    evile: Hey :) How was your weekend?
    skye_dsDS: it was a combination of sleep on couch with heating pad in
    one place and ice on forehead
    skye_dsDS: and adult activity
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: saw Harry Potter Friday night, that was good
    evile: cool
    skye_dsDS: Seasha decided we are moving horses next weekend
    skye_dsDS: that's ok, because I felt like crap this weekend anyway
    skye_dsDS: what did you end up doing? (I haven't read lj yet)
    evile: Nothing much. Went to Ararat Saturday night with Niki, because
    the email said Z helene would be there, and instead it was the act
    they'd billed as their Friday entertainment. Still good,but not what
    I expected.
    evile: did some house cleaning and some cooking and some laundry.
    Krav on Saturday. Nothing really much.
    skye_dsDS: I actually thought about heading into town for that Saturday
    night...right before I passed out again :-/
    evile: there weren't many folks in the audience, and it was cold out.
    So if you were already feeling well, probably best that you didn't
    risk a cold on top of everything else.
    skye_dsDS: wishing for men looks good
    skye_dsDS: everyonce in a while I play my "perfect harem" in my head
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: I had it in mind a few days ago and was thinking about
    posting and then I thought, nah, but now I want to again lol I'm a
    lemming
    evile: heh.
    evile: I like google searching for prettyness.
    skye_dsDS: man did I complicate my friends list
    evile: all the communities, you mean?
    skye_dsDS: <sheepish>
    evile: there's a way to only read individuals rather than groups, but
    I don't know how its done.
    skye_dsDS: you tell it you don't want the community on your friends list
    when you join it
    evile: aha. OK.
    skye_dsDS: it's actually easier for me to have them all on friends so I
    can keep up with them all
    skye_dsDS: just makes daily reading so much longer
    evile: *nod*
    evile: I found an ex's LJ this a.m. That made me feel a bit icky.
    evile: apparently he's recently married & is going to law school.
    skye_dsDS: I have decided that I don't care who tells me what anymore
    evile: OK.
    skye_dsDS: that last rant is my final rant
    skye_dsDS: I told you about finding Randy's picture online right?
    skye_dsDS: it's just weird the way things come at you from out of nowhere
    evile: I always have to question the motives of people who tell
    me 'so and so is saying such and such about you'
    evile: Are they my friends, do they care? or do they just want to see
    how upset they can get me, and see if I'll go entertainingly
    ballistic.
    evile: Apparently, I 'over react' 'all the time' to 'everything'. so
    I'd guess mostly people tell me shit to watch me freak out
    skye_dsDS: have you managed to find happiness that ex is going to law
    school and hope he's happily married?
    evile: *shrug* mostly feel like I dodged a bullet. friggin nazi
    yuppie prick
    evile: Glad I am not his perfect hostess trophy woman baby-factory
    skye_dsDS: nods
    skye_dsDS: I probably told you how I felt when I came across Randy
    unexpectedly
    skye_dsDS: I was doing work research of all things
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: my first t hought was, I'm glad he's doing what he always
    wanted to do, a nd I hope he's happy finally
    skye_dsDS: my second thought, which was completely childish I know, was -
    - omfg, I'm fat, but he's fugly, and I'm on a diet.
    evile: truthfully, I'm surprised my ex got married to a woman. I
    always expected him to turn out gay.
    skye_dsDS: I had a gay boyfriend once. I didn't know until a month into
    the relationship that he was gay. And not because he told me, but
    because someon e who didn't know we were dating told me.
    skye_dsDS: and HE initiated the relationship, go figure.
    skye_dsDS: it got very weird from there (long story, some other time
    maybe)
    evile: *nod*
    evile: In retrospect, I wish I'd discovered my Fag Hag nature earlier
    in life and skipped more of the hetero social scene.
    evile: gay boys are better dancers, more entertaining
    conversationalists, and go to better bars than straight boys.
    evile: Gay boys like cleavage and curves.
    evile: gay boys are fantastically good for my ego.
    skye_dsDS: only problem being, then who do you sleep with
    evile: whereas 80% of my straight experiences left me feeling
    humiliated, ugly, confused, and stupid.
    evile: up till a couple months ago, I was never very interested in
    sex.
    evile: put out because it's expected and I don't want to go thru the
    trouble of cultivating yet another hetero relationship rather than
    any desire for intercourse.
    evile: "If 10 minutes of squishy noises every once in a while will
    keep the person talking to me and spending time with me, well, OK
    then. I can put up with that."
    evile: These days I am more into it...but it still wouldn't be the
    end all/be all of a relationship, were I searching for a new one.
    evile: I have the Blowfish Catalog after all. :P
    evile: Nikiyoy and I were talking about NRE on Saturday; I kind of miss
    it, but it really wasn't worth the rest of the hassle.
    skye_dsDS: I haven't had it in a long time now and truthfully I don't
    miss it
    skye_dsDS: this weekend/week = 3d anniversary with sonar0m, and of course
    like going on 14 with sineater
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: something that saddens me besides demonization in general
    skye_dsDS: and trying not to demonize is why I have limited my rants
    because I think there is a fine line between ranting and demonizing
    skye_dsDS: although I have no desire to call names, just to state facts
    skye_dsDS: but anyway, in addition to demonization in general
    skye_dsDS: this tendency to say, the whole relationship was a mistake
    skye_dsDS: I mean, wtf is that?
    skye_dsDS: how can people go through life saying everything they did
    before they were doing what they're doing now, was a series of
    mistakes?
    skye_dsDS: (be that work or love or whatever kind of relationship)
    skye_dsDS: I mean, I don't think they mean to, but that's admitting to
    some pretty serious stupidity on their own parts
    skye_dsDS: to go through life making nothing but a series of one mistake
    after another
    evile: *shrug* I feel that way, but I don't blame anybody but my owns
    tupid self.
    skye_dsDS: do you forget everything good that happened?
    skye_dsDS: do you just rewrite history altogether?
    skye_dsDS: this is as distasteful to me jsut about as Revisionists who
    want to say the Holocaust didn't happen
    evile: *shrug* No idea.
    skye_dsDS: if there was never anything good about a job or a person in
    the first place
    skye_dsDS: then how stupid is it to have accepted that job or that
    person in the first place
    skye_dsDS: something had to have been good about it, or why would you
    have gone there to begin with?
    evile: My rationale is that I cant' find/do/make anything better, so
    might as well settle and hone those powers of denial, kill time until
    time kills me.
    evile: "it could always be worse" is basically my philosophy of life.
    skye_dsDS: that is true, and a perfectly good philosophy to have
    evile: I've fucked up and done stupid things, but I could have
    fucked up much worse and done a lot more stupid things.
    evile: Seems that Kaleon's made a new beginning and ought to have
    better things to focus his energy on. Oh well. I know YOU certainly
    do.
    skye_dsDS: I don't consider him to be a msitake
    skye_dsDS: tha tcould just be personal vanity on my part
    skye_dsDS: but I don't consider any of my past relationships to be
    mistakes
    evile: *nod* AFOG and allathat.
    skye_dsDS: I don't consider any of my past jobs to be mistakes from the
    get go
    skye_dsDS: or, the ones that were, were my fault, because I knew better
    or should have
    skye_dsDS: what is AFOG?
    evile: "Another Fucking Opportunity (for) Growth"
    skye_dsDS: oh! I've never heard that before
    skye_dsDS: I like lesson. I'm lazy, it's just one word.
    skye_dsDS: he may think he's made a new beginning, but until he learns
    from his history, he's just going to keep repeating it over and over.
    skye_dsDS: but regardless, I'm done.
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: he has so far rewritten our history that I don't believe he
    even remembers the facts anymore
    skye_dsDS: some people tell lies over and over until they believe them
    skye_dsDS: as opposed to people who tell lies and believe them the
    instant they pass the lips
    skye_dsDS: whichever, whatever, regardless, I hope he cherishes his
    temporary happiness, because in the entire time I've known him, he's
    never been happy except temporarily
    skye_dsDS: and he has yet to figure out why
    evile: Well, he's out of your life, and out of your sphere of mutual
    friends, so whatever he does or says...not really your problem
    anymore. SAd that he needs to say that and believe it, sadder that
    people seem to enjoy hearing that kind of stuff from him and
    relationships thrive on that sort of 'poor me' crap.
    evile: I have a couple of guy friends who had their whole 'evil woman
    what done me wrong' story and bla bla, it was not very interesting
    after a short while.
    skye_dsDS: only people he's going to attract with bile are bilious people
    evile: And when my friend Andrew tried to tell me I was 'just like'
    the big heinous evil ex, it pissed me off and broke my heart almost
    simultaneously. In hindsight, it was the only kind of relationship he
    could understand, so that's why he was trying to force me to be Her,
    but I didn't realize it at th e time.
    skye_dsDS: that's identifying behavior(s) with a person, and I heartily
    disagree with that
    skye_dsDS: persons can share behaviors
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: does NOT make them the same people
    skye_dsDS: what I prefer to say is, you know, so and so used to behave
    that way, and it saddened me then, and it saddens me now
    evile: yup. But with some folks, in the same way that diamondbacks
    and coral snakes aren't the same, once you identify the 'venomous
    snake' thing, you don't really want to go much further in exploring
    their glorious differences.
    skye_dsDS: I really don't understand women who are sexually aroused by a
    man spewing venom and bile. I really don't get that. Outside of
    Kaleon I have NEVER gotten that.
    skye_dsDS: it's like...physical abuse, for that matter.
    skye_dsDS: what makes them think, if he hit someone else, he won't hit
    her?
    skye_dsDS: or if he spews venom and bile about someone else, it won't
    happen with her?
    skye_dsDS: what makes t hem think that they're "special"?
    evile: *shrug* I've read and researched abusive relationships quite
    a big, and I can't tell you why.
    skye_dsDS: I don't understand men quite a bit. I don't understand women
    more than I don't understand men. I think, I don't understand
    people, in general.
    evile: yup
    skye_dsDS: I don't know what people (Xtal & Kaleon fer instance, but more
    generally as well) don't get about this
    skye_dsDS: no, we do not want to know anything else about them
    skye_dsDS: not their successes, not their failures, nothing
    evile: yup
    skye_dsDS: it is not entertaining. don't want to wish them happiness,
    don't want to gloat when they fall, just don't. don't want them to
    go away mad, just to go away. period.
    evile: yup. It still creeps me out no end that Xtal came to my house
    and put a note on my door....at least you don't have to worry about
    that with Kaleon.
    skye_dsDS: hopefully
    skye_dsDS: he still sends his little minions out to harangue me
    skye_dsDS: and it has been suggested to me that I stop posting details
    about where I'm going to be and when on my LJ
    skye_dsDS: but that's one of the primary reasons I HAVE an LJ, originally
    evile: well, and you have enough property to where you could
    definitely justify shooting someone who came all the way off the main
    road & on to your property & up to your house.
    skye_dsDS: damn straight
    evile: I keep all my 'where I'm going/what I'm doing' under friends-
    lock.
    skye_dsDS: I don't think he'd be stupid enough to show up at the ranch.
    skye_dsDS: more likely to show up somewhere socially and then accuse me
    of following HIM there
    evile: There's stilla chance that if I say I''m going to be out of
    town, someone will come by and rob or vandalize, but at least I've
    got a narrower list of suspects if that happens.
    skye_dsDS: that's very true. and much more chance that Xtal & Co would
    do that kind of activity.
    skye_dsDS: Kaleon I think is more likely to show up somewhere he knows I
    am, to stalk me, and then turn it around and say I was stalking him
    evile: At this point, he's been gone long enough that I don't think
    there's anyone at GWNN or poly who would remember him, so if he tried
    to pull some kind of 'I was here first, why are you following me'
    there, he'd get laughed at (and that's the BeST possible outcome)
    skye_dsDS: showing up at the ranch would n ot create public drama, and
    would just get him shot
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: by us or by the Sheriff. That's the Sheriff's response to
    everything. "Wanna shootem r want me 2?"
    evile: I told [Cousin B] I was done with being tactful; if he brings home an
    abusive psycho, I'm just gonna shoot the bitch and bury her in an
    unmarked grave.
    skye_dsDS: I'm tired of censoring myself
    skye_dsDS: my journal dammit and I'm going to say what I want to say.
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: I use cuts more than judiciously, nobody has to read it if
    they don't want to
    evile: exactly.
    skye_dsDS: I"m not going to worry about what pointyhead is translating
    what I say into whatever else
    skye_dsDS: and if pointyheads want to show up where I"m at, well, that's
    been done before
    skye_dsDS: it didn't turn out well
    skye_dsDS: last person who did it got bitten and nearly kicked by two
    horses and nearly physically thrown out by the entire camp of
    equestrians
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: I love, I am loved, thereby rendering public attacks on me
    pointless and stupid
    evile: *nod*
    evile: The people who know you and love you are not going to be
    persuaded by the people who don't...so don't give the jerks your time
    and energy.
    evile: Do you rown thing, spend time with the people whose company
    you enjoy, who enjoy yours, and dont' worry about people who dont'
    have anything better to do than try and rain on your parade. If you
    don't give them any response, they'll give up, eventually.
    skye_dsDS: don't care whether they give up or not. Although after this
    many years, I begin to think they aren't ever going to give up
    skye_dsDS: they're pitiful
    skye_dsDS: "look, look, I'm happy, look evil bitch, be jealous!
    skye_dsDS: whatever
    evile: I get very mad at perceived unfairness/injustice/lies/smears
    on my character....but really, that just gives the person what they
    want. Even if they do upset me, I'm not going to let them see it
    anymore.
    skye_dsDS: control your character. can't do shit about your reputation.
    skye_dsDS: I am much happier now that I know that my reputation hasn't
    got squat to do with my character.
    skye_dsDS: completely unearned
    skye_dsDS: not my fault.
    skye_dsDS: see, part of owning your own shit
    skye_dsDS: is NOT owning shit that ISN"T yours
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: and for the first three decades of my life, I was convinced
    that EVERYBODY'S shit was my shit to own
    skye_dsDS: I am continually amazed, I guess moreso lately although I
    don't know why
    skye_dsDS: that people swallow such unadulterated big fucking lies
    skye_dsDS: with such ease
    skye_dsDS: it's like...don't you need like vaseline or castor oil to
    swallow that shit whole? no? wtf?
    skye_dsDS: I may be going back into another one of my "people are in
    general fucking stupid" phase.
    evile: yup
    skye_dsDS: I think if I hadn't been holding back that Words Mean Things
    rant for so long, it might not have been as bad as it was
    skye_dsDS: and i held it back because I was so worried about what other
    people were going to think
    skye_dsDS: both my friends and those who are not
    evile: *nod*
    skye_dsDS: so from now on I'm just going to post whatever goes through
    my own little mind and anybody who doesn't like it can close their
    eyes and not read it
    evile: exactly
    evile: Meanwhile, I'm re-resolving to make my LJ less about the
    existential angst and more about 'hey, lets do stuff together'
    skye_dsDS: I see people apologizing for venting angst all the time
    skye_dsDS: I would think that venting it in a journal is far better than
    venting it anywhere else
    skye_dsDS: what does one expect when reading another person's inner
    thoughts anyway?
    evile: I see it as "if I would not do this to you in person, I'm not
    going to inflict it on you in writing" and that's where I"m going to
    try and steer from now on.
    evile: Venting doesn' t make me feel better, it makes me feel stupid
    afterwards. Why keep doing that to myself?
    evile: The SBC might stil get angst from time to time...they're
    really the only pepole I'd trust in person with that kind of whining,
    so I guess they'll continue to get it on LJ.
    evile: Whining and bitching does not win friends and influence
    people, nor does complaining about how alone I am motivate people to
    do things with me. AND it doesnt' make me feel better. SO, it needs
    to stop.
    skye_dsDS: if it doesn't make you feel better, I completely agree.
    evile: yup
    evile: holy crap.
    http://www.livejournal.com/users/whitewillows/208431.html
    skye_dsDS: somebody finally gets it enough to write about it. good.
    evile: probably not enough legal precedent for me to sue and retire
    with millions, though. Oh well. it's rather validating to have a name
    for what happens to me here.
    skye_dsDS: nods
    skye_dsDS: just what I needed, a new playtoy (sparkly graphix)
    evile: heh.
    skye_dsDS: LJ is slow today
    skye_dsDS: probably everybody playing with sparklies LOL
    evile: They're moving servers
    evile: It was slow all weekend.
    skye_dsDS: get to go to the courthouse to file a suit, woo
    skye_dsDS: <less than enthused
    evile: yeah....
    evile: Know what you mean about the holidays...this year, though,
    they're not going to be so bad.
    skye_dsDS: you have always had better sense about how to avoid what you
    don't like
    skye_dsDS: off to courthouse, bbiab *sigh*
    evile: I don't have to avoid anything. Nothing's happening :)
    Have a nice trip :)

Our Thanksgiving Week ahead.

We start our thankful week out with the Moon in Leo. But the big news
is we release that Sun in Scorpio as it moves into Sagittarius just
after midnight Monday! Sagittarius is the sign of optimism. No wonder
our Pilgrim ancestors were in the mood to celebrate.

Saturn turns retrograde on Tuesday. This is its five month stay in a
retrograde state! It is your "build a plan stage". So for you
Capricorn's - - - it is back to the drawing board. What have you done
that is right? What do you need to do to improve? That is what you are
working with until April 6, 2006. And like any good engineer, plan now
for long term projects. Launch those projects in the spring.

Our void-of-course moons are few this week. Wednesday morning the Moon
is void from midnight on Tuesday until 1:41 PM in the afternoon. And
Friday afternoon there is a void-of-course Moon.

Thanksgiving holds a Virgo moon. You'll focus attention to food. Virgo
says "keep it simple" and it has to be right. Just the basics
madam…sir, just the basics.

Mercury remains in its retrograde state (Mercury you little trickster
you). It does move back into Scorpio for a short stay from the 26th
November until the 13th of December. Research and investigation is
part of its aim while it is in Scorpio. The good news is it turns
direct on the 4th of December.

Personal misunderstandings may be more flawed while it is in Scorpio.
Certainly delayed communications may cause one to think that other
people are hiding facts; however, this may not be the case. It may
simply be they are not thinking of sharing their thoughts at the moment.

The glitches and breakdowns with electronic media, land lines, cell
phone, computers and cars continue. Be sure you have your emergency
kit ready for your Thanksgiving travel.

Jupiter is in harmony with Uranus this Friday and Saturday, post
Thanksgiving Day. Try to keep an open mind for looking at new ways of
doing old things with refreshing insight.

And our quote for the day.....

Today, may there be peace within.

May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are
meant to be.

May you always remember the infinite possibilities that are born out
of Faith.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love
that has been given to you.

May you be content knowing you are a Child of God.

Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the
freedom to sing, dance, and bask in the Sun.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishes to you and yours on this Thanksgiving Holiday.

SKREEE.
"I am Poly through both Nature and Nurture.
Nature: My sun is in Gemini. My moon is in Gemini. My Uranus is in
Libra. What that means, interpreted here:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/skye_ds_ds/72052.html"

Now call me forgetful, but I can't remember reading about the
influence of wannabe pseudo-science when I learned about the nature-
nurture debate. Or is it a cheap and easy way to rationalise
personality traits without having to know anything relevant?

my god what a pile of crap. Especially when you follow the links and

I did not follow the second link. I saw her astrology thing and
read "Skye DreamSinger" (thanks pixel, for not making me go back to
find the exact name again), felt the bile rise, and thought it would
be best if I didn't actually read the rest.

As it was it was pretty difficult not to call her an intellectual
throwback to the Stone Age.

Come to think of it, if I had she probably would've said "That's how
old Wicca is ^_^" and pranced off. Hardly satisfying.

The second link mentioned not using the "ways" or something like
that - may as well have called it "magycke", so as not to bring
the "Old Religion" into disrepute. It also had various namedrops that
sounded like a bad fantasy novel... and that was from 30 seconds of
skimming...

y'know, reading further, her "religion" seems to be largely about
dancing around naked, having sex with whoever you like, with some
vague and inconsistent references to various gods, goddesses and the
moon, and a good healthy dose of anti-christian rhetoric. I mean,
what, aren't other religions good enough for their ire?

My god, it's full of Pagans... You don't know what sort of trauma
you're reminding me of here. When I lived in Amsineatera I lived with ...
evangelical swinging Wiccabunnies.

The scars, they are so fresh and weeping :'(

When I was a real estate agent, I held an open house on Uranus Street
in San Francisco. The listing agent preferred to pronounce
it "Urinous", as in full of urine. And it *is* just up the hill from
The Castro, thankyouverymuch.

Another agent told me that he knew the guy who bought 69 Uranus, and
was getting good humor mileage from the address.

Uranus is in Libra. What that means, interpreted here:

Uranus has an 84-year orbit, so it spends 7 years in each
constellation; Neptune, 165 years, so about 23 in each; and Pluto,
247, so about 35 in each.

If each of those causes personality effects strong enough to be worth
predicting, why weren't astrologers able to predict the existence of
those planets? That ought to be a whole lot easier than astronomers
sitting at telescopes looking for fuzzy little dots amongst millions
of other fuzzy little dots, surely?

It's not original to me - sclerotic_rings suggested it a few weeks
back, and he got some inspiration from HPL's Dreams in the Witch-

Well, you know, if you read far enough through the interpretation, it
says the poster's entire peer group is into experimenting with
relationships and stuff, so all seven years' worth of people are
poly. Some of them are just deluded and don't know it.

It's obvious that those astrologers were just behind the astronomers.
Soon they'll catch up and start discovering new invisible planets.

...there are actually some atrology nutbars out there who believe
there is an invisible second "dark" moon orbiting the Earth.

Don't let them get started on discovering stuff.

After all, they might discover Uranus.

Didn't you know? All Geminis are natural polyfolk. And all polyfolk
are Geminis. (Well, all True Polyfolk™ are Geminis. The rest of us
are just pretending to be poly.)

Well, one of the twin's names is POLYdeuces. Which is Greek for "very
sweet."

His brother's name is Castor, which is Greek for "beaver."

Perhaps Gemini's are polyfolk with very sweet beavers?

I'm poly, but not with Nature. Only with, you know, people.

Most of us call it something else when you're poly with the rest of
Nature.

Poly by Nature *And* Nurture
skye_ds_ds
2005-11-21 10:56 pm UTC (link) 
I am Poly through both Nature and Nurture.

Nature: My sun is in Gemini. My moon is in Gemini. My Uranus is in
Libra. What that means, interpreted here:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/skye_ds_ds/72052.html

Nurture: The Words of Aradia Concerning Love, Sex, and Marriage.
These can be found here:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/skye_ds_ds/4109.html

And I completely agree that while Poly can be a conscious choice, it
no more *has* to be a conscious choice than any other state of being,
for example, hetero/homo/bisexuality, etc.
