fairly accurate, especially the faults

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 31). You place yourself in service to humanity. "Humanity" is not always an easy customer, and the obstacles that ensue will contribute to your spiritual might. Truly, you gain the most from your own selflessness. You'll bank on it in October, and there's another windfall in December. Travel and romance come in mid-2019. Gemini and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 40, 1, 22 and 15.

The guys in the department have started calling me Mother of Humanities. Ya know, like that makes them dragons?

If romance finds me it will have to include travel, logically.

Wow am I busy. I am almost too distracted to be hormonal. But I am stocking up on stockings like a maniac squirrel hoarding panties instead of necessities in the middle of the night as I try to get my mind off work, so yea. (In my defense, they're way more comfy than pantyhose.)

I really need to put my private life on my to-do list. But I suck at personal lifing :(

Thought just occured to me: "I will try not to suck too much" in a romantic context is a hilarious thing to say. Like, if some guy said that about himself to me as a sales pitch, I'd laugh and probably be smitten, but coming from a woman it'd be way funnier! Right? (Or no?)

That sign is around the corner from my house at a mechanic's. They change it every few weeks just for shits and giggles. I love stuff like that.

VIRGO. You make a promise, and then you keep it. So why shouldn't you expect the same from others? Relatedly, if you don't think a person will come through for you, don't ask them to.

Wouldn't dream of it anymore.

feist - century
I never imagined I would be chair of a humanities department. I never imagined I would be any of the things I am, for both better and worse.

buckskin stallion blues - amy annelle

In her poem "Dogfish," Virgo poet Mary Oliver writes, "I wanted the past to go away, I wanted to leave it." Why? Because she wanted her life "to open like a hinge, like a wing." I'm happy to tell you, Virgo, that you now have more power than usual to make your past go away. I'm also pleased to speculate that as you perform this service for yourself, you'll be skillful enough to preserve the parts of your past that inspire you, even as you shrink and neutralize memories that drain you. In response to this good work, I bet your life will open like a hinge, like a wing -- no later than your birthday, and most likely before that.
