I'm a fairly realistic type, I do have the psychic curse and I would be *very* hesitant to spend time alone in a place like that, especially at night. The music fills your 'mental receptors' up (i m o, not being able to scientifically 'prove' anything at all, not that I feel the need to) and the other stuff, by it's more tenuous nature, is much harder to perceive (or easier to ignore, whichever way you wish think about it).

Martin K™Aqualion Monday, January 16, 2012 3:28:21 PM

I am a fairly realistic type too, but I have had quite a few experiences of the straight up paranormal sort, so I just have to accept that these things do exist. Doesn't scare me, though. I get uneasy some times, but not really scared, like panic scared with heart beating and perspiration and such. Just a slightly creepy feeling, that's all. Normal events are far more scaring if you ask me. The most scary thing I have experienced was a 'head' that came out of a wall of a place where I used to live. That was genuine horror movie stuff and it made me leave the place at once to never come back.

nervous

FlaRin Monday, January 16, 2012 4:10:00 PM

Yeah, I can believe that. There's a house I know (in NZ) where something very bad happened some time ago (20th century, maybe 60s or 70s), and I am aquainted with someone who rented it for a while.

Pictures on the wall would move, she would hear a voice threatening her, it drove her out through pure fear. I and others of the same...ummm... 'nature' would not want to look at the house when we passed by, because we could feel it. Bloody nasty. You don't want to invite something like that out.

Also, there are places. You know what I mean? There's a place I know called 'blood hill' (it's Maori name) and many people have been killed, murdered, committed suicide on it - it continues to happen. It's so spooky (literally). The Maoris especially don't go there, I think it's what they call 'Tapu', and is cursed. Lots of cultures accept 'the supernatural' as an everyday fact of life, accompanying us and what we do. I don't think western culture is in fact cultured enough to dismiss it - 'we' (the generalization, you know what I'm trying to say) are just (perhaps wilfully) ignorant, that's all smile

Darkogdare Monday, January 16, 2012 4:23:52 PM

Martin and FlaRin, your stories reminded me on a movie I've seen long time ago, Jacob's Ladder, very disturbing one scared

Martin K™Aqualion Monday, January 16, 2012 4:53:39 PM

Well, as mentioned I'm not easily scared. Never was. Not even as a kid. I have no psychic skills or anything, so fortunately I am not 'tuned in' to such stuff. During the mid-nineties I had three near-dead experiences and after the last one, nothing really scares me anymore. For some reason or the other these episodes changed something inside me on a subconscious level... I'm not sure how or why. I was 'somewhere' and came back again. I have very precise memories. I guess those experiences were so extremely scary (which they definitely were) that no thing can really upset me compared to that. Going to Hell and back will do that to you, I guess.

I know what you mean, Fla.

The mentioned building had power and water, but no heating. That is, the electric circuits were corroded and the flow was not steady at all, but we lived there in the summer, so it was okay. The owner was some kind of foundation, and apparently the building was supposed to stay in order for business to continue at some point. We got some electric heaters and put them up in the rooms where we slept. And stayed there without paying rent for the summer. The deal was we should fix the garden while we where there and do something about the vermin (mostly rats and gophers) which we did. We actually managed to clean up the place, also inside. The woman who represented the owner was actually very surprised and we got this very nice letter from the management.

There was not much of interest to looters in this building, except some ancient appliances (freezers and ovens and such) that were monster-heavy. There was an entire room in the basement where they had put all the old office equipment, mostly phones, in a big heap on the floor. When we came, there were traces of other squatters having stayed there before us. It was situated a good two miles outside city limits in an area where there was not much going on. Addicts and looters mostly stay in town. They later restored it and it is now a hotel, actually. Very luxurious. Sort of like a health resort or something. Perhaps the ghost voices still sing at night, adding authenticity to your spa experience. wink

Not skills, definitely a curse.

For ever, or at least a very long time. No - I correct myself - for all intents and purposes, forever.

It's not a skill, Lion - and you don't want it. Believe me on this (although I suspect perhaps you already do).

\\edit : by 'see' I mean...ummm...'re-living', like you were there, and continue to be there, accompanied by a sickening sinking feeling in the stomach.....it's kinda maybe like walking into a force field...the more I try to explain the harder it is to explain.

Suffice it to say that it is not hidden, it is alive and it continues to occur. A revolving door. That's about it. Thank you.

\\another edit : I said "...continues to occur..." Sorry. Wrong choice of words. "...doesn't go away..." would be a better way of putting it. It happened, it doesn't un-happen.

I know several people who have 'an open mind' like you, Fla. One of them was a very silent gipsy-like young woman I met at a seminar late nineties, who was haunted by her unborn child. She was pregnant in the terminal phase, and she 'saw' and 'heard' her yet to be born baby around the house,screaming in anger and with an aggressive attitude. Horror film like!

The World's a weird place...

FlaRin Wednesday, January 18, 2012 5:45:20 PM

It is indeed. But : it's not like that *all* the time - it happens in different ways to different people. A lot of people see ghosts...my daughter sees\senses not only dead people, but also (dead) cats, dogs, mice, rats, prehistoric things crawling up the walls - she's as normal otherwise as any other 15 year old...but I don't envy her that perception. I don't see ghosts at all, never have.

Different people (who are 'open' - nicely put, I must say) see or perceive different things, not everyone 'does' the same stuff - it's very interesting, actually smile

Martin K™Aqualion Wednesday, January 18, 2012 8:20:33 PM

I've never seen ghosts but I have, as suggested, seen a couple of really weird unexplainable things in my time. In a period of some years I had a shadowy animal-like figure following me. Not every day but sometimes. It would follow me in dark places. Always in the corner of my eye, if you know what I mean. Every time I would focus on it, it would sort of dissolve. It was about the size of a dog, but it had no clear definition. My son experienced something the same, only this was an upright, antropomorph figure, standing in the street outside his home late at night. Equally blurry. None of us are otherwise 'open' and we share a sceptic view on such matters, but we simply can't dismiss it, because... Well, we know, don't we? It would be like denying the water is wet.

The reason is that your mind is trying to interpret something it doesn't know how to perceive. It's like trying to taste with your eyes or see with your ears; possible if improbable but nothing like being able to taste with a tongue and see with eyes. As the senses take in the energy signature of the presence, the mind chooses how to interpret that energy signature. The ghost of a little girl who died in the 70s may be seen as a contemporary little girl (usually occurring in a setting where children wouldn't be out of place and are almost expected), a child from hundreds of years ago (for those who almost expect all ghosts to be from Victorian times and wear pinafore dresses while speaking like the cast of My Fair Lady) or even just a feeling of uncommon broodiness, playfulness or simple loss (for those who resolutely don't allow themselves to believe in such things).

Back in my late teens/early twenties, some friends and I tried playing with the whole ouija board thing. Couldn't get it to work, though. The planchette moved rapidly under our fingers, but only went to two letters: 'O' and 'G'. Couldn't figure it out ... until we realized it was continuously spelling "GO". As soon as we realized what it was saying, it went off the board and that was it.

What makes you think one's mind doesn't know how to percieve this, Mik? Is that a generalisation, made with experience, or a guess? :interested:

Martin K™Aqualion Thursday, January 19, 2012 8:23:07 AM

I read somewhere, that when our senses receive input that does not make sense in a conventional way, that is not recognizable within the range of the ordinary, rational average, our mind will sort of 'fill out' the blank cross word squares with something familiar. It's sort of like when I write "3L3V3N", and you all automatically read "ELEVEN". "3L3V3N" doesn't mean anything, but because our minds will pursue sense even in senseless input, it becomes a recognizable term. This spawns the theory that some "paranormal" encounters really are mind's reaction on incomputable input. Bottom line: it is all in the mind.

Then there is the cultural theory.

There's this educational story about an isolated fisher village at a North Sea coast. One day a guy comes along who knows the tide charts. The people of the village are perplexed by the powers of this guy. He seems to have the ability to predict the movements of the sea - upon which the entire village depends. Over the years the supposed powers of the guy grows in local folklore, and within some years he becomes known as Master of The Sea. Superstition assigns him with additional powers: people expect from him the ability to not only predict but control the waves, and when he denies them, they become frustrated. And when he fails to predict a mighty storm that shipwrecks and kills a great number of fishermen, they finally lynch him and shun his posthumous legacy: the knowledge of the tide charts becomes taboo to the villagers.

This story is a methaphorical lesson as to how it can go when mind strives to comprehend things that does not fit into the range of 'reality' within a certain culture.

Over the last 300 years humanity has gained more and more knowledge about the sea. Before that we interpreted the forces of nature as the work of gods or invisible entities, we even worshipped and communicated with them.

Who says we were wrong? Perhaps our minds misinterpret science. Who knows? I, for one, believe that things got lost that should not have been lost, and we would do ourselves a favour by trying to retrieve those lost tide charts.

FlaRin Thursday, January 19, 2012 12:01:00 PM

They are not entirely lost. To continue the theme, there are a few people who understand the interactions between moon and tide, and indeed are able to perceive, observe and in a way, even interact with the sea creatures who come to the surface.

And some 'events' (those which generate strong emotions, as an example) do not *just* become history : pebbles thrown into the pond sink, true, but they do generate waves, ripples and commotion which persists and is perceptible to those who's eyes are not closed. So to speak. This is not a talent, it is 'another sense' that many (most ?) probably have but do not recognise and thus ignore...it's not 'mind reading', it is listening, and seeing with (and I hesitate to say this, but...) the mind's eye. And sometimes you can't switch it off, basically.

I realise that my credibility is somewhat at risk here - I only say all this because I'm amongst friends, and I have no need or desire to prove anything. It's impossible in a forum like this - how does a deaf & blind man (dis)prove that another man hears and sees?

But. There are a fair number of people out there who 'can', but they don't talk much about it, because usually (on TV etc.etc.) it's bollocks...although there are one or two genuine interpreters on TV...it's just that you'll probably find the people who 'can' don't, won't do it for money. Those who can, do - and simply shut up about it, as a rule. But if you 'can', you'll probably be able to find a circle of others who can, too.

Each for his own science, I say. It's all messed up in my mind: science, pseudo-science, para-science, nuclear science, quantom physics, neurology, medicine, religions gallore, prophets, wise men, wizards, sorcerers, bloggers. I am looking for the tide charts myself and have been for quite some time by now. You see, I lost them in the last village. I was selling snake oil to the local peasants, and they got upset because I overdid the laxertives in the recipe. I had to flee and left everything behind, including those handy tide charts.

Can I have some new ones, please?flirt

FlaRin Thursday, January 19, 2012 4:58:56 PM

Well, the point is that science is only reliable about what it can prove, not what it can't prove. If it can't be proven with current techniques & technology, doesn't mean to say it's not real.

For me and a number of other people I know (and for sure, many many more) psi and whatever you wish to call these and related abilities are facts of daily life, and often upsetting and disturbing. It's not fun.

I know good, true, sound and sober Catholics who see and accept 'ghosts' regularly, often recognizing the same ones (although not knowing who the are). They (the 'ghosts')travel certain routes, and if your house is built on such a 'path', they will pass through your house on their way to and from <wherever it is>. Also, in many cases, they seem to be tethered in some way to an individual - who may move house and yet later on see the same figures passing through the living room of the new house, through the wall and away. 'They' don't necessarily see any of us at all, just like most of us don't see them. I can assure you that this is an accepted and acknowledged fact of life for many in places like rural and semi rural NZ (just for example, although this was similarly the case when I lived in UK too), not only amongst Maori (who have their own form of exorcism) but amongst Pakeha (white folks) as well.

Obviously there's the same amount of scepticism in others there too, which is all good as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't be talking about this at work, a normal dinner party or in the pub, for sure - but here it's like talking from behind a curtain, so I'm not so self-conscious about it, or worried about being considered a lunatic lol

Dark FurieFurie Thursday, January 19, 2012 5:24:36 PM

Of course it's not fun. Being open to such things is never what I'd describe as fun, especially as others aren't open to it and therefore don't understand why you're having the reactions that you're having to stimuli they can't experience (at least in the same way). It's like being forced to watch reality television all the time and no-one else even knows it's on.

You'd like me. I'm a psychic null point - the equivalent of a CD full of static. Scared the shite out of a friend who had aura sight due to that, but we figured it out eventually. wink

Thank you. Although it's not all pervasive....for me (I can only talk about my..err...perceptive abilities), I often never find out what 'that feeling' was about, although all too often it later turns out that a friend died, a friend's daughter was attacked, something somewhere happening to someone connected somehow emotionally to me.

I can walk into a room and that reality TV turns on though, if something's happened. And fuck, believe me, I wish it didn't. But there you go. You learn to live with it.

There's more, touching someone a thousand miles away, flying a wasp into an enemy's ear - all sorts of stuff that isn't often spoken about outside the circle, so to speak.

Don't ask me to explain (well, you can, but...) - I can't, with any scientific meaning. Subjectivity, yes, even objectivity, but it's only my perception....I don't see ghosts, can't hear the old, long dead family members gathering because something - a birth, a death - is about to happen. I know people who are like that, though. Check your family history with some attention to detail and see how many births, marriages and deaths have the same date. You might be surprised (then again, you might not, I dunno). There's more going on than is visible to the naked eye.

I probably would like you :laughs like Vincent Price:

There are older truths than the ones science can provide. About the World. About us. And about The Others as well. To seek and find refuge in, for those who are cursed and those who are blessed.
