I love cream of wheat actually. And grits-but only with a teaspoonfull of ricotta cheese in it. Don't knock it till you've tried it!

And yeah, jwhop, his bed always was just right

He's not technically "old"...but today is his birthday and we haven't spoken in a bit and since he's been on my mind, I thought I'd drop a line. I just got his reply-a very sweet one-so I'm in all sorts of a good mood. (deep down you guys are softies)

sometimes i do take things out of proportion, im just very sensitive. scorp rules my 11th house. *sigh* i just know also that i can come across as quite strong and difficult, and im aware of it... i just get nervous. i just know that ive ****** a couple of people off since ive been here, and it was building i guess, and i just wanted to make sure that i was understood. i am quite weird you see.

thanks everyone! i only just woke from my nap, so im groggy, but just wanted to acknowledge you all.

take care! sorry for being so crazy

tee hee

about the only thing that makes me go 'eek' is the caps, because i rather feel like i am being shouted at but if thats what you are comfortable with, its certainly nothing that would really make me upset with you.

its ok i for one am happy you are here.

11th House Pisces..certainly food for thought.

nah, lol... i knew you werent meaning to shout, its just in forums its like, whoa, you know? i dont particularily care too much, its just a little pet peeve as i act online as i do irl and so tend to see online the same as irl. if that makes sense lol.

oh youve been here? thats cool i was reminded yesterday of how much i love this land. i went through vancouver and up through the mountians into squamish, where my aunt and uncle live. it was really great. so beautiful...

hmm a nearby forest? everything is forest maybe you were up by grouse mountain, you can see the lights of the ski runs at night from van, or maybe you went to belcarra. they are both lovely places, all of them are really. gastown is great. i would love to go to sydney sometime. not in your summer though, or um, winter? what do you call your seasons, as they are opposite to us on this side of the rock??

maybe you can come back again someday. i cant say too much about how wonderful this place is! i feel lucky to have been born here.

Buttons are there to be pushed What else are they good for?

Think I've read everything Robert Heinlein ever wrote, including "Stranger in a Strange Land." Also all of Frederik Pohl, Poul Anderson, Harlan Ellison, Mike Resnick, Robert Silverberg, Isaac Asimov, Joe Halderman, Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, Gregory Benford, Michael Bishop, Clifford D. Simak, Fritz Leiber, James Blish and Legions of others over the years. But, of all the science fiction I've ever read, the Foundation Trilogy and spinoffs by Isaac Asimov are by far and away my favorites.

No absolutes, and enjoys s/f. That's very cool.

Thanks for your comments trillian

I guess putting ricotta cheese in grits isn't too weird. I know an Aqua who puts sugar on her sliced tomatoes.

Thanks for sharing that with me Oxy, I'm always interested in how other Leo's are doing.

looking at friends though-

we look to what sign rules the house and its attributes, and we also look to the ruler of the house, in my case it would be pluto and my pluto is posited in my 9th in virgo. this would indicate that i have deep (scorp) friendships (11th) and strong connections (scorp) and that my friends are often a source of transformation (pluto) with me (and i for them), and that i tend to be of service (virgo) to my friends usually in the realm of the 9th house which is any number of things but often comes down to philosophy and 'religion' etc. also i tend to have intense friendships/ be seen as intense by friends.

conversely there is a down side to the placing, as scorpios have two sides as do all signs. scorpio deals with enigmatic things and secrecy, and often jealousy is associated with scorp, although jealousy doesnt come up with me personally as i have a strong sun/asc etc to waylay that aspect of scorp. i am quite enigmatic about my friendships and secretive about them as well though. i also can pick up on discontent or ulterior motives rather easily and react accordingly with the scorpionic ability of detection (scorps make great detectives and i do usually know what a person is motivated by when i meet them, im good at 'reading' people) and i have the sag asc to back it up. sag rising are usually pretty good at getting to the heart of a matter. my 11th and pluto (sextile neptune) are two supportive factors in my chart that explain my somewhat psychic abilities... i hate the term psychic though. i suppose i could use the word empathetic... yea i like that better.

look at neptune in your chart and the aspects it makes to the other planets. pisces are also deep being water, im sure you crave or attract deep friendships too. pisces are quite dreamy, perhaps you idealize friends/hips, or they idealize you. pisces is my favorate sign as for some reason i just love them. other good attributes about pisces are the fact that they are quite sensitive and caring, and have a great deal of empathy. that can be a very positive attribute when looking at the 11th house. the flip side of pisces is the illusion of thinking that things are other than what they are. beware of that factor when you are looking at the 11th and neptune. you may feel a need to portray yourself to your friends as something you are not, or the opposite, or be wishy washy, another piscean trait that can occur. in general pisces are a great sign and im sure you have tons to offer your friends. we just always have to be aware of certain tendencies so that we 'swim upstream' rather than down.

with pisces ruling your 11th theres a possibility of using drugs/drink when around friends, but i dont think ive ever seen you mention drink/drugs. depending on other things in your chart and the state of your neptune (which i dont know) i doubt you would be one to drink alone though.

thats just a brief synopsis. hope it helped a little.

ah yes, the grouse grind. i will never do that even if a guns pointed to my head id rather go nude sunbathing at rec beach, and i hate my body its a tough hike. its renowned for it.

yes, id go to aus in the winter. i have delicate constitution and the heat would kill me. i was in miami not last winter but the one before, and even in december it was in the high 90's, low 100's!!! it ended up that i had to go to the emergency room and be treated for severe dehydration and borderline heatstroke. i certainly dont want to experience *that* again, i felt like i was seriously dying. i thought i was having a heart attack, and im only 33! so i have to be really careful as to climate wherever i visit.

i feel like one of those ladies from the late 19th c. who were always getting the 'vapors' and who needed 'fainting couches'

take care

Yep, Aries, Leo rising, you don't need no stinkin handbook.

just felt in an explainey mood that day. i love how we can do that little exercise. even if we have no planets in a house, a lot of things can still be found out about that area if we know where to look. its one of my favorate little astrological thingies.

happy to share

its good to have this reminder about not being offensive- some people seem to see a comment they dont agree with and fly off the handle (im sure we're all guilty of doing it sometimes) but theres a fine line between expressing your opinion and being rude it seems.

"if im too 'disruptive' or whatever, just say the word and ill leave"
i cant believe you said that! i know that was a while ago but... your posts are always the most fair and interesting (if a little long at times) so you cant leave. thats the final line- you cant. i agree with you on so many things (not just radiohead and the matrix )

i've not been here much longer than you and it might make you feel better to know theres someone here who feels more out of place than you. this is an astrology website and i think im correct in saying im the *only* one here who does not believe in it at all and who has (possibly ignorantly) never read one of linda's books (cant hold it against me tho since i dont believe in it).
