In other news: June is Birthday Month. Did you guys know that? Does anyone else know what i'm talking about? There are five big ones this month (that i can think of right now, anyway), plus me and Nat's anniversary. Phew. It's gonna be hectic.
Not to mention that the county fair is coming up... yay! Let's see, last year Marilena did the bungee jump, and the year before that we ate deep-fried Snickers and ogled gemstones all night long. Wonder what this year will have in store. (i can't believe we're in year three down here in SoCal. What a world.)
i helped a minimum of 3 incredibly intoxicated individuals on Sunday (one of them tried to sneak-attack a pigeon), and on Friday afternoon i met a woman named Purple. She asked me if i was a Gemini, to which i replied, "no, but i do have Gemini rising." she goes, "well, obviously!" as if that explained everything, or that she had known all along. Come on, lady. i enjoy astrology/tarot just as much as the next gal, but don't embarrass yourself. No, i shouldn't be cruel. She was actually really nice, and i realized that i was heading down a road where i might end up just like her some day: still riding a bicycle at age 50+, still wearing too much eye makeup, and possibly enjoying the color purple a little too much (as in: her plush bike seat, leg-warmers, shirt, backpack, eye shadow, handlebar streamers, etc.). But it's okay. i hope to remain free-spirited and young at heart. It's sort of what keeps me going, especially on days when North Korea is testing long-range missiles, the Taliban kidnaps hundreds of schoolchildren, and an entire passenger jet is lost at sea.
The insomnia does tend to set in... what are we doing with our lives?
Are you happy with the way you spend your time?
What are you really supposed to be doing?
Does it really matter what anyone should be doing?
Sometimes i am alarmed by the broadening gaps in my thought processes. Where short, neuron-rich connections used to spark and fly, i am noticing myself more and more drift away along long, echoing misty chasms that twist and spiral along (seemingly endlessly) with the grooves of my neural flesh. Kind of like "the Nothing" from Neverending Story.
But enough rambling. here it is. Happy June.

June is a celebration to me also. I carry one definite trait of my Gemini birth. I DO see both sides to each story, argument, or possible disagreement. If you read the general description of "Gemini people", that's me! Happy Anniversary and all the other things. June is good, even if the weather is crappy :)
Ha! i wish i could only see two sides to everything; instead there seem to be endless permutations. ;)
Also, i tend to adore Geminis... they are tops, in my book. Oh! and i forgot the part of the story where i told the woman i was a Scorpio, and she went "oooohhhh" like they always do. Hmph! am i so transparent?
p.s.) i adore cloudy, grey skies and cold/snow/rain. it's frustrating for me to live in a perpetually sunny place like San Diego and then have people instantly bitch and moan when there is even a two-day stretch of overcast weather. Maybe i should start complaining every time there's a hot, sunny day...! Yeah, let's see how far that gets me. :P
p.s.) happy early birthday!
