In Norse Mythology the World Tree, Yggdrasil, is the center of the nine worlds

I am adventuring in a far away land, and my heart is no longer here nor there, materially in one place, spiritually in another - It now finds its home in cyberspace, inextricably bound to the World Tree, whereby it may remain connected to every world in which I have ever lived. Let our minds leave our private worlds, let our thoughts, ideas and experiences course freely through the roots and branches of Yggdrasil where they may be shared and united.


"An Ash I know, Yggdrasil its name,With water white
is the great tree wet; Thence come the dews
that fall in the dales, Green by Urth's well does it ever grow.
Thence come the maidens
mighty in wisdom, Three from the dwelling
down 'neath the tree; Urth is one named,
Verthandi the next,--On the wood they scored,--
and Skuld the third. Laws they made there, and life allotted
To the sons of men, and set their fates."

- From the "Voluspo" in the Edda of Snorri Sturleson

YAY! I HAVE A ROOMMATE!!

Her name is Mary, and she is Irene's brother's landlord's sister.

We hadn't met yet, when she called me Friday night. We made plans to meet at Starbucks on Sunday afternoon to, i guess interview each other, is the best way of putting it.

She's on time, i'm a bit late cuz i got lost-ish...hehe...i told her that was a very accurate first impression of me. She didn't seem phased.

She is 23 yrs old, from the East coast, and was in the Airforce for a year. Was discharged for medical reasons, but has every intention of going back to active duty. Comes from a family of six and has been living with her (married) older brother for the 8 mo's since she was discharged, and is SO eager to move out.

With very close cut brown hair, clad in a white button down collared shirt, dark jeans and a leather jacket, she seemed a bit formidable (albeit shorter than myself, but sometimes shorter people are scarier) . . .until I noticed the very dangly silver/purple earrings, a small coffee stain on the front of her blouse, and a faint nicotene aroma... Then I knew there was some fun in there =)

Mary is a serious sort of person, yeah, choleric for sure, but very approachable and considerate. We had a good, long chat about compatibility, and i think it's really gonna work. She doesn't bull shit and she's a good communicator (which i'd say is the MOST important thing) we spent alot of time telling each other horror stories about our previous roommate disasters and were happy to discover many areas of compatibility, and the one that i would have to say sold me, was that she goes through heavy metal phases, loves bohemian/eastern decor, candles and Loreena McKennit.

What more could i want?

So, tomorrow afternoon we begin our quest to find our new home =)

Thankyou, St Joseph!

Geoff said...

She sounds nice enough and it sounds like she could shoot the bad guys for you.

Just don't be TOO nice will ya Anna, no good deed goes unpunished.

mags said...

Ha ha! Did you just see that movie recently too, Geoff?

Gee whiz, Anna, a wee bit observative and analyzing, aren't we? Poor Mary. I hope she survives the experience. Remind ME never to go on a date with you again.
No seriously, glad you found a roommate. And what movie does that come from..."no good deed goes unpunished"?

mags said...

I forget what it's called, but it's about the paranormal guy who can see his own future up to two minutes ahead of time that saves the world from some nuclear attack or something. They use it numerous times in there. But upon looking into it a bit, it would seem that it's a fairly common saying. Uh, oops, I guess?

anna said...

i was gonna say, "No good deed" is also one of the songs in "Wicked".

And, no, i won't be too nice, i'll try to be me.
...she won't know what hit her..bwahahaha!
