Sharp Detour To The Right. . .
Okay everyone that has been on this journey with me, brace yourselves: the road we are travelling is about to detour to the right, and it's quite a sharp turn. For those of you who know me well you know that as well as the "Anne of Green Gables" books, I love the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" television series and so our two story-lines are about to converge. Hang on......
You see this is the problem. There is someone in my life who doesn't fit any of my Anne characters so instead of always referring to him as "him", I thought I needed to find a name especially since he will figure prominantly in my story line in the coming weeks and months. So in looking towards Buffy I found the perfect character (he would hate this, but since he never reads this) Giles -- he he.
So here is why he has now morphed into Giles, because of who Giles is to Buffy. He is the wise counsellor, and watcher who helps her fight the vampires and demons that invade her town. So even though I don't have actual demons and vampires invading Green Gables, there are so to speak the demons of the mind that seem to invading my mind (in a manner of speaking). Today I also learned that someone new is entering the process but I already have a name for him too -- Wesley. Watcher number two. His real name even sounds like a Wesley -- geeky, but if he's not geeky then I'll just make him Wesley from the Angel series who was dramaticly different from Wesley when we first meet him in Buffy.
Anyhow, Giles would research what forces Buffy was dealing with and then help her in conquering them and this is basically what this guy is doing for me now. He is helping me sort myself out, my demons and get my life on track so he's my watcher. Since my last blog I have decided to let go of fighting this process and trust my watcher that through his research he will lead me down the path that I need to go down. So that is where I am today, I went in with an attitude of trust and co-operation and we are going to try to work really hard to get to the other side of this. Even though this is extremely scary for me, especially bringing someone else, Wesley in when I don't know him as well and don't have any trust in him yet. However Giles trusts him and so for now I will trust that.
For those of you who are still on the road despite the detour stay tuned for further developments as they happen.
