Month: April 2003

Scorpio for week of April 24th:

In my astrological opinion, it’s a perfect time to introduce more experimentation into your most promising relationship. To stimulate your imagination, here are a few ideas you and your companion might want to try together. 1. Go outside just after midnight, wail five loud cock-a-doodle-doos, then run back inside before you’re caught. 2. Describe to your friend or partner a detailed vision of his or her best possible future. Ask for the same treatment in return. 3. Borrow the approach of the religions that have rituals of eating their gods. Buy a pastry that makes your mouths water, perform a ceremony in which you invite a divine spirit to enter into it, then slowly devour it while gazing in each other’s eyes.

So, I’ve managed to secure my Ozzfest ticket, meet up with djaesthetic for lunch and sympathy, find my email not up yet – though, I’m at least getting a pseudo-real page, as opposed to the fucked up version of register.com’s home page – and as a result of that, I was finally able to get an email to them asking what the hell is up with their servers. Guess they made the decision to not post a “We’re updating” page, or whatnot, and instead let things be confusing and fucked up. Needless to say, I will definitely begin focusing on getting my Linux server up so I can give myself email access instead of relying on outside server registries.

So, I’m doing well today. My hands are sore from facing the ceiling, my legs and back are sore from yoga. Tomorrow is my therapy session, which I’ve been looking forward to for several weeks. I’ve decided that I’ll give it till Sunday before opening up the journal again. I figure that two – three weeks should be enough to get those, who need it, out of the habit of reading my journal. Anyway, tomorrow, I pick up my Ozzfest ticket, and potentially my Opeth ticket. Which, reminds me, I’ll also need to call the Marine to find out if he’s interested in joining me. Otherwise, I’ll be there on my lonesome to meet up with any of you who show up. And by then, I’ll be purple!!!!!!! I hope.

Well, no cat, and I’m no Michelangelo….but now I do have something in common with him. Sitting and staring at a ceiling for hours on end. *grin* Worked a bit more on it this morning, not for several hours, though. I’m doing stuff I shouldn’t, like watching Dangerous Beauty, and pondering means of occupying my mind, and not succeeding. But, alas, I would have made a wonderful courtesan. *sigh* I guess I just have to stick with my fantasies. So, anyone bored enough to want to help me with a ceiling?

Ok, I’m really starting to feel my physical age (much older than I look). Spent the last 2 – 3 hours standing on a ladder facing the ceiling and scraping. Granted, it’s good meditation to think on things, but damn, I HURT!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, the bathroom looks cool. Now to just clean out the tub 😛

Ok, happy b-day djaesthetic! Glad to have “helped” treat you to a good surprise last night. *wink*

In other news, I’m doing pretty good. My mood has been improving of late, which I’m happy for. I’m awake fairly early today. Last night, set-up my tattoo appointment for May 2, so not only do I get to begin the next season as a dedicated Druid, but I also get to start with two new triskele’s on me and purple hair! Man, that is going to be one expensive weekend. I’m covering for my tattoo (savings already reached), the John Matthews seminar (already paid for), and the Nightwish/ProgPower Concert. I’m also setting aside some cash for Ozzfest. Must see Disturbed, and the Marine will be there. So, while the ex will be there, at least I’ll get to say hi to him. And maybe I’ll get lucky and meet some cool people. Oh yeah, that weekend also brings Opeth concert. I guess I should pick those tickets up when I pick up the Ozzfest tickets. Cheers!

Scorpio for the week:

“Want to get the most out of your upcoming adventures, Scorpio? Then adopt an outlook that combines the objectivity of a scientist and the “beginner’s mind” of Zen Buddhism. To pull this off, you’ll have to suspend your theories about the way the world works. Realize that what you’ve learned in the past won’t be a reliable guide to understanding current events. Be skeptical of your biases, even the benevolent ones. Try to see the naked truth, stripped of the interpretations that your emotions might be inclined to impose.” compliments of Freewill

Ya know, I believe this is the only astrology stuff that actually makes sense and I can apply to my life. 😛

A note before disappearing:

I woke up from a great dream about the pup, only to quickly disintegrate back to reality. So, I’m not much of a happy camper today. I should be because I’m about to go camping. But, we’re “not in much of a hurry” so I’m still sitting at the house, at noon. Apparently there are going to be thunderstorms tonight, which doesn’t bother me, I’m going regardless. Another good thing, my new shirts from lip service showed up today and they actually fit. So, now I have a new PVC shirt and a nifty new “gothy” shirt. Those are the positives of today, which I need to increase because right now I’m extremely negative, and I shouldn’t be. I’m in the process of potentially adopting a new cat, a black one. Why? Because I honestly am giving up the fact that Alpine will come home. He’s a gorgeous cat and I highly doubt that someone is going to be honest enough to see my sign with his picture and call me. (It’s that whole misanthropy thing). I still have the chocolates that the pup gave me, need to finish eating them. Next week’s check is going to Ozzfest tickets. Seems co-worker Heather will be going, by herself – least for now, so we figured we could meet up there should be both be there alone. I’m also getting the feeling that the Scotsman is not reading this much because I’ve put so much here and none of it gets talked about. He hasn’t even congratulated me on the grove dedication yet, though, he did ask if he needed to be there for the all-nighter, which he can’t (grove policy), because I mentioned it was an all-nighter last night. I’m beginning to think I just need to start doing more on my own, outside of cleaning this house, seems it’s going to be the only way I can feel any inch of self-completion because we do nothing together anymore. This camping trip is going to be a small thing, need to start climbing again because we’ve let that fall by the way-side, again. Gods, I’m just living my own life, least, that’s what it feels like. The only difference is there’s someone else willing to pay for stuff, which is leaving me feeling obligated to something because of the monetary investment. Separation, that is what I’m feeling, almost complete and utter separation. Partially because I’ve been turning away in my pain, it’s almost all internal right now, shutting down on almost every level. I just don’t feel anything anymore, honestly, it’s like every flutter I’ve had is gone. I manage to work myself up during the day to come home excited, and then I get here and it parks itself next to the door to be picked up on the way out. That is not how love is supposed to work. I know Jacob is right and that I do love deep down inside, but I can’t reach it right now and I really need to. Right now is not the time that it needs to be hiding. It’s a fucking pattern again, I skitzed when Thorn was going to move out here, and I skitzed – for good reason – when the idiot moved out here, and now I’m skitzing when I’m getting ready to move. When the concept was first discussed, I had no issues with it, but now it seems I am. I know it’s tied in with everything that was going on in the past few weeks, so, do I really have that many committment issues? I’m honestly thinking I am, I don’t know why because there’s never been too much of an issue, even with those of the past. They weren’t traumatizing for me, well, except for David, but I was still able to move on from that. The WB, in all her lacking wisdom, actually managed to make me do a double take yesteday. Her comment was, “We’re 25, we still don’t know who we are yet. They’re 30, by that point, most people have figured that part out. You’re still searching, don’t lock yourself down when you don’t know who you are.” Stunned me that she actually made sense for once.

On another positive note, called the Marine, he still has my number on speed dial. Guess that counts for something, doesn’t it?

Now for today:

Beltaine is going to be an all-night affair. I have ritual, dedication, then the next morning, bright and early, vervain rites. Woohoo!!!!! Now, camping for the next two days. Hopefully this can resolve stuff for me.
