Who am I? On the surface I'm a nature-loving dirt worshipping hippy in search of a good adrenaline rush. That's all I have for now.

Scorpio for this week:

This is a perfect time to brag about what you can’t do and don’t have. Why? Think of it as a way to neutralize any unsavory karma you may have accrued during outbreaks of excessive pride or hurtful arrogance in the past. As an example of how to proceed, I offer you the case of pop singer Enrique Iglesias. When asked by The Sun, a British newspaper, if he would consider being photographed nude for the cover of his future album, he said no. “I could actually have the smallest penis in the world,” he explained. With that as your inspiration, Scorpio, get out there and start boasting in reverse.

I’m sorry, but I have nothing to boast about in reverse. Well, except maybe the size of the room my ego fits in to. I’m gonna have to stretch for this one, seriously, because I’m pretty straight about what I have and have not. Of course, we all know the two facades I have, both, of which, are shown to the world.

And seriously, my ego isn’t that big, it’s just like a puffer fish. When it needs to, it inflates, then goes back to normal.

Sometimes, sitting back and enjoying is not enough. Sometimes, people think you don’t care. Nevermind the fact that the slightest breeze will send me to the ground, and the safest place is sitting down. It happens. It’s a fact of my life, because submitting to someone else, for pure enjoyment isn’t enough. I can’t allow myself to be moved and changed. Doing so just results in appeared apathy. But oddly enough, my mind is made up for me by someone else, not by me.

So be it.

Funniest quote of the day:

I was enjoying your company, you’re like a cool black goth m&m, hard shell and sweet on the inside.

Gotta love kindred. Makes things quite interesting.

Spot the amusement–

Political Quote of the day:

“How much time do you spend watching American Idol, Fear Factor, The Apprentice, Extreme Make-over, Who wants to marry my Dad’s Lover?”

Jeff Greenfield, CNN

Scorpio:

What’s dying within you, Scorpio? Is it a passion that has expired? A dream that has gone to seed? A goal you neglected for so long that it can’t be resuscitated? If it’s time for that part of you to die, help it die. I mean create a ritual in which you formally complete your relationship with it, let go of it for good, and begin the grieving process. In honor of its passing, write a testimonial or draw a symbolic picture, then bury that remembrance in the earth near a tree you love. When you’re done with the funeral, eat the freshest, juiciest pear you can find.

Well, with that, I have an appt to get my hair cut, looks like another 7 inches is going to come out of it. I also have a promotion within the corporate ranks, going to be implementing those changes I wanted to make with the scheduling. I hope I don’t run off therapists, because they’re getting a crack-down, I was always sick and tired of the stereotype of massage therapists, and half the staff fits into it. Not anymore, if you can’t make it to your shift on-time, then it will no longer be your shift. End of story. This also means I’ll have to deal with Sunshine again *eg*, that, I am looking forward to.

I’ve also got my goal that I wrote about the other day. That should kill off a few issues within me, least I hope it will.

Other things I’ve gotten done….care package to MGYSG is off and running, letter to the SSG is off and running, hair appt set, phone call to the assumed # of the MP called – wasn’t his, and emails to interesting guys not near me sent. *sends energy out for return emails*

Debating watching the debates this evening. Granted, it will be shear amusement to watch two guys try to regurgitate what their speech-writers told them to say. I should watch them, just to know what was said, even though neither is getting my vote.

So, I know some of you are wondering how the hell I can be a shy person. Had a couple of people express shock at the fact I’m nervous at calling a person who told me to hunt him down, so I did. Reason, is that I’ve done enough public relations jobs that I know how to fake it. Couple that with being around people I actually know and I change my tune pretty quickly. The better I know a person, the more open I become towards them. All people have to do is recall the first time they met me, and in most of these instances, it was because I sucked up and decided to get out of my house by myself.

I recall the first time I met most of my friends, locally. I went out to meet scourge, after having chatted with him online a bit, and my partner at the time refused to join me (oh dear, I was meeting another….man!). It was at a club, with plenty of chat space, so I parked myself on a sofa in front of the door. There, I had a montieth come up and start chatting, then introducing me to justanotherg33k, poisongirl, and the previously introduced _gothfather_. And off I went. Couple years later, I ended up at a BorderPagans meeting. Thankfully, sunriseata140 was there, and made me comfortable enough to start talking to other people. The rest is history.

Now, I’m just going batty. But I’ve decided that I’m going to start stepping outside of myself and challanging myself. Dragon*Con was one of those moments, did several things I usually would never consider, ever. From here on out, I’m going to make a point of doing something that’s not “me” at least once a week. Should be interesting. And here my parents could never figure out why I didn’t want to go into science. I’d make a great one. 😛

In other news, finally made it back to the gym yesterday. Still not up to par for the full 2-hr workout, but managed about 1.5 hrs and skrimped on the cardio (damned congested lungs). Felt good, and my legs are killing me. Can’t let another month get in the way of lifting, my legs almost collapsed under me on the inverted press, and I was just lifting 95 lbs, nowhere near the full max out. I hate being sick, I feel like a wuss.

Ok, finally Rumsy says something I agree with. He wants to hold elections, regardless, and so does Allawi. If the Iraqi’s want to bitch about not being involved in the elections, then they can get off their ass and kick the insurgents in that area, that are hindering the democratic process, out. If they really don’t want us there and are serious about us leaving and want the elections then they can assist us by helping us quell the riots and insurgency.

In other news, I’m no longer squeaking. I’ve lost my voice. Gotta love the flu, ain’t it grand?

Got the care package all prepped, tomorrow I seal it up and ship it out. Hope they like it! I also need to write my letter to my newly adopted soldier. I now have help in getting things, for those of you who are interested, I’ll post websites for you to donate stuff to, or you can hand it to me and I’ll ship it out. I’m going to see if my boss is willing to help me out, or see if we can set-up an adoption of a local soldier/marine. Or maybe, if they’d help me out with MGYSG.

This is where my issue with the anti-war movement is, I’m not thrilled with the fact we’re over there, but we’re there. Support your fellow citizens who don’t really have a choice of what battle they’re fighting. They are under-prepped because of a congressional budgetary fuck-up that says “we love what you’re doing, but we’re not going to help out by providing you with support. Thanks for volunteering.” I have no issue with the publishing of the coffins coming home, that was a family choice. I take issue with the use of them for propaganda. Respect them, and respect what they are a symbol of, don’t spout off that this is why we shouldn’t be there. Coffins are not a reason we shouldn’t be there, come up with something solid that isn’t a cheap shot to the training and dedication that those men and women went through.

I’ll leave it that. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Interesting….

Scorpio for this week:

“If you stick your finger in the fire,” asked my teacher Ann Davies, “do you then complain that it is unfair when your finger gets burned? Do you call the fire bad?” I think her questions are essential for you to keep in mind between now and your birthday, Scorpio. If you consciously decide there are good, even honorable reasons for you to play with fire, go right ahead and do so. But if there’s a bit of hell to pay as a result, don’t you dare get pissed at the universe or diss God. And please don’t say the fire is evil.
