  <description>It has been a peaceful weekend at mom and dad&apos;s house. It has snowed the whole time so I took am extra day off for safe travel tomorrow. Really?  I need the extra day just to start feeling normal again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have some snowy pictures on my phone that I should load for facebook. LOL. Very exciting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  -- Post From My iPhone&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Sleepless</title>
  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/88382.html</link>
  <description>What a night. I am sleepless and it sucks. Bad! I don&apos;t feel so terribly alone. As a matter of fact I feel pretty good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I&apos;m awake and it&apos;s way too early to be awake. I feel slightly unwell and my stomach kind of hurts. I&apos;m not going to drink tonight even though it&apos;s New Year&apos;s Eve. I am going to have fun and that&apos;s it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  -- Post From My iPhone&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <description>By the way. The world is going crazy, in case you didn&apos;t know. People are picking up arms and people are dying. Sheesh people. I don&apos;t think the world will ever see eye to eye. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People kills and allies just stand by and do nothing. Amazing. Well I suppose allies are important. But still it won&apos;t be long before we see the world go down in flames. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe stocking up goods isn&apos;t such a terrible idea. Food and water. Or maybe I&apos;m paranoid in my old age. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  -- Post From My iPhone&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Zomg on Gaia Online</title>
  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/87640.html</link>
  <description>This is a pretty fun game. I think it&apos;s the social concept of crewing. I find my tolerance for people is often at a minimum in the evening and some people are annoying and stupid online. I have to deal with idiots at work and I don&apos;t get paid to deal with them at home or online. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s just fun with certain people and not with others. I&apos;m sleepy now. Bed is for sleeping. For sure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  -- Post From My iPhone&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <description>Haha. This is terrible. I like applications a lot and am finding most of my stuff for my iPod touch. Wow. I am more and more mobile and I see where mobile phones are still lacking a lot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Except the iPhone. Getting closer to taking the plunge. Sheesh. LOL.

  <description>The year 2008 was interesting indeed. I am now a supervisor at Verizon. I like it well enough. Feel like this is a good place to be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have gotten rid of Joey. Finally. I am feeling freer. I&apos;ve started playing pool and am hopelessly addicted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have iPod touch. Love this applications thing. Am getting closer to getting an iphone. But I love my touch. Would need to enjoy if more before taking the plunge. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  -- Post From My iPhone&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Contentment in Red</title>
  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/86116.html</link>
  <description>My life. It has become a whirlwind since I started working at Verizon. I have finally embraced my vampiric self. With this understanding, my magic has increased exponentially for the first time ever. I have learned that the decreased flow of subtle-body energy has taught me to compensate by cycling energy within. Though I might be running a quart short, I have extremely refined energy that when sent out during spellwork has an incredible effect. I will spare the details of how I replace the energy expelled. It would frighten those who understand not. But my early experiments in astral travel have paid off in spades. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now work a late-afternoon to evening shift which works well for me. It keeps me up until the quiet hours of night that I need for magic to occur. I have started moving forward and setting events in place to get me moving forward ahead of my peers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have I found my love yet?  No he doesn&apos;t exist and is nowhere on the horizon. And that is okay with me. I have far to go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have become ever more disparaging of humanity at large. But I have learned to temper that with control to gain what I want. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have I become darker in nature?  Yes I have. Am I markedly different since I was actively using this journal?  Yes. At last the true understanding of the self has come through. To those I call friend, I am the most loyal. To all others I am cold and distant, but close enough to keep manipulating circumstances my way. I have no fear for I am in complete control of the future trends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In love, I was recently attracted to someone at Verizon. But after trying to get him to hook up for 2 months, it is apparent he is not ready. He is missing out on a great opportunity. I do not begrudge his attitude; it is merely where he stands in life now. But I do know he has missed out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This coming Tuesday I am going to start the A+ certification class in anticipation of becoming certified. Verizon Wireless is footing the bill. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also switched phones and am the proud happy owner of a Blackberry 8703e. At work I am also getting a yearly bonus on the next paycheck. Its only $400 but that&apos;s good considering I was only working @ Verizon for 2 months last year. I hear others are getting bonuses in the thousands. Mine is actually $740 but after taxes it&apos;ll be about $480. I wasn&apos;t expecting even $200 so that&apos;s a plus. It&apos;s free money!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joey?  Ah yes. My lover and donor. I adore him. He is not wholly mine and I am not wholly his. We have what works and that is fine for now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stratus Phear?  My old band rejected me and was #3 of the items I lost in the shake up of the summer of 2003. I&apos;m glad that those were lost. It helped me move forward from an otherwise stagnant place that was.doomed to produce eventual self-loathing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What shall come?  I do not need to wait and see. I drive forward and bring the opportunities I need. I am in control.</description>

  <title>Changing schedules</title>
  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/85762.html</link>
  <description>Work schedule is changing starting tomorrow.  I show up at 1:00pm and stay til 9:30pm.  I think I&apos;ll enjoy this new schedule because I need to stop the morning thing.  I hate mornings, so early afternoons are going to work so much better for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work at Verizon is going very well and things are as they should be.  I think my new team will be interesting, if not as fun as my previous team at work.  I&apos;ve moved to my new desk which is nice, as it is right next to a large post meaning I have one neighbor on one side.  I&apos;m going to enjoy that a lot, I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waiting for word about Xavier, my new interest.  He seems interested one minute, but he&apos;s pulling off &quot;disinterest&quot; and I&apos;m not sure how to take that.  I know that I&apos;m not interested in chasing him down every day.  We&apos;ll see what happens.  He knows I&apos;m interested, and now he needs to take a few steps, goddamn it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life has changed for much the better, and I feel a lot better walking the path I&apos;m on now vs where I was at.  No longer running myself into the earth and feeling a lot better about where I am on the whole.  I haven&apos;t updated too much here, so my apologies.  I think I&apos;ll keep writing here occasionally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly though?  Deadjournal is... well... dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My new web site obsession: Vampire Rave.com  If you are interested in joining, please use this link!!!!  I get points for referrals.  :)  It&apos;s like MySpace for goth and darkness junkies.  Beware what you find there...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, I&apos;ll post the link on the next update...

  <title>An update</title>
  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/85611.html</link>
  <description>I still am keeping my deadjournal running but for some reason I felt inclined to type an update here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is trucking forwards and I have been at Verizon Wireless since the start of October.  The job is going well and I find myself among more compatible people.  And... I have found someone who finally truly interests me in every way.  We&apos;re supposed to go hang out early this next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is becoming ever more complicated.. :(  But other than that, i suppose it hasn&apos;t gotten any worse at least.</description>

  <title>This is the End</title>
  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/85064.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s a great Door&apos;s song.  I think it&apos;s just called &quot;The End&quot;.  I separated with my band tonight.  It was coming soon because of the going back to school thing.  I&apos;m moving into an aggressive stage of moving forward, and getting rid of the comfortable &quot;in between&quot; trappings I set up for myself is a necessary, if painful step.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My time is ending.  This whole phase of life is ending in time for Samhain and the consequent new beginning.  Gods help me, I hope I am moving in the right direction.</description>

  <title>Deadjournal</title>
  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/84777.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;m debating moving to deadjournal.com.  I&apos;ll still maintain livejournal as a free account so I can check up on my friendy friends... but I have been wanting a deadjournal since... last year?  So I will be moving.  As soon as I get verification and have created the username for deadjournal, the last formal entry in this journal will connect to the deadjournal.  I&apos;m going to try it out first and see what it&apos;s like.  I may decide it really sucks... who knows?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Drea~</description>

  <title>Finally think I have figured out a fix</title>
  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/84716.html</link>
  <description>For my laptop problem:  I need to get a new hard drive (there&apos;s no getting around it).  And I need to also get OS cd&apos;s for Macintosh OSX Panther (10.2).  I should be able to upgrade to 10.3 from the cd&apos;s my brother copied for me, but I need to be able to install it first.  I&apos;m confirming information about that with the Apple discussion boards first, so we&apos;ll see what comes up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I&apos;m on the right track, and if this one is correct, I can do it for about... $120.00 or slightly higher if I want a bigger hard drive...</description>

  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/84238.html</link>
  <description>ok, and so one of my macs is having hd trouble.  it won&apos;t start up and instead gives me this terrible error.  i know the hard drive is bad.  that&apos;s the only possible solution at this point.  so now i need to replace the hard drive.  :(  very sad.  but i can do that and load the system software on my own, thereby saving me the trouble of paying someone else to do it.</description>

  <description>Yeah, so I&apos;m addicted to this tv show.  It&apos;s really good.  And it&apos;s a little creepy.  But it&apos;s a great show!  :)  The plot is a little complex to be explaining in LJ land, but you should check it out on NBC&apos;s web site.  OMG, it&apos;s a good show.  People with real super powers awakening to a purpose they don&apos;t understand/ know yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man, I&apos;m HOOKED.</description>

Well it&apos;s &quot;new to me&quot; and it has a lot of funcitonality and faster stuff than the old one does.  I&apos;m pretty happy with it and am just now putting it through its paces.  I&apos;m just glad the battery is going to undoubtedly last longer than the other one.  I put in my ebay feedback.  I&apos;m really happy, less than a week and the laptop is here and ready to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New toys are always a lot of fun.  We&apos;ll see what this one can do.  :)</description>

  <title>Crystal energy retention</title>
  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/83091.html</link>
  <description>Don&apos;t get me wrong, I still will post in my other journal as well, but on this path I&apos;m going to start using this journal probably more often than the other one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been having troubles with the balancing act of feeding/ maintaining lately.  I think that the main cause is stress in my life.  Stress means I usually don&apos;t meditate the way I would ordinarily.  No meditation means that I&apos;m not managing my energy very well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I am classifying as a psi-vampire, I am very much an energy worker.  I work with crystals and stones.  I&apos;ve studied them more in depth in terms of storing energy.  Think of it like storing blood in the refrigerator for emergencies... the psi-vamp way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a creature attuned to energy, I have discovered that it is indeed possible to store energy into crystals.  It&apos;s kind of like charging them with energy, only there&apos;s no true intent.  It&apos;s just pouring in energy.  Some crystals retain energy quite well.  My quartzes are really good for that, smoky quartz especially (for me).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m testing the theory that if one charges a crystal with their energy a little bit at a time, it can be used as an energy source come a true emergency.  I have heard it said that stones and objects don&apos;t usually maintain the levels of energy that would be needed by a psi-vamp if he/she should get into dire need for energy.  I&apos;m not trusting to theory that a crystal would be any better than any other object, but it&apos;s something to consider at least.  Maybe more to the point, by being in contact with the crystal every day, I am cycling energy in a more efficient way between feedings.</description>

  <title>Psychic Vampyre Community on LJ</title>
  <link>http://nightwynds.livejournal.com/82746.html</link>
  <description>Yeah, if you can&apos;t find em... start one.  Works for me every time.  I really wanted to find a community of people where it was free-form and easy to get access to information/ others and alas, I haven&apos;t found what I was looking for...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shameless plug.. I admit it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_psivampyre&apos; lj:user=&apos;psivampyre&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/psivampyre/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/psivampyre/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;psivampyre&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is for those of us who don&apos;t have a community on LJ and it&apos;s being designed as an open discussion journal with resources and hopefully a little bit of help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t claim to know everything about being a psychic vampyre, but I am one.  I haven&apos;t found any really great resources online (well a few!) and I&apos;ve come short when looking for vampyre community types in my area.  So, the next best solution... START ONE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open to all vampyres (sanguine or psi) and black swans (friends).</description>
