Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

Sometimes horoscopes are funny that way...

Well, after my Great Venting Of 2005, I'm feeling better.

Perhaps few people read this blog, and even less care. But from time to time, I get to rid my sagging little brain of just a few of things weighing it down.

Today I tried to discreetly withdraw from a situation that I was not directly involved in. Two people I know. And me being me, stuck my fat head in offered advice. Including recently, when I was very, very drunk (I once had a rule about not emailing anyone -- ever -- when I was loaded. Seems I've been getting lazy) and told someone off in no uncertain terms that they were being an arse (you know who you are).

Then the oddest thing happened.

They were happy about it. Well, not so much happy, but pleased with my reaction. And then -- even weirder -- they proceeded to demand more information in the same manner (obviously without ridiculous alcoholic influence).

Today,my horoscope (for Aries from astrology.com) reads like this:

"They'll sit down across from you, or stand right there in front of you, cross their arms and look you straight in the eye. Then they'll ask if you'd please share your opinion of the current situation with them, one-on-one, as a favor -- in confidence.Try not to be rude. You knew you were getting ready to let the world know exactly what you thought, but it wouldn't hurt for them to think they were responsible for this big revelation."

Well, I certainly wasn't intending on sharing anything with the rest of the world... but the rest of it?

Uncanny.
