NO WAY!!!
Finally the last day of 2010 is here! Now I'm not going to go on about what a year it was, or my expectations (high and unrealistic though they may be), for 2011, but I am going to go on and on and on about the fact that socks are fabulous!!
Okay no not really, that's all there just to lull you into a false sense of security...Of course I'm going to enthuse about the new year, silly rabbit!
I hope everyone has an awesome New Years Eve! Lot's of fun and laughter with friends and / or family (Or even just on your own if that's what you want, a little madness never hurt anyone - well okay getting locked up for it and receiving electro-shock therapy could change that...)
Bugger it! I'm so excited I don't even know why! Sure the year will probably end up like any other year and the excitement may well be for naught, but it's awfully fun to feel it now all the same, don't you think?
So let's all go out and conquer!!
See you on the other side!!
Bring snacks!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - The Hermit
* What I think it means - Some old guy in robes that could double as a mini skirt, holding a lamp and looking confused. Probably wondering where the rest of his robes went...
* What it really means - Searching for meaning in life. Spiritual protection
* It's influence - I like it! Good card to take into the new year! I already know the meaning of life though - to be HAPPY of course, duh! :P

Thursday 30 December 2010
Second last day of the year! < - - (for anyone who hasn't yet sort of guessed that) And I feel most magnificent today! (I'm not 100% sure why, but why question a good thing if you're not a character in a mini-series?)
Have you got anything planned for New Years?
Ordinarily I like to just sleep through it, I always feel waking up fresh and zingy and full of energy is the right way to start a new year, not all tired out and hung over and smelling like death on heels. (which is a certain stench made up partly of perfume, partly of cigarette smoke, partly of stale booze and partly of a scent that can only be likened to 2 week old road kill.)
This year though I may do it differently. Variety being the spice of life and all. And the fact that I did the whole sleeping in thing this year and look how it turned out, I mean really, you try to raise a year right and this is the thanks you get!
Of course I have problems staying awake past 10pm so that could also be interesting... Catch Jo the zombie, performing mostly-live at the 31st near you!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - The Star
* What I think it means - Oooh sounds very peppy indeed! You can't help associate positive vibes to such a card!
* What it really means - The highest spiritual card. A humanitarian card to help others.
* It's influence - Well that makes sense, who doesn't feel awesome helping other people? And today I'm going to do that in spades!

Ah you know, sometimes, I must admit, I miss motorcycles.
Oh oh I have to clear that up! I mean I miss being a pillion on a motorbike! Myself? I've never actually ridden one on my ownsome, people ask, "what are you too scared?", I reply, "hell yes!" < - - it's the gears thingy, I mistrust anything with gears that require changing, viva scooters!
But I love love LOVE being on the back of a bike, the rush, there's nothing like it! It's not at all like being in car. It's just so much more... urk! They just don't have the right words to describe it! And I'm just talking riding on a normal bike or a cruiser, not even those daft superbikes that are designed to let you go at 200km an hour and crash into trucks. I've been on a bike, through rainstorms, abnormally large potholes and 6 hours straight and I'd do it all again in a heartbeat!
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - Ace of cups - reversed
* What I think it means - By the picture I'd say it meant, "Don't toss your good drink at a bird" who illustrates these cards, I'd love to meet them...
* What it really means - Things are not always as they should be but patience and hard work will make them pay off
* It's influence - Note to self: Join motorbike gang and loiter hopefully!

I miss gardening. Mind I was never super brilliant at it, but I was enthusiastic and if weeds had to go then I was more then willing to pull them all out, and half the other plants as well. It was very satisfying. (Well to me, other people could get a bit crabby, I blame societies abuse of medication...)
I like the way moist soil feels in my hands. And the way it smells, which is usually very good unless you've hit something unsavory, in which case, you're doing it wrong! Or if I hit a Parktown Prawn, I can go from sitting to hovering 6 feet above the ground, in under 2 seconds flat, when one of those puppies rears it's ugly malformed head! Ye gods man, what was our creator thinking when he made those things?!
I like growing my own veggies, this is a lot of fun. Corn, tomatoes, spinach... yum yum yum. (I tried squashes - but I never ate them, so icky, and cabbages - but they got all sick and white and fluffy and resembled demented, deformed, zombie kitties, truly, every time I looked at them I got the heebie-geebies!)
There is something really very satisfying in watching your work bloom and grow. And it is a nice restful form of exercise to boot! I think I must start a tiny garden here, there is a wee bit of open soil by the 'was-once-a-swimming-pool-but-now-just-a-harbinger-of-frog-death-and-algae', wonder if I can get that up and sprouting?
Wish me luck!!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - 4 of Pentacles
* What I think it means - A guy surrounded by a heck of a lot of what could be either beige rocks or an alarming amount of potatoes.
* What it really means - Do not overspend. someone is greedy with money.
* It's influence - Not much hey, I don't have anything to overspend and who isn't greedy with money? (Well okay maybe not Tibetan monks but I hear they can really hoard the rice when there's wind up their sails!)

TOP 5 LIST OF EVERYTHING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
1. FRUIT / FOOD! (This might seem like an odd thing to be your most favorite, favorite but I find that it's the one thing I sort of need to survive. I've had times when I didn't have any of the other other 5 and I survived, but starving to death with no watermelon or raw cashews? Good God man, how twisted you are!)
2. PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT (They come second as I need the fruit to be alive to have them in the first place, so sheesh, stop acting offended already! This category has it's own hierarchy of top 5's and such as well but that's classified information, so move along there kitten! If you're reading this then you're probably on a list somewhere anyway! ^_-)
3. INTERNET (Ironically it's the way I've met many of the people I care about, even if it was through a friend of a friend of a friend's rabid dog Mindi! Internet keeps me connected to the world, esp not having a tv or radio. Computers rock!)
4. SOCKS (People need peace and serenity in their lives. Some folk have zen gardens, I have a sock draw. [and a packet with 4 socks from 4 different places in the world that leaves a warm, fuzzy, cotten-blend, feeling in my heart!])
5. IMMORTALITY (Well so far so good...)
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - Ace of swords - reversed
* What I think it means - Hmmn, I cant say, sword cards are very emo and temperamental. But every time I guess that it ends up being something different and sneaky so no opinion here!
* What it really means - Fate and destiny must be met. The Asker must be wary of making wrong decisions.
* It's influence - Well that's pretty dandy in a super generic, duh obviously sort of way. I hope Destiny is packed with all my favorite goodies!!
p.s. Why does it say the Asker must be wary of making wrong decisions? It's not like when you make a wrong decision you're like, WOOHOO, BRILLIANT!... just a thought...

Right! I'd probably have a lot more ‘HO HO HO's’ to share with the world if I hadn't spent all of last night listening to music and spazzing out with the whole ‘being able to hear’ thing. Now I have to go for the ‘being able to pretend to be lucid’ thing, like most drivers on the roads today.
Of course I’m off to see friends and family, that goes without saying.
Have you noticed how everyone is always suddenly filled with great love, lust and longing to see all their estranged family members on Christmas? It’s like, you don’t see these people EVER! But come the sound of jingle bells and suddenly you have the overwhelming urge to spent 5 hours with them; swapping gifts you’ll thank god there’s a Parcel Returns counter for; listening to them go on about their health (Yes I know, you have chronic, suppurating haemorrhoids… please god no, don’t show me!!) and probably getting a full on vaccination for the urge to see them again for another 364 days!
Luckily I like my family so none of that applies! And here you thought I was such a cynic! FOOLED YOU!
Have yourself a merry little xmas, however you chose to spend it and in whatever frame of mind!!!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - King of wands
* What I think it means - Jo - I am... you're FATHER!!! <- - well it looks a bit like him, 20 years ago.
* What it really means - A bloke with brown hair and grey eyes, reliable, witty, amusing and intelligent.
* It's influence - The sudden realization that I know too many guys who that could be! Stupid card never tells you what they're supposed to be though. Brother? Lover? Family member? Psychotic stalker? Details people, details!!

WAAAAH!!! Christmas eve, oh my stars and garters!!! Can you believe it?! Yay!!!
Okay for a heathen maybe that seems a bit much, but I admit to fully loving Christmas! I hijacked it from the Christians and bugger you lot, I'm keeping it! < - - has no issues chopping and changing bits of "religious" mumbo-jumbo to fit her lifestyle.
I suspect it's conditioning from when I was a kid. Xmas was just the most AWESOME time! We got to put up the tree (and I usually only broke one ornament...), to try fall asleep as we listened for tell tale parent-putting-stuff-under-the-tree noises (We never did believe in Santa), we got presents - hello presents! - we got a yummy Christmas dinner, to sing carols (usually me while my brothers made a run for it), we sometimes saw family members (whom I seldom see more then once a year) AND you got to go to bed with that warm, glowy feeling of a job well done!
Even now, being all adult-ish and grown up and wise as can be, Xmas is still alarmingly thrilling!!
Eeeeek! Okay, okay! Time to go try think of something else... yeah right, that'll work...
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - 5 0f wands - reversed
* What I think it means - Well there's a bunch of scantily clad lads all running forwards. Perhaps to the Christmas tree? No opening presents without an adult present!
* What it really means - The Asker is at their very lowest but things will improve
* It's influence - Peppy, but I preferred my interpretation...

Thursday 23 December 2010
What a painful year this has been. Such ugliness. Hmmn, lets see why: -
I've been beaten down and beaten up,
I've felt depression on the boarders of suicidal and I've danced a few numbers with hopelessness that wowwed the crowd.
I've lost belief in love and trust and I now know what intentional cruelty tastes like - very yucky!!
I've lost ten years of life, my home and all the security I had, fragile though it was. I even lost my cat.
My right ear went stone deaf.
I'm totally reliant on other people to survive and the scorn I get for that from others is nothing if not generous and continuous.
And I could whine on and on and on. But it's a Thursday and Thursdays would just love to be the cherry on top of that most unsavory ice cream.
But I'm still alive (always a good thing, zombies are boring), there are new people to meet (some to adore, some to run screaming from), work to be found (even if it hides so very well), relationships to build, and of course, tons of fruit to eat!! < - - Oh the fruit!!
So yes, 2010 has been poop in a bucket with maggots in, it happens, wish it didn't but yeah, it does.
Screw it.
There's 9 days of the year left. Time to make them count!!! (Or at least do tricks with small red balls!)
Okay so I'm rambling a bit, and this is not making sense. I'm just trying to say that you can come back from almost anything! and that there doesn't have to be a special day or moment for it to happen! It can be as simple as right here, right now!
Okay enough revoltingly sugary sentiments... just thought I'd say that...
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - Temperance
* What I think it means - I didn't even know this card existed. Looks like a really angry angel guy with server constipation...
* What it really means - The guardian angel. Weighing up your options, patience
* It's influence - Stupid guardian angel - you're frikkin' late! Go stand in the corner!

I will personally back hand the first person who says that life is boring, dull and unexciting! *Puts Knuckle-busters on for that special added feminine touch*
I am currently rather drugged out of my skull.
It's an odd feeling, sort of like floating and like maybe my brains leaked out when I wasn't looking and the empty shell needs to be handled carefully or it might shatter and leave bits in the carpet that will get stood on and cause splinters which isn't very considerate of me!
My ear-drops smell awesome though! I can't describe it but if you're good you can have a wiff free of charge!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - The Moon - reversed
* What I think it means - Wow! This is one freaky card! There are two naked dog headed blokes and one has a snake (A real snake, mind out the gutter) and there's a moon and wavey bits and should someone who's in my state be looking at a pic like that?
* What it really means - A mystery will be solved. Beware of secret enemies.
* It's influence - Well the mystery might have been why my ear has been deafer then a 100 year old codger's, but the secret enemies? Eh, as long as they stay secret they can go play amongst themselves. You haven't lived if you don't have a few secret anti-admirers!

Tuesday 21 December 2010
Isn't it interesting to meet people you've only ever heard of, from friends or relatives or co workers? People who's lives and stories, dramas, heart aches and personal glories you know through someone else, but whom you couldn't pick out of a crowd of one person?
And isn't it strange when they're not at all like you imagined? Prettier, uglier or just so different that they don't compute?
Oh oh or when, you hear about how awesome that person is and when you meet face to face, they crush your hand in a death grip handshake and glare blue murder into your unsuspecting face because their view of you has been coloured a totally different shade of 'What the Heck'?
It's all too just amusing!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - 2 of swords
* What I think it means - I haven't the foggiest! It doesn't look super happy though.. stupid sword cards are all overly emo!
* What it really means - The divorce card.
* It's influence - Well now that's just make me chuckle for the whole day! Indeed indeed!! People not being what you expect... I love the sword cards!

Okay so I've lost 50% of my hearing and now my right ear is mearly there for decorative perposes. And I'm hoping like crazy this is just a phase it's going through and sure that can be a bit of a bother, but I've decided to take it from the more positive side! There must be some good to having a deaf ear! Let's see...
1. Well I sleep a lot better! Everything is so nice and quiet when I lean on my left ear! Loud music? No worries! Snore like saw mill? Eh, whatever, snuggle up, don't bother me none!
2. I get to hear my music a whole new way at night! I still put both earphones in (Its nice and symmetrical and I don't end up rolling onto it), but I don't hear stereo any more. It makes some songs terribly interesting to listen to! Now I can smirk when I see the artists and think, why yes I know your music just not the way you think I do! Haha!
3. It's an excellent excuse to ignore the guys who yell at me at the side of the roads when I walk. "Sorry what? Can't hear you!"
4. I only have to stick one finger in my ear to block someone / thing out - very ergonomical.
5. Now movie theatre music will only be loud as apposed to the usual LOUD!!
So there!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - Queen of cups - reversed
* What I think it means - Well it's got a woman with what looks like a turkey on her head. Just goes to show my sense of hearing is compromised, her fashion sense is as well, but mine is less obvious!
* What it really means - Someone who is gossipy or likes to over exaggerate situations!
* It's influence - Perfect! I can't hear them anyway! :P

Sometimes, when I look at the smiling faces of people I know, or sort of know, or heck, couldn't tell the difference from cheese to, I can't help wondering what their own life dramas are and how for real and certain is that lovely smile they're wearing? It's sort of a morbid thing, and sort of a 'I understand' sort of thing.
And I wonder what their struggles are. What hopes do they have that keep them going in spite of any fears they might have? And will those hopes last long enough? Who will break and why?
What if it's me?
Life isn't a book or a movie, it's hard to know anything about anyone, other then the facade they show to the world. How shocking to find out that sweet Mr X was really a pedophile, or that friendly Y committed suicide from depression or that Z cries themselves to sleep at night?
How do we know?
I really wish I could answer that.
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - The Hierophant
* What I think it means - Looks like a priest or such, probably some body preachy. *nods sagely*
* What it really means - Focus on the spiritual rather then material.
* It's influence - But not too much me thinks.

* What it really means - Look for strength in all things, solutions to problems and never give up!
* It's influence - I'm leaving that up to you to decide for yourself!

I think shops are very sneaky.
I suspect they make returning an object such a hassle, that at least 7/10 people end up going, "eh, what's the point?" And not bothering to return broken / damaged / derranged goods.
We took back a newly bought faulty radio thingy,(wasn't mine in case you're wondering, I've given up on ever getting along with non computer technology!), and the time it took just to get an exchange for the new one...I could have grown a small banzai and lovingly handed it down to my many times great-grand child!
And how much paperwork do they make you do? Sign this this, that, this, that, that, this here, that there, my left boob, there, here, this....
And just to make things worse, I left my cellphone at home so there was no other distraction then to re-watch the ending of Avatar, without noise, while I waited. Best viewing of Avatar I've seen to date!
But really, wouldn't it be nice if you could walk into the shop, explain the problem, have a competent person,who can spell hello as well as say it, help you out, trade the faulty goods and then be on your merry, with a song in your heart and a skip in your step?
Oh look! A flying pig...
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - Justice
* What I think it means - Well the lady is holding scales, a sword and has smoke coming out of her head. Me thinks she also had to wait in a customer service line just a few hours too long!
* What it really means - Legal dealings. Balance.
* It's influence - could it mean the wheel of karma will turn and everyone at *big name technology corporation* will come down with the squirts?

RAAAARH!!!
Third day raining and I'm going softly, quietly, totally and utterly MAD!!!!!!!!!!! < - - these are not the exclamation marks of a sane woman!!
I feel like an angry wasp trapped in a jam jar and believe me, someone is going to get such a sting when that lid finally opens!!!
It's at times like this, and only times like this, that I find lazy people very enviable. They just tootle on with life, watch tv, sit, sit and sit some more, scratch their bum, and hey, life is good!
While us more hyper people are left to pace the carpet bare with pent up energy and consider trying to climb the walls as an extra-curricular sport!!
Please, please, please let tomorrow be a dry rain free day! *sobs quietly*
Right let me go do something like... sit on the chair. Or sit on the bed. Go wild and sit on the table!
HELP ME!!!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - 5 of swords
* What I think it means - Well the little naked lassie all curled up looks a bit like she could use some exercise too!
* What it really means - Mental or health problems. Quarrels. An admirer.
* It's influence - How the heck do all three of the above relate to each other? As for mental problems... teeheeheee...

Oh did I sleep great last night, even though I was plagued by the weirdest dreams that had me waking up feeling very happy but slightly offended. < - - which is pretty much like every other day.
A mosquito did bite me though and I felt most taken advantage of! I hate all sorts of parasites! Whether they're mosquitoes, bed bugs, tape worms, lawyers or even the sort that come from the stars and eat their way out of your stomach and make Warrant Officer Ripley's space voyage a most uncomfortable one.
But mosquitoes are the ones I come up against the most! (sort of glad really cause the space alien sort are pretty much a once off deal!). My blood / body fluids are my own dammit! And those horrors are always far more attracted to me then to anyone else! I'm the one at parties who gets put on the far side of the seating arrangement so that all the mosquitoes head my way and leave everyone else in peace!
And telling me it's a compliment and that my blood must be pretty damn tasty doesn't exactly make me feel much better! Just more paranoid of cannibals... long story.
LEAVE ME ALONE YOU ABSOLUTE HORRORS!! *flails about a bit more for self delusion then any real hope of scaring anything off*
*pant...gasp...wheeze*
*scratches mozzie bite*
AAARGH!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - Wheel of fortune - reversed
* What I think it means - There are two buck naked devils, a naked sphinx and two entwined snakes all around a wheel! Makes me think of sci-fi pornos or last night's dream...
* What it really means - Don't take chances with your health. Feeling run down or depressed.
* It's influence - Curse you biting bastards...

Right that's it! I'm officially giving up on nail polish!
Probably!
Maybe.
It's my one feminine weakness, splashing two different sets of colours on my feet in random order. (My feet look alike but never dress alike, preferring mismatched socks and polishes). Problem is my feets are part of my body and my body is always active. this leads a to a lot of chipped paint which leaves me looking like intellectual trailer trash. (I get the intellectual bit from wearing glasses, cause all smart folk on tv wear glasses, ergo it must be true!)
I am going through polish at a phenomianal rate, but it's the cheap stuff, so Im probably supporting a family of seven in M'Beanie-land sweat shops when I buy the stuff! < - -Jo, always the humanitarian.
To paint or not to paint that is the question!
What do you think?
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - 10 of swords reversed
* What I think it means - Well those two people all tied up in bondage looks pretty kinky! Or maybe it means that I should keep the nail thing under wraps?
* What it really means - Karmic debt must be repaid. Being a special protector.
* It's influence - Fine I'll keep using the polish, eat well my little sweat shop worker family, next bowl of rice is on me!!

Ah working is fun!! Being so busy there's no time to think and the day flies past and the panic rises and you start running your fingers through your hair so much it starts coming out in clumps and your legs and arms twitch and your heart goes thumpity-thump and you feel sweat beading prettily on your brow and everyone else seems to be so relaxed cause it's Christmas and you're like 'what-does-that-have-to-do-with-me-god-I-wish-I-drank-coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool.
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - Page of Wands
* What I think it means - I don't know, I'm too busy to guess!
* What it really means - Rumours, childish pranks and impatient friends!
* It's influence - If they bother me, they die. That's it.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo vibed!!!
Off to the movies today, Hooray!
See now mostly I don't like going to cinemas. You can't pause the movie to go to the loo (and I always end up needing to go at important moments); you can't fast-forward the boring bits; there's always someone who didn't mute their cell phone and, perhaps the single largest atrocity, they don't let you take watermelon into the movie!
Sometimes I don't know what this world is coming to.
I'll admit 3D is also not top of the pops with me either. Makes my eyes feel all wonky like. And if you take the nose-eating glasses off you can't look at the screen without feeling woozy. (Large parts of Avatar passed in a tear induced haze...)
So why am I happy to go with all these terrible and dreaded threats hanging above my head?
Actually I'm not sure, I have to think about that...
I suppose cause it's still an adventure to go out to one. There's something awfully fun about hunting for your seat (and thank goodness it wasn't next to that twitchy guy in the raincoat), and feeling very satisfied when you find them and promptly decide they're the best in the house and how clever you were to get them, you stud you!
I like the trailers as well. Sometimes they're the best part of the movie!
And then you get to see the whole movie on a ginormous screen with music so loud it grapples your very bones!
Most satisfying.
So I'm now off to go watch Mega-mind (Apparently it's soooooooooo funny that waiting for it on DVD would be sacrilegious!)
Please! Don't envy me little one.
Alright you can envy me a bit...
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - 8 of swords
* What I think it means - Well it looks like a brutal card what with the wee little people all tied up and not looking like it's S&M goodness.
* What it really means - Feelings of being trapped and confused. Confusion. A female out for revenge.
* It's influence - A female out for revenge? Someone's going to be kicking my chair today aren't they? Grrrrr!

I am a physical person.
Now I don't just mean that in some naughty, kinky way, so no comments on that in this blog... stop looking so hopeful dammit!!!
But I do love the human connection. Hugs, pats, touch on the knee, someone to cry against, or to cry on me (and hope the tears don't leave stains...)
Interacting with people, telling daft jokes, being the small freaky bastard that I am, and even getting judged for it. To me, it's all very thrilling! It's part of who I am.
I don't know how the loners do it. Those people who can survive just being by themselves and not needing anyone. It blows my mind! Hats off to you guys for doing what I can't.
I used to think that was the sort of person I was, the introvert, reading a book and keeping myself to myself.
Oops, there you go, even I misjudged me!
It's an odd sensation.
I hate to admit it, but I, Jovvi Rain Hudson... I... LIKE PEOPLE!!! >_<
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - Ace of Pentacles - reversed
* What I think it means - As long as it's not death and destruction, I can probably manage. It's been a tough day, please be gentle...
* What it really means - The asker will suffer from greed, materialism and poverty.
* It's influence - Well so far I just have the last one. Though I did have an extra packet of cashew nuts today, so there's that greed surfacing...

Thursday 09 December 2010
I suspect I like doing laundry. It was some what unexpected. Love would be too strong a word, I'm not the sort to go waltzing about with the Omo washing powder while singing softly to it. (...and anyway if I did I wouldn't say. But I don't!)
There is a sort of thrill in taking dirty laundry out to the machine, and with a touch of a few buttons, some soap and a kick, watching it twirling round and round and transforming into something a bit more nasally palatable.
I'll admit hanging laundry is not always so fun, the sun can get pretty beastly and ravange your good senses after a few minutes. I've come back inside more then once, wobbly legged and bopping into tables while giggling.
To combat this I have become a rogue card and tend not to use pegs when hanging my stuff! I know what you're thinking, what a wild thing she is! How on the edge! What can I say, I'm crazy that way.
The clean laundry, all warm and dry, is the real highlight. It always feels like Christmas as you see the clothing all good and ready and you remember ooooh, I wore that last week and it was so comfy! I'll wear it tomorrow!! (As long as it's not a Wednesday and you're looking at your favorite nurses outfit - bosses have terrible issues with good taste...)
It really is very satisfying!I say this cause I know people well enough to know that 9/10 who read this will snort and hand their washing over to Mumu the maid without a second thought!
Mumu will understand though.
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - 2 of cups
* What I think it means - The disembodied entwined hands tell me it's either a love-love card or has something to do with dismemberment. Sort of wish it was the latter, even though it stains more.
* What it really means - Wonderful relationship of mind and body, reconciliation, engagement, marriage or pregnancy.
* It's influence - Cor blimey, obviously I'm doing my washing the wrong way...!

Wednesday 08 December 2010
See I thought of starting my thought of the Day nice and early and putting in some deep wisdom, with a side order of philosophy and a smattering of grated opinion.
But my mind is being very unco-operative.
Do you ever have that? Just when you're focusing in for some good thought and enlightenment, your brain turns on you and snaps: "Bugger off! I'm watching the game!"
To which you then reply: "What game, the tv isn't on! I don't even have a tv!"
And then of course you start arguing with yourself and then the fists fly and if you're lucky someone will come and toss water on you before they call the blokes with the butterfly nets.
Right well as you can see I've drawn a total blank.
I shall just have to take the day as it comes and hope for divine inspiration for tomorrow. I couldn't think of a single topic, like religion, politics, spirituality, life, love, hope, fruit, dancing, animals...
Not a single topic!
Welcome to Wednesday people! ^_-
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - The Devil
* What I think it means - I think I've had this one reversed. Being me thought I totally forgot what it means. Could it be that I will get up to some glorious mischief today? Hopefully it doesn't mean that my walk will smell like fire and brimstone, cause yesterday that lake-like thing near us honked and I could smell MacDonalds, which always reminds me of the smell of boiled human flesh (Which of course is mildly disturbing as I've never smelt boiled human flesh - or at least hope not - god my tummy feels funny now...)
* What it really means - Greed, perversion and Lust. Being around someone who isn't nice,Mental illness
* It's influence - Damn this is going to be an interesting day isn't it?!

Aaaaaaaah!!!
I hate job hunting!!!! Someone hire me for something, anything please!

That is the end of today's rant. Please email or contact on a chat program for more frustration, desperation and/or gnawing of knuckles.
Thank you for your time.

TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - Justice
* What I think it means - If it's saying not having a job is meant to be then I may have to get physical and not in a nice, turkish hot oil kind of way either!
* What it really means - Balance is required. Honesty is essential. Stick to your guns.
* It's influence - Yeah balance I could sure go for. Honesty comes with the package and as to guns.... ☆¸.•*`'•. ★ ~~~guns~~~ ☆¸.•*`'•. ★

Monday 06 December 2010
Job hunting is by far the most painful part of my entire existance and the blazing irony of my life in that I am one of the few people out there who really, really wants to work!
Seriously I hate being bored with a passion! Being made to work till I drop without room to do much more stop every now and then for a loo break, well that would be heaven! Overworked is an experience I'm crossing my fingers for!
Being a grand old lady of 32, with no transport (apparently feet don't count) and little experience, has not exactly got people bashing down my door to hire me. And they're making it awfully hard to get such a wonderful person as me on their staff but putting in things like '2 years experience required' or 'own transport essential' or 'must be willing to dress up as a howler monkey' (Applied to that one, they've yet to get back to me...)
Got any advice amigo?
p.s. No I will never learn to drive. Never ever ever amen! Scooter, feet or levitation only!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - 8 of cups
* What I think it means - Well there's a lady with a bunch of cups balanced on her head. Does that mean I have to learn a new skill? Not if I end up making the sort of face she's making. (Between you and me I think she needs more fiber in her diet...)
* What it really means - New Beginnings, don't live in the past.
* It's influence - Wow nifty! Is there anyone else who's thinking the card of the day is pretty much always surprisingly accurate?
Seriously I hate being bored with a passion! Being made to work till I drop without room to do much more stop every now and then for a loo break, well that would be heaven! Overworked is an experience I'm crossing my fingers for!
Being a grand old lady of 32, with no transport (apparently feet don't count) and little experience, has not exactly got people bashing down my door to hire me. And they're making it awfully hard to get such a wonderful person as me on their staff but putting in things like '2 years experience required' or 'own transport essential' or 'must be willing to dress up as a howler monkey' (Applied to that one, they've yet to get back to me...)
Got any advice amigo?
p.s. No I will never learn to drive. Never ever ever amen! Scooter, feet or levitation only!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - 8 of cups
* What I think it means - Well there's a lady with a bunch of cups balanced on her head. Does that mean I have to learn a new skill? Not if I end up making the sort of face she's making. (Between you and me I think she needs more fiber in her diet...)

Isn't life a crazy place? How is it things can never just go from A to B but require you to jump hoops to C, W and E, back down R S V P and around to F U?
In my life this is pretty much the set game plan with the odd fiery pit or old guy with gropey hands tossed in for poops and giggles.
We don't get our dream job (or in my case any job, I mean for friks sake, HIRE ME already, what is it, do I smell funky, cause I bath plenty you know!), we don't get the person we want (or even let them know they're the person we want), or someone cuts in line and grabs the last fruit salad inches from our noses! (Perhaps the worst of the lot!)
Life is odd! Complex and, I suspect, not without it's own sadistic brand of humour.
Or is that just me?
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - The Fool - reversed
* What I think it means - I've done something stupid haven't I?
* What it really means - The Asker will feel she is constantly in a rut. She may do something selfish or thoughtless
* It's influence - Ah shuddup!

Oh bugger! Forgot to do a thought on Friday in my defense I was... um... oh can't tell you that can I ... well I was busy!
Life has gotten very interesting though. I must say I've learnt a lot of things, most of them unmentionable, in the last few months. It has been nothing if not entertaining. I never knew my mind worked that way. I like it!
But isn't life so unpredictable? I mean sure you might not see that you'll spill your coffee or get a spider bite to the soft and tenders on the loo seat one night, but unpredictable change can come slowly and sneakily as well. People can and do change as time goes by. A leopard may not be able to change it's spots, but it can change it's focus on what spots it notices!
God I'm deep!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - Knight of wands
* What I think it means - He looks a saucy lad with his wand in his hand - interpret as ye wish.
* What it really means - A light haired person, with the gift of the gab who's prone to putting their foot in it.
* It's influence - yeah but what does that mean? I'll meet him? I'll get mugged by him? I'll dress him in a bear outfit and make him dance Bobo dance?!

I miss the swings that used to near the fruit shop in Benoni. They were good ones. Nice wooden seats with good, strong chains. I could get some real velocity going with those puppies!
The trick was to get on them when the park security guard was over the bridge and under the trees on the other side of the stream. He was quite the stickler for rules and believed firmly that if you were over 14 years old you weren't supposed to be on the swings. I think people with the souls of 14 year olds should be allowed on though, don't you?
But the ideal was to see how much swing I could get in before he saw me, recognized the hat, and started coming back to tell me off. My timing got to the point where I could get some speed going, tickle sky with my feet, and still manage to leap off and make a dash for freedom! (Once or twice that lead to skinned knees or some really awesome bruising! < - - Jo's are enthusiastic but not, alas, grace on heels)
But life changes and things move on, for better or for worse, and those swings aren’t part of my life anymore. But one day, oh hell yes… one day I’ll be back!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - The magician – reversed. (Lot of reversed cards lately…)
* What I think it means - I’m going to be turning tricks?
* What it really means – Deceit and lies will be present, Watch out for bad luck and obstacles
* It's influence – It’s Thursday today, could the card be any more correct?

I do like xmas traditions!
I'm not not keen on the whole jesus and motley crew bit, religion never sits well on my shoulders (especially not with this sunburn...)
But I do love putting a tree up! All the colour and splash! The finding bits that have gone AWOL, accidentally stepping on great grandma's last delicate glass ornament, getting tangled in tinsel or having to check the whole 'bloody' string of lights to find the one loose one that's stopping all the rest from working!
It's just magical!
I also like watching, "The nightmare before xmas", the night before xmas. It's so cute and I can sing along to all the songs. Which is either a good thing or just sad, depending on your life outlook.
And there's presents! I find if I even just have one, it makes the whole of xmas worthwhile. I'm a firm believer in not opening your present(s) until xmas morning and have the will power to keep mine when everyone else savages theirs pre-dawn.
For me Xmas is a time to feel gratitude for the people in your life. The gift is to say, hey you, thank you for being there, I love you.
So now I'm off to sing carols to myself and stare at the nifty tree and feel all very warm and gooey!
Bugger the cynics - I LOVE XMAS!!!
TAROT CARD OF THE DAY - 9 of cups - reversed
* What I think it means - Looks like weird uncle harry got into the eggnog again and is making a royal mess
* What it really means - One may be susceptible to over eating, over drinking or weight gain.
* It's influence - Note to self, give everyone chocolates so they gain more then I do!
