Happy Earth Day

Unplug everything you own that is using electrical juice. Walk or ride a bike instead of driving. Shower with a friend. Use all your energy to hug & kiss them x o x o

Happy Booday

The best compliment I had was when some one (a man) said that I was a bootifully complicated young woman, lost and scarred, yet intoxicating and so alive. But I put no stock in that talk.

There is a culture at the moment that very much idealizes a certain idea of youth and beauty, yet readily rips it apart. And if you're caught in the middle of it, it gets very frightening. You should be able to let go, say "the hell with it". You will actually be fine. Trust me. I think.

Happy Lunar New Year

according to the lunar calendar, 7 february 2008 is the beginning of the year of the earth rat.

the early years of the earth rat's career seemed like nothing but burning the midnight oil at the time. but in retrospect, the strong work ethic, discipline, caution & long hours are what led to their current life of abundance for themselves & their families. today there is more time to enjoy the fruits of their labor & to do the things they put off for too long. life is filled with weekend escapades, longer excursions, & membership in the unofficial adventurer's club, which requires its "members" to live life to its fullest. one very fulfilling area of their lives is love & romance, filled with hearts & flowers all the time. earth rats are very dependable souls & always attentive towards the needs of their loved ones. together, they share a love that will last for all the moons of their lives.

people born in the year of the rat are noted for their charm & attraction for the opposite sex. they work hard to achieve their goals, acquire possessions & are likely to be perfectionists. rat people are easily angered & love to gossip. their ambitions are big & they are usually very successful. they are most compatible with the dragon, monkey & ox.

rat years are 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996 & 2008
