    There are moments being an empath stink, yesterday was high on the list.

    [Private to Mathey House and Friends]

    I was outside the dorms on the phone with Jess (decent towers more than anything) when I picked up something odd, figured at the time it was nothing but kept an eye open. We had our weekly catch up session when I got pushed into the bushes (only minor cuts so I let one of the healer witches help to save the medical wing some problems) and pretty sure I scared Jess, told her it was a spat to keep her from worrying too much but I'll tell her more tonight.

    [Private to Rocky and Lendie]

    I just heard back from Jess and she would love any info you can email her! She gave me the ok to give you her email in London (jesslloyd@hotmail.uk) and I'm going to see her in about 2 weeks.

    Via Jess,"Something has to be done and count this witch on board via London! I'm dating a mage and the magical theater troupe I'm in is all magical races so maybe one group of actors can make a difference in our somewhat kooky way".

    Nothing will stop me from finally being happy!

    1. An amazing birthday (Oliver, I'll be by soon!).

    2. My powers are finally taming themselves back to normal.

    3. A port back to England coming up if nothing goes wrong.

    Am I among the few that love the idea of a masked ball?

    [Private to Mathey House and Friends]

    Are the rage levels off the charts or are my powers going nuts again? But all this rage is not doing me any good and the idea of being ordered to attend this ball is not sounding so great in my mind. Put all of us into one room and with two of those groups at odds there is a good chance things will turn ugly.

    But I do get why some are annoyed but is there a holiday coming up? I am trying to explain why all the kids from Canada are miffed.

    Part of me is more scared things are only going to get worse before it gets any better.

    At least there has been nothing nasty in Wales or England at the moment.

    Is there anyone in or near London?

    Jess and I are together but she wants me back at Idris after opening night of her play (mundie production this time). I want to be there for my sister but part of me wants to be somewhere safe if my powers go nuts again.

    But the empathic side is having a bloody field day and well we're both shaken up.

    Jess has been on the phone all night since there's a huge magical theater group in that area. Her boyfriend is with us too (he's a mage and well what a way to meet your sister's new boyfriend).

    But why?? Because you now have a pair of very spooked witches in this corner.

    Deke: small change of plans given all this? I know Jess would feel better if someone met me at the port post play so a dvd and burgers?

    Misae: I'm coming back after the play, can you feed Rose? She takes a single cup of food since she's just a kitten.

    London, Cardiff, or back to Idris?

    FYI for those that have not met my sister: Jessica is also a witch but she's a telpath.

    Offically back in Cardiff and home.

    Maybe escaping for a few days was the right idea, its like I'm finally starting to really recover from my wild emotions and now I'm able to smile again. But as I have been reminded since then its baby steps on the way to emotional healing so for now its one day and one thing at a time for me.

    Heading to London for opening of Jess's play on Thursday, anyone heading that way? But I'm within a days train of most European cities if anyone wants to meet up!


    [Private to Deke]

    Porting back from London on Sunday, will post before I do.

    But you made me think: maybe that meltdown and you finding me sobbing in the bushes was meant to happen on some level.

    Emotionally speaking things are still a little hairy inside my head but I'm getting myself back so more happy and smiling over teary train wreck. When you kissed me it sent the monsters inside my head into hiding, like something was triggered within me at the same time.

    But at the same time I felt what you were feeling: maybe after break we can see if anything happens?

    Anyone else going to England or Wales for fall break?

    The mundie play Jess is in opens that week so the choice was easy: London to see her and the play and some time at home in Cardiff. Plus after last weekend the idea of escape even if just for a few days sounds pretty good.

    Mathey won! Plus I'm having the best time as announcer (thank you for sitting with me Dylan) and on suggestion I'm curious to see if anyone wants to sit in the booth with me next match?

    Deke: That outing before I port home and we can make some plans for after fall break?

    Misae: Still on for tea tommorow?

    So who wants candy from Wales brought back??

    [Private to friends and others with Mathey]

    I spent most of Sunday in bed, massive emotional meltdown that must have been a week or so in the making. It was like something in me had to crack in order for emotional healing to start once again. Not totally back but with some extra shields I'm stable for classes, still a little teary so fair warning.

    Here's the strange part: I was semi normal during the talent show.

    Let's just hope I can escape GG seeing how red my eyes were all weekend...

    Speaking of: any good potions to rid the physical effects of a massive crying spree?

    [/Private]

    Anyone not in this week's Blitzball match: can someone sit in the booth with me? I'm able to announce the match but not taking any chances with my emotional state.

    Now that the fact I step dance is out in the open I'm kicking around some ideas for dance company, mostly the idea of step dance to jumpstyle.

    Deke: Candy shop after the match?

    Dick: Going home for fall break? I'm tempted to head for London to see Jess with a stop in Cardiff.

    What possessed me to audition for the talent show? Not many beyond the dance company even know that side of me is out there so this is emotional and artistic exposure at the same time.

    But does anyone know what a chupacabra is? Jess emailed me some story about one being spotted in the states so I'm curious.

    Speaking of the talent show: anyone seen my folk cds?

    I promised a few people a more recent photo of Jessica since she's coming in for Founder's Weekend. She moved to London for drama school after she graduated Idris a few years ago. Our parents are away on business but mum is coming up in a few weeks to take me out for supper (nothing is wrong, just bad timing).

    [Private to friends and others with Mathey]

    Jess is keeping our parents updated but at the moment if there is anyone within my family that understands all this its her. She saw right through me since she's a telpathic witch.

    Just keep tabs on me, if I look like I'm hazing out or on the verge of tears reel me back. I can't crack in public this weekend of all weekend.

    Too many emotions...

    Cardiff crew: has anyone spoken with Wales or any family? Mum has agreeded to let me stay but I am to keep in contact till things calm down.

    Hunter: I own you a hug.

    Dick: We're still on for that trip home after Founder's Weekend? Right now something to look foward to will help.

    Xeno: I dropped off the dvd you lent me (thank you!)

    Ro: Fresh cd waiting, I found the reels you asked about.

    Misae: In the midst of darkness I'm lucky to have an understanding roomie (be careful of Rose's supper and water bowls?).


    [Private to friends and others with Mathey]

    I'm fluxing and fluxing bad, think I'm going to take a power induced mental last 2 periods if this keeps up. The fact I broke down during lunch is a sign I'm taking this harder than most...

    Jess called as well, she wants to be our ear during all this. Typical for my sister right?

    I hate death as an empath, the aftermath always throws me off kilter. Feeling everything ten times harder, the flux making things worse than usual.

    Can't stop the tears....

    Don't find me right now, I have to cry and don't want you guys to see how badly I am fluxing.

    As an empath today's news has left me shaken up so a fair warning if the tear fits start up worse than usual. Given the state of flux I'm in things may not be pretty emotionally speaking.

    I had picked out today's Who verse quote before the news broke but Torchwood and its second series finale "Exit Woulds" was coming back to me today. So here's today's quote.

    Tosh: [on video] Okay. So, if you're seeing this, I guess it means I'm, well, dead. Hope it was impressive! Not crossing the road or an 'incident' with a toaster. I just wanted to say, it's okay, it really is. Jack, you saved me. You showed me all the wonders of the universe and all those possibilities. And I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Thank you. And Owen. You never knew. I love you. All of you. And.... I hope I did good.
    Jack: Now we carry on.
    Gwen: I don't think I can. Not after this.
    Jack: You can. We all can. The end is where we start from.

    [Private to friends and others with Mathey]

    I just got off the phone with Jess and she's offered to keep us updated as much as she can. She may be a magical actress in mundie theater but that world has a way of hearing things. She and I have supportive family but neither of us are taking chances right now (our parents are mundies). I think a part of her is worried about possible backlash if things heat up, I feel her more than most since we are sisters.

    She also said something interesting: the Faie and Therian peace has been a major discussion within her circle. Jess is not sure what to make of it. For those that have not met her: Jess is my older sister Jessica and she graduated from Idris a few years ago. Like me she's a witch but a telpath.

    Misae also suggested I post the warning signs of a flux so here they are: if I look like I'm hazing out in public, more teary than usual for someone like me, the GMO look pops up or I slip into Welsh (beyond the few that speak the language of course). Otherwise just be ready if I slip. For now at least till my powers go back to normal I'm doing extra Magical Balance but not taking any chances given the new Head Girl among other things.

    [/Private]

    Dick: We're still on for Rugby? From what mum told me we can easily port to Cardiff and be back here after the game (and a fish and chips stop by Cardiff Bay since our favorite stand moved locations).

    Ro: I dropped off the cd of reels you asked me about.

    Xeno: I got the DVD's of the Ninth Doctor finally.

    3:24 am
    The meltdowns are going down numbers wise, good sign?

    Xeno: We still on for District 9 and GI Joe? I also have Nine's single series on DVD if you want to compare him between the Doctor and GI Joe. Speaking of: Casino Royal with me as friends?

    Note to self: pick up dress after classes (I had to special order since I'm so short) and more cat food (does anyone within Mathey need pet food picked up?).

    As for today's Who verse quote I decided to use one from the Ninth Doctor's single series, especially since he is now playing the head of CORBA in GI Joe. Today's epsiode is "Parting of the Ways" and the scene is his Regeneration into Ten.

    The Doctor: Rose, before I go, I just wanna tell you: you were fantastic, absolutely fantastic. And you know what? [Pause] So was I! [the Doctor's head, arms, and legs explode with light; you can visibly see the Doctor's appearance changing. The regeneration stops and there is a different person standing where the Doctor was, though wearing the same clothes]
    Tenth Doctor: Hello! Oka-[gulp and sick expression] New teeth. That's weird. So where was I? Oh that's right! Barcelona! [grins]


    [Private to friends and others with Mathey]

    Let's just say its a good thing not many around Idris understand either Galiec or Welsh, especially since someone got Head Girl. Call it a sick feeling more than anything else.

    But keep tabs on me for the next few days? If I look ready to start screaming or break down crying do whatever it takes, I can't risk a meltdown given the new Head Girl.

    Free: Nice save during lunch :)

    Quote of the Entry
    Today's quote is from the series 3 epsiode "Gridlock" when The Doctor finally comes clean to Martha about the Time War, sort of.

    This quote just felt right, can't really explain how.

    The Doctor: There was a war. A Time War. The Last Great Time War. My people fought a race called the Daleks, for the sake of all creation. And they lost. We lost. Everyone lost. They're all gone now. My family. My friends. Even that sky. [reminiscent] Oh, you should have seen it! That old planet.... The second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver, when they caught the light, every morning it looked like a forest on fire. When the autumn came, a brilliant glow though the branches...

    FYI: I'm reworking a reel for dance company so that should hopefully explain the tapping.

    [Private to friends and others with Mathey]

    Update on the power flux crisis: I did email Professor Williams and I'll be doing extra Magical Balance classes. But its only till my empathic side either balances out or the fluxes decide to stop.

    Finally seeing the light at the end of this nightmare is helping. The first test since the last party was a bust: Casino Royal.

    Random Bits and Pieces
    New epsiode of Doctor Who (Planet of the Dead) tommorow so anyone want to watch with me? I do not mind giving crash courses on the Who verse!

    Maybe it was a good thing I left the party early? I got nailed by a mere lovers spat and from what I was feeling all night it was not pretty.

    [Private to friends and others with Mathey]

    If anyone heard crying both Thrusday and Friday night it was me, massive overload on Friday and Torchwood made me cry on Thursday. I ended up watching Torchwood after slipping away from the dance and the epsiode made me cry even more, but those tears were the needed ones. If the overloads keep up or get worse I'll talk to Professor Williams.

    [/Private]

    Dick: Want to go back to Cardiff in a couple of weeks, huge rugby match.

    Since someone asked me awhile back what Irish step dancing is I offer a link from Riverdance plus the preview for Doctor Who.

    Reel Around the Sun, opening number from the first troupe

    Planet of the Dead preview

    Today's Doctor Who quote comes from the Ninth Doctor epsiode The Unquiet Dead since the actress that now plays Gwen Cooper on Torchwood guested in this epsiode. Yes I think Gwen is a closet empath.

    Gwyneth: And you have come such a long way.
    Rose: What makes you think so?
    Gwyneth: You're from London, I have seen London in drawings, but never like that. All those people rushing about, half naked for shame. And the noise, and the metal boxes racing past, and the birds in the sky- no, no they are metal as well. Metal birds with people in them, people are flying. And you, you have flown so far, further than any one. The things you’ve seen- The Darkness, The Big Bad Wolf!

    GG has no bloody idea....

    [Private to friends and others with Mathey]

    She has basically forced me to make what happened public: I was attacked while visiting my family in Wales (random goons). I fought back but got beaten to a pulp and to borrow from Doctor Who my powers are pulling a Doctor (are in flux). I only returned late to have a bit of recovery time and to see Jess in London.

    The fact I broke down crying during Potions is bad enough...

    I'll be crying again during Torchwood tonight...

    Am I the only one that thinks there may be an empath within Torchwood?

    [/Private]

    I think the perfect cure is a trip onto the TARDIS, via dvd since I got the Planet of the Dead dvd while home.

    So viewing party Sunday night during the BBC America broadcast?

    Today's Doctor Who quote comes from the Chidren in Need special "Time Crash"

    Tenth Doctor: [excited, in awe] Look at you! The hat, the coat, the crickety-cricket stuff, the.... [unenthusiastically] stick of celery, yeah.... brave choice, celery, but fair play to you, not a lot of men can carry off a decorative vegetable.
