What's the buzz? Tell me what's a happenin'; what's the buzz, tell me what's a happenin'...

Hello.  Some of you may have read some of my previous little looks into the life of a teenage witch, while others of you may have not.  I am a witch, raised into witchcraft, and trained by my "family".  One day I hope to have enough confidence and understanding to pass on the knowledge I have gained from my teachers to the next generation of Wiccae.  I am currently 18, which for most groups is just barely old enough to consider for training.

I have many aspirations.  The first and foremost on my mind is to complete my high school courses, followed by getting a job - perhaps a summer internship at the local PD, and then completing the requirements and as many prerequisites for my intended college major at a community college.  For those interested, I have always wanted to be in sciences, and my intended major is criminal sciences (forensics, psychology, and criminal justice). More information on my dreams and life is available at my LiveJournal.

Here's the Buzz:  Life is always going on, so never claim that there is nothing to do.  You may get bored, but you always have something to do.  Read a book, take a walk, learn a craft, sleep, meditate, play video games, anything.  If nothing else, you can always breathe.  I know that I get bored easily.  I cannot do just one thing at a time: while listening or watching something, I read or knit.  I also draw and write.  When just hanging out, I stretch and dance, or run through some simple tai chi or yoga.  This is something anyone can do - I may be young, but I am not what most think.  I am a real person, not a stick.  I only do simple yoga and tai chi, nothing that can't be done by any beginner.  Enjoy what you have, for you can always take comfort in your belongings and loved ones - they are more precious to you than you know; someone else has less and holds on tighter.

As my final project in high school, I am knitting.  I am knitting scarves and socks, and probably eventually blankets as well, for those who need them.  Yarn is cheap, classes are easy to find, as are mentors.  Everyone enriches the world in their own way, so why not find yours and help those that need it.

I strongly urge any and all persons capable of volunteering to do so.  I know how obnoxious it is to see all these ads for Tsunami Aid programs, especially when so many others around the world need help too, but please help whoever and however you can, for ANY aid program.  You can be someone's hero, and that feeling is better than any other.
