Aries Man & Libra Woman

This is not a great match and it is very unlikely to lead to lasting love. You and an Aries boy may seem to be a terrific match at first. You've both got great minds, curious approaches to life and you both love to talk and to socialize. Unfortunately, while you hate arguing and always want everything to be peaceful, Aries boys love to fight! They'll even play devil's advocate to start a fight for no reason... they actually think this is fun. All this conflict will make you feel constantly uneasy and stressed out. He will also get tired of you flip-flopping on your decisions, because he's a charge ahead guy who likes to set a mission and then carry it out. He's just not flexible or calm enough for you, and there will be no harmony in this relationship. You may be super-attracted to him, but that can only take you so far. A great match for a short-term fling, but disaster in the long-term. ( Source: Jellybean's Astro-Soulmate Guide )

Refined Libra girl is ready and willing to play delicate flower next to Aries tough and strong exterior, but in the long haul, Aries boy might be a tad too aggressive and rough around the edges. Enjoy it while it lasts, because it certainly won't be boring! ( Source: FUNgirl - Astrology )

shivers

the chicago skyline still thrills me when i walk out of work. i worked an event tonight, so by the time i got out, it was dark and the buildings were all lit up. it really is a sight to see, even though i look at it everyday. it's a good city we have here.

also, if you want to see some fantastic art, the art institute has finally opened it's newest prints and drawings exhibit. it is on modern and contemporary drawings, and it's good. real good. every time i walk through the galleries, i get shivers. it's reasons like that, that i love working there. how spoiled am i!

potluck-hangover

the AIC DOVS potluck was a grand success. we had a good turnout, everybody brought such delicious stuff, and i ate like i've never eaten before. there was so much food we had to designate a main entree room, a dip room, and a dessert room. we didnt even get a chance (or we didn't have enough room in our stomachs) to break into 2 of the deserts. but that's ok, because since i hosted the potluck, i get to keep the extras!

thanks to everybody for helping make this a success! i love my coworkers...

i can't take it anymore

my roommates are being bitches. i'm sorry, but being mean and bitter to me does not make me want to be your friend.

making assumptions, talking behind my back, and writing passive aggressive notes on the fridge... it's so petty, it's making me sick.

frustration

so i think my roommates think i've gone crazy. i will admit, my lifestyle has gotten a bit soap opera-esque, but i'm not unhappy with anything. i thrive on this kind of excitment, i love running around and meeting new people. i am having so much fun, after work, in work, and i am entering a new stage in life and i am ready for it.

i think my problem was that i was very unsatisfied with my life before. i felt depressed unsettled. i was ready to move back to grand rapids and see what kind of life i could live there. and now that i've dove head first into this new life of AICers, i'm failing in my combination of both lives, and people of my old life don't like the new life.

so i feel a bit trapped. i don't want either extremes, and building contacts and friendships at the AIC is just as important to me as maintaining old friendships. plus it doesnt help that my weekends are tuesdays and wednesdays, so my schedule is so opposite of everyone else's that it makes things look even worse.

what to do, what to do...

happy st pattys everyone

so i'm hoping that making out with a giant red-bearded leprechaun man on the eve of st patrick's day is going to bring me great luck. this guy was magnificent. though that could be the beers talking.

tomorrow (actual st patty's), i'm going to celebrate the day like any viking would want me too... by drinking and pillaging. perhaps while wearing a viking helmet. i must make my ancestors proud!

too many birthdays

it's annie's birthday today, and yesterday it was my brother's and ethan's birthday, and thursday is annika's birthday. holy birthday. sarah b's birthday was just a week or so ago, allison's, benji's, sophie's, patrick's are all coming up. also multiple cousin birthdays are coming up by the end of march, and lydia's and chad-eric's, and anat's, and tim's, and heather's. i'm going to go broke.


ps happy birthday everybody!

typical

i like that when i go to a gay bar, i end up with a couple business cards and a condom in my pocket. it's pretty hysterical.


i dont really understand the way things are for me right now... but life is pretty fun nonetheless. thank you art institute. lol...
