The Dark Side
The Aquarian personality can be chaotic and unpredictable, stubborn and rebellious, cranky and perverse. It is a sign which can be totally dedicated to being unconventional, whilst remaining stuck in a rigid, unrecognized pattern. It is also a sign which can become detached to the point of coldness, making it very difficult for ordinary mortals to relate to them. Aquarians do not care what the world thinks, however, so that social conventions are sometimes thrown out of the windows in favour of anarchy. The isolation this can sometimes bring can come as a surprise to them as they find it difficult to see how they might have behaved unreasonably.

I want to thank some of you for your kind words and virtual hugs during the difficult time of my mother's death.  I realised I had cut myself off from the world both real and virtual, turning my back on those.

Thank you for your hugs, prayers and concern, I may not have expressed it at the time but it helped me through those difficult days.  A hug is a powerful thing and it gave me comfort when things were tough.

On a tres cold Adelaide evening I returned to Paradise Interchange after a rather uneventful frantic day at work to find my car was not where I had left it.  To my horror the sturdy Polly had found herself on a joyride!  I stood open mouthed in front of the carparking space where my beloved blue toyota corolla beast should be.  After much umming and arring and rethinking my steps for the day (it was quite possible that I had actually parked somewhere else) I was comfortable in the knowledge that I had parked my car in the now empty spot.

After a call to hubby and a text message or two sharing my loss I trekked to the police station to make a report.  Having never had a car stolen before I was not up on the etiquette so when asked such questions as "how would you like your car secured" all I could answer was "I haven't got a clue".  40 minutes passed and then I headed home to mourn and share my loss with those friends on-line.

My sister in law logs onto messenger (an internet chat program) and I retell the tragic tale of how Polly abandoned me for some excitement.  After a couple of  "holy Cows!" Pippa then preceeds to tell me how she knows where it is and she thought it was weird that I was parked on a side street in Dernancourt.  So Dan and I jumped into his car and went and staked out my car until the cops rocked up.  All I can say is thank Dan for buying me personalised license plates.  Blue plates that say FNDNG0 really do stand out even if your car is rather none discript.

SO after all the excitement my car was stolen for all of 3 hours (that I'm aware of) - this is even better than the case of the missing ipod!  I lost my ipod on a street corner for two days before finding it again.

So Polly is now safely parked in the driveway after her rather over zealous adventure today.  My only complaint is that the thief couldn't have put all my stuff back in the glove compartment, but I suppose you can't have everything!

If anything this story goes to show just how small Adelaide really is.

Till my next case have a great time where ever you are in the world.

I know you will come and carry me out into the palace of winds

That’s all I’ve wanted, to walk in such a place with you.

With friends.

An earth without maps.

I had my cards read today and if any of it is true my life will be thrown into chaos.  Gone will be the safety net I have carefully built up around me.  Strangely, some of it wasn't a surprise, what I had been hoping for was to have my cards tell me I am on the right path.  Alas, the cards predict a 180 and I am not sure how I feel about that.  

Of course all this should be taken with a grain of salt.  If one was to change everything because of what some lady with a bunch of cards says while holding your watch..
