"and then a woman comes along as is all 'lick my boots!!!' ,and bam!!! he's hooked...I mean, what's that all about,seriously ?? I'm in awe at the whole charade"
They all have a need to submit to something greater than them😉🙂
"It's probably trying to save your eyes or something,M...(although,with d/ling it only allows a set amount within a certain allotted time,so maybe it's the same with streaming ??)"
haha! I love the 10 different movies on only 2 discs for 10 kuai. I want to go back, I miss the "zhong gua rens".
I still use yukou and tudou. Its funny, now I can recognize some characters on the subtitles as opposed to when it all looked like scribble to me. How cool is that.
yea same as youku and tudou - somedays it'll stream for hours and somedays better...don't know...too much hassle.
might try out the megavid now you mention it though.
shi de 🙂 zhong guo hen cool.
I still use yukou and tudou. Its funny, now I can recognize some characters on the subtitles as opposed to when it all looked like scribble to me. How cool is that. lol - quite cool that ! good feeling too, right?
was watching some cartoons earlier today I got over there and they had the chinese subtitles....stopped watching and tried to pick out the characters I could still remember. really need to get back on the lessons...don't wanna get rusty with the little I learnt!
first of all, i am not a "typical pisces"...i have fun with astrology and play around with it, but really, i am so over all of it...i am so beyond pisces...
so do i have a "martyr sundrome"? - NO
and knowing what i do about aqua females, i am positive that anyone they choose to be with must have a strong and clear sense of himself, and be willing to stand up for himself and HIS beliefs...
although they want to be put on a pedestal, they don't want a pushover...although they like to be the boss, they don't like to be bossy OR be be able to completely boss you around...
its a fine line to walk with these women...its a big game and your game had better be good if you want success with an aqua woman...
Do you think a marriage would survive what you really think of her deep down? It seems to have the pattern of an addictive relationship. Addictive relationships are not healthy.
and secondly, although i am addicted to her, we all have our vices as people...
i am sure you have yours too....
one of my vices is aqaurius women...it could be worse...
and i love her for who she is...she is totally unique and as far as "subconscious urges", if you know anything about pisces, you should know that pisces RULES the SUBCONSCIOUS...
anything that may be subconscious at one point or another with us eventually comes to the surface of our consciousness....
and i am positive one could strongly argue that most people seek out their partners BASED ON THEIR SUBCONSCIOUS URGES! - talk to a freudian psychoanalyst and i am positve he would be happy to argue this...
i just wont argue it any further at the moment...
@ zenalchemy:
i have what i want and what i need so i want not....
and forever to me IS normalcy...
most people talk about "forever this and forever that" but they really have no conception of what it really means...
pisces more than any other sign, truly understands that FOREVER IS NORMAL....
and relationships to me are all about BALANCE and TRUST...
once these two are firmly in place, there are no obstacles...
and water and air has shown itself to be a blissful combination for me...
but still, i am beyond water and air and anyone i am with seriously must have that boundless quality too...
I know what you mean...hmmm, heard some good reviews and adverts on rosetta...
- quite liked the pimsleur downloads...can be extracted free *wink wink* if you haven't used before ... got you speaking chinese in a day...can hold a conversation after the 1st few lessons...they go advanced too but not too great to learn characters.
- being so so busy but enrolling for a course new year and there's a chinese couple at work so practice practice practice...
I fare well with any OS, Im a tech geek. Macs definitely not a gamers computer, but Im no longer a big gamer. I am however putting Windows on bootcamp, so thats a plus for Mac. I dont like Vista, although I must admit still intrigued by their 'Mojave' commercials 😛 I mostly use my Macbook for web browsing, so its fine. I go into alot of weird sites and d/l's so its good I odnt have to worry too much about viruses. Although Ive always had luck with that on my PC.
I will check out the pimsleur downloads. Thanks for the heads up!🙂
I soooo want to go into my nail salon and speak with them, but Im afraid they'd laugh and probably talk about me even more for insulting them if their not chinese, lol.
so true, from experiences, i know that most heavily uranian women have moved lightyears beyond the traditional gender roles placed on us by society for thousands of years...
i know you ladies are rebels and such concepts to you are outdated...
i usually find women ruled by uranus like to SET THEIR OWN TREND and their partner has to be that way to...they don't want a mindless puppydog to follow them around and lick their faces...to be with an aqua girl, you had better have your own life going on because she has her own and she doesn't want to you bothering her!
you will need your own life too, because uranian girls definitely WON'T be holding your hand all the time....
i have learned this all too well, that is why i keep my social calendar full WITHOUT her...
how can you be beyond what you are?...OH MY GOD - HLG says that too ! does that mean you don't like or are accepting of Pisces traits?
I thought you just said on another board that Pisces guys were playas and you sounded proud of that?
anyways, honestly, it sounds like you're trying to deny who you are for one reason or the other...and the next minute embrace it and stuff...we are what we are...we have been born when we were born...celebrate...enjoy....good luck !
OK, back to business. I'll give my opinion StillWaters as an objective aqua woman.
Its great that you've taken the time to analyze the ladies. People rarely ever make an effort to truly try to understand anyone, let alone the people they love...I'd say especially for a pisces. The dreamers in them can be a curse to anyone that has to be with them, for once the dream is shattered and reality sets in their liable to leave you high and dry without out notice....hence this is where the martydom comes in. Cappy is correct, about the Pisces martyrdom..what they feel they must sacrifice for love they later resent you for the same reasons they loved you.
Never get to comfortable in your assessment of any aqua, for once you think you've got us figured out we might shake it up unknowingly or just for the hell of it. I never condone infatuation, for the harder the fall when reality hits. I think its why we appear so mean and cold or aloof. We want o make sure you can handle the good, bad, and the ugly; leaving no room for doubt or surprise when its time to truly give in and give our hearts.
I still appreciate the post though. Its sweet; a little too sweet maybe, but aquas are modest with their narcissism as you know...which is why we arent leos 😉😛
stillwaters, ladym was joking about the hateration I think --- we are all nameless and faceless here to feel emotions like that - well, I know I am...lighten up 🙂
Oh, my bro's a graphics guy, he's into mac too - can't tell the difference really...my attention span gets info I need and move on to tv or kitchen or back to work or listen to motions in my head...hopeless like that 😛 But now you mention it, I've been meaning to get anti-virus, it's been over 9 months I've been thinking it --- with all the weird stuff and sites we go to these days !
got vista - mojave's blah --- if you need anything that needs xp, gets messier...the vista resistance movement's very strong though - got websites and groups and petitions to keep xp alive - funny butter.
I soooo want to go into my nail salon and speak with them, but Im afraid they'd laugh and probably talk about me even more for insulting them if their not chinese, lol.
no no, it is something you just have to do - trust me they've seen your nails at their worse, right? lol...shake up your aries rising 😛 I just ram in for it - they know your first language is English, they appreciate the effort too...
lol - intimidating and unapproachable --- that sounds nice - who wants to be approached? well except by a hot dude...
- get approached wai too much due to the smile I apparently have on my face - don't know how it got there, honest! I'm always practising my intimidating look *sighs*
last week, I was approached by a guy in like his 60s and seemed quite 'you know'
""Sarcasm helps you avoid telling people what you really think of them.""
I actually felt it did the opposite, without the harshness ya know.
"- get approached way too much due to the smile I apparently have on my face - don't know how it got there, honest! I'm always practicing my intimidating look *sighs*"
How does one walk around with a smile on their face without looking like a crazy bag lady...sans the bag or shopping cart filled with miscellaneous trinkets?
its easy to be beyond what one is when one is UNDEFINABLE and UNCLASSIFIABLE when its all said and done....
this astrology stuff is just fun and games for me...its a good mental exercise not to mention a great conversation piece! i mean, most people either like to talk about themselves or have people talking about them, regardless of their sign...
its good in social situations and for picking up girls...its good mental exercise..
that's where it ends..its nothing serious for me..
what is more important to me the interaction and the stimulation...
@ ladym:
make no mistake about it...in spite of how "sweet" i may come across, every rose has its thorn (no, not like poison song), and i am no different...
i have learned never to take anything for granted, especially when it comes to people, aquarius or no aquarius...
i have no expectations and i am ok with whatever happens...i am always prepared for the worst regardless of how optimistic i come across..
i just happen to have a positive outlook on myself and life in general...this spills over to other people...
am i naive? - NO...
i know about the shakeups all too well and i know how to deal with them...at the end of the day, i know that any shakeup is not because of me, but because of the other person!
i don't take anything personally, i hold no grudges and I SHRUG OFF ANY SHAKEUPS...
although i love this one particular aqua girl and she is the love of my life so far and i am the love of hers, THERE IS NOTHING COMFORTABLE about our relationship...she makes sure of that, and knowing me, its good for the both of us because i have a history of becoming scarce whenever relationships start to settle down and she knows this...
I NEED THIS FROM HER...
she gives me my space and i give her hers with no questions asked...and i mean NO QUESTIONS...
we both repsect each other's freedom and we both can do WHATEVER WE WANT...
Sarcasm can say a million words but it sucks when the receiver doesn't know what it is - uncomfortable moment.
How does one walk around with a smile on their face without looking like a crazy bag lady...sans the bag or shopping cart filled with miscellaneous trinkets?
but I don't think it's a smile, it's more like 'I'm so totally bored I'll entertain myself in my head kinda' smile...bag ladies are cool - they give gifts!
what i find with goats is that they are always right...even when they are wrong, they are right...
so cappygolightly, if it makes you feel better, and i know it will, YOU ARE RIGHT!
all i am saying is this...you will see what you want to see...i am not going to work to convince you either way, i will just state my case...
its obvious that you want to pigeonhole me into some limited, ready-made mental framework and attribute neuroses to my character which are not present...
you want to psychoanalyze, but have no credentials!
you contradicted yourself when you said i was following subconscious urges...i simply showed you that EVERYONE does that...i guess you didn't call the freudian psychoanalyst...he will most likely want money for his time, and i know how thrifty you goats can be! you do hang onto your pennies!
you see? i can generalize and pigeon-hole with the best of you!
i am liberated...you saying that i am not because of some unfounded, uncredentialed, misdiagnosis on your part does not make it NOT so...
the reason i am ready to settle with her is because i know that we WILL NEVER BE TRULY SETTLED!
i don't like settlement because it takes the adventure and fun out of everything! settlements are just so boring!
i am not worked up, it just seems that way because i am anxious!
and who is anyone to judge another person's happiness at the end of the day, even if the happiness is perceived to be negative by the person judging?
live and let live...
that is freedom...
and i AM liberated if i am "in an addictive relationship gearing (my) behaviour to fit (my) whimsical aqua lady's desires."
liberation is NOT freedom...
freedom is free, with no strings attached, whereas liberty is GIVEN...freedom is not subject to a whim, but liberty is...
i know its a very philosophical point and you don't seem like one who takes to philosophy so much, but try to understand...
i am liberated because i chose this for myself and it works for me at the moment..
maybe tomorrow it won't work like it is now, but i am comfortable with change...what i can't stand is predictability and a sense of comfort...
comfort has a way of making people soft and a few steps slower than if they were not comfy...
and sure, i can leave any time i want and so can she and knowing me, if that happens, i am prepared for it because i know that whatever shall be will be...we both respect each other's freedom...most people have not the slightest clue as to what freedom means even though they use the word all the time...
free is without strings attached, such as jealousy, anger, possesivness, fear, guilt, animosity...these are the emotions that keep people in spiritual and mental bondage...
i am totally comfortable with my fate and my destiny...after all, it is all under my control...
@ depressedangel:
i agree, and these are after all just my experiences..i am just having fun with this as i have always said...
it is mere mental exercise to stimulate my restless mind!
when you are comfy you get relaxed...when you get relaxed you start to snooze...when you snooze, you lose...
@ ofa:
seems to work pretty well for me too...
and as far as not sharing your man, there is only 1 aqua girl i have known who truly felt like this, and even up to now, i really think she is b/s'in me about the whole "i can share you" thing...
and believe me, being the feisty, restless dude i am, a constantly try to call her bluffs, so i date other girls and i let her do her things..she goes out with other guys too, flirts with other guys in front of me, and i don't even flinch..i do the same thing to her, mind you, and for now, there haven't been any problems..
maybe that will change as we get closer because i have told her that i don't want to share her and she specifically says to me that she "wants me all to (herself)", but somehow, our needs for freedom and our mutual aloofness prevails, whether the aloofness is contrived and intentional or not is of no consequence...
all i know it is there and i gotta deal with it as best as i know how...
Darn you StillWaters 😄 This is how I was tricked. No, you are in love with an Aqua.
Okay, hehehe too bad I didn't pick up on this sooner. You'd think I would've because Aqua is all over my chart -- moon, venus and almost mars but its the Aqua/Pisces cusp instead 😛
' who said my commitment was "supposed to be forever" besides you?
just because you have some stubborn idea of what things should be like doesn't give you the license to accuse and judge others who do not share your views!
live and let live!
what works for you wont necessarily work for me, and to each his own and the list of cliches goes on and on...
these cliches somehow missed your attention...
and why am i making "mistakes"? because you said so?
uuggghhh...
my mom is a capricorn and you sound just like her right now...
i love her but damn! she is so damn closed minded and judgemental!
you capricorns have a way of always thinking that your way is best and other people need to learn a lesson from you in EVERYTHING!
you never admit when you are wrong do you?
just wrong and strong...
***no offense to cappysweetie:-) or my mom***
@ cappysweetie:
yes i am in love with an aqua indeed...
and i don't think you are scatterbrained!
you are just quick to pull the trigger, that's all!
you got a quick draw, we just gotta work on your aim, darling:-)
now emerson was the father of TRANSCEDENTALISM, and i just love the word "transcend"...
he is someone i can definitely relate to..
a man of great wisdom indeed...
@ ofa:
i cant say that having the complete freedom to do whatever i want is a bad thing, though...its like i get to have my cake and eat it too, and who doesnt like to do that?
and congrats on your posessiveness...as long as it works for you and your...
A bit dreamy and sugar coated, but pretty accurate.
Aquas need a lot of patience and understanding because they are a bit "off" from the norm. When we give love , we expect it returned in the same manner we give it. Except Aquas do not give it back your way, it's their way. So to be OK, you will need patience, and have a pretty good sense of self and be secure. Otherwise they really can make your head spin. As a Scorpio, I can and have made Aqua's heads spin also 🙂 It's a fun give and take and a great friendship.
marriage is SUPPOSED to be forever...in a perfect world, sure...
but the reality at least in the US is the 50% of marriages end up in DIVORCE!
now when you talk about AQUARIAN divorce rates, the percentage skyrockets!
so i don't fool myself because the more i expect, the more i can be let down in the end so its best to fly high and fly low and maintain a balanced perspective...
@ fromtheashes:
i agree with you...the aquas in my life have all taught me many valuable lessons that have become an ingrained part of my daily life...
Anyway, what do you guys think of this from my Psychology class... Many Psychologists believe that U.S. will be the first to make the culture of marriage extinct.
marriage is a business...that is how it began, and that is the state of affairs for the most part today...
the idea of getting married for love itself is very recent...
and this is in EVERY culture...
@ zenalchemy:
well, if you agree that signs have something to do with an individual's character, (as i am sure you do, otherwise you wouldn't be posting in the aqua forum on dxp!) you must concur as well that divorce rates have something to do with signs....
logically speaking, of course..
@ cappysweetie:
I AM paying attention to cappygolightly otherwise i wouldn't be taking my time to respond to her!
doesn't necessarily mean i am going to AGREE with what she says!
well, if you agree that signs have something to do with an individual's character, (as i am sure you do, otherwise you wouldn't be posting in the aqua forum on dxp!) you must concur as well that divorce rates have something to do with signs....
logically speaking, of course..
hmmm, not adding up for my logic, so don't concur I'm afraid but we'll leave it at that, shall we
