and away we go.

(dear shanna and nicole, apologies for the last post. this one is for you.)

its almost two in the morning, on april 20. like i've said, all along, arlo will not be born today, but i'm awake anyway, with the insomnia that has come and gone over the last few weeks. today does mark the first day taurus-dom, 2010. so there's that.

given that i may have hurt feelings with my last post (though knowing my taurus friends as i do, i feel strongly they were only protesting out of protestation, not hurt feelings), i should probably make a few things clear:

my favorite people come in four types:

junes,
late augusts,
early novembers,
and tauri.

and, to be honest, if i add up the junes, augusts and novembers that i can remember, i come up with a measly ten people.

just for kicks, here's a partial listing of the tauri i've adored, off the top of my head:
nanna, benett, nomi, mike, robby, kahlil, pete, alex, libby, nicole, ally, jessica, kirsti, shanna, sam, and the countless other people we had a party for back in 2002 at the oregon street house. obviously, i'm outnumbered, not to mention that i know i'm forgetting some.

i have no beef with you, taurus. it is more like i am in awe of you. you outdo me. i can't compete. and yet, i gravitate to you, like moth to flame. i meet someone, i instantly love them, and indeed, they are one of you.

and now (some day hopefully soon), i'll have one of you for my very own...i am simply so unprepared.
