It's interesting you two mention the Shamanic part. I don't know why, but last night I just was so overwhelmingly sick of half the people in SF calling themselves shamanic healers I was just ranting about it. I mean, whatever, maybe you are a healing person to be around, and that's great...but why Shamanic? And I feel a bit horrible, because one of these people I think it really great. I'm just so f*cking sick of looking at people's tribes, and they're different but the same? I'm just jaded and pissy now. I don't even want to hear that people are `spiritual' anymore...the word just doesn't mean anything now that nearly everyone's using it. Blech, puke. Don't want to hear about burning man. Blech, puke. And REALLY don't want to hear about ethical sluts anymore. I'm not saying all these `titles' weren't at one point meaningful, but at this point, in SF, they're just....well, blech, puke. Even Goddess stuff and people saying things like `blessings be'. Frickin' blech puke.

I'd probably love all these people if they were the minority in Iowa or something, but right now I just feel like all these words are creepy-crawling all over my skin.

I'm horrible. Is there an I'm horrible tribe for people like me?

Sorry, you guys are seeing a really bad side of me. Oh shit, sorry Rebecca...this is going to get Fuckerpants started. LOL

Yeah, something about Ayn Rand has always set off my inner alarms. Some distant echo of jack-boots on cobblestones.

Good advice, we should all remember this!!
