Oh Coffee, *giggle*

It's so funny when you insult females! *giggle.

I wonder why you admitted yourself that you don't get laid. It's weird! Almost, oh, I dunno, Illogical!


Bethcarlish- My advice-
non-astrological, but valuable, I think.

Think of a post...and then think to yourself...is this valuable to myself or anyone else if I post this? Will this serve as a pity party, an illumination, or an inspiration? Will I regret this five minutes after I post this?
Give your emotions time to center before you throw yourself all over the page. Take a literal refresher, and use that as your guideline.
If you have actual astrologicalquestions, have at it.. but
"Why am I so stupid" isn't one. You know it. If you wanted attention, you certainly got it.

Coffee admitting that did something to me. It gave me courage.
Do you know the courage it takes to admit that on this crazy Board.
I just want to be me. I am so imperfect.If you look ,you will see so many flaws, things that will never be right ,not if I live a hundred years.
I want to be able to be real like someone who could say the kind of things Coffee said,here.

*eyes audibly roll in head, like two marbles.

Yeah, it's so brave to admit your blatant sexism on a primarily woman board, and by the way- offer it as a means to 'help' *ahem* if someone seeking attention asks why they are 'stupid' ....oh, honey *pats head*
It's because it's this 'woman' house.
Yeah. Bravery. my reference to his sexuality was tongue in cheek....in reference to an 'illogical' notion.
If only I knew him more, then I would understand your defense of him. I am sure!

You maybe going through some kind of depression, when people are in a depressed state they usually seek to be alone and become highly irritable and fatigued. Unfortunately, the interwebz is a place where most depressed people are because it requires no "human contact" ,or effort to use.

I know from personal experience, because If I'm in a good mood I'm rarely on LL, or the internet in general. Which is bad because I come off as a huge negg egg.Even though I've got no hostility with anyone here at LL or any internet forum, if you can get hostile with a stranger that is lol.

It's just when I get on the interwebz..I'm in a really bad mood.

But, I've been working on it lately, so I'm rarely here on LL or the internet and I read more than I post now.

It is like no matter how hard I try, I can't get myself off of the ground. I can't find any outlets for my artistic expression. No one cares and I can't find anyone who will join me on my vision.

Like, I make music. I write, sing and compose music. In my mind, It is good if not better than most of the stuff out there but yet when I post my music online I get no reception from it. The best I will receive is, "oh this is good" but they don't really care. It is not like, "oh this is amazing, I can't get it out of my head". So basically my creations are mundane or middle of the road. I can't find anyone who wants to collaborate with me. They always blow me off.

Amowls, of course it's not strictly accredited to one gender. I'm a woman who can't deal with my emotions quite well. If I could like is expected from me being a woman, I wouldn't avoid emotional issues for example, and I wouldn't have to pretend I have none. And I know (very few though, it has to be said, I can sadly still count them on one hand) men who are very open about and very in tune with their emotions.

I also know nothing is conclusive, although lots of research has been done with brain scans and brain waves, which is recorded, so to an extent there is empirical evidence to support the most recent claims. To a less empirical extent, there are conclusions which are drawn on the basis of demographics of specific mental disorders which have the inability to deal with emotions as a symptom, of which BPD is one - the fact that it appears more in women suggests that for women, it is less common to have those symptoms associated with the disorder. Then again, you can always look at it the other way and say that because it appears so much in women, it is simply a common female personality trait rather than a disorder. After all, it is just a conclusion which is drawn by human beings and is subject to mistakes, because we as humans do make mistakes and can misinterpret of course.


But like you said, not all women are well able to deal with their emotions just as not all men are unable to do so. What I was saying is that there are statistics and studies, as well as experiments out there which have led specialists on the subject to the conclusion that it is true for the majority of the population of those two genders. And, looking around in my personal environment, those statistics seem to be accurate hence why I'm inclined to believe the studies that were done to come to that conclusion.

Well, opposite of logical is illogical, just as opposite of 3rd is 9th. I won't talk anymore about this as I don't want to you dig any deeper into the hole that I have seen you digging. Is the anger in your post from another source played onto me? smiling, not angry.

If you don't think man is Aries/1st and woman is Libra/7th, then I can do more but not speak to you as what has been written has obviously rubbed you up the wrong way. When all I was doing was presenting thoughts and ideas.

Ouch!

There is a male and fe...no wait, I will stop before this gets even more messy. Been there before you see.

Just image if I really insulted females.

I could join the rest of the group and do it because that one of the group is supposed to do, or I could wait until I find a person who has not been corrupted by the world, something which is hard.

I could find any old slapper on the street, on a website, or even through family and friends. Why? I don't feel the need to do it. Actually sounds disgusting somewhat when you think about it. I can't get my head around these slappers who give it up every night for a few drinks.

These women today have disease, or have the disease of the men they slept with the past few nights. Imagine licking out half of my own cities' men, by going with a woman. Ughhh!

When you say it clearly and DEEPLY think about it, it's pretty disgusting. No wonder people charge for it. There wil always be people who bully me into doing it and bully me for not doing it. I think they are just peed off with themselves for doing it. They pass their lack of self respect onto me, and that is what children do. Maybe happened too young for them.

I don't care that you haven't 'done it',but your reply regarding it just seeks to reinforce why you rub me the wrong way...your judgment in the name of your ego.
Usually one meets all sorts of people in their interactions, makes friends, sometimes they evolve into relationships. Sometimes not. Options aren't just 'going to a professional' to 'take care of your problem'. I don't see it as a problem, but the way you look at things over and over, and the way to talk with people here, over and over, I just find it terribly insulting...the mark of someone whose opinion of themselves ranks them as above others. It doesn't make you a 'mystic', it makes you egotistical. I realize my pointing this out to you is getting to the point of redundancy.
Noone is all bad, I don't think that of you....I just feel that people who manifest judgment and are in a self-appointed position of power need a moderating force around them which is equal to the force they exert. Polarity.
I will not encourage your lesser impulses as others do. I feel you need to bring in some better behaviour.

3rd house isnt logic. Its personal communication, detailed thinking, linear thinking, writing. 9th is mass comminication, big picture thinking (which is why the 9th is the house of philosophy), cloud thinking, and publishing.

Perhaps you should learn the basics of what the houses mean because I don't think you know.

No, I'm not smiling, yes I'm a little angry because sexism and misogyny are real things. Your flippant remarks about women disgust me. And your chosen ignorance annoys me even more. You are supposedly an advanced astrologer and if you don't know the basics such as what the 3rd and 9th houses mean, you're teaching people the wrong things. Ideas mean something, Coffee. They have the power to infect or heal. You don't have enough wisdom to teach anyone astrology.

Yep, got all that. Where do you see 'logic' in the chart?

I've been saying a lot about celebrities recently. Hope you don't have celebrity friends making you say that. There is nothing worse than hiding behind someone else.

Honestly, there are different types of "smarts" such as street smarts, wits (3rd), wisdom (9th), social smarts, etc. I think in Beth's case, it's a lack of social skills. Uranus can do that (making the native not care about social convention)

That's great. I didn't ask about the other ones, I asked about logic. Does logic seem like a 3rd house activity? Can you answer this one please, and do not avoid.

Also, can you tell me astrologically about the different parts of the brain. I assume there are 2 parts mainly. Which houses would you see these as if you had to view them as houses?

You did not answer my question about logic.

I'm simply implying that your thoughts may have been influenced by others, whether through someone asking you to say something or a person/alien taking over you. There are many aliens on this place call earth.

You're not telling me anything I don't know already. I guess that would take some wisdom.

Live for yourself, do what you want and whatever it is that makes you happy. You cannot make other people happy, or force them to like you. However you may help them it is probably that you will end up hurting them. The one person you can help the most is yourself. Love yourself for who you are, believe in your own beauty, your own abilities. If there is something you are unhappy with in your life you have the power to change it. If you have someone you can talk to about everything, maybe that would help.

I wish you more happiness than you seem to have currently.

HEY, ok i didn't read most of the other posts, but i just glanced through the page and this stood out.

are you saying that you post music and you get a comment? well, well done!

i'm a musician myself. i'm a mediocre one. no one ever says anything about my music when i post it online. my partner is a full-on musician. he is EXTREMELY talented. when i say this, it's true in a sense he can compose any genre of music in a snap of finger, from classical opera to punk to metal to folk to jazz, pop, noise, techno, you name it. it's so easy for him. and he makes catchy tunes that stick.

is he famous? no. he is a TERRIBLE business man. he's in his late 40s now. he has played in different bands. met hundreds of musicians. when they hear what he makes, it makes a big impact on them. but he doesn't make the effort to be successful so no one knows him. when he posts his music online, no one says anything either.

it has nothing to do with your artistic talent. you gotta go out and put yourself forward. there's so many songs that's just composed of recycled beats, uncreative lyric, tunes without any layer and depth making big money out there. it proves that it has nothing to do with whether it's good or bad.

I'm not trying to be cynical, but... most pop music is (imho) mediocre. The catchiness of the song then depends on the repetition and how simple it is. Not on the quality of the music and/or lyrics.

To appeal to the mass, you have to be average, otherwise you'll only appeal to a select group of people and produce a limited genre that way. That being said, I think a musician who can master multiple genres (like lechien's man ) must be truly talented! They could play a specific genre still and because of their ability to play different specific genres, still appeal to a greater amount of people!


Anyway, I digress. What I wanted to say is to become popular, you need to be simple (use simple vocabulary, grammar, be straight to the point, simple tunes). If that's what you really want.

And... To be completely honest, consider yourself lucky. I used to write lyrics, but lost the courage to do so again after I lost most of them when my computer crashed. I haven't played any instrument since I went off school. I've always been told that music is no industry I want to get into. The only thing that I have going for me at the moment is my voice, but even in those recordings you can hear that I'm honestly terrified of singing in public (and, additionally, honestly terrified of bad feedback). I often wish I had the courage to start writing again, make my own music and then post it somewhere... Anywhere. The fact that you have been able to record it, post it and get a response, is a huge achievement! Most people would not even dare to do so!

... Maybe I should start focusing on my music again. There is a big market for folk nowadays.
