Virgo Horoscope for week of February 12, 2009
Verticle Oracle card Virgo (August 23-September 22)
"The person one loves never really exists," said Arthur C. Clarke, "but is a projection focused through the lens of the mind onto whatever screen it fits with least distortion." Your assignment, Virgo, is to prove Clarke at least partially wrong. See if you can figure out a way to dissolve or elude your own projections long enough so that you can see the raw truth about a certain person you crave or adore or care about. Not a reflection of the dream lover who hides in your heart. Not a fantasy you wish your beloved would become. But the perfectly imperfect soul who is actually there in front of you.




Cancer Horoscope for week of February 12, 2009
Verticle Oracle card Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Over the course of your lifetime, if you're average, you will spend about 336 hours kissing. But why be average? Especially now, when the cosmos is begging you to use your mouth to incite ingenious bliss and explore the frontiers of closeness? To be in maximum alignment with the great cycles of nature and make God happy, I suggest you experiment with Guinness-Book-of-World-Records-levels of smooching and licking and sucking. If you can't find a human partner to collaborate with, then kiss the sky, the trees, the rivers, and even the mist. (P.S. For extra credit, use your mouth to murmur lyrical praises and whisper poetic temptations.)

Feb. 24th, 2008 @ 08:36 am No Country for Old Men
Current Mood: contemplative
Well, I saw No Country for Old Men yesterday.  My friend Melissa and I wanted to see it before the Oscars.  I bought a copy of the book on the way home and will be reading it then watching it again.

It was bloody, disturbing and perplexing.  It is very much a Coen brothers movie.

If I had to say what it was about, my initial reaction is to say it's about the unresolved nature of evil. But what do I know?

It's a well known fact that I'm not smart enough for art films. lol

If you are really invested in movies that resolve themselves, don't go.  You'll be woefully disappointed.

Current Mood: relieved
Well, I thought the Mango broke out of the house again today.  I about had a coronary.  I wandered around looking for him and was starting to get pretty frantic. (When I came home there was a package propping open my screen door and my arms were full of groceries.)

Just when I was about to burst into tears thinking he was gone again, I opened my bedroom door and there he was.  Apparently he'd gotten into my room before I'd left and hidden under the bed.  He isn't allowed in there, but that doesn't stop him when he has an opening.

I'm really happy he isn't missing again....the fuzzy bastard.

Frickin' [info]vesperalight... XD

10 WHATS:
1. What was the first thing you thought about when you woke up today?
Why the hell is my alarm going off? This is a holiday and I shut the fucking thing off last night...didn't I...Shit.

2. What did you do last night?
Played Everquest and finished a really stupid long tradeskill quest.

3. What is the most important part of your life?
My tribe.

4. What would you rather be doing right now?
Wandering around Europe.

5. What do you like in a guy/girl?
I like my guys strong charactered, smart and confident.
I like my girls compassionate, talkative and feisty.

For both, honest, trustworthy and kind.

6. What makes you feel better when your upset?
Meditation.  Peace and quiet.  Venting to my close friends. Crying it out.

7. Who was the last person to sleep in your bed?
Me.

8. Whats the most important thing you look for in a significant other?
I thought I answered that...  but, I'll try again.   They have to be a truly kind human being.

9. What are you worried about?
Not being talented enough to tile my kitchen and bathroom myself.

10. What are you looking forward to most in this week?
Getting the next 3 discs of Season 6 of 24 from Netflix. (Wow, I'm pathetic.)

NINE HAVE YOUS:
1. Have you ever liked someone before you had a girlfriend/boyfriend ?
I really don't understand this question.

2. Have you ever had your heart broken?
I think I've been crying over this here in LJ for a little over a year now, hello! =)

3. Have you ever lied about your age?
Oh yeah.  To get into bars when I was under 21.  Once I hit 21, never.

4. Have you ever been out of the country?
Yup.  Many days I wish I could stay out of the country.

5. Have you ever done something outrageously dumb?
Nothing is flying into my head at the moment (specifically) to give an example, but of course....all the time.  I think the list is too long to come up with anything specific.  Oh...got on an ATV and almost killed myself.  That was really stupid.  It really is a very long list.

6. Have you ever been back stabbed by a friend?
Let me answer this no....thinking it's a trick question.  Once back-stabbed, they weren't a friend anymore.

7. Have you ever had the cops called on you?
More times than I can count.  Again, when I was under 21.  Never arrested, thank goodness.  Once when I was 30...that's a very scandalous story.  No one was arrested then, either.  Talked my way out of it.

8. Have you ever dated someone younger than you?
Yes.  Not usually a good plan for me.  Never works out very well.

9 . Have you ever read an entire book in one day?
You bet.  I love to read!  I read Neverwhere by a pool in California and was so engrossed I didn't notice the 2nd degree sun burn I got.  Lets make this the answer to have you ever done anything outrageously dumb...

EIGHT WHOS:
1. Who was the last person you saw?
The folks at the nail salon where I got a manicure, pedicure and my eyebrows waxed.

2. Who was the last person you hugged?
My mom.

3. Who was the last person you texted?
Beth.

4. Who was the last person to call you?
My friend Michael to tell me about his new boyfriend.

5. Who was your first crush?
Mikey.  He lived up the street from me when I was little.  I was up on his roof once...that scared folks some....also dumb... =)

6 . Who is the last person who texted you?
Beth.

7.Who is the last person you freaked out on?
My ex when he left a year ago.  I'm not one for histrionics, but what he expected of me was preposterous.

8. Who did you last pm?
No clue.

SEVEN WHENS:
1.When was your last shower?
Last night.

2. When did you last see your mom?
Last Tuesday. We went to dinner with Cathy and Beth.

July 2, 2006 when he died.

A month or so ago to go to the symphony.

5. When was the last time you cried?
Probably a couple days ago while watching a movie.

6. When did you last go to the movies?
I think the last thing i saw at a theatre was The Golden Compass.

7. When did you last listen to music?
This afternoon.


SIX WHERES:

5. Where is your favorite place to be?
My home.

6.Where did you sleep last night?
My bed.


FIVE DO'S
1. Do you like someone right now?
Nope.  I don't even have any crushes or passing fancies...not any lusty desires.  I need to get out more.

2. Do they like you too?
N/A

3. Do you ever wish you were someone else?
Not really.

4 . Do you know the muffin man?
The one who lives on Drury Lane?  Nope.  Never met him.

5 . Does the future scare you?
I'm a Buddhist.  There is no future.  There is only this moment.

All that sanctimoniousness aside, sometimes, yes.  That is a recent thing, though.  I've never really even thought of that kind of thing before this last awful relationship break up, now, I sometimes do and it's awful for me. He taught me how to be afraid. Bastard.

FOUR WHYS:
1. Why are your best friends your best friends?
Because we are of the same tribe. 

2.Why did you get friendster?
I DIDN'T, GOSH :)

3. Why did your parents give you the name you have?
You know, I don't know.  I think my mom just thought Sandra was a pretty name.  I know she wasn't thrilled with anyone calling me Sandy...which everyone does. =)

4. Why are you doing this survey?
Because Mia posted it.


THREE IFS:
1. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
That's easy.  I'd be able to sprout wings and fly.

2. If you could spend $700 on One Thing... What would it be & Why?
I have this crazy notion I'm going to buy a treadmill so I can walk every day regardless of whether it's really fucking cold out.  So, I may actually be spending that $700....

Travel or shoes sounds more fun.

3. If you were stranded on a deserted island and could bring one thing what would it be?
Clive Owen.

TWO WOULD-YOU-EVERS:
1. Would you ever get back together with any of your exs if they asked you?
It's a really bad idea.  I can't say no for sure.  There's one who's a maybe, but would never happen.  Most are not a chance in hell that I'd want to.

2. Would you ever shave your head to save someone you love?
Without hesitation.

Jan. 12th, 2008 @ 04:27 pm Tonight...
Current Mood: restless
Going to the symphony tonight.  I love baroque music, so this will be nice even though...

I'm not really in the mood to go out, but what's new?  I'm really not a big advocate of human contact these days.

I got my hair cut and colored this morning and it looks really nice. 

Work has been insane lately.  I'm wearing myself out.  It's not like I have anything else going on in my life, so why not?  I might as well pour myself into my work.  I still love my job, so if that's the current love I have, I might as well show it.  But, damn I'm tired.

The weather is cold and drippy and grey.  That doesn't help my mood.

The Seahawk game is on in the background and they are getting trounced.  One of the gals I work with went to Green Bay for the game.  Ouch.  A couple of my girlfriends and my mom are going to come over for the Super Bowl.  I suppose I can stand to watch one game in a year.  I'll cook something tasty.  It will be fun...really....that will be my mantra.

I need more fun.  I need to be less hard on myself.  I want to go to Peru.  I may buy a treadmill.  That way I could walk AND never leave my house.

I need to get after Lowe's since the last of my tile should be in and they should deliver my last frickin' door.  This is really just the project that never ends.  If it actually arrives here, that means I'll have to call someone to come install all my doors AND install my tile. I'm doing the tile myself....not the doors.

Well, time for me to motivate myself to go pick up my mom, get some dinner, drive to Seattle and listen to classical music.  Thank goodness I finally bought new windshield wipers.

Virgo Horoscope for week of January 3, 2008
Verticle Oracle card Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Your main assignment in 2008 is to become highly skilled at feeling good. Does that sound like something you might want to do? If so, here's the beginning of a regimen you could follow: (1) Be constantly taking notes about what experiences give you delight and what situations make you feel at home in the world. (2) Always be scheming to provide yourself with those experiences and situations. (3) Take a vow that nothing will obstruct you from seeking out and creating pleasure, peace, love, wonder, and an intimate connection with life.

Dec. 15th, 2007 @ 08:26 am This week's horoscope....
Verticle Oracle card Virgo (August 23-September 22)
At Free Will Astrology, we love to turn things upside-down and inside-out every now and then. It keeps our mental hygiene sparkling clean, and yours, too. This week, in order to incite a purifying ruckus, we're offering you a challenge from psychologist James Hillman. Please suck the following thoughts into the deepest recesses of your understanding, and enjoy the brainstorms they detonate: "By accepting the idea that you are the effect of a subtle buffeting between hereditary and societal forces, you reduce yourself to a result. The more your life is accounted for by what already occurred in your chromosomes, by what your parents did or didn't do, and by your early years now long past, the more your biography is the story of a victim." What I'm trying to tell you, Virgo, is that it's a fine time to rebel against your genetic heritage, your upbringing, and your conditioning. Imagine a life for yourself in which you don't believe that those factors control what you're capable of.

Nov. 20th, 2007 @ 08:26 pm Fucking Fed Ex
Current Mood: angry
So, I'm waiting for this massive order from Pampered Chef.  Fed Ex is supposed to deliver it, but hasn't.

They updated their website that they attempted delivery, but I wasn't available. NO ONE CAME BY.  Their driver made a note that he came by around 4pm.  I was sitting on the couch, watching TV at 4 pm.  No one came to my door, no door tag was left.

I called to say I needed this stuff delivered tomorrow morning since I won't be here in the afternoon and that their driver never did stop by.  She said sometimes their drivers lie about actually trying to deliver stuff.

Who hires these people?

Fuckers.

Nov. 3rd, 2007 @ 10:13 am To Kill A Mockingbird
Current Mood: busy
I'm going to see To Kill A Mockingbird with my mom today at the Intiman Theater.  I haven't been to the theater, anywhere, in a couple years and am needing a fix.  This has gotten very good reviews and the story is fabulous, so it should be wonderful.

I'm feeling fairly sulky, though, so I'm hoping it's just hormones and the weather.  Since it's gotten colder out, I haven't been able to get warm. That is contributing to my depression, too, I'm sure.  I hate being cold and I've been cold for about 3 solid weeks.  Add that to never seeing daylight and it's a wonder I'm fit for human contact at all.

It's looking like I should be permanent and promoted any day now at work.  That's a really good thing and kind of scary all at the same time.  They're working me to death and I'm tired.

My cat, The Mango, has taken on the biggest cattitude I've ever known him to have. Lots more back-talk and breaking into my bedroom to sleep on my pillows. I'm not really down with that.  Cat fluff anywhere near my face when I'm sleeping tends to make me sick.

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I have a date at Lowe's to try and get my issues with them resolved.  This is still the aftermath of the counter top, bad customer service fix... which took a complaint to their HQ in North Carolina and a subsequent call from their NW Regional Manager.  I'll post the whole thing once it's resolved....since in theory that should be tomorrow.... but this has been ongoing since September 1st. What a pain in my ass.

I have had stuff going on for the last 4 weekends, am busy this weekend, and next weekend is completely booked up, too.  I haven't been this busy in forever and am looking forward to the weekend of the 17th when I don't think I have anything at all going on.  I may take the entire week of Thanksgiving off and either tile my kitchen and bathroom or do nothing at all.  I really need a break.

I'm almost feeling like I might be ready to ... date ... again.  October 18 marked the year point of when I went to Wyoming with J. and the nine month point of when he spontaneously fucked right off.  I've been feeling less bitter and less broken.

Well, I guess I better get dressed so I can go get some gas, pick up my mom, drive to Seattle, get some lunch, see a play, drive home, and take a nap.

Virgo Horoscope for week of November 1, 2007

Verticle Oracle card Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The owners of a parts supply store in South Carolina billed the Pentagon $998,798 for sending two 19-cent washers to a Texas army base. Let's install them as your symbolic reminder not to overpay for anything in the coming week, no matter how crucial it may be to your operations. And when I invoke that word "overpay," I'm referring not only to forking over money, but also to giving away your emotional energy, directing your attention, or offering up your help. Make sure that you're getting equal value for your contributions.
