Cover Your Ears, Close Your Eyes


It All Comes As No Surprise

NOTE: This post leans heavily on New Age crap and its relevance to my personal thought system, hence the title and this convenient warning. Before you ask: yes, Christ figures in my beliefs and no, this post is not religious or recruitive in nature so stop having a damn heart attack already.

Stolen from my number one lurkette ;^)

You are Form 1, Goddess: The Creator.

"And The Goddess planted the acorn of life.
She cried a single tear and shed a single drop
of blood upon the earth where she buried it.
From her blood and tear, the acorn grew into
the world."


Some examples of the Goddess Form are Gaia (Greek),
Jehova (Christian), and Brahma (Indian).
The Goddess is associated with the concept of
creation, the number 1, and the element of
earth.
Her sign is the dawn sun.

As a member of Form 1, you are a charismatic
individual and people are drawn to you.
Although sometimes you may seem emotionally
distant, you are deeply in tune with other
people's feelings and have tremendous empathy.
Sometimes you have a tendency to neglect your
own self. Goddesses are the best friends to
have because they're always willing to help.


Which Mythological Form Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

*Spine tingles*. I had a dream of the number one, ages ago.

I was ten. It was some kind of nightmare--weeping, screaming, torture, the sense and feeling of earth, stone, cold as death. The death, the cold and the wrongdoing were directly part of this massive granite or marble representation of the number one. Someone howled out for help and I bolted awake, still screaming.

I remember because it was the weirdest, most terrifying dream I've ever had. It gave me a full-blown panic attack in the waking world. I've looked through dream dictionaries for years and found nothing but positive associations for the number one, and it's never come up in my dreams again.

No, I take that back. I saw One a few months ago, associated with Shang Tsung. The Magician. Which I know because that association has happened before--in my personal world, in dreams, Shang Tsung is always the Magician. Whatever that means. It probably means nothing in the larger world of New Age stuff. I know my Carl Jung, though, and I like to pretend that I know myself ;^)

HO-LY hell. One is the value given the Magician card in tarot. (I just looked that up, less than a minute ago, courtesy of the beautiful Internet to which I am addicted. Previously the concepts were not related, except in my world.)

And I know my associations are not directly based on tarot, because A) I don't know enough about it, B) I've never dreamed numbers except for zero and one (no, not in a Matrix context ;^p) and C) In my dreams, 0 is Shao Kahn, the Emperor.

F*CK that is weird O_O

One is supposedly that second note, just after zero, and the first action. Primacy. Red. Tribe. Home. Earth. One. One. One.

One is the killer of Smith. One is the bringer of chaos. One is the instrument of rebellion. One is blind. One is only the beginning, always beginning, always the start and never the finish. Thoughtless.

Not all magicians' tricks are good.

I did try to warn you. I'm bizarre. Fandreams and theft of the archetypes of the characters by my subconscious are the order of the day.

For the curious. No, actually, for me, and for poor passerby to gawk at:

(Again, they're my personal associations, probably not "correct" to the larger theories of whatever...These were what they looked like, sounded like, or were drawn to. And the really desperately pathetic part is, they've all appeared in my dreams.)

Sonya is the Empress. Kitana is the Priestess. Mileena is the Moon, the Tower, or the Hanged Man. Smith is Judgement. Neo--poor Neo, I only dreamed him once--is the Devil.

Baraka is the Heirophant. He's actually a revision of a character I've dreamed all my life--a wanderer priest in red, with bare and bleeding feet, leaning on an iron staff. He had a name and nation all his own, before Baraka took him over. He's cooler as Baraka, though. ^_~

Jheti's Random Smartass Advice For The Day: You can do anything you set your mind to--so watch what you think about ;^D

Anyway, sorry for the madness; I love you all *^_^*

The Triumph of the Earrings


Matrix: Observations

I saw Revolutions this morning. Preview screening. Wouldn't have gotten in without mom's boss' help. One of like, fifteen people, most of whom were critics. *Preens.*

How was it?

Well, I loved it.

And I won't say anything more, beyond, "The Oracle's earrings were so so so SO gorgeous!" *^_~*

You'll have to see it. I won't give you spoilers. Except to say that they cut the boring speech stuff in half, and/or peppered it with enough ass-kicking in between that it came out great ^_^

And Smith. And Smith and Smith and Smith and Smith. Were all there. But all it took was one.

And--no, really, I'll shut up now. ^^;

I know how to end Downpour now, how to make it stand up on its own, without spoiling for Revolutions, since it's based off the trailer. I just couldn't feel comfortable with it until I saw The Fight. But, having seen The Fight, I can now finish my ficlet off properly.

Definitely AU. But then, all Neo/Smith is AU >^D

Just the ending, since I just now came up with it...

It's clean ;^D

"Neo--you...promised." The word was a long low hiss between bloodied teeth. "You...promised me..." Smith lashed out, hammer-handed. He would destroy this man, this troublesome shining creature that told only lies and spread only chaos.

He smirked. What use was One against a thousand?

Thomas--Neo--moved without moving, dodged without avoiding the blow. His hands came up, pale as wings against his dark coat, and trapped Smith's fists.

"It ends tonight."

Smith growled and tore his hands free, and the rain came crashing down.

"So be it, Mr. Anderson."

#END#


Seeya, peeps. I'll be around. Look me up sometime ;^)
