[ thinking ] horoscopes

leo: Love is not as simple as you thought and you may not be prepared to pay the price. You might believe that you must give up something important to you and you really don't want anyone else to control your plans. A surprise awaits if you just communicate your needs. But do it nicely, and don't expect everything to change overnight.

pisces;Tension between work and home can escalate into an unresolvable dilemma, especially if you are unwilling to negotiate. There is a way through conflict now and it isn't about just being nice to get your way. The key is compassion. State the specifics of your needs as carefully as you can. Then let the discussion unfold without trying to control the outcome. Your love is being tested and the best solution will have something to offer everyone involved.

[ thinking ] misunderstandings

i word things all wrong and often jumble the word order in my sentences
or when i joke around, no one gets it
because i am often inappropriate and not at all amusing.

i hate when people misread comments i make that are sexual especially. these people are often friends who know about how often i respond negatively to sexual activities due to fear of being objectified thus losing possibility for interaction and sucessful emotional intimacy.

oh well
i hope at least tonight i wont have to fight off big black women with the help of robert and a pair of muddy betsey stilettos from my job at the bookstore like my dream last night...

that dream sucked.

amanda's poem about unicorns


imagining you being asleep
lids embracing beautiful brown eyes

wake you from your dreams
i yearn for you to look at me
i become stained with memories
and pictures and thoughts of you

i revel in your soothing touch
you flow through me
and i beg not to escape.
permeating my pores
whetting my appetite for more

lend me your soul and show me what you see
let me feel what you feel
reveal your secrets to me guide me through the deepest corners
of your body and soul

my fingers touch the back of your neck,
your cheeks,
and i swear,
even the moonlight does not
have skin this soft.

the snap of your laughter
the bite of your wit

you are mind soaring
you speak to me in dreams
and follow me like shadows

so to hell with heaven
you're here for now and that's all
i need that's all.

-feeling left out
