( The three classical states of matter )

Turn of Events

It's very strange how all of the work I did over the past 6 months has managed to come to fruition by me actually being able to apply my own lessons learned to help others around me.

The most interesting aspect of this is how differently I'm approaching the helping mechanism. It used to be I would assume that I knew all the answers and that I knew what others' motivations and thoughts were. Now I'm a bit more careful to understand that all I can see are similarities, and all I can talk about are things that worked for me or those involved in the situations with me. It doesn't mean that what worked for us will work for someone else, but they do provide a hefty amount of food for thought to those working through their own issues.

I've also fully implemented the mantra: I can't help you, but I can help you help yourself.

Ah, youth, and such

Tom, Mike, and John were talking in the living room, and it was obvious that they had hit an impasse.

After hearing something about electrical tape I jumped in.
Yelling from my bedroom: "What are you guys trying to figure out in there?"

Tom: "They're hoping they might see some fetish people at Panoptikon tonight."

Me: "The answer is yes."

Note to anyone going to Panoptikon tonight: newbies incoming. Show 'em a good time.

I guess I should have actually answered that, "The answer is, yes, Mistress."
