i am the otter

 

This is so cool. I am the otter. I love otters. Yay!

Also the otter description is cool:

Otter: Jan 20 – Feb 18

A little quirky, and unorthodox, the Otter is a hard one to figure sometimes. Perceived as unconventional, the Otter methods aren’t the first ones chosen to get the job done. This is a big mistake on the part of others – because although unconventional, the Otter’s methods are usually quite effective.

Yes, the Otter has unusual way of looking at things, but he/she is equipped with a brilliant imagination and intelligence, allowing him/her an edge over every one else. Often very perceptive and intuitive, the Otter makes a very good friend, and can be very attentive.

In a nurturing environment the Otter is sensitive, sympathetic, courageous, and honest. Left to his/her own devices, the Otter can be unscrupulous, lewd, rebellious, and isolated.

Not the otter? Go read up on your animal sign at Earth We Are One.

 

 

rabbit’s friend

 

I have this rule.

If you think it, check it.

It could be a dumb thought, anything, like, you are approaching an alley, there is a trashcan in the alley, and it goes through your head, someone could be behind that trashcan in that alley.

Generally speaking, this would be paranoia. Generally speaking, someone who, walking towards an alley who said, We are not taking this alley tonight, there could be someone behind the trashcan in that alley? Would be viewed as kind of crazed whacked out.

Here is the thing about me. When I think those things? When they go through my head? Strongly enough or just fleetingly enough I am willing to say, Not going there, we take a longer route?

Most of the time, people just humor me, without knowing why, they sort of have to, I am pretty insistent, but sometimes?

Sometimes after I say that, the news comes on and is kind of scary and someone says, Good thing we did not go that way tonight. And then they look at me. Funny.

There is a card in the animal cards I own. It is Rabbit. It is a funny card. Just a rabbit. But it has this story. In the story, the rabbit and his buddy are on a trail, walking forward, and his buddy says, We are in danger. And the rabbit says, How do you know? And the friend says, I do not know, we just are, step aside. And they do.

And sure enough, danger comes, but it passes them by.

And then they continue on the trail, but the rabbit is looking side eyes at his friend. “How did he know?”

Rabbit and his friend enter three areas of danger, and every time Rabbit’s friend says, We are in danger, they step aside, and it saves them.

And then, Rabbit says to his friend, I fear you.

And Rabbit’s friend says, I have magic that has saved us three times, and you, because of my love for you, and at the end of that, all you do is fear me? And Rabbit’s friend goes away.

damn techonology

 

Technology is making me crazy today.

I tried to post earlier but the wordpress servers kept resetting each time I tried to save something. [Bastard!] My images would not load. Netflix has conveniently logged my returns late again meaning nothing is showing up today that should be. YouTube will not play it keeps starting and stopping — probably because my cable is screwing up again. Mail is being tiffy about sending. And the dumb people who manage the building have not gotten me my new laundry card so I am on the end of two weeks sans laundry card and wearing questionable attire.

It is one of those days.

Oh, also, one of my neighbors was staring at me from outside this morning when I was in bed using the laptop. This sort of creeps me out because I am pretty sure he is the registered sex offender who lives on the third floor that building management is pretending they do not know about and keeping under wraps. [Um, building management, that is illegal and also kind of dumb and also everyone knows about him anyway so who are you kidding?]

It is okay though. I believe I am outside his age range of preference.

See you on the flip.

your tarot card is…

 

You are the Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love.

Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter Persephone was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

just say no to susan

 

Immediately after Giving Susan the Snub —

Susan’s Revenge began.

Eight lightbulbs blew, the toilet broke, I cut my foot on glass, one of my tooth re-surface enamels came off, [fuck, I am so putting off calling the dentist], the printer started malfunctioning — hell electronics all the hell over the loft blew — the nefarious bug Ginormo returned, AND my face broke out BUT —

Since then?

My thumb — which has been an ongoing self repeating injury for over a freaking year — started to heal, my [um guys cover your eyes, okay never mind that one I will skip but it is a good thing], unexpected cash showed out of the blue, we attached a director to the script, cute guys who on purpose volunteer to quiet down if you stick your head out into the hall moved in down the hall, domestic violence neighbor guy stopped making noise, so did faux record recording guy, bad “let’s break things jack off and beat up fags” upstairs neighbor guy just got laid — which if you have to hear him up there on a regular basis is hella more entertaining than listening to him and/or his taser friends — AND my butt rose a quarter inch.

Yay! Yay! Yay!

I am so sticking with the boycott Susan thing.

apocalyptic horoscope dilemma

 

So. It is the beginning —

Of the month. That used to mean climb into body armor and go to Susan’s with back up to be mocked and abused.

We boycotted Susan last month. We just did not go.

But. We still need horoscopes.

Oh the dilemma.

the psychic of second avenue

 

There was this psychic —

She sat in the window once a week in a used clothing store on Second Avenue.

This was in Seattle.

Most days I had dogs with me so I never went in.

But one day I was dog free and did go in.

She wore many bracelets. And had a little card table. And she told me to hold a crystal ball.

After a little while, she took the crystal back and held it in her hands and said I put a lot of energy into that crystal.

Then she told me I had an exciting future in the food service industry and I paid her her ten dollars.

just say no to….

 

 

CANCER

 

Clingy, emotional, and very private — it is hard to escape a Cancer’s clutches. And while Cancer will want to know everything about you, they’re anything but open in return.

[Good to know.]

Instead try dating : Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, or Aquarius.

[You mean, vain, promiscuous, two faced, or myself?]

[I so see problems here.]

[Also this is especially funny to me this month.]
