Boring tasks are waiting for me and I am being distracted by pithy obserations, philosophical discussion topics and other interesting posts.

Please could everyone try to be a little more dull.

Thank You.

Oh I am surprised.

Being dull just comes naturally to me.

Which reminds me, a friend of mine called Sean Bean "dull" in a mail yesterday. I think I reread that sentence several times, cause it must have been the first time that someone used that word to describe Sean. lol

Interesting reply, you just don't get the point of this thread, do you?

Just yesterday lunchtime I had a lunchtime conversation with a co-worker about dullness. She concluded that it is all very subjective. A friends hobby she described as deeply dull, I must have agreed as I can't remember what it was, but we both sat talking about cats for half an hour. This we agreed would be quite a dull topic for many people but for us the time whizzed by.

So, DarkDreamer, you couldn't possibly bore me given your knowledge and willingness to engage in astrological discussion.

On the other hand, my own true love is quite a boring old tosser, going on about his machines. My little eyes quite glaze over.

Sean? Football, that's one he likes, I like that too. That would take up that bit of time between conversation and steamy action.

MVM - with bluemoon's North Node in the 3rd house, she will probably find your boring list really interesting.

bluemoon, I could do a real Leo thing and talk about myself for a very long time, and give you great insight into the depths of my personality and how I respond to the external enviroment around me in a way that will leave you breathless and astounded at how wonderful it is to be in the presence of a stellar Leo.

Oh, I think I do that anyway on Godzala - it was worth a try shrugs shoulders.

Ummm I think it's her NN. It could be in the 3 house. What ever the aspect, it gives an interest for higher learning and working with facts.

Ok, I'm home now. I have a small picture of her chart. Her NN is in Aqua actually, but in the 3rd house like you said. I was curious because I have three planets in Sag, so I thought one of them might conjunct her SN if her NN was in Gemini.

Yes, BM`s NN is conjunct my Moon in Aquarius.

I have NN in Sagittarius in 1st house.
Maybe that makes me interested in learning and philosophy and astrology?

Well I never knew that.

My NN is at 17* Aqua. Conjunct DD's Moon. My father's also. We exchange facts, often historical. He will sit in the chair and ask me who was King of England in 1162, that kind of thing.

John Malkovich does a lot of acting in French dramas. Sorry, I have always found him quite attractive. That oiled Brazilian model looking bored on Madonna's recent photoshoot, the one with his name tattooed on his back. We are verging a little further towards yawn.

The text speak sux.
