When Gemini and Libra come together in a love affair, they enjoy a great relationship based on intellectual interests and mental agility. Dual-natured Gemini loves Libra's balance, and Libra is always entertained by the chatty, brainy Twins. Libra loves art and beauty while Gemini loves the beauty of an idea, but these loves aren't far off from one another. Both Gemini and Libra have a great deal of mental energy. They can come up with all sorts of great ideas when they work together, and Libra has the get-up-and-go needed to put their ideas into action, a quality which Gemini tends to lack. In fact, in the birth of an idea Gemini is better at pontification than direction, but this is a valuable contribution to Libra's mental process. Both Signs share a need for intellectual freedom, which they can certainly provide for one another. Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus (Love) and Gemini by the Planet Mercury (Communication). Libra and Gemini work well together; they combine the forces of love and communication. As Libra prizes harmony with their lover almost above all else, Gemini won't be able to indulge their love of a good, hearty debate too often; Libra would rather do almost anything than argue. Both Libra and Gemini are Air Signs. Gemini loves Libra's energy and has no trouble keeping up when Libra is off and running with a new idea, art project or other pursuit. Both Signs have wide-ranging interests, giving them great material for provocative discussion. Gemini is a Mutable Sign and Libra is a Cardinal Sign. Libra likes a position of leadership in a relationship. They most often come up with the date ideas, for example, and flexible Gemini's happy to go along -- as long as it's okay to change their minds at the last minute. Libra tends to initiate things but has trouble finishing them; Gemini is so adaptable, they won't mind switching gears on a moment's notice and moving on to something else if Libra gets bored. What's the best aspect of the Gemini-Libra relationship? Their ability to work together as an intellectual team. Together they can expose each other to new and different points of view and areas of interest, and help one another open up their worlds.

Another Year, Another Website
Yes, it's 2012 and I'm at it again with another site. It seems like I complain about everyone being too plugged into the matrix --myself included--yet every year I create another personal page, much to my chagrin. And so I've gone and done it again: my new site is The Mascara Diaries
It'll be full of all the random, trivial, superficial musings that run through my head at any given time, along with all of my mascara & other makeup obsessions. I hope you'll follow me there and get to know yet another facet to find out what makes me tick (though I doubt that'll ever happen, bwahahaha).

Bucket List Trips
A Facebook/Twitter buddy of mine just posted a wonderful and inspiring list of places to visit before one dies and of course, I just had to share it here. Not only are the locations fun and exciting, the pictures the site shows of each location are gorgeous. If the pics don't inspire you to get off your butt, save money and miles to travel and see the world, I don't know what will. #ijs

Don't Be Fooled...
Another random quote I came across and absolutely love and identify with:
I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be, but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.
Recognize, fool! ;)

Aspire!
Random quote from my Twitter feed that I fell in love with just this minute:
Life's short. Don't wish you could be where you were, Remember who you were. Know who you are. and Rise to who you will become!

Holly Would...
Holly Would Dream by Karen QuinnMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Although super, super predictable and cheesy, the narrator actually made me laugh out loud. The author's knowledge of all things Hepburn was admirable and her characters were lovingly written; I even learned about a bit about the museum world. Holly's experience in Rome left me nostalgic and made me want to revisit the Eternal City. I really enjoyed this light-hearted book--it was just what I needed to pick me up from a heavy novel I'd read beforehand.

A Lovely Quote
My mind has been kind of dabbling at this topic lately, and coincidence of all coincidences, I came across this beautifully worded quote. Absorb:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

The Origin of Words
So many times we say things without truly understanding what they mean--words/phrases/colloquialisms. As I get older, it's starting to irk me more and more whenever I hear someone say something they think is "cool" and have totally missed the mark. Or when someone uses a phrase like "rule of thumb" and doesn't know where it originated and what it meant when it was coined. "Fingers crossed!" and millions of other words and phrases we use everyday have historical, religious, racial, philosophical (etc.) references that we never sought to understand on our own. I bring this up today because of the internet craze called "planking." People are going around and taking pictures of themselves lying flat, face-down and spread-eagle (like a Superman pose) in "weird" places and then post them online. Where does the word planking stem from? Well, an acquaintance on Facebook finally looked it up:
Planking: a term used by slave owners as a method of stacking slaves on a ship. Slave traders stacked slaves on plank beds, face-down on slave ships, hands chained to their waists, and called it "planking the slaves."
I posted this on my Facebook status and it sparked quite a conversation both on and offline, so much so that several friends have taken it upon themselves to research this even further. Here are a couple of other links:

So, let's think before we speak, yes?
