Okay kids, today we are going to talk about reading the stars!

I think astrology and horoscopes are super interesting. It's not my religion or anything, I just think it's fun and neat. It does cause for me to wonder if there actually is some truth to it or if it is all just a crazy coincidence. If anything, horoscopes are just some good advice.

Here is my astrological profile (provided by http://www.horoscope.com/)!!!!

Deeply intuitive and sentimental, Cancer can be one of the most challenging Zodiac signs to get to know. Emotion runs strong for this sign, and when it comes to family and home, nothing is more important. Sympathetic and empathetic, Cancerians are greatly attuned to those around them. Devotion is the keyword for this sign, making them wonderfully sensitive people to be around.

Cancer Key Words:

Strengths:Compassion, emotional sensitivity, fierce protection of loved ones, tenacity.
Weaknesses:Manipulative, indirect conflict, clinging to the past, insecure, packrat.
Charismatic marks:Medium build, round face, prominent breasts, a tendency to take charge.

Dislikes:Strangers, revealing of personal life, any criticism of Mom.
Best environment:Cancer will always be most comfortable at home, close to family, familiar things, and dear friends.

It's a little bit erie how much this reflects my personality. My horoscope for today seems pretty inspiring.

"To really improve yourself you have to tell yourself to push the limits of your potential farther then you have before. When you reach far, then you have to convince yourself to reach a little further and then a little bit more. Only by doing this can you reach your full potential."

Well, isn't that special? I guess I'd better start stretching if I'm going to be doing all that reaching.

Listening to: "No Sound but the Wind" - Editors


Can you hear the sounds
that escape my trembling lips
or the bones rattling in my skin.
They call for you to notice
the damage.

The man that brought back the ass.

Listening to: "Monster Hospital" -Metric

I get some really lovely calls at work.

Me: Hello, is Thelma there?
Cratchety old lady (possibly Thelma): You obviously don't have any respect for your own ass if you're calling someone right when they get out of the hospital.

What this woman does not know is that I have plenty of respect for my own ass.

please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me

The 90's were perfect...
