Spam blocker, my ass Not entirely sure I should be posting on a message board that an email with the aura of a Hitchcock film surrounding it sent me to, but I'm kind of afraid of what will happen if I don't. wouldn't be the first What is this all about?

Sean. And I'm beginning to wonder if they didn't put me in the loony bin when I wasn't looking. Shouldbedeadnothere.

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

A pleasure.

Please, make yourself at home here. You're among friends. And relatives!

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

No offense, but I'd kind of like to stay as far away from...whatever here is as humanly possible.

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Please understand... We're here because we all share a common thread. Past experiences. We've all been on the same road to get here.

[Filter: Baldr]
You've been... seeing things, haven't you? Images and feelings you can't explain? Odd happenings around you?

[Filter: Sif] Even if she is Amber to him. lol

My dreams. Only there. Pieces of things, but none of it means anything to me. As far as odd things? I got this jackass telling me that my mother is in New York and pretty much everything from the email until this point has been pretty goddamned odd.

I knew I should have stayed in the hospital.

Apollo... is Apollo. Sometimes best taken with a few grains of salt. But Lady Frigg trusts him, so I believe he is a good man.

But these dreams. Would you tell me about them? Please?

You say these names like I'm supposed to pull some recognition out of them. Apollo is a Greek god, that much I know. Who is this other person supposed to be? And if this guy is a good man, then he can back off. feel like my brain is on fire

Not much to tell. Nothing concrete and nothing that means anything to me. Flashes of things. A boat. A guy with one eye, who I'm told is Odin. Viking things.

You'll get used to them soon, although the Greeks tend to be a brash lot from what I've seen. But it might behoove you to take a little time to at least get the Wiki versions of the myths to give you some base knowledge. Frigg is the wife of Odin, and the female leader of the Aesir. You know. Your mother. In the absence of Odin, the Norse look to her for guidance.

At least it's a start. Most of us weren't born with a full set of memories. I earned mine as a child, listening to my grandmother's stories--stories I will pass on to my son and stepdaughter. Things will start to make sense over time. The best thing you can do is not try to fight them. They're a part of who you once were and who you are now--and knowing both will help you feel whole again.

Really don't like mythology, so I never really paid attention. I'm sure my mom has a million books on it, but it's not my thing. If and when I get to that point, I'm sure I'll be thrilled. Right now, I really just kind of feel like my mind has given up and someone really thinks it's funny to screw with me.

Being into it or not isn't the point. It's a part of you. And if you're here, it's because someone felt that you were worth saving.

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

Saving? I don't call this 'saving'.

Yes, the... Powers have a sort of an unorthodox way of handling things. But we are in a lot better shape as a group rather than on our own.

I'm only one person. If I am this... Baldr that I was told I might be... what the hell good am I?

[Filter]

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Individually, we're all just one person. I was a fertility goddess best known for who I was married to back in the day. But we all have a part to play in this. Baldr... was the most beloved of our Aesir. He was strong, beautiful and honorable. The sweetest man who ever lived. He had a way of bringing people together, of brightening every room he entered. And... you knew things, just as I did. Your worth is... immeasurable.

[Filter]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

'Immeasurable' because he made people happy? A lot of people make others happy. Doesn't mean they're worth any more or less than the next guy, does it?

[Filter]

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

It's difficult to explain just why, but Baldr was special. Everyone grieved so terribly when we lost you. You'll find your place again. I have faith in you.

So, more pleasant subject... What's your favorite kind of cookie?

[Filter]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

I'm not this guy. Stop it.

Uh... cookie? the hell Sugar, I guess. Why?

[Filter]

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

I'm a professional pastry chef. I own a small bakery franchise. Some people are cake people and other people are pie people, but virtually everyone has at least one kind of cookie that they love.

Sugar, hmm? Very classic. That was one of my first cookie recipes. Are you a plain man, or do you prefer them decorated?

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

Baking is good. People get hungry.

I don't really much mind them either way. Probably not going to turn them down.

[amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com]

Especially this crowd.

If you'd like, I'd be happy to send a box to you for the holidays. You can share them with your friends and family.

Why would I give out my address No, thank you. I appreciate the thought, though. I'm sure they're great.
