So i'm worried about Kat. Both Alaia and I are majorly concerned about her. Oh that's right, i haven't told you guys. Alaia is a good friend of ours as well. Obviously as Kat has written something of her, you may have heard of her. But yeah, we're both worried about her. I was trying to move my stuff from college park last weekend when a blood-binder demon attacked. I couldn't get to Kat in time....We actually had to call her Ex in the emergency for his help with stabilizing her. But she lost the baby. She's lost one already this year, and we thought six months was long enough for her to get better before trying again. Well, it was going okay, but the attack....started her. She was only a month and a half thankfully, so it wasn't as bad as if she'd been six months or more. So, yeah. Seriously worried.
The only reason Kat was even down there outside of her safety zone was because of me. She is one of the most powerful people but when any one of Magus get pregnant, our powers are restricted. Unless hunted, we tend to hide out and surround ourselves in protective charms or people because we are vulnerable since we can't use magic without knowing if it will harm the baby or not. When Kat started to bleed...we all freaked. Alaia and I, she is our Queen. She is our reason to fight even now when there is no court. I won't discuss Kat, because that is her business. But what happened pisses me off. Kat had been asked to help with the DC area otherkin council as one of the few royals who aren't tethered to an area. I warned her that DC is too demonic for her to handle. But she handled it. It helps when your Ex is as powerful as her's. But now their attacking us and telling us we aren't welcome to help after they pretty much begged her to help. So yeah, they can pretty much go to hell in my opinion. Kat is such a strong person, but she's been through so much and hurt so badly, i'm surprised and proud of her every day. But this...is beyond even what I can stand and I don't know how Kat stands it.
Kat believes in the demons and those that are considered evil. She feels we're misunderstood and not allowed a chance to show who we are. I won't go too deep into what is happening but there's a boatload of
bs and such happening. Many of Otherkin are in an uproar over what's
going on and we all know the issue. But you mundanes are clueless and
right now, we want it that way. Its safer for you guys and safer for us.
Right now, the biggest issue is that the Demons won't listen and the
rest of the Otherkin don't want to listen anymore. So standstill,
impasse moment. FUN.......
I'm always ashamed that I almost told her and Alaia to never bother me again after I merged with Suneal. But i'm glad they stuck to their guns and I will always love Kat the most for always being there to make me smile even when I know she's hurting. Kat, sweetie...we love you. Alaia and I love you so much, and hope that you can tell us what the pain is so we can make it right. Cause nothing fixes hurts better than your sisters killing what did it. <3

Experience VS. Learning
So, here's an issue I've noticed happening a lot. Many companies list on their job offerings "experience XXX, or years ????" Is this they're way of shutting out the college kids who haven't worked beyond entry-level jobs if that. Its fairly common to hear in our age group the sentence "So, i wasn't chosen for the job because i don't have any experience" or "its been filled by someone with experience". To me, that just smacks of Ageism.
They claim that our parents generation were the ones who stayed loyal and true to their companies and upheld the loyalty code. BS. It was our grandparents who did so. Our parents job-hopped more than a whore at a flea-bitten motel. And we have suffered because of it. Now that our parents generation is getting up there in years, their looking for the stability they remember their parents having. Well....that has us displaced and scrambling. Most of our parents still job hop when they can. Better hours, more pay, that sort of thing. And because of them, we were taught that company loyalty means nada and that we can always do better. Well this economy has killed that.
We have smacked in the back of the head with our parents job ideology and those same companies want our parents or grandparents because guess what....THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE. Plus i think the retirement thing is playing majorly too. I mean, what company in their right mind wants to pay pension benefits to someone who's worked at a place for 30/40years vs hiring them for less than 30 years...say hit em out the door at 20 to 25yrs. Then they don't have to pay the pension! Its a grand idea for them. But that's fucking us all out of jobs.
Many of us have gone to college and gotten degrees to do those same jobs. But, and here's where i get mad, we get told me we need experience to work in the same field. HOW DO WE DO THAT WITHOUT A JOB? That's what confuses me so. Kat, Isaac, our friends....case in point... Kat's friend's husband got told today that the job had been filled with someone who had the experience and that they would see if any other openings came up in any department, they'd toss his name into it. That's a boatload of bs. Kat herself hasn't heard back from a really good sales job opening. Though I'm calling her out on this because she didn't push hard enough. She's got a decent job but she wants one with more security and health benefits.
But seriously. All these companies are dicks about this. Honestly, i am having a hard time holding my temper on this. I'm also being polite. I want to say $#$%#$%@ to them, but at the same time i'm not doing that because I don't need to. WE ALL NEED TO TELL THEM OFF. Move over Occupy...its time for "FU EXPERIENCE". I'd love to see a ton of young people just sit at companies with signs saying "FU and the experience required!" or "Screw Experience, we want to learn!" "Teach us, and we'll be loyal!"...things like that. So yeah, its not like we don't get the experience but seriously, how much more do we have to say "we want jobs too" before we finally get something?

Sorry for the Absence Guys!
Okay, well, i had to move. It took a bit to find a new place that was easily reachable to the major cities and airports. So i took up residence in Htown with Kat! Not in her house, but there's this beautiful old home i found and I got it at a decent price. Needs some work, but its worth it. I'll have a new entry tomorrow. Its on a topic i think all of us in our generation can agree on though.
Its getting closer to fall and that means..............FALL FESTIVALS.........UGH. We've already seen the candy corn in the stores...must hide! Fall festivals are the bane of our existence. Their everywhere at once! Beware the fall festivals!
