This is my first whine on Live Journal!

I'm moving out of Mauhaus, where I live with Orin, Ia'Kat and Robin, in 3/4 monthes. Although the people are great, the issues of mess, tidiness and health/hygeine that I've been trying to be patient with don't look like they're going to sort themselves out.

I don't mind people leaving things laying around.... but I feel I'm living in a house that Orin and Ia'Kat use to dump their things. Especially Orin! It seems the primary function of the house is to house Orin's endless objects and mess... that I'm just a mug who lives here in order to subsidize the rent whilst taking up only a small space.

Also I don't expect people to clean up after themselves all the time, or to be as pedantic as I am about cleanliness. But Orin can count the amount of times that he's hoovered or washed the surfaces in the kitchen on his hands. This is in 14 monthes! I tried throughout our first house to coach him... .then my hope laid in assuming that when we moved into our second house things would be better. But it appears not to be so... if anything having a bigger house is worse.

I come back from holiday to find the bins overflowing, junk everywhere, the kitchen in a complete tip... I hate whining about it! I don't talk to them about it anymore because I get ashamed of whining all the time; rather than whine or descend into some mother-complex I should move out and see what it's like on my own!

They were asking me about Furry and Satanism today. In a surprising moment Michael, the Technical Director, wanted to know how I combined Satanism and Furry. He reads some of my websites... but I think he never reads long essays. Kieran, the ex-student I am training up, also listened in. I knew Kieran at Hertfordshire Uni, he went to many of the alternative music nights. He's got his brain in the right place, I think.

My response was to explain the "reverence" of animals in Furry... that we admire the way they are, and find that we can learn a very large amount from them. Saint Francis would be my Patron Saint if the position wasn't taken by Satan! Then to explain it in turns of Satanism it was a simple case of saying how Anton LaVey (original Black Pope of the Church of Satan) viewed Human's as being nothing more than animals... no spiritual higher-element... and that a height of intellectual honesty can be found when keeping in touch with your animal side... more in touch with your own emotions, needs. Without the humbling purity of admission of animal passions you can't achieve the emotional honesty required to facilitate your own ascension through life.

Oh that's a whole load of typical Vexen automatic-garbage really!
