Horoscopes amuse me

so sometimes I look at my horoscope because it amuses me.


Week commencing Saturday, 23rd August 2003
TAURUS
(Apr 21 - May 21)
From the earliest age we are urged to do as we are told. Our parents reward “good behaviour” and punish “bad”. Then, our aunties and uncles get in on the act, along with our - other family members. Their instructions do not always agree. We soon learn how to tailor our activity to suit different figures of authority. And then, we get to school! Suddenly, we have demanding, judgemental teachers to please and complex rules to follow. Eventually, we grow up and, ironically, are then expected to think for ourselves! Yet by now, we have lived our whole lives in fear of failure to conform. This week requires you to stage a rebellion. You must be brave, bold and bolshy, no matter who you upset.

Umm....yeah i'm supposed to be a rebel this week....pardon me while I spit on your hair.

Happy Kim Mode ?

I’m in a surprisingly good mood today. I think my post-Pennsic malaise has finally lifted. Last week, I was definitely grumping about the office, to the point where a few people commented on how I didn’t look happy (as per usual).

This week I’m getting compliments and people telling me I look like I’ve lost weight, and gee isn’t that a nice colour on you. I suspect this is all due to the change in my mood.

The post-Pennsic blahs were a combination of things – I honestly didn’t have a great Pennsic. It wasn’t horrible but it was not as good as some of my past experiences. There were a lot of trivial factors going into this including the weather.

I came to the end of war week feeling like war hadn’t started yet, and still waiting for the hay wagons to make their rounds and all of the cars to disapear into the parking lot. I never lost myself in the event. I never forgot I was in rural PA and not somewheres else. Heck, the closest I came to losing myself was walking around the lake at night :) I still had an overall good time but not as much as normal.

So my Pennsic wasn’t great but I did get to see great friends, many I do not see nearly enough of and who live far away. I truly love nearly everyone I camp with. Unfortunately, I didn’t hang out with nearly enough of them or spend enough quality time (again in part due to the weather).

When I left Pennsic, I felt a great deal of sadness that I do not live closer to many of my friends or they to me. It brought on a wave of vague homesickness for the bog, for the albany area, and for western massachusetts that lasted into most of last week. When you add my sleep deprivation into this mix, there’s one logical result ..slightly gloomy Kim. Grump grump grump. Grrrrrrr. It happened last year as well, but I managed to shake it off quicker.

Thursday - I gave up my officer status in the barony. I also got invited to caravan down with some other friends to the Tolkien Tourney in RI and finally got a haircut (yeah!). There was much goodness and hanging out mixed in with a bit of bardic fun at the local craft night. I may actually start doing small bardic things. There’s also talk of forming a new vocal group in our area.

This weekend probably helped as well, as I got to hang around with people (new and old), watch random movies, have visitors come from Albany, play with heavy list stuff, and just be at home. I also played with case (two sword) a good deal and since this is intensely silly form it usually makes me feel better. There were some odd moments this weekend as well- as people from the past re-emerged...but this is actually a good thing (tm). All in all - a no pressure weekend. So yeah I’m in happy Kim mode. I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.
