A Kind of Failure.

It seems a curious fact that I’ve always found the pursuit of the unattainable more compelling than aspiring to the attainable. I wonder why that is. Could it stem from a subconscious need to fail so as to vindicate my low opinion of myself? Or is that too Freudian? Is it really more to do with having a taste for the fantastical?

Well, whatever. The unfortunate fact is that the seemingly unattainable has often been gained, which is probably part of my tragedy: not setting my sights high enough.

Just a Piscean under achiever. JK.

Andrea, I'm far too drunk to argue with you, but I have to ask:

What the hell are you talking about? I'm not a Piscean, I'm a Sagittarian (though my moon is in Pisces, admitted.) And who is JK? And where've you been all day? I missed you.

JK= Just Kidding.

You must have mentioned to me that your moon is in Pisces and i was thinking your sun was.

Sagittarius :P I've only known four Saggitarians personally and they are all women and i never got along with them. All selfish and self centered and conceited. And assholes You don't seem like them at all.

I've been playing with Liam and his toys all day. Chasing him around the apartment and watching cartoons. And now i have a horrible song in my head from his favorite show. "I really love to speeeellll S-P-E-L-L! I really love to Speeeelll S-P-E-L-L! What letter makes an sss sound? S! What letter makes a puh sound? P! What letter makes an eh sound? E! What letter makes a la sound? L! Put them all together and what do the spell? S P E L L!" and on and on. Too bad you don't know the tune, then you could sing it in your head all night.

It almost seems that my statement 'you don't seem like them at all' could be sarcastic. It isn't. I think you're a very good sort of person :)

How do you manage to be so lovable? Is it a Scorpio thing? Tell me. I need to know. I have Scorpio rising!

Andrea, you rescued my Friday night. Thank you.Go Liam!

OK... Saturday night. It's late.

I'm not sure. Maybe it is. Actually, sometimes i think about some things i've suffered through in the past and can see how i changed due to them and i think that's why i'm so 'lovable' and am able to empathize better than most. But, being a Scorpio, sometimes i'm not so lovable or empathetic ;)

My rising is Pisces. My moon is also Scorpio. I'm drowning over here!

Actually, i'm kind of thirsty. Too bad i can't share your Scotch.

You mean the infamous sting? Stings are OK, they wear off. Stings aren't nasty.

So come to England. I always keep a spare bottle in, just in case of drifting snow. You can share it.
