Posted by PhoenixRisingThank you, dear. πPosted by AndalusiaPosted by PhoenixRisingHe was born November 2. He's a little over 3 months π’Posted by Andalusia
My little Scorpio nephew has to have "minimally invasive spring cranioplasty" surgery next month π
How old is he?
I thought so. I was gonna suggest something to help comfort him. Scorps tend to act too tough for their own good when they are scared or distressed. I was working with a baby Scorp today and he was explaining that at the ripe old age of 9 that he no longer needs hugs from his mother because he's a big kid now. Apparently he made this decision 4 days after his birthday (sounds familiar lol). It just a front.
At 3 months though, anything will work to make them feel better. I hope it goes well.

Posted by PeanutButterandEllyYou pretty much just described my life.
I think I might just get another one or two jobs. If I'm working all the time I'll be too tired to get into trouble or date (which is basically like trouble at this point.)
And I'll have money and no free time to spend it so I'll be forced to save! π
I hate having a 7th house moon tho. π

It's a real shame. π So much promise and so many great things between us. And then the crab had to go and scoot sideways on me. I can recognize a mind game from miles away. I also can recognize self defensive behavior to try and cover up said mind game when asked honestly and politely about it. I thought he was more mature than that, it was a huge part of his attraction. Bummer.
Wished him well, thanked him for the experience, told him I thought it'd run its course and kept it moving.

had lunch with my cancer mum in law last weekend. she slapped me with some wisdom.
she said in her marriage she had to learn unconditional love AND unconditional respect. that a man needs to feel respected even if he's being a stubborn moron.
my cap moon was like, omg! lol duuuh. i gotta soften up a bit towards sag. *sigh*

None of my responses are visible to me......π *listen closely to determine if that is the Twilight Zone theme song playing in the background...*
F*ck you Wizard and your games.

i noticed i have a tendency to destroy things instead of allowing them wither away/run its course.
this can be anything from an old sweater, a plant, or a relationship. *snip* i must take matters into my own hands.
lol is this a very typical scorp thing?

So many people talk about loving their SO, but do you know the moment it happened for you?
Yes, and I repress it because with that venus in the 12th, love feels like shame. I always feel silly because I convinced myself that I will only ever love *one*...and that never transpired....there has been more than *one*...so, I beat myself up...because is any of it love? Who the hell knows and who the hell cares anymore....
Never really denied myself. Again, my issue is always expression. I feel it, I supress it for fear of being humiliated....because love = shameful to me. I think it's due to the vulnerability aspect to it.

There are days that I am annoyed that I love the cap. Being single was easier.click to expand

Posted by -elle-
Like now....
I have been gone for a week.....visited four states (driving) in 48 hours....was exhausted. Came home...crawled in bed....couldn't think of anything but sleep.
He crawled in with me after his shift was over....felt like bliss.
Well, he has these stupid alarms on his phone...cap can't sleep too much...*eye roll* so...they start going off at 6am...he doesn't tend to them...so they KEEP going off....I get annoyed and go to the sitting room.
He finally gets up...snuggles on the sofa while I check out dxp.
I am still annoyed.
He goes to take a bath.
He is singing in the bath. All my annoying just melts away.
That's love to me.
I love this man.

Posted by ScorpioStarGazerdaww, poor sad Scorpio *hugs* if I remember correctly you've had a few usernames but you're a total sweetheart!
Lately I've been wondering why I can't seem to do anything right? I look at people and know they are thinking how the hell does this poor excuse for a human make it through life? I hate these dark moods I get in. Wonder how long this one will last? ...sigh

...Our being wants them to be acknowledged. Acknowledgment doesn't mean we even have to agree or follow our feelings. There is enough room to both feel and then rationalize and direct accordingly.

Posted by EllygantPosted by PhoenixRising*nervously hands you teacup hands shaking*
I like the new name π
But yeah I'm salty you left. So...join the fate of my ex that didn't return my Tupperware when we broke up.
It's white chamomile, almond, anise and a touch of cinnamon. Some clover honey on the side if you'd like mam. Steeped 4 minutes in 145Β° water. Served with a an almond shortbread cookie. π π π

TDC: Good. *cracks a shy smile but stands awkwardly*
Elly: Well you look good. Can I get a hug? *started reaching for one before I asked*

I spent last week with a potential *new* boss and my current cap boss is being cranky about it because he doesn't want to let me go....
So, today he got me alone...
"Did you get his sign? Read his palm like you did mine?" (LOL)
"I don't read palms, I read charts...and no, I did not."
"Why? You know what? He has a really whiny voice. I can't listen to him for very long." (lol @ this merc in cap)
"I didn't notice."
"Well, what sign do you think he isβ?!!!"
"He isn't a capricorn."
"No?" *he giggles*
"Nope, he is not capricorn material. Maybe June/July. I don't know"
"I will find out."
"Just don't tell him I read palms, okay? At least get it right...I READ CHARTS"

Posted by EllygantSrsly. That's exactly what my Cancer Sailor Moon was thinking.Posted by -elle-*carries your luggage for you while I buy you a bagel and plugs your phone into my portable charger*
lol...I am so tired. I haven't slept in 24.5 hours.
I am at the airport waiting for my flight.
This lady is like..."Can you watch my luggage so I can get a bagel?"
My Moon is like..."Sure!"
30 seconds later...I am like..."I want a bagel π Nobody would ever watch my luggage. Ungrateful bastards."
*she walks past me with her gotdamn bagel like she is on a tour of the airport while I am sitting here chained to her luggage*
I should call security over and tell them someone abandoned their luggage, I think she is a terrorist and give them a description.
When they handcuff her, I can then steal her bagel.
My phone is dying. I forgot to charge it πclick to expand




Posted by EllygantPosted by PhoenixRisingThey are so externally awkward in a way my moon identifies with and finds enchanting lol. And that makes me just wanna rain down affection and warmth on them in every way possible.Posted by Ellygant
TDC: Good. *cracks a shy smile but stands awkwardly*
Elly: Well you look good. Can I get a hug? *started reaching for one before I asked*
Lol. I believe this is why Crabs loves Scorps so much. We don't really ask for permission. We just warn you what's coming.
They deny it though.
But I settle for quick side hugs outside bars instead.
(And maybe a sexually charged request to borrow a cigarette later inside the bar.)
((And maybe a sensual touch on the shoulders breezily walking past him at Waffle House.))
But that's it. I swear. There wasn't a single eye fucking attempt made that night, not once. πclick to expand





Posted by EllygantGurl! Just wash the bangs.
I gave myself bangs a few weeks ago. And don't get me wrong, I love them and everyone else has commented how much they love them.
BUT GOSH DARNIT ARE THEY HARD TO style AS SECOND DAY HAIR.
I just finally got in the habit of not washing my hair everyday and it being very healthy. But the bangs fudged it all up. Now I wake up with so many cow licks it's like a bovine made out with my head all night.
Impulsive Scorpio regrets.

So many tricks to teach you once we marry and I'm locked in your basement.

Anyone here ever block someone's number without saying a word after they tested your patience one too many times?

Top 3 phrases people use About me that confuse me the most.
1) 'You are too much.'
2) 'You are something else.'
3) 'You are a hot mess.'
Such phrases are always accompanied by both laughter and a smile, but a strange tone I can't quite identify. And when I ask them to explain the reply is always the same,
'I mean, you just are, you.'
π
Way to mentally torture a Scorpio y'all.

I actually have a built in mental block, so the manual work isn't necessary. I can literally tune someone out to the point that they simply don't exist and their actions have no impact. Unless you get physically in my face, I'm not responding to you no matter what you do and people have tried to test that lol.
Friends with children regularly ask me to babysit because of this.click to expand

wut I do?

Posted by GetMistedPosted by PhoenixRisingjust a gamePosted by GetMisted
wut I do?
Mafia.
I adore you Dazed, but that sh*t was foul. We were on the same team and I don't care what your issues were with the other team members, or how salty you feel about things.
I don't care if you hate every person on your team, you don't betray them by trying to sabotage them. That's one things I don't play. Game or no game.
click to expand

Posted by EllygantPosted by PhoenixRisingYeah. Which is why it unsettles me when people who say they care so much say it. Like dazed said, I always play it off as a compliment because I learned long ago other realizing how sensitive I can be is not beneficial.
My question came out the wrong way. Sorry. I was just reflecting on a conversation/statement that was made the other day and threw the question out. #MyBrainHasNoFilters when it gets going.
Based on what you added I'd agree, it sounds like shade. It may have been meant in a playful way, but the fact that they find it difficult to offer an explanation that (aka "you just are you" π) says something.
Needless to say I've been mentally rearranging friends as of late lol. For instance, I recently changed my work schedule to have Sundays off work, approved by management. But a few coworkers have been complaining it's unfair. Mainly because I used to bring doughnuts and coffee in for all the employees on Sundays and they're bitching that no one does that now that I'm off. Or how I don't give a few them rides home after work since I'm not there. The expectancy seems so childish.
My cancer moon is feeling itchy with the lack of appreciation and my Scorpio bits are feeling cold over the shady behaviors of what I previously saw as friends. I have a feeling some are about to be disturbed by my shift in perception and my Scorpio bits comings out strong.
I'm really hoping to get that new job in the coming weeks though. Need some new energy in my life.click to expand

@PhoenixRising
I sorry tho.

Posted by Ellygant
I've just recently noticed a bad scorpism I have.
When someone asks me a question that I can't answer, that would involve a long drawn out emotional response or that would lead to questions I'm uncomfortable about answering, I just don't answer. Then after a few moments of silence I'll start talking about something completely different.

Posted by -elle-
every time I'm stuck at work and at a loss on a problem....
I don't even have to say it out loud.....
Taurus men....they are always there to help.
....and they don't stop until it's fixed.
It's amazing, really.
(men)
Aries....pretends to be oblivious (or really is) and you turn around and he's gone, nowhere to be found.
Gemini....can't comment, I don't know any geminis at work (no, I didn't have a hand in that)
Cancer....they just give you a list of all your other problems.
Leo.....can't comment, I don't know any leos at work
Virgo.....says they will help and then they run off like they are on a mission and never come back...send someone else back who can't help you
Libra.....just gives a stare like..."I'm sorry......*crickets*"
Scorpio....just takes over and dismisses any assistance you try to offer (LMAO)
Sag....tries really hard but makes the problem ten times more complicated
Cap.....if nobody is around, they don't care....if there is an audience....and they may judge him for not acting....he's all over it.
Aqua...doesn't help but goes back to their own office and figures out the problem...tells you later
Pisces.....tries really hard but if they can't figure it out, they just give up...they may or may not tell you...lol
