forgetting
Noel Coward, the English playwright, and Pope Leo X (the fat guy who basically pissed off Martin Luther enough to incite the Protestant Revolution) were both Sagittariuses. Hello, finals week.
it's kind of amazing and sad what a necessity it is to forget. biologically, we're programmed to forget the pain of childbirth; if women didn't, there wouldn't be any more babies. dur. but on a much tinier level, if i remembered every good time in every place i've ever left, and with every friend i've ever let drift out of my life, i'd be a tearful disaster every day. conversely, though, it's just as necessary to purge the negative energy from our memories. to literally carry the world on our shoulders would make it impossible to walk, or even waddle.
i love London, but i'm beginning to tire of living with 40 crazy people and having to wear this many clothes (and i'm sick of wearing proper shoes!)... can't wait for Florida, my real family, painting, the Cheesecake Factory and loving on my lover. =)
