Not particularly related to the comic...
But...
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JEN!
^_^ I've been with her for four whole years as of today. We both read OMG's usually, so maybe she'll see it when she wakes up today since she's working all day and I can't be with her. S'alright though.
Blessed Be everyone! Hope today is good for you all too ^^
*~*The hardest things in life to obtain, more often than not, are the most worthwhile*~*

Thank you Mikel, I love you so much. Four more years!! ^^
Happy Anniversary

I said...

...I heart Bring It On! lol

I heart bring it on too : )

Okay, maybe I missed it..
What is Geburah?
"Ahh, paradox resolved. Someone get a mop!"
Geburah
If you want a hint, check the OMGs store. ^_~
"As She drifts through our lives, tossing coins into the air..."
by the by...
is your sig by chance from Beethoven's Last Night?
Oh good, I'm not the only
Oh good, I'm not the only one to have noticed! "Watch them Twist, watch them fall, turning hope into dispair.." etc :D
Why yes, yes it is! I'm glad
Why yes, yes it is! I'm glad someone recognized it.
"As She drifts through our lives, tossing coins into the air..."
Weird
I have never looked it up before, but ye ole Wikipedia mentions Geburah as the spiritual embodiment of the wrath of the Christian god.

Magic is like weaving a song out of light
Not Christian
Geburah outdates Christianity by mellinia, and Kabbalah is used by many Pagans.
fact checking
Kabbalah did not develop until after the beginnings of Christianity. Though there are no obvious Christian influences in the early texts that are the foundation of Kabbalah, there appear to be influences from various other traditions, including Neoplatonism and Gnosticism. It seems likely that the reason the sephirot are ten is because of the Pythagorean tetractys.
Leap year; I can't believe that I did not know it was leap year!
Then again, I am starting to lose track of days...since I now work the graveyard shift at a factory. But now I'm upset, because I as a virgo should Know these things! Oh well...I blame the purple turkeys and Their god for not telling me...Hahaha, eh-hem...Blessed be! ~Fear the Purple Turkeys! For they are conspiring with the sporks to take over the world...~
Oops?
Maybe it's just me...or maybe the god...or goddess of karma is against me...I could have sworn I tried to post a comment yesterday after reading the whole comic in eight days flat. But, I do not see my first attempt showing up. Maybe I said something wrong in it...if so, I am sorry...please forgive this misguided virgo of her mistake.
~If all you love goes away, and yet you still dare to love...I salute you, brave soul...may the gods and goddesses bless you.~
Well, there's this site

It's a branch of the Tree of Life, from Kaballah.

RIP Gary Gygax
Today, March 4, 2008, Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons died. Here is a press release for all you geeks. http://blog.wir...
Shivian, please move this when ya get this updated.
RIP, Gary. May the creator watch over you. An era truly has passed. Your body will live in honor. My brothers and I are spearing a fascimile of your body in place of the real thing to honor your memory. Many tears will be shed with your passing.
-Ambush
Truly a sad day
It truly is a sad day. He will be missed

I guess he failed his Constitution saving throw...
Ouch
I feel bad... he was still running a game!
I also wonder how many other people understood your post...

Geek humor never worries about how many people get the joke! ;)
For example, Stan should discover that Victor had accidentally left the thermostat on Daath.
I got it...
I was merely vaguely thrown that he wrote "Constitution saving throw", rather than just "Con saving throw". I don't think I've ever known anyone to say the whole thing unless they were explaining to newbies.
-gives tribute to a geek hero-
Poor Gary. As he aged, his constitution only got worse, and he was bound to fail a savingthrow... I hope when gets tired of the afterlife and decides to reroll a new char in the great game of life, he gets good stats. But may his genius stay the same.
So... My sign is neon baby -wink-
age bonus'
His con may have faltered, but his wis was never higher.
*sigh*
I was hoping for an anniversary strip today - especially as it is my birthday as well!
It is...
march 11...is it just me or is Shivian falling behind again? grrr...I can't procrastinate if my webcomics aren't up to date!! This means I actually have to go study for midterms now! Nooooooooooo! *sobs to Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring/Adoration of the Earth"*
Yup yup...
Yup... just a whee bit behind... *shifty eyes*

Break
Give the dude a break... he does have a regular job besides OMGs! anyway.. hell catch up.
I know....
I am just stressed and am missing my daily laughter...

congrats
this site is now being blocked by my college's web filter under the "tasteless and offensive" catagory.
Schools
Don't school web filters fall under the "tasteless and offensive" category. As far as I can tell, mine doesn't have a web filter, but we do get watched by the RIAA
Whoa...
I thought that kind of stuff was only for high schools? Is it legal to do that in colleges? It kinda sounds like religious discrimination to me, but I might just be paranoid.
Maybe, maybe not
It depends on where the filter is located. If it's getting pinged in the dorms on the students' private systems, that's definitely a problem. If it's in the library's computer lab, that's not really an issue. The general resources are typically set up to be used only for classwork. Gods know I would have been pissed if someone was looking at porn when I wanted to write a paper.
It's still odd that OMG is being flagged, but I'd guess that the sys admins just add sites to the naughty list whenever they get a complaint. It's a lot easier than actually researching the problem.
net filters
In general, filtering is not done by the local sysadmins, but by purchasing commercial products. Unfortunately, the people producing said commercial products appear to all have conservative biases, so frequently automatically exclude pagan and queer content as "inappropriate." *grrr*
man i haven't been on here in forever . . .
what happened to keeping up to date, shivian? and by the way, i dumped the baptist boyfriend and joined the navy. i'd like to have a few thoughts on the pagan opinion of the military, if you wouldn't mind giving me some comments and thoughts, everybody.
-->He is YOUR god, they are YOUR rules, YOU burn in hell!<--
as a military pagan,
MY opinion is obvious. I'm a wicca lay leader on board the USS Carney (DDG-64). If you have any problems, or need to contact me for any reason, I'm sure I can find a way to get you my contact info without posting it here.
don't be too taken aback by
don't be too taken aback by the whole military thing. i too am in the navy and you would be suprised to find out how many pagans are currently serving. we are finally getting a lot of appreciation coming our way from the military community. progress is great^^. if you ever have any questions or just want to get more out into the pagan community within the navy just email me on outlook under HN Scinta. im the only one so should be no problem finding me. lol.

ex navy girl
i'm an ex-navy girl i knew of three other people who were wiccan when i was in the navy course at the time i had no clue what that meant i just knew it was something the girls didn't want getting around. about 3 years later i found out that is was kinda what i believed in and figured out a few years after that, that i was norse pagan
the crazy mail pagan
Had to reply to this
When I went thru boot camp for the Navy in 1997, there were (counting me) 3 pagans in the same group. For the first time ever, there were enough "wiccans" to actually be able to submit someone to represent us one Sundays. It was the first time this had ever happened, and to be honest they were not sure what to do with the lone guy walking around identified as Wiccan next to the large number of Baptists, Catholics, Methodists, etc. Of course, 7 weeks later I was discharged due to medical reasons, but still...
Updates
Shivian I know your busy. But I miss my daily dose of Oh My Gods! How am I supposed to get through my day with my sanity, and the bodies and psyches of those around me, intact without my Oh My Gods?

Ok...
I talked to him the other day. He's been pretty sick, and unable to do much of anything for the last week or so. So, for those who are about ready to use pitchforks and torches to take Shiv down... relax. He'll be up a postin sooner or later here.
Ooooh...
Well I hope he gets better! I don't think anyone's going to resort to pitchforks and torches. I mean, he's missed more days than this before, so it's not really that bad. He needs to concentrate on getting better. *huggles Shivian*
