Fucking hippies
How do they work?
(They don't, usually).
If this is your chosen form of celebration
I must respect it, brother Ant
*Bows head sagely
Is that today?
Gotta go listen to solaranus
about 7 minutes past 5 this morning
so today over here, but yesterday in parts of the states
Usually get presents and a cake.
You are the sun?
And your birthday is in three months.
Bombshells all over the fucking place.
Did i miss it or is it tonight?
Might travel to stonehenge after work
It was this morning/last night
fuck
well last night was shortest night and today is the longest day
the sun was closest to the tropic of cancer at 05:04 today. Alas although the sun was just up I could not see it :(
From this day on the sun will not be out for as long.
And so people might now see this as the decline of the sun, one could have a story of the year as comprising as two halves
My gf works for English Heritage and has been on as a press officer
at Stonehenge for the last 24 hours. Very excited to hear the stories.
That is a cool job.
Yeah I'm pretty jealous.
She's basically spent 3 years working hard to get there, and it's such a great job.
oh shit so it's all down hill from here?
worst day of the year.
reminds us what a shit country we live in
not really
traditionally if you see the year split into two and anthropomorphise them then you have two male twins, or tanists, who both try to win the goddesses affections (the goddess meaning the whole)
This forms the basis for many different old religeons and tales.
i swear i hadn't seen this fucken post when I wrote mine below about day and night being twins
hippie hivemind!
woah there captain optimism
this weather has convinced me that the sun is getting complacent
I say it's time for us to try a different source of heat and light going forward
worried about your herman?

perhaps they meant German.
Balonz?
I'm pleased to see they're getting rid of the road that runs right next to Stonehenge
(not the 303, the other one, with the car park)
I think that the most important thind for people is to be aware of it, and what it means.
If you miss the sunrise then you can catch up with the sunset.
Its just important that you mark it/acknowledge it in some way.
The only real negative is to be totally unaware that this point of the year has passed
also it's a fallacy to say that the year gets 'worse' after this
we must celebrate night as day, for they are twin siblings
set of
rock worshipping bastards.
is it matthew slaughter or matthew's laughter
