June birthdays
Today my absolute favourite person in the world celebrates his birthday. Thing is, he's not really wild about acknowledging it, in fact, he'd really rather ignore it. But of course, I want to make some fuss over him on his birthday, but I've kinda learned to let him take the lead on it, so we do as much or as little as he'd like. Over the years we've gone to see his friend's band play and last year we went to see The Kids in the Hall. This year, after a rather action-packed May, I didn't really have anything planned for his birthday, so he declared that on this past Saturday, we'd take Jet to see Up and have lunch out and then bbq some steaks for dinner. I also said, since he'd been complaining about needing new clothes, that we'd go on a shopping excursion on Monday (so, today) and get him some new clothes. This all seemed to go down fine, and I understand his not wanting a big fuss made on his birthday, but I also feel kinda guilty when I don't. Guess I kinda see it as my job to fuss over him :)
Anyway, not only is Graig's birthday in June, but three others I hold near and dear also celebrate their birthdays this month and it got me to thinking, weirdly about astrology. Astrology is not something I really give much thought to. I don't really believe in it or follow horoscopes or anything like that, but it seems that according to astrology, Libra and Gemini pairings are supposedly amongst the most harmonious and long lasting of all the zodiac. And given my relationship with my husband, I'm inclined to agree.
But it's not just my relationship with my husband that makes me actually think there might just be a little something to this whole thing, as my best friend for the last 24 years is a Gemini (kon_el333), my dear friend Ciaran, whom I've been friends with for 16 years now, is a Gemini, and faithfan someone I've been friends with for 10 years now, even though we've never actually met face to face, is another Gemini in my life.
Oh sure, there are others in my life I have been friends with for a very long time who are not Geminis, but I guess I do find it interesting that there is a bit of a... pattern here.
This still isn't enough to make me believe in astrology though ;)
