"It is the curse of the weak to destroy what they don't comprehend because the unknown frightens them. Rather like a child that is afraid of monsters under the bed but is afraid to light a candle and explore if there is anything really there at all. Instead they lay there all night, shivering in dread, for no other reason but stupidity and cowardice. They don't face their fears because they don't want to understand the nature behind them. They don't want to see their own failings. They have to demolish everything that makes them nervous or frightened because it makes them feel big and powerful when in reality, they are nothing more than ants." - Janus, "The Story of Magus Ch. 18" by ZealPropht

I'm a little surprised at the e-mail I got this evening. I sent an e-mail to check up on a friend, or at least, I like to think of him as a friend, at college. In the reply, I found out he knew about and read my LJ. I was surprised. And a bit embarassed I think. More surprising to me is going to be if once he sees some of the friends locked posts in conjunction with a couple of the earlier unlocked ones he still speaks to me. I'm shocked he hasn't written me off as crazy and not worth talking to already. We'll see what happens. It's actually a pleasant surprise.

Crazy?

[dreamspiral.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? I've done plenty of magic(k) in my time, and I know that you are definitely not crazy. Of course, I was sort of scared away from magic in general after some really bad juju came my way... heh, messing around with things I shouldn't have been...

Anyway, I probably should have told you that I knew about your LJ... sorry about that. I was actually worried about you thinking that I was crazy. For some reason, when I tell most people my personal thoughts, they tend to get that impression... I still don't know why. I guess I didn't know that you would be worried about the same.

Heh. I got scared of magic(k) too after my "experimenting" with it got me into some bad stuff. I had to learn fast just to fix things though; I couldn't abandon it. Now i'm trying to make up for it I suppose, by trying to understand what happened, even as that experience is coming back to haunt me now. ^_^ Ah well. As you said "messing around with things I shouldn't have been".

Don't stress over not telling me you knew about my LJ, It doesn't bother me. So don't be sorry. I guess we both worried about the same thing, huh? I certainly don't think you're crazy. Well, i'll talk to you later. ^_^
