Does this stuff mean anything? Really?
And why do the different “aspects” seem to contradict others?
After all, most of this is stuff in which anyone could see themselves.
But… for fun…
Your Moon Nakshatra is Sravana
Sravana means hearing.
The Symbol of Sravana is an ear. Sravana is ruled by the Moon, which gives you a desire to nurture others and feel emotionally connected and peaceful. Your happiness in life will be determined by your emotions.
Mythologically, Lord Vishnu is the Deity of Sravana. Vishnu is the maintainer of the universe. Lord Vishnu pervades all of existence and senses the hidden truth and meaning in all actions. He hears the truth behind words we speak. He sees the truth behind the actions we take. Lord Vishnu empowers Sravana with the capacity to feel into the deeper meaning veiled by the illusory appearance of the world. A practical intuition and earthy sensibility has been anointed upon the nakshatra of Sravana. The capacity for spiritual growth and meditation using sacred sounds (mantras) and music is found here. The power to connect all things in a meaningful way is given here.
Strengths: You will be hard to deceive, always sensing the subtle meaning behind what words are spoken and what actions are performed. An angelic presence and mentality draws others to you. You easily earn the respect and trust of your peers and act responsibly when trust is given. You are an expert at helping others find their station in life and connect people to each other. You also possess a naturally devoted mentality.
Shadow issues: Be careful with the tendency to wrap up too much of your identity in the opinions of others and the bonds formed with them. This may lead to destructive habits such as gossiping, jealousy, and an over-sensitivity, which brings enemies your way. You also must be careful not to have a stubborn mindset. You may expect a lot in return for your care and service to others. Be careful not to become a martyr, satisfying your needs through guilt trips.
oooooh.
Those of you who know me… whaddaya think, kids?
Btw… got it from Astrocenter.com. In case you want to play, too.
I met one of my neighbors on my porch today…
At first I thought we weren’t going to be friends…
But then, when I went downstairs, my attention was requested…
And we had happy fun scratchy time together, oh… it was bliss…
And that’s when I met Satan…
Apparently it was just a little too good… too exciting… too itchy scratchy… and I have a war wound…
I picked these up at a consignment store a while back, along with several OTHER pairs of pretty foot coverings.
Apparently there’s some woman out there with the same size foot as me who buys gorgeous shoes, wears them once or twice, or never wears them, then decides to take them to the consignment store.
Yay for me!
So, I got lucky when my friend, Madame Peekaboo Pansy, called me from the store and said “You need to get down here right now. There are these shoes here on sale for $12 a pair.”
So I did. And went home with 10 pairs of shoes for probably a tenth of what was originally paid for them.
I… had a shoegasm.
This shot was taken on June 13th, at the Suicide Lounge show, by the lovely APJ, who incidentally also has great appreciation for a fine pair of heels.
though I doubt it’s the right way to go about making a choice. Then again, honestly I don’t think the choice matters anyway.

Subject: Irish thoughts on 08 Election
THOUGHTS FROM ACROSS THE POND
An email from Ireland to their brethren in the States…
a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:‘We, in Ireland, can’t figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States.
On one side, you have a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who can’t keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn’t even like the country her husband wants to run.
Now… On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate Mc terminology married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.

Meeting with someone to discuss the gig tomorrow.
I started sitting for life drawing sessions and workshops. And I’m finding it rewarding. Not just because I get paid to sit still for a few hours. It’s really fun for me to get up between poses and see what each of the artists is doing. It’s always so interesting to see what each person’s different style and medium brings forth on canvas or paper. It doesn’t matter to me whether it’s a style or a look that I prefer. I find that I really enjoy just being an instrument these people can use to create something they think is beautiful. Sometimes it’s just a vague sketch of a figure, sometimes there is detail, sometimes it’s splashes of color in the shape of me, sometimes it’s just a simple sketch.
I find it all fascinating, and very rewarding that just by sitting still I make it possible for these people to express something that might not have been otherwise.
I sat on Tuesday evening, and this is the product of one of the artists. Believe it or not, she had this nearly done by the end of the first 20 minute pose. I neglected to get her name, but I was so impressed. She does beautiful work, and I hope to see more of the things she’s done.
*I* got to go to a wedding last Saturday.
It was the wedding of these two bloggers.
Aaaaand… since they successfully completed the gauntlet of planning, organizing, and surviving ceremony, reception, and groovin’ concert party… they’re taking some well-deserved time to get-the-hell-out-of-Dodge and enjoy a honeymoon. Hence… They will NOT HNT this week.
But, hey. That’s what friends are for. So we’re HNT-ing FOR them. Because that’s how we are. Lecram’s camera captured the following, and I’m sure you’ll see other comments and perspectives from some of the other bloggers who were caught enjoying the festivities.
The bride, with a particularly HNT-like pose:
The groom. No… not that guy… THAT guy, to whom he points:
Aren’t they cute?
And, of course, there were many bloggers in attendance.
Me… with the bride (I swear, I adore this woman):
And another of me with this blogger, and of course you know THAT guy:
Graced with appearances by these two:
Here’s APJ with Mrs. Thereminman:
And, of course, the ever-lovely Solitaire:
And, a bonus photo. My very own podling with 1/3 of the Suicide Lounge, the Fabulous Fingers B:
The evening was lovely, the happy couple looked… well, very happy. And everyone there was happy FOR them. Great food and drink, great company among those who love and care for the bride and groom, then later, a GREAT show by Ticket To Ride and dancing off of feetsies. While the band took a break, a beautiful moment between bride and groom engineered by friends because of a SNAFU with the vows at the ceremony. I’ll let others describe the situation. I’ll just say that in my opinion, such a SNAFU made the evening more sweet for those watching because of the friends who went out of their way to make sure that vows WERE said in the manner intended and… well… Somebody else tell the story, because I wouldn’t do it justice.
It was just wonderful to see two such amazing people be supported by friends who love them so much.
Happy HNT to everyone. And Congratulations and Best Wishes and MANY Happy Returns of the Day to Zx3gurl and Fishstick. I wish you a wonderful forever.
Update 9:59 a.m.
Generik took photos at the wedding too. They’re here. (In case you didn’t see the link he left in the comments for this post.) Some really great shots! I’m totally stealing the ones with the podling in them.
Ok, so who’s going to pool all these various photos into a site/blog for Zx3gurl and Fishstick?
I must move into smaller digs. Very soon. I’m going broke. No… I AM broke and need to pay less rent. SO… in a smaller space, I’ll need less furniture that takes up room.
Especially since I don’t like a lot of furniture to begin with. And since it’s just me… I don’t need a lot of chairs most of the time. It would be so nice to have something I could just pull out when people actually came to visit.
You can’t tell, can you? Me… hiding… among the tiki wine gods…
Of course, there were empty cups. SOMEone was supposed to join us for the ritual burning of meat, a low-key homage to the impending un-bachelorness of a longtime bachelor. But called and cancelled. So we burned meat and sacrificed the green fairy and some wine to… somebody. There were other celebrants as well.
