The Seven Day Luck Spell

This is a spell to help break through obstacles and bring you luck in your endeavors. It's relatively easy, as yet untested by yours truly, but I'll let you know if it works out.

Items you'll need:

~ A black seven-day candle

~ Water

~ A saucer

~ Paper

(note: modifications can be made, ex: color of candle depending on what you want, quality of paper, color of ink used to write on paper, etc.)

Directions:

1. Put some water in your saucer (not overflowing, but enough to drown a piece of paper)

2. On a piece of paper, write what you desire (ex: money, love, etc.)

3. Fold up your paper and place it in the water

4. Put your seven-day candle on top of the paper and light it

5. Each night before you go to sleep visualize your desire being obtained while lighting the candle. Let it burn for a while, meditating on your desire. Try visualizing ways to make it come true, or let your mind wander (thus letting the energies of the world guide your mind)

6. On the seventh day, dispose of the candle by getting it away from your property

7. This spell can be modified (as stated earlier). A black candle is used for breaking through obstacles preventing you from your desire.

aaaaah

I'm at this retreat center in Sonoma right now and I'm supposed to be working on my college essay, but I don't really feel like it. So instead, I will find something random and glorious and post it here.

Well, this video is a parody of Twilight, but I can't embed it, so if you want to watch it click this link right here and press play.

It's amazing.

3 Awsome Things (July)

The Impossible Quiz: (n) A series of questions and obstacles that are completely random and often very difficult to answer. The series of questions is so long and difficult that it has been dubbed impossible to complete. I myself have only gotten to Question 72 thus far. Try it, become addicted, and then become my minion so that I may laugh at you.

MUAHAHAHA

It Had to Be You: (n) A song by the band Motion City Soundtrack that I absolutely LOVE. My favorite line is "Let's fight crime with mangoes and limes and join the PGA." You don't need to love the song as much as I do. I'm totally cool with that.

Hair Dye: (n) A special sort of substance that changes the color of one's hair. For the best results, I suggest that one bleaches one's hair first, unless one is blond, in which case one's hair is already light enough for the dye to have an effect.

Yeah, my hair has purple streaks now. This actually happened a couple weeks ago thanks to a certain Kenneth Lee. I'll have to find a picture that captures the amazingness of my hair...

(this is totally what I look like now. except not.)

Hmmm...

I am in Iowa at the moment, taking a class on blogging... I find this is deeply satisfying. See, I'm here at an intense writing camp for teenagers (bragging point: over 400 people applied, only 120 were accepted to 2 summer sessions. fuck yes I'm special!). It's called the University of Iowa Young Writer's Studio. If writing dost interest thou, thy humble messenger urges thee to apply for next summer. It's great because there are people from all over the US who have the same interests. Seriously, I sit in the halls/lounge-place-thing and everyone's talking about all these highly intellectual authors and I'm sitting there, thinking, 'Gawd dayum, I need to catch up on my intelligent reading!' But it's great. Check it out, see if you want to come to Iowa City for some creative glory. If you join our little cult, you won't regret it. We won't let you :)

(yes, that is me with the square head. I shant explain...)

Some Advice...

Here's a tip for all juniors who are becoming seniors: START YOUR COLLEGE ESSAYS EARLY!!  I'm doing it and so should you.  Imagine, if you start NOW while you have long days of doing NOTHING then you can be done with the most stressful part of college apps.  I remember last year's senior class Freaking Out with capital FO because they started they're essays late.  The other college application stuff is just tedious paperwork, but the essay is UBER difficult because you're supposed to write an essay about YOU.  So, this summer while you have nothing better to do, write an essay about yourself and have people help you out while you're at it.  Come November, you'll breathe just a little easier knowing you've already done the hard stuff.

3 Awesome Things (June)

Summer: (n) 1. The warmest season of the year, falling between spring and autumn. It runs from June to August in the northern hemisphere and from December to February in the southern hemisphere 2. A period of greatest happiness, success, or fulfillment in the life of somebody or something (1)

Summer is technically here now, but alas, Marin weather hath been a tad moody this past season. Only this morning 'twas foggy and cold in Mill Valley and San Anselmo, however the day cleared up and the sun broke through the clouds for the afternoon. 'Twas lovely indeed.

(2)

Penguin: (n) An upright web-footed seabird with contrasting black and white feathers that cannot fly but uses its flipper-shaped wings for swimming. Native to: cold regions of the southern hemisphere (1)

Penguins are just cute and cuddly and they can't fly but they do their flying in the water man. Have you ever seen a penguin swim? Neither have I, but I've seen videos and it's awesome!! I know penguins don't really go with summer, but that's okay. They still rock some socks.

(3)

Balloon: (n) 1. A small colored bag made of thin rubber or plastic that is inflated with air or helium and used as a toy or decoration 2. An extremely large bag filled with a lighter-than-air gas and used as a form of air transport, carrying passengers or equipment in a suspended basket or gondola 3. A glass with a large rounded bowl, used for drinking brandy (1)

Balloons are colorful and if you inhale the helium your voice goes all high and you sound like a chipmunk would sound if chipmunks could talk... And then there are those clowns that can take a balloon and turn it into a dog. That's perty nifty if you ask me. Though clowns are kinda scary... (o.0)
