I have a different way of meditating. Instead of clearing my mind and trying to not think of anything (which is as good as telling me not to think about a pink elephant), I take whatever thoughts come into my mind and learn to recognise it, set it aside and move on. Basically not focus on it in an irrelevant way, I do that before I sleep, just to let it wash over me and then file it into a corner. It also helps if you can focus on your breath and a point slightly above your navel.

But I never manage to do it for long. After a while my mind starts to wander again. Usually in a very disturbing and slightly worrying direction.

You know Taint also refers to a body part right? We Healers know these things. *weg*

I sleep. And eat. And try to enjoy the moment as much as I can. Life is short and it's been fully reminding me of this fact. So I try to keep it present and mindful. Otherwise, listening to music always helps.

Also, when I can, DM.

One of the brightest sparks of my university life passed away this week. Suddenly and unbelievably. I haven't yet started to grieve because I'm still numb from the news. But my heart is broken and I am still unable to process everything. She was a choir mate, someone I went clubbing with and just general ball of energy. I can't understand....

And I can't see her for the last time either because, I recently moved far away from her. So... that's that, I guess....

It's beautiful Boopsy! Thank you! What do you think?

*twirls around in her new dress* 

Oh it IS pretty if I do say so myself. *beams happily*

Double post

@Delenn Sorry this took so long. Let me know if there is anything else I can change for you.

*said around a mouthful of chocolate covered marshmallows* Wait what happened the last time an Ashaman was fed sugar exactly? 🤨

*points to the crater in a distance, where, oddly enough, a pink plushie in the shape of an elephant was raised on a pole* 

I sense a disturbance in the Taint. Has someone brought chocolate again? Does noone remember the last time someone fed the Ashaman with SUGAR?

LADIES! LADIES! Let's not fight! At least not until one of the Soldiers fetches us some jello.

Ahem.

Anyway, I am SO glad the White Tower has shown some interest in us (Only slightly Mad) Male Channeling people. I was told the White Tower is a nice place and if you give this poor overworked Soldier sometime, I'm sure he can find you a nice place to sit as well. Forgive the mess, the Black Tower cleaner quit after that unfortunate Incident© with the toilet brushes and some of the Infirmary medication.

So, how are things with you lovely ladies?

 What, what and fermented pardon? 

 

 Sounds delightful... I think... 

 

Glad to come visiting! 

 

 

 

((Censored post))

*wipes sweat off* Well! That certainly went well. The thorns will drop off eventually. The purple stains... well, just hide them under your sleeves will do.

Hello to @LilyElizabeth and @Delenn! I'm glad you decided to gatecrash the thread. And for that you get rewarded with the best from the Black Tower! *brings out the Ter'angreal of MUCH FLAKINESS®* Now someone go get me some whipped cream, cement and fermented bananas.... *rolls sleeves up*

We have GUESTS!!

Yay. Another satisfied customer!

Hey Boopsy, if you're still feeling a like stirring up some trouble I could use something new. After all I think I need a fresh start.

 

Can we start simple with just the name, no titles til I get them sorted, but always must mention the Bluest Blue Helmet for posterity reasons.

Try this on for size....

Wootz another Storm Leader. Now we just need to think of what we can do as a div. I'd organise a raid, but we are only 3 we wouldn't make much of a din.

Wait.... wait... wait.... TWINFLOWER PASSED AWAY??? *jaw drops* When? How? Wby? (I didn't know WhiteWolf and Kristine but I mourn for them too)

I... *heartbroken*

@Wayward_fool you'll probably find some or all legacy bios on the PSW Wiki, even if you just want to see them for reference. Here's your Blue Sister and here's your Yellow.

 

Skechid is still listed on the old BT RP website but I don't see the bios on there.

 

 

 

Ahhh thank you! Would be great to find Skechid's again. Can I still be Storm Leader? And Healer?

What's a what what now??

I'd love to RP again. But I have lost my bios since the beginning of time... I feel like a hero of the Horn. Lol. 

Roughly I had 4 characters:

1) My primary: Skechid Aran Teobon. Storm Leader. Talent: AOL Healing, Cairheinin. Bonded to then M'hael, Dalinarius

2) Vighlair Argnand (Viggy): Seanchan. Son of the Emperor (Noble Blood), Raken/To'raken rider, Part of a pair of twins. I can't really play this character anymore because the family he was from including Empy, Michael and a few others have left DM.

3) Regalia Frantelle: Blue Sister. Tar Valonian (Is that what it's called?)

4) Camigwen Klatsang Marivin: Former Head of the Yellows (Might be retired now, I don't know), Talent: Major Healing

I dunno what to do. Writing Bios might take a while.

Happy Birthday!

 Just a little something I whipped up for this special occasion.

*gurgles* I adore you too... *bounces happily*

I think there's a universalness (is that a word? Can I copyright it?) in sadness. It's nice that no matter where we are in the world, how old we are or what we are up to in life we can still empathise with each other.

It's been more than 20 years for me. And in that time I've met so many terrible things and people and deaths and what not. I've been lied to, hurt and broken, But then I come back and some one starts a thread like this and it makes me feel less lonely in my grief and then things are better.

I had a sad. But so did everyone else. And that made it a lot better.

In other words... I WANT YOU ALL TO SUFFER LIKE I DID! MWAHAHAHAHAHHAA.

Sorry. Had a mad ashaman moment there. *coughs*

So we have one former Storm Leader and a Shadow'shaman.

Exciting.

So... what do you want to do? I've got... Stones.

I think the problem here is that there's no actual purpose to the ORG BT. There's no reason that separates us from the other Divs... that's why we all come from other Divs to be here, because we think being in the BT just is as per the books. But we don't promote anything unique. No real difference from other grps.

Let's say we change what BT is about. For example, could be the place people come to do something different like debate about stupid things. Or learn about controversies or weird facts about the planet? Or could it be the spiritual centre where we explore topics on increasing our vibrations to the next level and meditation and all that madness.

Just wondering if we have explored this sorta thing.

Hi! I am in no way having the authority to ask for a roll call, but I just wanted to know if the new year brought anyone new or retained someone old.

Skechid, Former Storm Leader

I dunno where I stand now, but let's see whether this bit of necromancy will bring people (or zombies) along.

I would provide feedback but this whole board seems dead. Question is... would there be much to do since there isn't anyone to do it with anyway? I would love to help out but I don't know what my parameters are and whether I can get help or not.

I was the BT asst div leader on the RP side so I've led the BT for a bit, but don't expect a M'hael out of me. I'm not very serious, but I love the BT so much because it was where I started out and it has SO many memories for me. 

Sighs. This really is a sad. But maybe a small spark can light up the night.
