Catching Idle Butterflies

Look at ME! I got opinions, and lots of them!

David McClain was super kind to give Mavis Moog , PlannerDan and me one of these for our recent debate:



I think it suits me, don't you? I love to stand on a soap box (though mostly because it puts me at eye level with the rest of the world) and scream out my opinions, even with the microphones, (sorry if I caused anyone permanent ear damage). That I have an audience, well, now that's a bonus! No wonder I'm addicted to blogging!

I don't put a lot of stock in astrology, but there are some things about it that make an eerie sense. For instance, I bought a metal keychain, wow, 22 years ago now, that has a lion on one side, and on the back it lists a Leo's general traits: Generous, Trusting, Energetic, Authoritative, Warm-hearted, Proud, Domineering. Yep, I'd say those describe me pretty well, especially the proud and domineering.

I'm much like Nada 's niece(?) Aleya, in that you will have my undivided attention and love, as long as the conversation is about ME! Okay, maybe I'm not that bad, but whenever I see 'vivacious' in someone else's blog, dang does my chest and head swell! It's a chore to read the entire entry from top to bottom instead of merely concentrating on what that person has to say about ME!

Maybe that's why many actors are Leos. We thrive on attention. No, it's worse than that. We can't live without it. You can torture us by ignoring us, but that only works for a short while. Being so domineering, we WILL get your attention eventually, no matter what it takes . . . as long as it doesn't sacrifice our pride. Usually, though it involves being generous, energetic and warm-hearted. That way you'll feel guilty for ignoring us and shower us with all the attention we crave.

I'll stop there. I don't want to give away all our secrets of how we manipulate you into loving us .
