It has been raining, off and on. I’m actually loving it. The only part I might not enjoy is having one less arm to carry everything. They need to get me an umbrella that will just float over me at all times. That would be fantastic.

Despite my last entry, it appears that now MH and I are “dating,” whatever that means. It was posed to me in the most informal way: So uh, are we like dating or something now? Cuz I mean, sorta seems like it… Yeah, that’s how I remember it. Perhaps it was a bit more eloquent than that, but I was under the influence of a couple shots of Fernet. Oh well, why the heck not, right? I have my reasons for hesitation, but I will play it by ear and just see what happens. I’m not really certain what this entails. I need a handbook or something! I’m not really into the guy in the romantic sense, but heck, what better things do I have to do? Oh wait, yes… WORK. Nah, I do like the attention.

Anyway, the weekend was a relaxing one. Spent most of it with Donna. Despite living in the same house, we hadn’t seen each other in awhile or spent much time together. It was good to just hang out with the sister once again… I hate being so busy because it really cuts down on family time.

Friday’s Feast Questions: here!

Appetizer: How many times per day do you usually laugh?

As often as I can! It really depends on how I am spending my day, and who I am hanging out with. Sometimes I am even breaking a personal record with the laughing at work because of engaging colleagues. Other days, I don’t laugh at all.

Soup: What do your sunglasses look like?

Normal. Not all Paris Hilton-like at all. They are the functional type. Ever since I got my LASIK, it’s all about sunglasses that work to block out the UV rays that are harmful to the eyes!

Salad: You win a free trip to anywhere on your continent, but you have to travel by train. Where do you go?

Oh, I would travel across the country! There’s so much to see from California to the East Coast. If I had all the time in the world, I would take the most scenic route!

Main Course: Name one thing you consider a great quality about living in your town/city.

Weather is usually pretty moderate. People are usually friendly. What’s not to love about San Francisco? Sure, it’s not perfect, but I still love it.

Dessert: If the sky could be another color, what color do you think would look best?

Something that’s not too bright, something soothing. Perhaps a really light green? Or a lavender? But really, if you knew anything about science, the sky isn’t really any color.

From: Free Will Astrology

A friend recently said to me, “You really try hard to avoid conflict, don’t you?” That surprised me. In my own perception of myself, I’m pretty combative, at least in the privacy of my own imagination. The injustice and suffering I see in the world make me mad, and I’m constantly plotting to overthrow the ignorant forces that are at the root of that bad stuff. It’s true that I almost never express naked hostility or engage in outright combat with anyone. But that’s because I think that the best way for me to fight the ugliness is to whip up lavish doses of beauty and truth and love. Sorry to be talking about myself so much, Libra, but it’s in a good cause: I urge you to be like me in the coming week.

I’ve been pretty much doing that, haven’t I? Isn’t it in a Libra’s nature to avoid conflict?
