Today flew by.  Mostly.

Excal: sucked.
Public speaking: did my flute speech, sucked, but not as bad.
Math: sat around, bitched, whined.  Didn't suck all that much.
History: took notes, tried to hide in the crook of my elbow from Carl.
Festival: quite fun, actually; <lj user="senotay"></lj>'s solothing sounded really good.
Latin: went, then left and hung out with <lj user="senotay"></lj> and <lj user="breakfastfox"></lj>.  Hey, she told me to leave..
Bio: went, then left.  Hey, the room stunk, and she told us to leave..
Creative writing: read children's books out loud.
After: Dan was giving brief, probably not very well thought out tarot readings in the hall for money.  I watched a little, then waited for <lj user="breakfastfox"></lj> for a while, then drifted to the balcony to see about some hullabaloo.  Revier was hanging out with choirgeeks, but it smelled like bad feta, so I left.  Drove to my dad's after that, where I sat around and thought about tarot and fuzzies.

None of the stuff I've ordered has come yet.  Two All-State CDs, an All-State DVD, an All-State hoodie, a FLCL DVD, and two tarot decks (mind you, I only ordered one of them about an hour ago.. :oP).  It makes me feel kinda bad.  I shelled out the cash, and it seems like for nothing.  I bet I'll get a bunch of stuff at once, and it'll feel really neat then.

Last night, Moondog and I talked about sex.  Aaaand.. there's not a whole lot to write about there.  I don't think so, at least.  I'm tired, and the log's at my mom's.  Not that it's any of your business, anyway ^^  Well, maybe it is, I don't know.

Finally, a spread:

<a href="http://ranna.bolognia.net/78spread.txt">A seventy-eight card spread</a> - described below for your reading enjoy...ment.. or something.
<pre>
Ranna's Wheel:
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the future, so the three
wheels are really the same wheel depicted throughout time.  The cards are laid
out from past to future because, as you work from past to future, the
possibilities for occurences to happen lessen, as do the possibilities of
cards in the remaining deck.  The past and future wheels roll away from the
present, in the way the cards are laid out (counter-clockwise for past,
clockwise for future).  This is a work in progress.

3 sets of circles: past, present, future
Concentric circles: internal, external, chaos
Two cards as dynamics in circles

78/3 = 26
       -2 (dynamics +)
     = 24
       -4 (chaos *)
     = 20
       -8 (external x)
     = 12
      -12 (internal o)


       PAST               PRESENT             FUTURE

         o                   o                   o
      o  x  o             o  x  o             o  x  o
   o  x  *  x  o       o  x  *  x  o       o  x  *  x  o
 o  x  * + *  x  o   o  x  * + *  x  o   o  x  * + *  x  o
   o  x  *  x  o       o  x  *  x  o       o  x  *  x  o
      o  x  o             o  x  o             o  x  o
         o                   o                   o


Placement:
Past: Chaos ring is placed first, starting at the top and working
counter-clockwise.  Next, the horizontal card of dynamic is placed.
Then the external ring is placed, starting at the top and working
counter-clockwise.  Following that, the vertical card of the dynamic is
placed.  Finally, the internal ring is placed, starting at the top and working
counter-clockwise.

Present: Chaos ring is placed first, starting with the top card, then the
bottom, then the left, then the right.  Next, the vertical card of the dynamic
is placed.  Then the external ring is placed, starting with the top card, then
bottom, then left, then right, then upper left, then lower right, then upper
right, then lower left.  Following that, the horizontal card of the dynamic is
placed.  Finally, the internal ring is placed, starting with the top card,
then bottom, then the upper left top, then the lower right bottom, then the
upper right top, then the lower left bottom, then then lower left top, then
upper right bottom, then lower right top, then upper left bottom, and finally,
leftmost, then rightmost. (basically, top-bottom, then the X made by the four
cards closest to the top and bottom cards, then the X made by the four cards
closest to the righ and left cards, then right-left)

Future: Chaos ring is placed first, starting at the top and working clockwise.
Next, the vertical card of dynamic is placed.  Then the external ring is
placed, starting at the top and working clockwise.  Following that, the
horizontal card of the dynamic is placed.  Finally, the internal ring is
placed, starting at the top and working clockwise.

Reading:
Read in order of placement.  The chaos ring deals with variables that are
caused more by chaos, rather than intention, i.e. unintended reactions.  The
external ring deals with external influences acting against the subject.  The
internal ring deals with variables relating to the Self.  The irony is not
lost on me that there are fewer chaotic variables than internal, and that the
internal ring is outside of the external.

This section has yet to be completed.  I need to flesh out what the placement
of the cards mean, pretty much.  Axes to organize things, so that card positions
apply to all three rings.  Must think on this a little more deeply.
