i suck

here i goofed it all up. i was way emotional for that phone call , which i'm sure he didn't like. but was i so bad? i mean i had an edge, and i said many things, in fact i wasn't just upset or whiny or mad, you couldn't classify me as any of these things. i was in disbelief, i was in shock. but i created shock. i'm so lame, why am i so lame? some would say "if he were into you he would have called or called after the fact" but i don't think so , i think i could have just totally loosed up this fragile thing, i think i smashed it. i wrote the day that i flipped out, on my wall, on the cardboard on my wall where i write things. i wrote "I had to smash it." and that's what happened in that moment. i had to go head into this terrible feeling that feeling of being stranded and confront him. i read it all wrong to mean he was totally dissing me when he was just spaced out. which is still not a good thing, but it was way less Deliberate than i thought. it's hard for me to tell if this was a God thing or not. i mean, he had a lot of the specific things i had prayed for. i would have been so willing to check things out with him, to try with this person though he was a little rough around the edges, but that didn't scare me. i scared him away! oh no i'm such a freak.
i bet he thinks i was assuming all this belonging, i think i was just as skeptical as he was, its just that that whole not calling thing really rubbed me the wrong way this time, really insulted me. i have learned to do those things one is supposed to do and wait.
when i look back on my first post, i see that I wrote about how i liked that "he was so there, when i turn around he's just there." and i got this in presence reassurance and support and backing. why did that all go away, so far away in the week that stretched? he went from warm and surrounding to cold, out , peace. he probably just got all into his thing, his work mode in san mateo where he works. but to me it speaks what Carey said on "Sex and the City" it said to me, once again, "he's just not that into you." and i tell you, i'm used to that, and it kinda sucks. it's this saggy useless undesirable blah feeling.
And why am i not demanding someone who is capable of responding? i don't need a four day delay, the president already did that last week. i need someone who just checks in. who has some window of remembering. but maybe i was, in fact i'm sure i was way too hard on him.

Hey friend,

i am actually not a pagan christian - so on one hand i am glad i came
across as such (hopefully conveying that i have an open mind). On the
other hand, i would be terribly crushed if i came across deceptive in
any
way - leading you to believe i was a pagan christian. Of course, if by
pagan christian you mean a christian who loves and respects pagans,
even
though i don't agree with their world-view(s), then that's cool. i go
to
great lengths not to be deceptive and to let people know where i stand
when
they ask me so please let me know if i was deceptive.

I will definitely check out on comment on "Harth." I think your
participation in our circle and cross discussion list (though you may
want
to create a separate e-mail account to use on the discussion list)
would be
invaluable.

Lots of love in Him,

mike

Molly-love, stop being so hard on yourself--you do NOT suck. And I say "Amen!" to what Amber said. (and i do have a boob. :] )

Molly said...

Thank you my people! I love you guys, with boobs or without boobs!
i'm feeling better today.
this whole thing i'm tieing it to whatever droopy and beautiful and unfair cloud and letting it pass by. and i'm trying to say "OK God, this must be for good speed. I'll let you send me something better! it's all You!" somebody where i don't have to be nervous about the piles of uh-ohs, and yes it would be so grand to have somebody who loves the JC, that IS what i really want and i should stick to it."
Amber i do picture your boob when i get bummed and then i'm elated and, like, "yAH!"

Mike, no you are not deceptive. let me tell you taht when I first met your blog, I wasn't sure if you were pagan or christian, mostly b/c of a few of the things on the profile like the book "Teen witch" and "Solitary Witch." in fact the lovely Camille was the first to point out yr blog and we were looking over yr profile, the first glimpse left us unsure. but after reading your posts it was apparant that you are christian. so yes, i see rightly that you are a christian with compassion for Pagans, and even that you take it upon yourself to try to understand where they are coming from and articulate what christianity does for you (and would do for anyone). but mostly i really appreciate your comments looking at christianity, then paganism, b/c you understand some of their scene, and so many christians have no hint of understanding of what any of that is about and i find them to just be sort of scared of it all, like they would runaway. and i'm like, it's OK, breathe. they're not scarry, in fact i understand what thery're trying to get at.

Looking over your posts just now, it seems that the dividing thing for you is how it really comes down to tranformation. that being a christian tranforms us inside and out. that are actions and desires change in HIm. that is certainly what has happened and what is happening to me. being the hyper-spiritual accessible thing that I once was, I got to just go with what i already liked. i find that people in just will pick and choose according to their fancy. like, someone will already feel strongly about social justice and peace, so they will go with Tara, the Goddess of peace and compassion let's say. or the guys who smoke pot go with Shiva b/c he dances and he's down with that. or all the people who go with Amma, the living indian "hugging saint" b/c everybody wants a loving mama. but this kind of faith is way too flimsy to me. this is about choosing what you already like/do. but people have to pick many gods and goddesses (demigods) b/c none of them do the full throttle. b/c none of them complete or last or change them. at least not in a lasting way. they all give a dose of one good feeling or realiztion or something. I think MIke you talk about this in an old post, about how pagans are really fundamental about the value of life. and that is a source for their values. but this is an easy value, and you point out where it gets sticky. though i remember you said something interesting in an old post, and i cant find it now, you said that the pagan friends, they experience joy in their beliefs, and you were explaining that anything you would say could not discount that they feel something similar to what you feel with the JC. and it was an interesting discussion that i wanted to continue. maybe you could point that comment out to me.
ok, so here is a shining new email, for extended rants.
check me at:
somesass@hotmail.com
although posting rocks too for this rant.

i guess my thoughts along the lines you mentioned above are along the lines of - perhaps -
those who don’t know jesus “feel” real but aren’t real. The irony is, many times, this jesus
follower (i.e., “me”) doesn’t “feel” real but i am real - in the true God sense of the word
(god with a capital “G”).

another way to put it...

i am not a mair (Ishtari) like gandalf fighting other mair (like Balrogs) but i do seek to
“fight” against the rings of power around the world that beguile others [while bearing the
weight of my own rings (plural)]. “Though [my] weapons are not of flesh and blood...”

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

good god! what an e-mail address! ;-) i certainly
wouldn't have guessed (i may have to invoke my "no
internet adultery filter" soon... ;-) in any case,
you are a dynamic, thoughful writer. i think i will
direct my wife to your blog soon - hopefully it will
inspire her to let me help her start her own.

on thing i might suggest is editing your post where
you gave me your e-mail - i'm sure you don't want just
anyone to have access to it (i feel prviliged... =)

i am sorry you "lost" a recent large post. i've
learned to "save drafts" on e-mail or save to a word
processer and then copy and paste frequesntly the hard
way too.

more later. i'm off to my digital library services
class.

in him,

mike =)
