Statuesque

Published on January 30, 2008 in Journal posts. 1 Comment

I’m diggin’ the cheesy photos. Not sure why. I suppose there’s a part of me who enjoys being mortal sometimes. While it’s fun and fulfilling being an immortal, sublime Goddess, there’s something free-spirited about letting go of all the responsibilities. As with Superman, with great power comes great responsibility. Every Goddess I’ve ever met admits she has many duties and obligations. A princess, on the other hand, is free from all responsibilities - or so the crowd believes. I’m far too much a Goddess than a princess. There’s so much I always feel I need to do, hence the love of cheesy photos where I get to let go (temporarily) of all responsibilities. Something always needs to be accomplished. There’s always a task waiting to be completed. Even the Queen of England, in all her glory, lives with so many responsibilities, it’s amazing she has time for herself.

Here I am, basking in the essence of liberty and freedom at the Empire State Building, NYC. Long live Goddess freedom!

Early Christmas

It never ceases to amaze me how many kind people there are out there. Seriously. I understand that in my line of work, many slaves secretly hope that their Goddesses will demand them to send gifts for the holidays. But I won’t do that simply because slaves will only give if they WANT to give. I find it so much pleasurable to receive a gift knowing it came out of the kindness of their hearts (and not because of greedy commands). LOL it is kind of funny that people STILL send me gifts cause of the Siren video I made, but honestly I made it as a joke and didn’t expect people to buy me anything.

I’m blessed beyond belief, not just because of the outpouring of presents I’ve received over the past 4-5 years, but because people have done it so generously. Some people sent gifts when they couldn’t afford it and it’s an honor to even be remembered when bills are behind. I understand that not everyone has money. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I grew up extremely poor. Not a day goes by where I don’t treasure the life I live. All these material things are nice for the short-term, but the long-term are the PEOPLE who make the difference. Those of you who have sent gifts, no matter how great or small, have made a difference in my life. It doesn’t even matter to me the value of the item purchased, it’s the token of appreciation behind the offering.

This year, I ask that if you don’t have money to buy a gift for me (or for another Goddess), then please at least donate what you can to your favorite charity. It breaks my heart to watch other families not have anything for Christmas when I’ve been blessed with far more than I can handle. I mean - who needs 4 different color mascaras? I’m grateful, don’t get me wrong, it’s just mindboggling that I receive so much more than I could possibly use.

Every time I go to update my wishlist, I struggle to think of new items I want. I really, truly have everything I could ever need or want. I’m quite tempted to remove my wishlist after Christmas because I feel I’ve reached a place in my life where material possessions aren’t as important as they used to be. I’d much rather concentrate on relationships and personal social growth so I can impact the lives of people around me.

However, I understand that there are those who sincerely love buying me gifts because they love to give me things that will make a long, lasting impression (such as a necklace I can wear 50 years from now). That’s pretty much the only reason I’ve chosen to leave the wishlist up for the time being. If you wish to give, feel free to do so. All I ask is that you only give if you WANT to, not because you feel you have to fulfill an obligation as a slave or friend to fill the Christmas quota. And if you have no money but want to give something non-monetary, then here is an alternative present I would like. Advertise what you think about me on the net, whether it be starting a blog and talking about me, linking to my website, talking about me on a forum or your myspace page, anything where you can talk about me word-of-mouth is just as wonderful (if not better) than receiving material things.

Would you like me to be really happy this christmas? Share your hypnotic experiences with the world so that others will feel compelled to listen to my hypnosis recordings.

First of all I want to thank everyone who commented in my previous entry, I haven’t responded to anyone but it means a lot that you all were so encouraging and offered such wonderful advice. I truly appreciate it.

I successfully completed was my first day of eating vegan food for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks! I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I even ate a slice of vegan chocolate cake and a yummy brownie with ice cream. I had no idea that stuff like that could be made without milk and sugar. How cool! And so delicious! And I’ve never been a big fan of soy, but for some reason - everything soy I ate today was scrumptious. It was like I *wanted* to like it, so I did. I even ate my first tofu sandwich. Now keep in mind - I’m the same girl who spit tofu out of my mouth a year ago because I mistook it for styrofoam. Wow was I wrong. That shit is good. Anyway I did have an interesting craving for milk when I ate the brownie (gotta have milk when eating cookies or brownies), however, I downed a glass of soy milk and it filled the craving nicely. I wasn’t sure what soy milk to buy, so I bought 5 types: plain, vanilla, chocolate, egg nog, and unsweetened. So far I like the plain, chocolate, and egg nog. I haven’t tried the others yet.

I must admit, I spent far more on this food than any food in the past. My grocery bill ended up running over $500. But then again, I bought even things like vegan condiments and stuff cause I completely threw out everything else. And the stuff I *haven’t* thrown out yet are in bags for Jenny to get when she comes over. I’m also trying to lower my sugar intake (and that includes aspartame, high-fructose syrup, and a ton of others) so my body can get rid of all the bad toxins and stuff.

The energy I felt today was out of this world. Seriously. I wanted to get up and move! The last week or so, I’ve been kind of lethargic and haven’t worked out or anything (which is highly unlike me) but today was insane! I just HAD to exercise. So instead of working out in the gym, I did unplanned activity by hanging up christmas lights all over the house. I even hung up a beautiful wreath with lights on the front door and put about a dozen lit candy canes along the edge of the sidewalk. I still have many more things to put outside, like snowflake lights, and I still have yet to line the staircase with white lights. But I’ll do that later. Here are some photos so you can see how it turned out.

Can you see John Holmes the Porn Cat camouflaged in two of the photos? (Hint: He’s actually in the same spot in two photos)
