Spring. Ha. Saturday night turned into a hurricane-type rain and wind storm, followed by baby blizzards on and off all through Sunday and a temperature high of Damned Cold. Only in Canada. More specifically, only in Montreal. I expect my mother to call any moment to tell me that the forsythia is blooming in Oakville.
I had a fantastic time on Saturday night at the slumber party. Most of the time I hang around with guys, so the last time I was at an all-female sleepover was in elementary school. It was terrific to just sit around, chatting, munching non-nutritious foods (although we used very high-quality European chocolate for the fondue which means more cocoa and less sugar, and there was a lot of fruit involved), sharing daiquiris and watching movies. We even made a montage video for the one person who was unable to attend due to pregancy complications and total bed-rest orders. We all surprised ourselves by actually staying up until five (everyone was secretly certain we’d call it a night around one), and we slept until eleven when we got up to make pancakes and bacon and tea. All in all, a wonderful experience. It’s an odd feeling to realise that I have a group of girl-friends I can hang out with as well as guy-friends. It’s not that I choose to hang out with guys over girls; it’s just that I see people as people, and spend time with interesting ones, no matter what their sex.
In other news, I have been dubbed a Forest Breeze in the Natural Wonder allotment of titles:
Not only that, in a Major Arcana multiple-choice, I came out as the High Priestess:
The High Priestess is the third card in the Major Arcana sequence and focuses on mystical knowledge, intuition, wisdom, the unconscious mind, hidden knowledge, silence, dreams, ebb and flow of movement, female mystery, and so forth.This is a card that comes up a lot for me, and it’s usually trying to tell me that I should trust myself. Ironic that this card should be the one that best describes me in an on-line test. Coincidence? Or is it conspiracy? I think the universe is laughing at me.
