All change... back to Germany!
As happens every few days... all of my work dates have changed. The present 2-day shift wsa delayed by one day, and now it seems that we will be going straight back to Germany; i.e., no time off in London.

Which is a real shme because I'd still promised to meet loads of people, and now it's all going to be left hanging.

On the upside I'm off to Italy for a mountainous holiday with Mrs Crabtree, which is going to be great.

I will miss London again!
I'll miss the semi-resurgent social life I've had...

In the early part of next year I will know if I am staying in Germany for more years, or if I am returning to (a random area of) the UK.

Mrs Crabtree...
Mrs Crabtree is a good person... she doesn't like being online much. She is independent and wise in a very common-sense, Earthly way. She is wonderfluly ignorant of religion and theology, like an adult implicit atheist. She is independent and strong.

I care about grand concepts, the eternality of thought, change and progress... I am Carl Sagan and the United Nations... Mrs Crabtree is the opposite. She cares about individual people, friends, the stability of peoples' everyday lives, and the importance of living good. She is the unit of the life, I am the overarching theory of life.

My worst point is my misanthropy... her worst point is her stoicism. So, I get bored and socially confused when she talks to about trivial human matters, who-did-what-to-who, etc, and she gets bored and confused when I talk about lofty concepts like democracy, sociology, the big existential questions and the subtleties of Human emotion.

On account of her not being online, I am afraid I either need to think of a 'codename' for her which is more personable than "Mrs Crabtree"... but what? She hasn't liked anything I have thought of, and doesn't care enough to think of anything for herself.

Going mostly offline....
It's been great being more online over the last week... got lots done, chatted to lots of people. But now I'm returning to work, which means I only online some evenings.

In late Jan and Feb I should have a week or two off before moving to a new house & work premises (which will mean disrupted access again!).

See you all around!

New Years' Revolution
I've realized...

Well, first of all I know I have many beautiful, intelligent, amazing and wonderful friends. I've realized that I haven't been grabbing these friends by the balls and pro-actively going out and having good times.

My last years' resolutions, although heartilly inspiring, were not entirely fulfilled, mostly because I've set into stone my new career which is massively more important, but in general I done good.

My single new years' resolution:

Become a model of pro-active energy
Carpe Diem!!


This means carpe diem baby! It means travelling to see my friends instead of leaving it to random events, which, however nice, are not frequent enough. It means making things happen more, instead of slowly seeping my talent into the world methodically and cautiously, I'm going to engage the world with a pro-active embrace, valuing my friends and loved ones as the heart of the Vexen empire; from which stems as always the roots of enlightenment, improvement, progressiveness and stability: Fuelled on love and the search for peace.

This is the end of the gradual-influence, Mr. Nice Guy Vexen, and my Year of Fire, of You Will Hear From Me, especially socially. The problem with Nice Guy Vexen is that you never really knew what I wanted... from now on, from yesterday, I'm immediate, direct, therefore stronger in new ways. Vexen Version Three is dead!

In some ways - personally, inside my life, introvertly, I AM pro-active and energetic... but, the Age of Fire is the age where the world changes and purges and old, traditional, stagnant, barriers break in order to form a world of change and no-messing-around, no chains-of-the-past.

Long live VV4!

Relatives + Special friends
I have *very* limited contact with relatives and family, although we get on, we're all independent and scattered around the UK.

But it *is* nice that some of them are online, and talk to me. And read my websites!

As far as having a stereotypically non-straight image, and being a prominent (in my own little way) and open Satanist, they accept me well, and sometimes sit and talk to me about things honestly and openly. They do know that I am a sorted and stable person, which of course makes it much more likely that they'll accept my eccentric side!

I'm happy to report back to them... let them know I'm doing OK, keep vaguely up to date with how they're going, some of my family have been through very hard times, and the recovery is very slow with many excursions.

First theme: Relatives: Respect, minimalist but mature contat... and acceptence or at least mutual co-existence. I pull of this against-the-odds thing very well in my life!

Special friends with whom I share similar childhood experiences serve to be the most relaxing sources of mutual counsel; and talking with people who understand help yourself understand and accept yourself more fully.

Second theme: Thank you, special friends and lovers, warm souls who help me excersice my demons and keep them at full strength. And to all those laid back friends who simply accept me as I am.

Oh I've lost track and I'm rambling... Live Journal is terrible for making people do that!
