doo doo doo...

so when my mom leaves and goes out for the day, she'll leave behind these notes on the kitchen table. they range from asking me to do certain chores for her, what there is to eat in the refrigerator, etc. though they are cute, i often overlook them or pay no attention to them; i want to make my own eating decisions, mom!

but last night, after a nice day of taking my mom around for a belated birthday outing, i decided i was going to leave her a note! mostly because she was already asleep and i wouldn't see her before she left in the morning. this is what my note said: "mommy, have fun! good luck! <3, nina." i also drew a happy face in the empty space. i left it on the door that heads to the living room. i felt like a little kid. but then again, i love leaving and receiving notes! they always make my day! so why not leave one for my mom?

i've been reading and listening to my life horoscopes that certain clairvoyant people diagrammed for me. here's what i recall.

* time spent away from my parents in my 20s will be good, especially because my element clashes with my father's.
* i would fend well in business, technology, or pharmacy. but whatever i do, i'll do it well if i want to do it.
* ages 22-31 will be my best. i should be married no later than 32.
* if i find a husband's whose sign and element are compatible with mine, we will have two children. if my husband's stuff is incompatible with mine, i will have no children or stop after one.
* ages 42-51, if my husband was incompatible with me, we may get divorced. i will grieve someone's passing. but my career will still be fruitful.
* from age 74, i will become to get sick.
* i could live well passed 80, even to 85.

of course karma factors into all this stuff. ay ya. karma. i suppose now i will soon accept why things worked out the way they did. my mom even gave me a reading, which she's never able to do.

* the next three years i will establish my career and start saving money.
* i will find someone worthy of being a life partner at 29.
* it will not be with my first love.
* someone is pursuing who and who is deciding on that person.

dun dun dun. i'm going to RICE now.

There is a wall that runs right through me
Just like the city, I will never be joined
What is this love? Why can I never hold it?
Did it really run out in the strangers' bedrooms?

I
I have decided
At twenty-five
Something must change

Saturday night in East Berlin
We took the U-Bahn to the East Side Gallery
I was sure I'd found love with this one lying with me
Crying again in the old bahnhof

I
I have decided
At twenty-five
That something must change

After sex
The bitter taste
Been fooled again
The search continues

it's all because of you

last night, i branched out socially. and hung out with a new friend and her friends. it was a bit scary. and i didn't want to go to the potluck. but after going, it was good. so i am glad i gave in to peer pressure. we played some guitar. and ate some goodies. and just hung out. when i left and said "bye" to everyone, they all gave me hugs, like they've known me for a while. for whatever reason, it was nice.

in other news, i have become LOVE's next biggest cheerleader! after hearing the disappointment from my brother last night who wanted to visit his girlfriend in hawai'i but heard that there were no tickets available, i used my searching skills to find a decently priced ticket. he flew out 11 hours later to surprise her for her birthday! i was so jazzed all day; hearing the updates from him and his accomplice (a super former roommate! thanks for all your help!) made me so excited i couldn't focus on studying! aww, and when i called to see what had happened, i heard from a very happy pisces birthday girl that she found her boyfriend at her door! awww! it warms my heart. i'm such a sucker for love and romance! viva el amor!

bio quiz tomorrow. will study and see how it goes. so that i can hang out with my other former roommate who is in town and help her celebrate and enjoy her vacation time! weee! ahhh! i'm so lucky!

<3!

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Blue

You're blue — the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!
