One Month... Almost

There is no word in the drow language for love. The closest word I can think of is ssinssrigg, but that is a term better equated with physical lust or selfish greed. The concept of love exists in the hearts of some drow, of course, but true love, a selfless desire often requiring personal sacrifice, has no place in a world of such bitter and dangerous rivalries.

The only sacrifices in drow culture are gifts to Lolth, and those are surely not selfless, since the giver hopes, prays, for something greater in return.

Still, the concept of love was not new to me when I left the Underdark. I loved Zaknafien. I loved both Belwar and Clacker. Indeed, it was the capacity, the need, for love that ultimately drove from Menzoberranzan.

Is there in all the wide world a concept more fleeting, more elusive?. Many people of all the races seem simply not to understand love, burden its beauteous simplicity with preconceived notions and unrealistic expectations. How ironic that I, walking from the darkness of loveless Menzoberranzan, can better grasp the concept than many of those who have lived with it, or at least with the very real possibility of it, for all of their lives.

Some things a renegade drow will not take for granted.

My few journeys to Silverymoon in these past weeks have invited goodhearted jests from my friends. "Suren the elf has his eyes fixed on another wedding!" Bruenor has often crooned, regarding my relationship with Alustriel, the Lady of Silverymoon. I accept the taunts in light of the sincere warmth and hopes behind them, and have not dashed those hopes by explaining to my dear friends that their notions are misguided.

I aprreciate Alustriel and the goodness she has shown me. I appreciate that she, a ruler in a too-often unforgiving world, has taken such a chance as to allow a dark elf to walk freely down her city's wondrous avenues. Alustriel's acceptance of me as a friend has allowed me to draw my desires from my true wishes, not from expected limitations.

But do I love her?

No more than she loves me.

I will admit, though, I do love the notion that I could love Alustriel, and she could love me, and that, if the attraction were present, the color of my skin and the reputation of my heritage would not deter the noble Lady of Silverymoon.

I know now, though, that love has become the most prominent part of my existence, that my bond of friendship with Bruenor and Wulfgar and Regis is of utmost importance to any happiness that this drow will ever know.

My bond with Catti-brie runs deeper still.

Honest love is a selfless concept, that I have already said, and my own selflessness has been put to a severe test this spring.

I fear now for the future, for Catti-brie and Wulfgar and the barriers they must, together, overcome. Wulfgar loves her, I do not doubt, but he burdens his love with a possessiveness that borders on disrespect.

He should understand the spirit that is Catti-brie, should see clearly the fuel that stokes the fires in her marvelous blue eyes. It is that very spirit that Wulfgar loves, and yet he will undoubtedly smother it under the notions of a woman's place as her husband's possession.

My barbarian friend has come far from his youthful days roaming the tundra. Farther still must he come to hold the heart of Bruenor's fiery daughter, to hold Catti-brie's love.

Is there in all the world a concept more fleeting, more elusive?

Walking the Plank

In the good news department I have lost 12 pounds, on purpose. My only diet is cutting fast food, drinking water all the time and almost never drinking soda, and starting to serve myself smaller amounts of food. (I'm very generous with my food :D)So know I have to start an exercise routine, which is the more difficult part. I am a lazy bastard by tendency; so it's going to be quite interesting getting my but in gear.

In the not so good news department, I have move back to my parents house. Things are no quite so good with my b/f. Lets see what happens with this new move. I am quite glad that my mom has not (YET) pestered me to death about the "me moving out and moving back to them thing". So things a very nice and tranquil back at my parents home.

In the bad news department, my job with the library comes to an end next week. Since I am graduating I can no longer work in the University's Library. So I am currently looking for another job (I already have a second job) A friend told me of a new store that's opening sometime this year. I like the idea of the store, so will see what happens.

Exact Change

You always need to have in your pocket exact change to survive daily life. What exact change? you ask, I'll tell you. 3 quarters (because 4 would make a dollar) 2 dimes and 1 nickel ( only 2 to make .20 cause 3 would make .30, and you already have .30 with 1 quarter and the nickel; and only 1 nickel cause 2 would make .10 and you already have that) and finally 4 cents. Yes that is the perfect change. But you say that .25 repeats itself? Well of course, you can break a quarter literally to smaller pieces to make less change. That's why it repeats itself.

This is the infallible advise given to me by the librarian in charge during the shift of 10pm to midnight. Yes fun times ahead for me...

Cascada 1103

Yesterday everything was kool until...I'm at work and the cell-phone rings. B/F:Hi, we have a problem. Me:What?. B/F:The apartment is flooding. He passes by, picks me up and we go to the apart. My apartment, is part of a house divided nicely to 3 apartments per floor level. The house has two levels, and its also elevated from the ground level, so there are steps to get inside the house.

When we got there, water was gushing out coming under the security front door and down the steps. Every apartment in the first level was flooded and in the second only the one that was spitting out the water. Thankfully the errand guy, called Victor, passed by and saw all this and went to get the keys to the apartment to open it an stop the water. In the meantime I was brushing away water with a broom in front of my apartment door. Victor came with the keys and we followed him to the second floor and to the apartment we believe was causing the disaster.

The water was coming out of the tube that supplies the water to the toilet tank. So we closed the key, and Victor stayed in the second level with a broom and a mop sending the water from her room to me on the first floor, for me to brush out of the house. For a moment I thought the water would never end. Finally he came down and then open the apartments in the first floor (I insisted, nasty it would be to arrive at your house and find it covered in water). Well, the same routine was repeated for each room in the first floor: open the room take out the water and pass a towel to get whats left.

Thankfully the damages at first glance all seem to be extremely superficial... That and the funky smell we are going to have for the next couple of weeks.
