My Chinese Zodiac - The Rabbit

I don't believe in horoscopes, but this is pretty damn accurate.

Timid and attractive, the Rabbits of the Chinese Zodiac tend to act more like bunnies, whether they like it or not! This Sign is extremely popular and has a wide circle of family and friends. Its compassionate nature leads it to be very protective of those it holds dear, but where romance is concerned, the Rabbit's sentimentality can lead it to idealize relationships. The sweet, sensitive Rabbit often ends up giving more of itself to a partner than is realistic or healthy. The good news is, when this Sign goes off-balance, the Rabbit's core group of friends and its stable home life help bring it back to center.

The Rabbit is a rather delicate Sign that needs a solid base in order to thrive. Lacking close, supportive friends and family, the Rabbit might just break down in tears at the first sign of conflict. Emotional upsets in this Sign's life can even lead to physical illnesses. Rabbits dislike arguments and other conflict and will try anything to avoid a fight; this results in something of a pushover nature. Rabbits can also lapse into pessimism and may seem stuck in life -- often to mask their insecure natures. Rabbits tend to move through life's lessons at their own, rather contemplative pace; it's a waste of time to become exasperated with this Sign's seeming disinterest in facing its problems and conquering them.

With the right partner -- meaning someone whose high principles won't allow it to take advantage of this sensitive, giving Sign -- the Rabbit can make an incredibly loving and protective partner or family member. Rabbits love to entertain at home and always make sure their house is comfortable and tastefully-furnished. What Rabbits need most is a stronger sense of self-worth and the security that comes with it. Their discerning natures, coupled with some hard-won assertiveness, will help these happy creatures go far.

Ten Four Good Buddy

Well, I'm probably going to enlist into the military. I'm unhappy with the direction my life is (or isn't) going in, tired of feeling stuck, tired of trying to find money to get back to college and never getting the hours I need (in a job that, honestly, I hate). So I'm going to enlist in the Army and try and put some of my crazy life back together... and get paid to learn some awesome life skills. And, hey, other guys in uniform seem to have no problem finding a lovely woman to call their own - Maybe it'll work for a nerd like me, too.

But anyway, on to more ramblings... which I have not done in a long while...

I saw Wolverine: Origins or whatever it was called tonight. Didn't like it that much. They _REALLY_ screwed up on Deadpool. I mean, REALLY messed up. That is not the Wade I know and love... nowhere NEAR it. Ugh... And don't even get me started on Gambit...

I've decided never again to go to a midnight showing of a movie... no, I'm not "exhausted" after I go to them (quite the opposite, usually), but I'm lonely. What, lonely? Yes, lonely. I walk to my car - alone. I drive home - alone. I get home, quietly, and go up to my room - alone. No one to say goodnight to (they're asleep), no one to greet me. It's kind of cold and depressing...

Ever driven on the road in the twilight hours, especially roads not connected to any major highways? They're empty. That just adds to the loneliness - The quiet, dark, empty loneliness.

Now, before I'm written off as an emo, no, I'm not a dark, empty soul whom no one cares about. I have a lot of caring friends and I have a great, loving family. I'm not "alone." At least not all the time. But it's in those dark, quiet moments when loneliness REALLY hits me... And I just can't seem to shake it.

I really need a good cheering up... Maybe I'll just try to close my eyes and sleep, do my best to enjoy tomorrow... Er, or, today.

Whatever!
