Matchmaker matchmaker make me a match

Yes, dating in the paganworld is an absolute nightmare. It is a very small pond I am fishing in and most good fish have gone already. So should I settle with less? NO WAY. But still, wouldn't it be nice to wake up next to someone that understands my believes and knows where I am coming from.

The dating issue came up in an online female pagan group. I found out I am really not the only one with this problem. We just can't find the single pagan men.... where are they!

In our discussion we found that it would be a great idea to have some kind of pagan matchmaking service to help a lot of us single ladies in the process. So, who knows any single guys (looking in all age groups) because there are a lot of lovely ladies looking for that special one to make a connection with!

And for me, well, I just wait my time and hope to find someone to love :).

My valentine's resolution

As you probably know, I am a headcovering pagan with a single status. And around valentine's day that sucks big time. I would love to have a significant other but unfortunately I still haven't found the One for me.

I have been trying the online dating world for some time now. I have gone on some dates and have chatted like crazy to maybe find Him. Until this week I discovered my mentality has changed big times. Before I was always looking for the One and willing others to like me or to love me. I would say things to please the other but always trying to keep it close to myself. I was afraid for rejection even from online guys I have never met!

Well that changed one week ago. I noticed guys always asked the same first or second question: "what do you do for a living?". As having a great career or even a fascinating job will make you a better person (o, believe me, I have an awesome job that not many can call theirs). Like having a steady income is something that is required before you start dating. Like dating is more about stability and money then it is about love.

I decided that when I got asked that question, I just simply wouldn't answer it as it has no value in the dating process. I really can't care if people online think I am a bitch but I can't see why my job is more important then I am.

So my valentine's resolution is: not acting like I am someone else and just say what I like and dislike instead of honeymouthing and not answering that stupid question anymore!!!

I know my strong and weak spots and people just need to love me as I am!

What to do with my time

Getting my wisdom tooth removed gives me some time to reflect and to think about what I want to do. I don't do so good with too much time on my hands. So what to do instead of feeling sorry and laying on my cough.

Yup, start blogging again. Yesterday I saw a movie about blogging and it got me thinking. I have a lot of interesting stuff to say. It's not like my life is completely standard. Me being a headcovering pagan with a lovely bunny baby, being single in the Netherlands. Yup, I can do so much worse. So from now one I will try to write at least once a month on this blog.

So for my first entry:

This year us dutchies don't have a winter. It has only been freezing one night! So, where are the ice giants?

The ice giants are (as the Edda says) the responsible party when it comes to cold in the winter. The story goes that Donar/Thor has to hit them with his hammer to get them to leave in a huge battle to get life started again. It's called breaking the back of winter. But this year winter hasn't started yet. I don't know why, it can be global warming or just a strange thing this year. Also because it hasn't been this cold in years and years in America. Are those two intertwined? Maybe the Ice giants have all decided to visit America.

I am so not complaining as I don't like extreme colds or hots. I love the rainy days so today I am extra blessed.

On another note, I am coming to the USA in a couple of years and I am starting a new blog about my progress going over there, The idea is that me and a good friend are going to take a 3 month roadtrip through the country and visit all the places we have seen on television and to meet some lovely people we both know. Most of them come from the headcovering community although not all cover :).

And yes, this rambling has been made possible by my good friend codeine ;).
