Ok, I’m frustrated. Masking tape is not meant to be used on walls when trying to paint. I’m limited on my paper tape, but it works much better. Apparently, I’m not allowed to display the fact that I’m frustrated with something, because then I stress out those that live with me, and it becomes me being angry at them. Not that I am, I just feel that I function better when I actually let the emotions out, vs. holding them in and then transferring them to some small, inconsequential issue that normally wouldn’t even get a second glance. So, instead of me just voicing my frustrations at a certain object, I’m suddenly angry at specific people because they just happen to be in the same room as me, at that given moment. So, is my room done like I’d hoped? Nope. I’m thinking I’m going to skip tonights festivities to get it done, though, I’m ready to pass out from lack of food, even though I’m eating now. I’ve been ecstatic to have my room done this weekend. It means meditation space, me space, and study space. To have it prolonged any longer is very irritating, I shouldn’t have bothered sleeping in this morning. I should have dragged my ass out of bed at 9.30 when I originally woke up, but no, I went back to sleep. Fuck me.

Scorpio week of July 3rd:
“You’re like an arrow in flight, Scorpio. You’re a half-cooked feast, the fifth month of pregnancy, the week before a big election. When I turned my psychic vision towards you just now, I saw an image of a worker bee freshly returned to the hive to perform the dance that will tell its companions where to find a patch of blooming snapdragons. Have you ever mastered a second language? Where you are at this moment resembles the time right before you attain fluency.”

Now, this is one I can see. I’m almost done with my room, which means more clean space in the house. And, it means I’ll be ready to open business, eventually! Home sweet Home.
My ceiling is purple.
In other news, and along the tangent of a previous post….I was watching a toddler walk through my store today, and I realized. She’s walking properly!!! Now, I’m sure that seems weird, but she was. First her toes, then her heels, bouncing around in front of my counter. As I was watching her, I realized that when we’re young, we actually have pretty good movement mechanics, and then slowly replace them with bad movement mechanics. Now, while our bodies are different from our quadreped counterparts in the animal kingdom, the movement of our legs is, for the most part, the same. They’re the power source for major movement with our ankles, knees and hips providing us with shock absorbing abilities. That’s why sprinters are told to run on their toes, they get a quicker and more powerful movement through that route. So, why have we ditched our natural method of walking? Got me. I’d venture to guess that it’s the way we’ve suited ourselves to our environment. However, it’s also resulted in horrendous posture, shin splints, tired heels, and various knee problems. The problems work their way upward, thanks to the fact that many of us put most of our body weight on our heels, instead of somewhere over our arches. And then off to one side or the other, instead of in the middle.
So, now comes my challange. As you all stand, during the day, or walk, notice where your weight is going. Is it evenly distributed between the ball of your foot and your heel? Is it evenly distributed across the ball of your foot? When you walk, do you walk heel to toe? What sensations do you notice when your heel first contacts the surface your walking on? Attempt to walk toe to heel, even if you have to do it barefoot. How does that feel? What sensations (besides it feeling odd) do you get when you walk this way?
Utilizing the answers, come up with a method of change to make standing and walking more comfortable. Trust me, it’ll feel good.
So, the ceiling is now done. Well, the rest of the sanding needs to be done and then Thursday I can begin the actual painting. I’m very ready to have my own personal space. Not that I don’t have personal space, but this will be all mine, only to be shared with a young girl that I may or may not meet. The good thing, is that, by the end of this week, I will have meditation space and will be able to set aside more study time for my hobby studies.
In other news, I got a polite lecture from my mum about being financially independant. The ironic thing is that I asked for my monthly allowance to be decreased, which she didn’t do. With the new living arrangement, I can pretty much subsist without her help and my business is starting to to take in more money. I think I’m going to give it a couple more months, and just split up my current monthly into a bi-monthly or a tri-monthly. I keep my budget low, the only major expense I’m saving for is a new car, and my monthlies on that will be pretty low, given what I’ve got for the downpayment. Such is the life.
I honestly don’t get some people. Then again, some people are not meant to be gotten, and some people are to just be ignored. Though, at least my theory that several people who claim intelligence lack the basic ability of reading comprehension. Of course, that would require reading the entire selection and not just what one wants to see on the page. N’est pas?
So, I’ve now seen 28 days. Was quite cool in a Heart of Darkness kind of way. Nothing much to give away, however, if you want to see a zombie flick, this is not it because it is not a zombie flick. Very interesting on the mental capacity, gave me food for thought, which I love. Nice cerebral movie.
Last night in chat, an interesting topic came up. Energy Healing. Since it only ended up being a limitedly involved topic, I’d like to go into some of my viewpoints on it. Read more…
Well, yesterday was good. Got to voice off to moonbird, and later was able to have a sobering convo with the Big Cat. I still feel a bit used, but I feel better about it. We’ll see where it goes and whether or not I deem things worthy of continuing, or whether there’s any worth in changing things.
In other news, I hate the company that I register one of my domains with, I might make the decision to move that if they’re going to keep being a bitch.
Hmmmmm…I believe it’s time for full-on ignore again. My fav game has gotten a bit boring, and the players aren’t allowing me to use my full abilities to play….
Horoscope for the week of June 26, 2003
“At a recent outdoor party, the host’s German shepherd shuffled over to me and dropped something at my feet. Crouching down, I found a tiny twig. It dawned on me that the dog wanted to play “fetch.” I plucked the twig off the ground and threw it as far as it would go, which was only about two feet; it wasn’t heavy enough to carry any further. The dog moseyed over, delicately snagged it in his teeth, and returned to me for another round. I was mystified. Why didn’t he bring me a decent-sized stick that I could hurl a great distance so we could enjoy the full pleasures of “fetch”? I pose an analogous question to you, Scorpio: Isn’t it time to expand the parameters of your favorite game?”

Ok, livejournal sucks at the moment. Anyway, congrats to the Supreme Court for reminding our governments that they can’t sanction religious viewpoints in the law. My congrats go out to all my gay and lesbian friends who might have, or find, someone they wish to marry. You’re one step closer, south of the border. Why? because of this!. Not to mention, it tells states that they can’t fucking sit in anyone’s bedroom!
