So you still can't pick your songs huh? That kind of stuff is easy for me. I'm pretty set when it comes to music. Every once in awhile I will listen to something new and like it.
I clicked on to my daughers myspace (she's 18) and noticed she totally ripped off my play list! I had to rib her about it, because it should be the other way around!

LOL, I’m still laughing about the jumping jacks…anyway…

I have been known to sleep better after I've had a full day of physical stuff and fresh air, but you know, sometimes that just isn't always possible.

I also notice I sleep better on a full stomach. Not good for ones waistline, true, but it has worked for me.
The more issues on my mind, the worse I sleep. Seems like I O.C.D. my brain with constant variations of what I should of said/done in certain daily situations. Which evolves into what I should/will say or do next time....and on and on.
If someone has upset me, hurt my feelings in some profound way, forget it, I am not going to sleep well at all.
I don't really get this because I am not one to keep things in, believe me, but I think my desire to please and keep the peace sometimes compromises my principals on what I really feel and want to say. *sighs* they say admitting you have a problem is the first step, lol....

So your off the Scorps for good huh? Not likely for me, unless I want to disown the majority of my friends and family. I just figure it is some kind of karma and I have to live with it. Maybe I'll become all attitude and sarcasm myself, you know, if ya can't beat em, join em!

Well, I hope this post made sense, since my head is stopped up and I haven't even been on the computer, or tried communicating with the humans in my house for about 20 hours! <:

They went to the grocery store last night, and asked me if I wanted anything....I asked for chicken noodle soup and ice cream. THEY FORGOT BOTH OF THEM! I was highly miffed and removed myself from their presence immediately! I think they ate spagettios for dinner or something, I didn't check! (my 18 year old needs practice on feeding people since she is pregnant, so I just left it in her hands!)

It sounds like you’ve summed up Moon in Libra - for me as well! I could not have put it any better than that!

I can’t say that I’ll completely give up on Scorpios but I think that in order to get involved with one they have to have a fire or air Moon. The one I knew had a water moon (Pisces) so he felt that it was okay to be a crybaby alcoholic. I know, I am sure not all Scorpios with Pisces moons are not like that. Actually, I know they aren’t – my best guy friend is a Scorpio with Pisces moon and rising. He is a big crybaby and a HUGE stalker but he’s not an alcoholic . I wonder what my Scorpio’s rising sign was (we’ll never know - birth certificate issues) because he had fire and air placements – Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Libra, Mars and Neptune in Sagittarius – what was wrong there? But then again, it was LIBRA! LOL, I don’t know, I really don’t want to over think it since it is completely over. So I’ll change that – the Scorpio I would consider dating should have an earth moon and fire placements…Yikes, I need to stop building the perfect Scorpio here, I need a nice Leo, Aries or a Sag with a strong Saturn or a Capricorn with a strong Sun or Jupiter. I know I am a bubble-brained, overly optimistic dipstick most of the time (Aquarius rising, Libra Moon – I am a lot of air and fire). I need someone who is like, “okay, that won’t work because…” blah, blah, common sense, blah. I don’t want a total wet blanket or someone who wants to turn me into a Stepford wife that is why I need the fire. I want someone to play with, but I need the common-sensical smackdown at times, someone to pull in the reigns. Two crazies won’t work! I guess that is why I have Saturn in the 8th or the 7th in Placidus. I have Venus conjunct the dc and Sun, Mercury and Jupiter in the 7th so the guy shouldn’t be too bad!

I wonder if I’ll ever meet him, I have been such a hermit lately!

I like to think of you building the perfect scorpio in your head. That is just priceless.
Let me know how he turns out when your done building him.
I have created my own scorpio, that is, by giving birth to him.
Whew, he is as follows:
Sun/Scorp
Asc/Scorp
Moon/Cap
Merc/Libra
Venus/Scorp
Mars/Sag
Jupiter/Sag
Saturn/Pisces
Uranus/Cap
Nept/Cap
Pluto/Scorp
N.Node/Libra

Now what do you think of that??
I'm biased of course, but he is my favorite person on earth, and def my soulmate, not in a yucky way, but he=me.
He's a charmer, has to beat them off with a stick. Even his teachers just completely fall in love with him.
He has such a loving heart. He adores animals and babies, and he's just an all around good dude, and smart as a whip.
Sometimes he has to explain movies to me! He can figure things out so quick!
We do not even have to speak, we can look at each other and know what the other one is thinking, which sometimes can be weird.
Like if he does something wrong, but I'm secretly amused by it, yet I have to correct him cause it is only fair to the other kids, he knows it!!!
He knows everything about me I think! Pretty strange creatures, those scorps...

and this other one I deal with, he has a cancer moon, which apparently is a curse bestowed upon me by the karma Gods, I don't like other peoples Mothers and yet I keep finding men who are in love with theirs, sigh.
But he has Moon and Venus in Sag, so alot of fun. Don't think he will ever settle down though, just an observation. I really like hanging out with him, he is wicked funny and so observative, just like that mini-scorp I made.
The two of them together is something to behold. It is like watching Beavis and Butthead.
You can't say any words that rhyme with swear words or body parts, or they start simultaneously giggling. I'm supposed to be the adult (hey, how'd I get stuck with that???) and not encourage them, but, alas, I am a captive audience, and soon find myself joining in.
We usually run everybody out of the room with bathroom humour and things like that.
What can I say, I'm a big kid too.

Aww, that is so sweet Gypsee! It is like that movie “Switch” where this playboy is reincarnated as Ellen Barkin and the only way he’ll get to heaven is if he finds a woman who loves him…it makes sense if you’ve seen the movie! Anyway, I guess in order to have “the perfect Scorpio” in your life you have to – make him yourself! At least your son has the Moon, Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn – that should calm him down a bit! Lol …and yeah, the one thing I can say about my Scorp was that he was really, really smart, actually most of the Scorpios I know are that super-smart type of person.

Oh, and I totally understand the power of a “get it?” joke! I don’t think I’ll ever be too old for that!

Oh man…

1) s. AC conj n. Venus – It is a wide conjunction (orb7) but hmm, will I look pretty(-ier, lol)? Actually that means that my s. AC is conjunct n. DC as well, is it that year? I’ll find out, I have 10 ¾ months to find out!

2) s. Venus conj n. Mars – orb 3 - not too bad. So would this be like Venus joining Mars in my 5th temporarily, for the year? Venus and Mars in the 5th sounds promising…

3) s. Mars conj n. Juno – orb 1 - whoa. That is pretty cool. Cool because Juno and Mars are both in my 5th natally but not conjunct.

4) s. Psyche conj n. Psyche – orb 3 – a Psyche return year. Psyche is in my 1st house natally and in my 7th in my solar return chart. Psyche = soul love? “Soul seeking completion” is what I have read…hmm…

13) s. Union conj n. Vertex – orb 7
14) s. Union conj n. Union – orb 4
15) s. Saturn conj n. Union – orb 4

Here are some crazy ones:

1) s. Lick conj n. Jupiter – orb 0 – aww yeah, just as I suspected, lol (see: s. Jupiter conj n. Kama)
2) s. Venus conj n. Lick – orb 0 – this is getting too funny!
3) s. Child conj n. Child – orb 1 - …not so funny (maybe a little, lol) Guess I have to be careful - I won’t have too much fun! Uh-oh, and my Solar return Moon is in the 5th! Aahhh!

There are so many trines, sextiles and semi-sextiles that I decided to focus on conjunctions!

Oh lord, how jealous I am. Does your pencilcase smell the same way mine did when I was little? So what are you studying? Film?

I say get your arse out there and date, what's to lose? Are there any hotties in your class to crush on? I miss studying just for the flirting to be honest. I never would have done so well if not for Library Stud who had a long blonde ponytail and was a dead ringer for Anthony Kiedis. We never ever spoke for 3 years, but we sat next to each other quite frequently, sexual tension OMG. Remember cassette tapes and Walkmans? Well if I'd bring in a tape to listen to, the next day he'd bring one in by the same band. So strange. I was obsessed. Oh I miss those days.... Library Stud, thank you for my college degree, I never would have got it if not for you-hoo.

Yeah, metric never really reached the British Isles, so we speak American here, feet n inches.

Please do tell when your doing classic horror. That was my favorite film class. I still have my papers.

I am taking “Cultural Diversity: American Musicals” as my Arts and Humanities requirement. Anything so I don’t have to read a “real” book. No – I love musicals and this course caught my eye right away. I have to watch “The King and I” for next week and after that is “West Side Story” which I own already (the “Special Edition: DVD Collectors Set”, lol) and know by heart.

I am actually a psychology and health major. I can’t seem to get away from the health thing. My first degree is in health sciences and that didn’t leave any wiggle room. I didn’t want to work in a hospital or anything like that so I got a degree in psychology and sociology (behavioral sciences) because there is so much leeway with that, just add an “emphasis” (like human resources or marketing) and you can work anywhere. I actually have the most credits in health related stuff (Drugs in America, Contemporary Health, Nutrition, etc.). Those are the most fun classes to me. I think it is because the glossy, colorful health textbooks hold my attention better than anything (”pretty, colorful vegetables”). I wish I was kidding about that, lol! I love psychology but it can be very boring so my interest is waning. Health is always fun, but it is not glamorous enough. Leo needs the glamour! Sociology is also fun (and there are usually colorful textbooks for that too!). Let’s face it - I’ll be in school forever!

I have had so many false starts – I went to school for architecture and found out that I can’t draw. Not that I can’t but I am not that precise. I think you need precision when designing a building, right? Anyway, there is some truth to the “Leo sees the big picture, not the details” thing. I went for communications. That was mainly for my mom – she was living out her dream of being a female sportscaster through me, lol. I didn’t like it..Then came elementary school teaching but that is not for me. I only did that because they drilled it in our heads in high school that “If you actually want a job after college, you should be a teacher or a nurse!”. Truer words were never spoken I found out…

So here I am jobless and desperate. Still not sure of what to do at age 30. Whatever. It will just come to me one day – I hope!

Wheels – Welcome back! I am a little like Sally. I usually can’t decide what I want at (real) restaurants so I make my friends, family or date choose (Moon in Libra) but when it comes to fast food or delis I am a “hold the ___” and “extra ___, but not too-too much” person! Lol. At Burger King my favorite thing is: “Big Fish with cheese, no lettuce, heavy tartar and an orange soda, no ice” lol. I am more like Tina Fey in “Baby Mama”, or anything really, now that I think about it! Sometimes I see myself in Monica Gellar, not often but sometimes…

I was a psych major too, I didn't find it boring at all, but the jobs I could get, I didn't want.
Plus we went on a field trip to the psych ward, I still have nightmares.
I switched majors so many times, my councelors cringed visibly when I walked into the room.

That is part of the reason I didn't finish, I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up.
so don't feel bad.

The King and I is AWESOME. Course I have an unatural and unhealty love for him. I would watch the ten commandments just to lust after him and his calves.

ah well, so you got a type, you like what you like for a reason. Mine is pretty close to yours, minus the body hair.
Blonde dudes, YUCK!
Except for Billy Idol, but I think he uses a bottle.

And You know what, you saying you don't want to date or have a relationship is ringing a bell somewhere in irony heaven, and they will purposely send you one.
It is always when you least expect it, and can least fit it into your life. Always.

High school boyfriend (Capricorn):

Everyone (me included) thought that he looked like Eric Nies from The Real World NY but he was obsessed with…

…and he really thought he was him in Point Break. He chased after me, like all Capricorns have since then, lol. Seriously, he went to a different school (ooh) saw me “on the mall” (this was in the ‘burbs) and he found out who I was and got my number from a mutual friend! Damn stalker! LOL, no he was great, lots of fun, funny, sweet…

After high school boyfriend (Leo):

People said that he looked like a lot of people…

I thought he looked like:

He was the one who got along with my family, I wrote about him before on the prev page. People thought he was so gorgeous – older women thought he looked like a young Peter Gallagher and I can see the eyebrows and the light eye thing, and younger girls said he looked like Johnathan Schaech (again the eyebrows, eyes) or Chris Evans. But I now that I think back he reminds me of Sacha Baron Cohen. He has his same tall, skinny build and wide mouth and the same teeth. I noticed this when I was watching an old episode of Ali G and he was playing Bruno in this American military gun place acting fruity with one of the guys there and he just reminded me so much of the Cap! Can’t you picture him saying “You are my only b*tch…” in such a serious way. He was so funny…Sadly, it didn’t work…

posted September 08, 2009 03:24 AM            

He looked like Zach Braff and everyone told him that and I agreed. He looked just like him except he wore glasses sometimes. We could talk a lot about pop culture and light fluffy stuff and that was fun but he sucked. He was such an a**. He thought he was so great because he was the youngest architect at his firm and he didn’t take anything seriously. He was also a terrible kisser and a terrible lover. I got into a car accident and he was more concerned with the car that was involved…see ya!

Flingy-thingie (Gemini)

He looked like Josh Hartnett to me. They had the same head shape and those small eyes and brow thing. He was tall and had a nice body. He was a guitarist in a bar band that I met when I was drunk (gotta love those early 20s!). He played some song for me, an original that he wrote (supposedly). It was cute. We were only short term “buddies”. He was a little quiet and brooding for a Gemini, prob had a water rising or Moon. Again, not-so-great “performances” by a Gemini, they leave me unimpressed. I don’t remember his last name…

A “ginger” in the mix! Oh man, me and this guy used to make tentative plans then bail all of the time. Then I’d found out that he slept with someone I knew and that was a huge turn off. Everything happens for a reason, we were better off as friends. Especially given my intimate history with Geminis (blech)… He looked like Eric Stoltz – he had the dark red hair and crystal blue eyes, pale, chin cleft. He was another bui-HILT guy, he boxed in his spare time…

Then came him (Scorpio)

Plus…

= Jerk…
