IDK about a bias yet. Nobody's vibing me as bias material.

I just found out about VIXX's comeback, and it is absolutely killing me. It's my aesthetic…

Hello everyone. I am back with another one of my mild text walls. I am wondering if today is perhaps a double goldies earning day as the new yin yang kitties contribution item just came out yesterday? Does anyone know if that is the case? Well either way, I do not have the opportunity to come online all that often now that classes have started again so I will take this chance to type as much as I can in order to earn more goldies. I sure do miss the somewhat greater free time that I used to enjoy. In fact, there were so many times I can remember being on Menewsha for really long periods of time at once and being the last poster in like every thread because for some reason no one else was on at the time to post after me and respond to what I had to say. But I sure am glad to see that a lot of people are posting every now and then both here in the Hangouts forum and elsewhere on Menewsha. And I am so excited for the upcoming event because it means that a lot of people will be coming back out of lurking or out of hiatus for a bit at the same time so it will be a livelier community for at least a bit. I do not mind the pace of this website right now, as it allows me to be on hiatus while also being able to come back and not get too far behind on conversations that are happening, if you know what I mean.

hello amane

Most people know hardly anything about astrology. They think it's saying, "You were born on this day, and therefore everything you do is because of this astrological sign. It's the magic of the stars. What? That doesn't sound like you? Oh well. People are people, after all. Do what feels right!"
Astrology is much, much more complex than that. Did you know every sign
and every planet affects your personality? Asteroids and stars affect you as well. Astrology is actually saying, "You were born on this day at this time in this exact place, and because of what the planets looked like from that location at that time, you will have experiences mainly in your earliest years but throughout your entire life that will encourage you to develop a set of personalities. Which personality shows depends on the situation."
That thing that you know as your "sign" because of the day you were born is your Sun sign. It's where the sun was when you were born. It's an anchor for the rest of your personality, the same way the planets revolve around the sun. If you don't think your Sun sign fits you, it's because of the other stuff in your astrology. I know I myself don't feel like my Sun sign, yet I have a cluster of core planets in that sign. *rubs temple* I may have figured out why just last night.

If you want a truly accurate description of your personality from an astrological standpoint, you'll need your birth date, time, and city and a birth chart generator. And somebody who knows how to interpret or enough resources to do so yourself.

I did say astrology is psychology's spiritual twin. They are the same in that they're both a study of what makes you act the way you do. They both have a ton of theories that can't be 100% proven. Both are broken down into fields you can concentrate on depending on what interests you. Your learning is never truly done. I could think about this wall o' text later and think I did a bang-up job explaining all of this. Especially since I've never cracked open a psychology book in my life and what I'm saying about it is based on what I've seen others say about it.
The core thing that separates astrology and psychology is that one is spiritual and one is realistic. Astrology
does suggest a greater force is out there directing us and things happen because fate. At least, I think it's fate. Most astrologers I've seen believe in free will, but the more I learn about astrology, the harder it is for me to believe the same. I think psychology is like science in that it seeks a logical explanation for everything. By the way, did you know that if you can't disprove something, it's not science? And in math, if you can't disprove something, it's instantly true?

If you talk about astrology without dropping any terms, it sounds like a logical explanation rather than boiling your condition down to "it was fate."
Here's an astrology thing: I have a Cancer Midheaven, so I want to be treated gently.
Now, if you try to get that across without using any terms: When I was younger, I felt like my value in my family was determined by how successful I was. It was like working for a job and keeping my performance up lest my employer replace me. That's why I'm so cold with my family. They didn't teach me that family had an emotional bond. So now I look for that emotional bond when I go out into the world. I want people who will find value in me just because I'm me. I want them to not expect anything of me; they'll accept and love me no matter what.
Sounds like a psychologist's view to me.

Something I'm working on is being able to explain every sign and planet in a realistic way.
Like what I was saying about Neptune earlier? I absorb thinking and talking styles like a sponge. I can question something I've known to be true since I was seven years old just because some idiot is so insistent that I'm wrong. Taking sides on issues is the worst for me because I can see where every side's coming from.
I'm not sure how to explain my Neptune placement in realist terms yet. The placement, at its core, says I was deceived about how to take in the world around me and how to express myself in it. So deceived that I'm never totally sure how to. As a result, I end up mirroring however other people do those things. I do it without thinking!
There's also the angle that says I'm like that because I'm taking in information on a psychic level. My thoughts seem random and unfocused when really the future is being laid out before me.

P.S. Don't believe in Ophiuchus. Just don't. I'll gladly wall o' text you up again if you want to know why.

Someone on TV just said, "Chicken, bacon…," and now I want to eat. *facepalm*

Blue, are you talking about Fantasy?

As a matter of fact Mene is the only place online where I'm participating in the community (in the smallest way, I know) because college is extremely busy for me. I had a no-staying-up rule until high school because if I sleep even an hour late everything gets messed up- my IBS goes crazy the next day, and I'll be yawning and swaying on my feet all throughout the next day, often accompanied by mild headaches. But now I've actually had to break the rule and I've stayed up till midnight for the sake of completing homework. But fortunately I've been able to adapt to college life pretty well. My physical issues aren't hindering me too much.

So yeah. I like Mene's pace. It's the only pace I can keep up with.

I THINK??)'s head movement + side hair flip at 1:11 and Leo's back hair flip at 0:23 and just COUNTLESS OTHER PARTS LIKE HONGBIN'S CLOSE-UPS *hyperventilates*

You don't need to learn how you go with your gut you break things down. You look at something and think: I can make that! And then you figure out how to with items around you. I've made some snowman centrepieces recently out of milkshake bottles which I papier mached, and I made their scarves with scrap felt and their noses I used a toilet tube roled in to a cone and wrapped orange yarn around it. Then For their head wear one had earmuffd I made using ribbon and pom poms and the other had a boat hat made form a bottle cap, felt, stuffing and the plastic ring from a bottle :D

I like to make "candles" by wrapping toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls and the rolls inside wrapping paper with different colored tissue paper, twisting one end and gluing the other end flat.
Then I cut the shape of the flame...2 of them per candle and glue them on each side of the twisted "wicks."
Candles can be embellished with glitter or paint...or whatever fits one's fancy...
These can be grouped together in graduating heights and glued to a flat base...or wrapped with ribbon, garland or...again, whatever strikes your fancy...Maybe fake holly?
I like to make short ones and make little bases to put them in...I used a luminescent, clear wrapping paper over the flame and it created a nearly "real" appearance when they caught the twinkling lights from the Christmas tree.
I think this is a simple craft that doesn't require expensive materials or skill..and might be enjoyed by groups like kids' clubs, daycares, and, possibly, nursing homes.

I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT THE LAST POSTER HERE! I got somethin' for ya'! Shoutout to Mene user Nephila for asking about one of my posts and inspiring this.

I'll talk about that post because it's a good way to begin this.

/I was recently in a conversation with some really critical people
/reminded me why I don't wanna share my art with just anyone
The first line is what I'll be typing away about today. The rest is related. I've already said why I won't share my art with just anyone.
So, I was in a conversation on another website. About bad TV show finales. I didn't know most of the shows, so I was mostly observing. When one I had seen came up, they tore its finale apart like they considered it the worst finale to ever hit the screen. They hoped no show they were currently watching would end so horribly.
Me? I thought the finale was fun, sweet, surprising… an all-around good ending. I was like, "You guys thought it was that bad?" And they were like, "YES." And I was like, "God, you guys are critical. I didn't see a thing wrong with it!" And they were like, "Of course you didn't. We love you, our precious uncritical child." And I was like,
(P.S. I don't know these people well yet and I'd never told them about my difficulties with finding flaws. Freaky how they just knew, right?)

I find myself in situations like that all the time. It's because… I don't… criticize any of the arts. Stories, pictures, acting, singing, dancing… none of that. I don't see any problems with it. None. All of it is amazing to me. I would be the worst reviewer ever, trufax. I once had to write a review for school. That was bad. Seriously, five stars A++ four thumbs up rating for everything. I don't know what caused me to develop that perception, to take things as they are without questioning. On a few occasions, if I do think something's weird, I assume I'm wrong. I usually am when that happens.

And then when I'm dealing with my own art, my critical side is like, "Release the Kraken." Believe me, I can find clichés, bad characters, rushed plotlines, and disappointing endings. When they're mine. I probably criticize myself to an unhealthy extent, but the first step in fixing a problem is wanting to fix it. I'm not there yet. We can have a party with lots of cake when I get there.

Now, I said the people from that conversation were "really critical." Myyy standard of "really critical" is a lot lower than what I've been led to assume yours, reader, is. In truth, they were like everyone else I know—had any capacity to criticize others' work at all. I'm the only person I've met (with whom I've touched on this subject, anyway) who never sees anything wrong with others' creative work. So, they were just… "normal." The conversation reminded me why I don't want to share my art with just anyone. I don't want to put anything out there for everyone else to throw tomatoes at.

Now, on to what this wall o' text is mainly about!

There are some things that I love so much I can't share them because I don't want others to ruin them for me. I'll talk about music and shows.

I love it when a song hits my emotions so hard that I'm like, this is so perfect… And then, for several days, I perceive reality from behind a fog of whatever emotional spell the song has cast upon me. There aren't many songs that do that to me, but when they happen… oh. In other cases, I'll watch something I think is amazing in every way and I'll be hooked. Best story to come into my life EVER. Yes, I'm aware I'm saying every story is the best ever.

What problems arise if I dare talk about my interest? As I said. For starters, differing perceptions.

Other people care about things I'd rather not think about. Once I learn what they see, I can't stop thinking about it, I can't ignore it, and then I might not be able to enjoy the thing anymore. A great example is the village it takes to make creative work happen. Others LOVE that stuff. Everyone but me, it seems. Everyone who has learned creative work takes a village. I really, really don't want to hear about it. I'm not saying people who work on those things don't deserve recognition. I'm saying thinking about them constantly while trying to enjoy the creative thing takes away all the fun. All I see is a bunch of work. No story. Just people who worked hard, wow. That's not what I call fun. I call that "Wow, it's amazing they pulled that off!" Fun for me is forgetting the village behind and getting lost in what is readily in front of me. I see a flying angel with beautiful wings, not the marvels of invisible wires and CG. How is that any fun?

Another instance: I have a friend who enjoys things by laughing at them, okay? That's how she rolls. If she loves it, she loves to make a joke of it. Let's just say I don't. I take things more seriously than I oughta' when I like them as deeply as I'm talking about right now. I have told her before that there are some things I can't tell her about because she'll make them into a derpfest.

That's not all. When I hear a song and my emotions get hit so hard, it's a gorgeous life experience in my head, but when I try to put it into words, that is
embarrassing, guys. That I'm getting so emotionally involved in something that isn't real. I think I'm gonna regret this wall o' text later. 'Cause that's not something I'm proud of. *shivers* At least Mene's a small community. Anyway, I'm like, "Really? It's just a music video…" "I would never say that to any of the people behind the scenes. That's obsessive. How creepy." No one's gonna get as emotionally involved as I did! Like… I'm going to want to get all deep and have the real talks about the song, and they're just gonna react to the song like, "Oh, cool. Nice!" And I'm gonna be like, on the inside, "DON'T YOU SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS IS? HOW ARE YOU NOT SLIPPING SO DEEP INTO YOUR IMAGINATION AND DROWNING SO FAR UNDER THE VIVIDNESS OF YOUR FEELINGS THAT THE ONLY THING KEEPING YOU IN REALITY FOR AT THE LEAST THREE DAYS STRAIGHT IS YOUR STUPID NERVOUS SYSTEM PICKING UP PHYSICAL SENSATIONS?" And on the outside, I'll just be like, "Yeah! I love it! c:"

Now the stuff about my inability to criticize is relevant. OPINIONS.

I'm not going to be harsh like everyone else is. I can't see anything that way. Unless it's mine, like I said. I see everything as flawless until some unhappy camper comes along and plants "they can't act and the script is terrible" in my head. Then the stupid thing grows vines all over everything and I can't see the thing I once LOVED. *makes fists* Even when they're just like, "I don't like it," it messes with me. I can't stop seeing the thing in the light of "Hm, what might someone not like?" And then it's like I myself don't like it. I really still do like it, but my thoughts are always tainted with what's not to like. It's horrible.

That's not to say I love everything I see. It's that I don't see anything as bad. You can dislike something but not think it's poorly done. That makes sense, right? There are some subjects or genres that aren't my jam. Even though I don't think they're done badly, I'm not interested.

In short, when I really like something, the best thing I can do is shut up about it. I can't risk losing my pure image of it.

And, of course, I didn't forget the gang: Menelaus: Inzanebraned: Siren Sonder: Mr. Wrong: salvete: Ava The Vampire: Lavinia:
At least, I hope I didn't forget any. I get so many positive comments on my walls o' text.
