Overview: It's the perfect astrological weather for simply being you. To celebrate, you've decided to do something lavish, extravagant and totally excessive. Don't be shocked if no one who knows you seems particularly surprised.

Oh, this is just prime time to be you. The rest of the world is feeling as extravagant as you normally do, just this once. (Yes, everyone!) You're feeling lucky, frisky and likely to go overboard in all the categories of fun. Does this mean you'll go totally over the top? Sure hope so. There's no time like the present to do it, especially since you can get almost anyone to join in.

WTF is my horoscope on about this time?

So. I had hot chocolate for breakfast, and then a really long, really hot bath, and I put on my favorite red sweater, and now... I think I'm a little too relaxed. I'm floppy. And now I have to go to class (no, really this time. Really for real this time), and it's cold and rainy and waaaa.

But I finally collected all of my gumption and emailed the Matrix off to Ginger. I mean, y'all know that I had it done last night. But I think that I'm way more nervous about this than I should be. I don't know.

Tomorrow: Phantom of the Opera if it kills me (or someone else).


P.S. What the HELL is going on in Virginia?

Hey, at least Virginia makes Alabama look a bit less stupid now. ;-) Takes the national spotlight off of you guys.

whoa.

Re: the PS, um, that's mind-boggling.

Just when I think I can't get any more appalled, along comes something like that, or DeLay implying that the Asian tsunami was God's vengeance against non-Christians, and my brain goes sploosh all over again. Not to mention the teeth-grinding.

He did what now?

[mokeyhokey.livejournal.com]

I am becoming more and more disillusioned with my country by the day.

Yay for mailing off The Matrix. :)

[marialima.livejournal.com]

Virginia is a state of insanity at this point. Unfortunately, I happen to live here. :( (Okay, I live in the DC area, which is WAY more liberal than the rest of the state).

I've already sent a letter to my delegate and have mobilized my friends/co-workers to send to theirs.

I'm hoping the play this is getting on LJ will mobilize even more Virginians to speak up.

yay on finishing The Matrix. I'm hoping that I can get 5,000 words written this weekend for my own manuscript-in-progress.

"products of conception"?

You know, for people that supposedly put so much stock in life and 'life beginning at conception' I find that definition slightly irritating and bordering on rude, to put it mildly.

[theendofallthat.livejournal.com]

Wow. There's a man who doesn't understand what a miscarriage is, or that a lot of women have them and don't know it.

I wish I got horoscopes as nice as yours. Mine are always, "Oh, you Gemini, you just keep talkin' crazy! Someone will eventually shoot you for it!"

Precisely. But of course conservative men are the best choice for making decisions about female health.

WHAT THE FUCK???

I apologise for the capslocks of rage in your LJ, but seriously - does this have any chance of actually passing? I don't know enough about American law to figure it, but I assume that as people are getting so angry there must be a good chance. Seriously, what on EARTH is going through that man's head?

[cpip.livejournal.com]

In theory it might.

However, at present, all that's happened with this is that it's been written up by a lone state rep, who's put it in the hopper to be discussed at some point in the future. The Virginia Legislature can even cheerfully ignore it utterly.

I'll start having concern if the Virginia House actually brings it to a vote, and if the vote goes their way (it'll still have to pass the Virginia Senate, and then the Governor will have to sign it.)

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

Wow, you get some weird horoscopes.

Hot chocolate, a bath, and a red sweater? I'm jealous. I want hot chocolate now. Maybe we have some NesQuik, which would be better than nothing...

I'm sure the Matrix will be well-recieved. Don't worry about it. And good luck with Phantom.

Jesus H. Christ. That's just... frightening, and I mean that in the literal sense. Frightening.

[koritsimou.livejournal.com]

Re:Virginia. See, this is why I'm moving out of the country as soon as my career takes off. Un. Fucking. Believable.

[wock.livejournal.com]

Why wait?

[wock.livejournal.com]

It's not going to pass. I doubt the state wants to be held up to that much ridicule.

I suspect it was never intended to actually become law- more to make some sort of point.

[fiveforsilver]

What sort of point? "I'm an idiot and know nothing about women's bodies"?


I don't know much about politics, but isn't one of the supposed ideas of the republican party smaller government? And if so, why the @#%& do they keep proposing more and more laws (particularly the stupid ones, like that) to micro-manage people's lives?

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

I have perfect faith that The Matrix was stunning, sublime even. :) I know Ginger will love it. She will, or she shall have the wrath of you fanbase to stand against!!!

As for what Virginia is up to... *shakes head*

[agentirish.livejournal.com]

Virginia is hell in state form in many, many ways. Scary place and they are right next door!

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

Oh, and WHERE do you get your horoscopes from?? Mine went on a long rant today about needing to distance myself from my problems so I can solve them in a calm manner. Sounds less like a horoscope and more like "Common Sense Nuggets From Auntie Matilda"

[thetidebreaks.livejournal.com]

Yeah, when I read that I had the same reaction.

What. the. fuck.

It's awful, really. Just another reason why I really hate the stupid people in this country. -grumbles-

[wock.livejournal.com]

And yet they always spek so highly of you.

on the PS...

[rebel-waltz.livejournal.com]

What are they doing in Virginia?

[disgruntledgrrl.livejournal.com]

They're lo-jacking uteruses.

[lacrimaeveneris.livejournal.com]

In terms of the whole PotO thing... you could probably kill off some Emmy Rossum or something. You know, if you feel the need to vent anger.

[bitterbert.livejournal.com]

The DailyKOS thing is being highly sensationalist. That particular bit of legislation only applies to women who are not under any medical care and do not contact a funeral service. It's an attempt to prevent the dead baby in a dumpster situation by giving the cops another thing to charge people with.
It's not an especially good idea, but it's better then they made it sound.

[wock.livejournal.com]

Interesting, from that perspective. Still, another example of making laws for the worsst actors in society, and then punishing those who might stumble into a technical violation.

[plumsnickety.livejournal.com]

WTF is my horoscope on about this time?

Hee. I needed that giggle. And yes, what's with all of the fru-fru horoscopes all of a sudden?

Hot Chocolate

[ceriddwyn65.livejournal.com]

I gotta ask, what is this particular brand of delicious hot chocolate that you are raving about? I mean, this has GOT to be some fab stuff, the way you are enjoying it. I want to try it.

Re: Hot Chocolate

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I think I'm just on a hot chocolate kick, is all, because I've been drinking three different kinds--Williams & Sonoma's peppermint hot chocolate; mcstevens.com's Rudolph's Creamy Cocoa; and a box of Nestle mix in single-serving packets from, like, the grocery store. Oddly? I think I like the Nestle the best.

[cheapblackpens.livejournal.com]

VA just needs some extra attention. Pretty soon Oregon and Wyoming will be acting up as well.

That man is crazy. Absolutely crazy.

Yay for Matrix :)

♥ Justice

[girlalmighty]

Oh god. What the hell is going on in Virginia? I have to go back there in a week. I love my school and all, but the state is on Republicrack. GRARGH.

I think you'll enjoy POTO, if you ever get to see it. I hope you're relaxing some, and it sounds like you are. Even if your horoscope is also on something.

[onegrain.livejournal.com]

Do you mind if I post the link in my own journal?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hey, I got it from several other people. Go for it.

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Virginia is apparently not For Lovers any more. It's For Misogynist Fuckwits.

[orange852.livejournal.com]

See, that thing about Virginia is too weird for words as far as I'm concerned because everyone I know up there is so reasonable. Where are the whackjobs passing these bills coming from? And why are they running unopposed?
