I've always been into astrology and analyzing people's behaviors based on their astrological signs. Tonight my bestie and I were watching a show and decided to see if we can guess the signs of these people simply based on how they were acting. I'm shocked to report that we guess 5/5!
I know not everybody believes in this and it's not a perfect science but there's something to say about scorpios being scorpios and cancers being cancers. I've never met a Scorpio that wasn't an aggressive and extremely sexual person. Never met a cancer that wasn't a sensitive mushy mess. Never met an Aries that wasn't self centered and tenacious beyond all limits. Makes me wonder if by knowing what these signs have to offer, we look for them specifically in people born in that range or if it's really the nature of these people to have these characteristics.
I've always been told I'm not a typical cancer in many ways, and I'd have to agree. My best friend is an Aries and is also very atypical. In a real world of astrology the two of us would need to run for the hills from each other because an Aries would destroy a cancer within minutes and the cancer would end up crying and self destructing for years after. Yet being that we are both absolute paradoxes of our signs, we actually not only get along well, we complement each other's signs. We are actually learning what we lack in our respective signs from each other.
So although I'm a believer that a person's astrological sign may be the basis for their character, it's the people we surround ourselves with and the environment we grow up in, that actually determines what kind of personality we really are....
That said, I'll still run for the hills from most Aries, Leos, and Scorpios. Those signs just plain out scare the softie that is the Cancer.

Approach with caution
I'm not sure if you've ever tried arguing with a pms-ing woman, but it's something like arguing with a toddler who remembers everything and has no problem throwing out random things you did months and maybe years ago.
You start off arguing about the simplest things like why you left the light on in the bathroom, and then the "annnnddd, I hate when you leave the fork on the table after eating!" and the "yeah well, last month you forgot my best friend's cousin's baby's birthday!!!" "why can't you just KNOW when i want a (fill in the most ridiculous request ever made by a human)?!?"
What the hell is wrong with us?? Seriously. We need to be locked up in a dungeon and left to bleed for a few days until all the resentment and crazy comes out. What's worse is we actually see ourselves going into the downward spiral but there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop ourselves.
Oh hormones, how we love you...but really, can you take it easy on us?

Che sera
Getting back into the swing of things really reminds me of the life I used to lead. I'm kinda jealous of the things I used to do, the balls I had before the rug got swept from under my feet. I'm still just as ambitious as ever but I'm more reluctant now. I think things through a lot more and I'm a lot more cautious about the choices I make.
Working on 1/3 the energy and tenacity as I had before, I've realized I'm also missing out on some things too. I'm not too concerned about it, though. Taking it easy as far as getting back to a hundred percent is probably much better than blowing through life, balls to the wall...at least for the time being.
I do semi regret missing my 10 year high school reunion....for both schools. I've kept in touch with a lot of people from the high school I actually graduated from, it's the other high school reunion I would have loved to pop in to. If not for reconnecting but to remind people of the "little" people that also attended their class. To show everyone that though we may have come from different economic backgrounds, we are all in the same place now....not sure if that's more of a statement for myself or everyone else, however. I don't know if that chip on my shoulder will ever fall off or be brushed off. I'm just as bitter about some people and situations as I was the day that school booted me out lol maybe one day I'll get over it.
It's fun to see the pictures and see how some people stayed completely the same and yet others changed drastically. Some of the popular kids are now just part of the "crowd" and look like every other person in the city, while some of the outcast kids have turned into stunningly good looking people. Then there's the ridiculously good looking kids that just got more ridiculously good looking....and that's just not fair lol
Would have loved to proudly wear my senior geekdom picture and see some old friends.
Che sera, sera. I'll be sure to make the next reunions.
Really amazingly relaxing and yet fun filled day today with the god daughter and my niece. Always been good with kids...but today was kinda scary for how well I manage two kids. And I have the tiredness to prove it.

Karma
I'm a firm believer in karma. I spend most of my entire days doing things the way I would like for things to be done upon me. I hold doors for people, I help people out if they have a question, I smile at people, I try to admit whenever I'm wrong, I don't litter...for the most part I try to do what my mom has always taught me to be "the right thing". I've given up my road rage and let people be on the road...if you're driving like an ass I'll just let you do it else where, as long as you're not putting others in danger, do what you will. You never know if the person in front of you going 40 in the middle lane of the freeway is driving their first freeway, who the hell am I to scare the living crap out of them by honking or yelling profanities?
This said, I've been wondering lately if the shit that I've gotten in the last year is karma catching up with me or if it's the way karma is looking for the people responsible for some of the shit going on...did I royally fuck up somewhere in the past and now I'm being punished by shitty selfish people? Or does this shit just follow the shitty people and it's their karma that's gearing up to work overtime?
Whichever it is, it makes me be a better person regardless. I'll take the bullshit as a lesson and move on knowing how NOT to treat others. And them? Well...karma is fair. Somehow the universe makes everything even.

Back in 10
Some days I'm strapped for thoughts. Or maybe my head is overfilled with thoughts? I don't know what the case was today. I know I woke up super late today... super tired (mainly from waking up to every single small sound in the house thinking it was the ghost/demon from the movie coming to snap my neck like a kit kat bar). After "helping" my bestie paint what is really my room in her house, we were just completely worn out. I was so fixated on whatever was going on in my head that I barely spoke all day. I seem to have days where I'm so internally focused that I forget I'm present in a room and people may be talking to me. It's almost an auto pilot mode where I'm really calm and quiet but by looking at me you'll know it's anything but calm and quiet inside my head.
Lately I've just been fighting between acting on impulses and acting like an adult. Also battling my normally passive demeanor an forgiving nature by not giving into it. I have to remind myself on a daily basis why I feel the way I feel about certain things and how they haven't changed so why should I change the way I feel about it? Seems easy enough. Not to a stupid Cancer child. In this sense, we seem to have the memory of a fly. Anyway, I digress.
I'm grabbing my god daughter and her sister tomorrow for a sleep over so I can put the endless bundles of energy to work lol decorating the house for Halloween, carve some pumpkins, arts, crafts, feed them sugar and send them back to their parents to deal with the consequences. Its what god mothers are supposed to do. I read up on it. But seriously, I haven't hung out with them in ages and I miss feeling old and getting filled in on the trends and cools of today's pre teens. This should be somewhat entertaining. I'm planning on also making sure they aren't getting bullied in school and god save them if THEY are the bullies.
I'd write something more deep than this...but my head is far too consumed to be able to think and write all at once.
There's always tomorrow.

Normal Activity
So I just got back from a midnight screen
ing of paranormal activity 2...its only the 3rd time I ever got my ass out to a midnight screening of anything. And it was the imax experience version too.
I won't say I don't believe in paranormal activity but I've never really been one to scream from fear...I believe in ghosts and demons, I just respectfully leave that alone.
Normally I'd be hiding under a thick layer of blankets and watching this kind of thing with one eye open. This time I was more pissed off at the men who were screaming like little girls at every sudden move. This was not the movie to take a loud snack to!! The girl next to us damn near broke her boyfriend's hands, she was gripping them so hard. I almost "accidentally" tried to slip her half a Xanax because I feared she may have a stroke from all the stress she seemed to be going through.
I don't know if its the anti anxiety meds or if I've just seen worse monsters and demons in people, but aside from getting woken up once with a loud scene, I didn't get the same effect as the rest of the theater seemed to. It was entertaining, for the most part, but I think I would have had more reactions had we gone to see jackass 3D...there's always tomorrow!

Fitness?
At the risk of sounding like a complete jackass I want to voice an opinion on something most people would probably bite their tongues.
And so it goes: I'd like to know who people think they are fooling and benefiting by wearing those "toning" shoes that look like little boats? Now hang on before you answer that. This is the picture I see while walking out of a supermarket the other day: a lady who is about 80-100lbs overweight carrying a McDonalds bag in one hand and what seems to be a super sized drink in the other...is dressed to the nines in gym wear and those spiffy "toning" shoes. I mean, really...what's the issue here?? I'm ALL for fitness and I'm all for people getting on the right track to better nutrition and starting with baby steps....but seriously, how about giving up the burger and soda habit before stepping into the toners. Please don't get me wrong, people who struggle with weight and have pounds to shed that don't put them in the "obese" category, have my full blown support with healthy choices and doing even the smallest things to make their lives better. There need to be other steps taken when you feel like those shoes are going to help you burn off a 32oz soda! You're not helping yourself. You're not even trying at this point.
I don't know what my point is really, it just made me really angry to see that. I guess I don't really understand the logic behind what I saw. I hope to see her again soon and I hope she proves me wrong.
