Well, I love that you know you can do it. That's the important thing. When you're done with your lapse you can go right back to it. I think our diets require some degree of self forgiveness to get over the humps. I ate right yesterday except for on my date. In fact, she ate something I could have had to fit my diet while I went for my favorite, the blackened chicken burger.Well, she suggested meeting at a sports pub that had come up in conversation previously. They have great food, so that was cool with me. Later on I realized that my hockey game would be on, so bonus for me , but potential downside for her . Conversation was pretty easy. Her Sun is at 10 degrees Sag, the location of my Venus. My Mercury is at 17 Sag, so communication shouldn't be difficult. Our Neptunes are conjunct. There were some lulls, though. Not particularly awkward or anything; just lulls. I think both of us were wondering how it was going. At least that's the impression I got when I asked if we should plan our next get together, and saw her face light up. The only physical contact came when talking about the fact that I might have bruised my hand in my bike fall on Thursday. I've noticed weird thumb nerve pain unexpectedly a number of times in the last few days, and yesterday I noticed a bit of blueness in my thumb area. She took my hand, and started doing an examination, and telling my about accupressure points and carpel tunnel and all this. Cool. So when we left, she walked me to my bike (weird to ride a bike to a date; but Sag's are one of the signs that would be ok with it), and then I walked her to her car. She kissed me before I was expecting it, and that was a little awkward, but funny to me, too, so that's cute. We tried a couple more times. It didn't quite work. We'll have to work on it. Good date over all.  IP: Logged |

Great person. Instant connection, not a blip in communication and there is definately an attraction. Synastry is pretty great. Composite has Mercury opposite Venus, Sun Conjunct Mercury, Moon in the 3rd, Venus conj. pluto, Sun in 10th and Venus in 5th.. Lots of energy energy energy! Pretty positive experience all around. Oh, and he's a dad. Yay! IP: Logged |

How bizarre!I have not popped in here for a good few weeks and what do I find? Everyone's dating. AG - yours sounds really cute. Ghani - yours sounds how I wanted mine to be! I had a date on Sunday. We have been talking for a while, but circumstances were complicated. We decided it best to meet up to see if there was any chemistry before trying to get past the complications. It was really comfortable and easy, but no chemistry for me. I was GUTTED (that might be an English word, sorry if it is). I have hurt him, it makes me feel bad. For while there I thought it was something special. We have agreed to try really hard at being friends, see how it goes. At least I tried! 4 weeks and counting..........  IP: Logged |

 Well, there's a reason for staying! I do say more here than on Facebook. I honestly don't like people knowing all my business. I know I put out a lot of information on myself, but most of it's here -out of the sight of everyone. I'm surprised the chemistry was that bad when things were comfortable and easy. I guess the complications may have factored into things. It is good for you to have tried. to that. FOUR WEEKS!!! Cool! I'm glad you came by. IP: Logged |

Hey - I know what you mean, I tell more here than I do on FB. Like you, I don't like 'real' people knowing my business.The chemistry wasn't 'bad', it just wasn't what I expected and it wasn't enough, and there was a need to declare it before we went any further. You are very perceptive, I think the complications definitely clouded things. But it would seem a shame to throw away a good connection, so I hope we can be friends. IP: Logged |

Pix, if you come back, here's my comment I removed from your pic at Facebook:I disagree. It gives you that pleasant slope from the cheekbone to chin (which is the way I always drew women's faces growing up). A strong chin also helps ward off the double chin. People like David Gahan and I have to be careful lest our double chin take over. I just took it down, because it seems so chatty, and people should be looking at your lovely visage, not my comments.

awww, it's ok to be chatty.. but I am glaD we have here- I chat on facebook but don't leave a lot out there. Oh but I have such a bad chin in photos! seriously. it juts out on the bottom and i always have that little half moon of 'double chin'... but it's nice that you drew chins like mine. Awesome!My hubby and I went on a date the other day! Those don't happen very often. A bonafide dinner/movie thing. Oh- and I will mention it here because we can discuss such things.. we are challenging ourselves to 'go every day' if you know what I am saying. This is our twelfth year of marriage, and I know we're pretty good in that department compared to some...but I figured if we challenged ourselves that no matter what we'd do it daily... it might take on a new dimension. It's tough because I am fighting off a bout of depression of late--- so if it weren't for that dose of hormones, who knows how I would be. haha- we're on our second week. Eleven days in. IP: Logged |

I'm good. I'm on my walk from the train station to work right now. Our weather has finally relented, and hopefully really given in to Spring.I'm still happy from last night. We did an exercise that is really good for me to do, because I'm always a bit resistant about going into character. It was a two person scene in which one person sets up the voice for the character, and the other has to mimic it, so it becomes a scene with two of the same character. I was asked for the voice for ours, but I don't really trust myself with coming up with voices in front of people (I do it in private quite a bit). My partner was an Indian woman with a pretty heavy accent. She made some noise, and my teacher said to go with it. We turned into these two angry, domineering beings. It became quite funny.

Overall, decent. Not a great venue. Not a great show. It was kind of adequate. It was nice to show off all my friends both in the show and the audience. Her and I are still kind of negotiating the connection. I think we get along easy enough. It's just that we haven't acheived the level of comfort with each other that makes things easier.

I don't know what it is about me, but I am the "comfort" girl. People just attach to me and spill their guts and whatnot. It's interesting to say the least. IP: Logged |

Yeah, I think that's an Aquarius thing. You guys make people comfortable. Especially strangers. I've heard [read] someone say that while Aquarius can be a pain in the ass to their friends and loved ones, they're great with strangers and new people. I think that was directed more at the males, though by my Aqua sister's own account that could be true of her as well.IP: Logged |
