the hour we knew nothing of each other

stolen from LJ friends! :D

stolen from Liz, Carmen and Karen (and others). :D

I am not too surprised to get this card, but it is always the Star's closer to my mind. :D

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

I got them from Alex but sadly I couldn't get along well with them--they are too cold for me, and they aren't relax enough to provide me the alternative to my three decks by Scapini.

stolen from various LJ friends. :D

that's funny. when I was living in the NYC, everyone looked at me strangely when I spoke. they didn't expect someone looks like an young Asain American's got a British accent!! anyway, I think I didn't have an American accent, at least don't speak like those New Yorkers. LoL

I am always feeling a bit upset, if that’s the right word, when time’s about to change—I mean, when it’s getting darker and darker but the official time wasn’t back to GMT since late September; or when the day is getting longer in mid-March. It is always a great relief to me when the clock is finally put back or moved forward; as if this specific action punctured the official announcement of “this is winter” and I don’t have to pretend that Winter’s not yet here. That’s what I feel today!! :)

So the day before the clock put back to GMT was always one of the strangest day to me. This year, I am glad that I wasn’t able to “think” about this, more or less. The whole daytime, I was in Theatre Museum for a must-attend but a very boring conference, to deliver a paper. It might be one of the last event that was hosted there because the Theatre Museum’s going to be a shopping mall soon I guess.

I really hate conferences because most of the time I don’t find it necessary to speak up and people expect you to talk about something, even non-sense. Not that I am usually totally agree with someones’ opinions but that it is just not possible to have people communicate with other in occasions as such. Why speak just for the sake of speaking? And in this certain occasion, I don’t really have to be have a certain kind of “British Asian identity” to attend the conference right? And while I don’t consider the whole identity politics is a smart strategy at all those sharing similar research areas with me are all talking about it. I was just fed up. Why everything needs to begin with “identity”?

To play with my girls is more interesting than attending a conference.
