where it was cold and sunny and, of course windy. carrying on with the things i like list.
that hyaluronic acid gel i got from the supermarket, which worked wonders on my skin. of course, they don't have it anymore, as sister went yesterday at that specific supermarket and did not find it. note to self for next time i find it: BUY 4 OR 5 PACKS. my skin and I are really picky about cosmetics. you know, sometimes i envy women born with porcelain skin, who don't remove make-up for days and still look flawless. i don't have that luck. this is why finding products which are good for my skin makes me particularly happy. like the vichy foundation, the iwostin line and the deceased faberlic line (*snif, how i loved thee, faberlic). the newest addition is this very great hyaluronic gel.
then there's clothes in stores that fit me perfectly and are on sale. especially pants.
then there's those days when i feel pretty, oh so pretty and people compliment me for that (i never pretended not to be afflicted by libran vanity)

re: about air signs men i was talking on a previous post. found this article here where it compares the aquarian man to merlin. from my knowledge, it rings quite true. as in, they totally tend to live backwards, sideways, any direction which is opposite the way most people go. yes, they have grand visions and countless theories and goddess help us all if they find a king arthur to put their plans into action. when it all comes crashing down, of course it's everyone else's fault but Aquarius'. that's the way things go. however, i would like to point out that Nimue/Morgan - depends on the version, really, (there was this other interesting article with the gospel according to Aquarius and his tendency to convert people to it) stole all his tricks and we all know how that story ended. direct quote from wikipedia:
"In the Lancelot-Grail and later accounts Merlin's eventual downfall came from his lusting after a huntress named Niviane (or Nymue, Nimue, Niniane, Nyneue, or Viviane in some versions of the legend), who was the daughter of the king of Northumberland. In the Suite du Merlin ^[3], for example, Niviane is about to depart from Arthur's court, but, with some encouragement from Merlin, Arthur asks her to stay in his castle with the queen. During her stay, Merlin falls in love with her and desires her. Niviane, frightened that Merlin might take advantage of her with his spells, swears that she will never love him unless he swears to teach her all of his magic. Merlin consents, unaware that throughout the course of her lessons, Niviane will use Merlin's own powers against him, forcing him to do her bidding.^[3]
When Niviane finally goes back to her country, Merlin escorts her. However, along the way, Merlin receives a vision that Arthur is in need of assistance against the schemes of Morgan le Fay. Niviane and Merlin rush back to Arthur's castle, but have to stop for the night in a stone chamber, once inhabited by two lovers. Merlin relates that when the lovers died, they were placed in a magic tomb within a room in the chamber. That night, while Merlin is asleep, Niviane, still disgusted with Merlin's desire for her, as well as his demon heritage, casts a spell over him and places him in the magic tomb so that he can never escape, thus causing his death.^[3]
Merlin's death is recounted differently in other versions of the narrative, the enchanted prison variously described as a cave (in the Lancelot-Grail), a large rock (in Le Morte d'Arthur), an invisible tower. In the Prophetiae Merlini, Niviane confines him in the forest of Brocéliande with walls of air, visible as mist to others but as a beautiful tower to him"
