Dazed says hi ladies!
I’ve just been super broke all winter lol.
Believe it or not, my trip to visit is actually the next item on my budget of things to save for, after I finish saving for moving. You’d be so Virgo proud of me, I made a spreadsheet and everything. LOL.click to expand

Scorpios usually feel comfortable and familiar to us virgo's, even if there's a bit of awkwardness initially. Just keep being your badass self and I'm sure they'll warm up. Now, whether or not you'll regret it once they start talking is another story all together.
Hmph. Honestly, the Virgos I know are the only folks I've ever felt truly safe with and that's saying a lot given my feelings about trusting others.
You folks are very easy to love.
With the exception of D. Her Ram Moon, pushes her right over that thin line of love and hate.
yes, I know you're lurking......😛

Also, totally unrelated and completely catty, but it annoys me how many awful man buns work at my new job. They all look like awkward generic hipsters and when bored I fantasize about running with scissors, snipping their poorly tied buns off and then running away.
That and none of them know how to give a proper handshake. Since when do so many people limp wrist handshake? Tragic.
Pointless rant over.

Posted by EllygantPosted by PhoenixRisingThis is extra funny to me, because when I was in film school, horror shorts were my absolute favorite genre to write, direct, act and produce.
FBIs Most Wanted
*binge watches SAW series....watching Jigsaw....*
Him: You ever think about the type of people that write these kinds of movies?
Scorp: *eating chocolate chip cookies while character get sliced up* No. Why?
Him: I don't know.... I think the FBI should be watching them. They're clearly sick to come up with stuff like this.
Scorp: Or just have colourful imaginations.
Him:![]()
Now I hate horror movies overall. I never watch them. Especially horror gore. I’m too sensitive. But to make, they were my absolute favorite lol. I was even cast as a serial killer in two different shorts. 😆 😐click to expand




Posted by EllygantGiven where you've posted this, I would kindly point out you're never stuck.
...things are building up and becoming anxieties and pressures are mounting into negative mood swings. And I hate when I get to this part.
So I just feel, stuck. 😐

Haha, if I didn't have those filters the things I would do and say....
*co worker starts talking about it being cold outside* "Do I look like I live in this god d*mn office? I know how cold it is outside. Let's get on with the meeting already."
*supervisor wants to set up a meeting to talk about meeting* "Jesus Christ, I think I'd drop from a stroke if you actually made a freaking decision"
*toddler learning to walk down the stairs during rush hour*....."Really?! Maybe if I just tap him with my hip... his mother will catch him."

I have found that I’m very angry at the opposite sex as of late. Every time I come into contact with one of those filthy cockroaches I have the urge to tell them a piece of my mind. My New Years resolution was to stop dating. Took down my online dating profile and everything and I have to say I feel very empowered.
Not sure why I’m so bitter toward them.....well I do, but it’s never been to this extreme. Guess I’ve just finally had enough. Whenever I see someone of the opposite sex I have bad thoughts and want to throw rotten eggs at them. Just thinking about one makes me cringe now and feel disgusted inside.
.....hmm makes me wonder if this is healthy?click to expand

Posted by EllygantPosted by PhoenixRisingIf I recall he had almost the same chart as Dazed. That’s all I remember from the case. Mainly cause someone on DXP was mad at Dazed at the time for saying something Leo moonish and made a giant thread about it. Lol
*watching the Oscar Pistorius lifetime movie: "Blade Runner Killer"...geeze what a title lol*
I didn't follow the case, never do. I'm often curious by the "story" behind these crimes though.click to expand

I just realized I still have my damn Christmas tree up. 😮😱😟. Shame shame shame!!!! My mother would kill me if she knew! I need to get on that! I’m such a procrastinator....sigh.
Couldn’t I just throw a sheet over it? Wouldn’t that suffice! 🤔 Gosh I’m so lazy!!

Yeah I thought about it before I posted lol. But I knew you guys wouldn’t bug me about sharing or accuse me of posting for attention. Thinking out loud about how/where i can think out loud lol. And also it’s the type of thing I literally have to say it, can’t just write or type it out. Idk. It’s weird to describe.
Someone may surprise me, your right. These are the softest gooey vulnerabilities and insecurities though. The ones where I’m bawling about two minutes in talking. The type of insecurities that I know are illogical and just insecure, but that persist and they hurt just to stumble words out because I feel so stupid saying them. It normally takes me years to get there with people. (Shoulda seen my struggle to find a therapist. Should be a reality TV show about Scorpios therapist shopping. 😆)
But I feel more overwhelmed not saying them. And I know the more I keep it in, the bigger they get and lead to an inevitable snap and/or shut down over something stupid. It’s been mounting so much I’ve rarely gone out and avoid drinking for the last month, because alcohol really fuels that lose of control lol.
I also lost three close confidants last year as well, so I think that plays into not wanting to open up. I don’t regret leaving those friendships behind. But tbh, I feel quite fixed sign-y right now where the thought of building something new feels utterly exhausting and unappealing. With that being said, and the fact my strongest confident are on the DL list, I wonder if maybe there’s some way I can press through on my own and I just can’t see it, because I’ve always been so used to airing stuff out with someone to bounce thoughts off of.



Posted by EllygantPosted by PhoenixRisingWhich episode? I used to be a grays superfan. I fell off he show once mcdreamy died honestly. That was a show that helped me through some really hard times so I figured I could make it through bad seasons in return. 😆 mcdreamys death broke that contract tho lol.Posted by Ellygant

I feel like I have a Scorp radar like nobody’s business nowadays.
Last two weeks at work there’s a soux chef that’s setting off Scorpio alarms. He was quiet at first but now he seems comfortable with the kitchen team and is super sarcastic with them all the time. Prone to having a baby like outburst but fairly self aware after the fact. A little boastful about his sexual pursuits as well. And the ringer, is that the last two weeks he’s been eyeballing the fuck outta me but has never actually spoken a word to me. Till yesterday. When he tried to talk to me three different times.
Elly: *walks to get linens*
Suspected Scorpio: *standing there shifty and doesn’t say anything at first just watches me*
...
S.S: What was your name again?
Elly: *pauses and looks up, slowly looks at him* Well considering I’ve never told you, it’d be surprising if you knew.
S.S: Actually I saw your name tag from the other day. *smug face*
Elly: *stares and says nothing*
S.S: At least give me a letter. First letter.
Elly: *stares*
S.S: come on one letter. Does it start with B?
Elly: E.
S.S. nooo. No it doesn’t. I don’t believe you. *smiles*
Elly: Ok. *walks away*

Posted by Ellygant
...Later on he asked if I wanted some extra food at the end of the night.
SS: want any cobbler?
Elly: No thank you.
SS: Good cause I wasn’t gonna give you some anyways.
Elly: *walking away* Oh? So you’re both mouthy and rude. Duly noted.
Friend Roommate Chef: BAHAHAHA. And he’s balding!
Elly: *chuckles inwardly*

Posted by ex0I was just about to ask where you went!!! I saw someone quote you on another thread but couldn't find the original and got scared you were gone!
hmph. 😛

Sigh...when will my coworkers learn I don’t like talking about my love life or lack thereof?
My Pisces cowerker was talking about her brother in law to Taurus coworker. She tells her how she tried setting me up with him. Ok, first of all this is a man who the Pisces talks badly about all the time and says things like “what woman would want him?” “He is unemployed and has no common sense.” So gee thanks! Why the hell would I want him if you talk so negatively about him? According to the Pisces, the last girlfriend he had had a stroke after having sex with him and then died several days later from complications. They joke around saying the sex with him killed her. Ummm yeah, I’d like to live thank you very much.
The Taurus asks me “you won’t at least even meet him?” Then she proceeds with asking if I’m even looking for someone to date? When was the last date I went on? Etc. Omg it’s none of her damn business!! I told her I’m just not looking right now....not interested....period. Pisces chimes in by saying “oh she’s just had some bad experiences.” Why is it that married people always seem to think single people must be unhappy and wanting to find someone? I mean are they really that miserable with their marriages that they want to set single people up so they can be as miserable as they are? Misery does love company right? Taurus then asks me if I want to have kids? Oh gee thanks for reminding me that my clock is ticking very loudly as well! I do want kids eventually, but I’m not gonna just settle for any guy just to have a kid.
Smh 😡......I guess this is what happens when you work with a bunch of nosy ass women!

I'm trying to learn how to open up. Problem is, the various things on my mind have the potential of hurting the person I would share it with.
So, I'm trying to learn how to open up. Trying to lower my walls without building new ones.

Well I did go to the shelter today and came home with something unexpected. I have been doing a lot of thinking and as much as I want a puppy, I’m at work 8-9 hours everyday five days a week and have no one who could let the dog out and such while I’m gone. So it would not be an ideal situation for a puppy right now. Perhaps in the future....
However, this goofy guy is Chester! He’s 6 years old and very affectionate. Jumped right in my lap! I already love him to death!! ❤️![]()

So my brother has started dating again since the whole ex fiancé fiasco. Well I should say he has been dating one girl exclusively since November. He falls very quickly for the first girl who comes along....then again, she’s a Scorp so I’m not surprised. Afterall, we are the best! 😏


Posted by ArkansassyYeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'm for sure writing him up. I'll have to get approval to cut his shifts though.Posted by AndalusiaWrite him up and cut his/her shifts for a pay period.

Backstory: I work at an upscale, James Beard nominated restaurant as the private events coordinator/manager/accounting person.. idk what my official job title is, but I do all those things.
The bartender called out sick today, so I texted one of the servers that was scheduled to see if he could bartend tonight instead. Transcript, with time stamps, is as follows:
ME @ 12:56 PM: "Hey (insert server name), is there any way you could bartend tonight instead of serve? (Bartender) is at the doctor and doesn't think he'll be able to come in tonight."
SERVER @ 12:58 PM: "Sure, but that means I won't be able to help reset the dining room... just a heads up."
ME @ 13:03 PM: "Okay that's fine."
SERVER @ 13:07 PM: "Of course that's fine, I can't set up the bar and the dining room. I wasn't negotiating, it was just a situation I thought y'all might overlook. Our bar is a lot to set up."
ME @13:12 PM: "No one was asking you to do both, (insert server name)."
SERVER @ 13:35 PM: "If you want me to bar tend for you, please don't respond to me with attitude like this. It's already a job I do not want to do. Your answer "that's fine" implies you're making a concession. And while that may not have been your intention, that's how it reads in a text."
I wanted to dick punch him but am settling for writing him up. My sister thinks that's harsh.

Gem Moon: so Patrick Brown resigned yesterday
Leo Moon: Oh yeah?! I was going to vote for him.
Gem Moon: 😐 Yeah, I'm sorry we can't be friends anymore.
Leo Moon: Yeah, most of my friends say that....
*proceed to have a discussion about party platforms and tax policy*
Gem Moon: I completely understand, my only point is the money has to come from somewhere. I believe.....
Leo Moon: I don't see where you're coming from. I don't see how.....
Gem Moon: *listens....* Yup, like I said I get where you're saying and I don't disagree. Perhaps you could stretch your mind a bit. My point was....
Leo Moon: *starts looking up tax laws in different countries*
Gem Moon: *Okay, you're not listening. You just want to make your point. Mentally moves on....*
Leo Moon: *proceeds to prove point*
Gem Moon: Um hmmm.....*driving, thinking about work that has to be accomplished today*
*20 minutes pass*
Leo Moon: *continues to look up taxes in different countries* Columbia is 73% . Could you imagine if you had to give over 73% of your earnings?
Gem Moon: I'd probably just buy the government off with my drug money......
Leo Moon: 😆 ....you've moved on.
Gem Moon: I have indeed.
Yeah, this is why I just can't with fixed moons. Lol.
