[random] Twilight Covening, APC10

[wispfox]

I am _so_ going to Twilight Covening for the first time this year. Simultaneously nervous and excited. Just sent my registration through snail mail today.

It smelled like Fall outside this morning. Must go for a walk today whether or not I have time, because available decent weather for such is running out.

I met australian_joe a year ago. Which I only even realized because intenselaura, who I met at the same time, mentioned a few days ago that APC10 started a year ago.

La!

Yes, I saw that APC anniversary post, and thought, ok, so I met wispfox a year ago, since I met her at the same time as intenselaura. 8->

*laugh* Somehow, it does not surprise me that we both had effectively the same reaction to her post. ;)

[australian-joe.livejournal.com]

Yep!

And I checked - you emailed me the week after APC. 8->

shmoop! :)

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

*Grins* Often. :)

And there's plenty more where that came from! 8->

ooh! :)

I *love* Twilight Covening. Which clans did you ask for?

Re: ooh! :)

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

crane, bear, fennec fox, mockingbird

There were a bunch that I was interested in, but those were the most so. And attempting to put them in any order was difficult, since my preferences kept changing depending on when I asked myself.

You?

cool! :)

i'd love to see fraterrisus do crane, but i think my chances of getting him there are pretty low...

Re: ooh! :)

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Why low?

Re: ooh! :)

[catya.livejournal.com]

i think i shouldn't try to speak for him on it? so ask him :)

Re: ooh! :)

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Noted. I may eventually remember to ask. Was idle curiosity, so probably won't remember.

*gigglegigglegiggle*
(I'm remember having to do this the first time when I didn't know any of the clan leaders.)

What I'm doing is a kind of complicated question... I'll let you know when I do! :)

I'm going for the first time this year and am kinda struggling over which clans to choose and why. A couple of people have said not to choose a clan that rooms together because I wouldn't meet many other people, but if I'm there for an intense ritual experience largely with my clan, I don't really see the problem with that.

If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it... Here, or in response ot the relevant thread in my LJ. :)

I agree -- it depends largely on what you're looking for. I think the tactic of reading through the clan lists and seeing what pops out at you is a good one in general

You might think about what you're looking to gain from the experience -- do you want to check out the community? Do you have some piece of personal work you'd like to do? Are you interested in exploring a particular kind of practice?

I have personally never found Twilight to be a very social gathering -- I have made connections with people in my clan several times, but there's not a lot of miscellaneous hanging out time. I've done two clans that cabined together, and those were actually where I did the *most* hanging out with my clanmates.

You can drop me email at dancingwolfgrrl at yahoo if you're looking for more specific info -- I'm happy to talk more about my experiences or the work of the clanleaders I know if that would be helpful :)

Re: ooh! :)

[catya.livejournal.com]

if you'd like to run the clans you're thinking about past me, i'd be happy to give you what insight i have on them...

Re: ooh! :)

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

*amused* Curious about why the complication.

Re: ooh! :)

[dancingwolfgrrl.livejournal.com]

Another one for when I've got it sorted out ;-)

I have a memory for these things. I'm happy to share it with people whose memories don't work that way.

Hmm, it was a year ago tonight that I had to decide between offers of crash space from and from Joe, and that you exclaimed with delight that you had toes, and that Joe looked at me and said "You're twisted!" because I'd just shared a bizarre double earworm, and and and...

Excellent. I have no memory for dates at all, pretty much ever. :)

You know what? I continue to have toes! Today, they are covered in soft, fuzzy, black socks.

[intenselaura.livejournal.com]

Yay for toes! And yay for soft, fuzzy socks!

[bridgetester.livejournal.com]

There's a cute toe quote that I have written down somewhere. It goes something like "I have toes! I like my toes." Perhaps I will find it at some point.

[dancingwolfgrrl.livejournal.com]

And there's the one about toeses and roses!

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Mrr? Toeses and roses?

[dancingwolfgrrl.livejournal.com]

Moses supposes his toeses are roses
But Moses supposes erroneously
For nobody's toeses are posies of roses
As Moses supposes his toeses to be!

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Hee! I knew, but forgot, that. :)

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

TOES! Fuzzy toes!
