20 Questions Tag!

I found this set of questions on WinterRose84's YouTube channel! :)

A purse. I don't mean to cheat but whether it has one thing or one hundred things inside, I feel lost without a handbag.

MAC

Cream/Pale pink roses.

Chance by Chanel but I'm starting to move away from it.

Flats are far more comfortable but heels are cuter and more flattering. It depends.

With his ego-denying qualities, Neptune could be considered the “anti-Mars.” Whereas Mars stands for war and lust, Neptune is about peace and love . . . well, maybe. It’s hard to know much of the time exactly what Neptune is about, but peace and love are in there somewhere.

Neptune is said to be a higher vibration of Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and harmony, so it’s better still that Venus in Pisces will feed into Neptune for the next three weeks.

The last time Neptune was in Pisces, from 1847 to 1862, the Transcendental Movement flourished in the United States, led by Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, and others. Spiritualism became a trend, with séances to contact spirits of the dead. Edgar Allen Poe wrote his most famous poem, “The Raven.” The first oil well was drilled. The first surgical operation using general anesthesia was performed. The Opium Wars occurred during this time, and while the conflict wasn’t entirely over the drug, it’s still interesting to note that there was a major war named for a narcotic while Neptune was in Pisces.

This time around, I expect there will be a widespread spiritual awakening. I know I sound like a broken record – I’ve been writing this for more than five years – but I do believe we’re getting closer and closer to understanding what “spirit” is.

Blast From the Past: April 1994

Bump n' Grind by R. Kelly




In April 1994, I was 8 years old and a second grader at St. Aloysius Catholic grade school. My life revolved around playing "teenagers" (my sister was and still is obsessed with Beverly Hills 90210) and Barbie dolls and hoping for a shih-tzu puppy (I would get one for my 9th birthday the following year). While the TV shows I mainly watched included the likes of Salute Your Shorts and Clarissa Explains It All, when it came to music, I was the equivalent of a gang banger. When my Catholic school had Friday night skating parties at Romp 'N Roll, I was the first kid to the DJ booth to request a couple skate to this number. Oh, memories.

April Fool's Day Jokes

Here's a brief rundown on some of the April Fool's Day jokes I performed today:

I set the clock on our stove to an hour behind. My Mom just thought the power went out. Winning.

I tweeted that I was listening to my favorite song of the year and supplied a link. What was the song you ask? It's FRIDAY...

I changed my facebook profile picture to a blue question mark (a la the original days of facebook when some profiles had a generic image for people who didn't supply a photo).

I changed my facebook job title to software engineer at Google. That's believable.

I told my Mom that Nancy Grace was retiring to spend more time with her twins (she never misses a show). She told me to be quiet because Nancy was talking.

I left my sister a voicemail saying that a guy she dated a long time ago called our house wanting to rekindle their flame. He was a total weirdo. She never called me back.

I sent my cousin an email telling her that I met a dreamy guy who would be perfect for her. She's a realtor, so I added that he was looking to purchase an expensive home and needed to hire an agent. She knew I was lying.

I called my friend and told her that I saw my ex-boyfriend with a trashy girl that was pregnant. Haven't heard back from her.

I posted on facebook the fact about the NCAA brackets on ESPN only having 2 successful entries. I said that I was one of the people who submitted a winning bracket. I don't think anyone "liked" that.


All in all, it was an unsuccessful April Fool's Day. I hate to use the word "fail" but in this case, it's necessary. But on the bright side, I wasn't tricked either. I read on facebook that my alma mater is changing its name- I thought this was a prank but it's actually true. I heard on KDKA radio that North Catholic will be called Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic when it moves its location to the Cranberry area :( What a joke!

Fact

There were 5.9 million brackets submitted to this year's ESPN pool. Only 2 people have the final four correctly predicted.
