I think I got him. Not so sure though. I don’t know what’s sadder, a movie starring that guy or the fact that I went out of my to take his picture.
2025 me here: Looks like I didn’t do a great job saving my photos from pre-2011. Too bad. I forgot I took a stealth, grainy photo of this on my way to work.
Ehhh. I feel about as enthusiastic as a dust bunny. Which is what the first thing I saw to complete my simile as my head slowly lolled over onto my shoulder. Bleah. The naming of the owl? What was the Owl’s name in the Secret of NIMH. let me look it up. It’s just the great owl. Well that doesn’t work. umm. How about the Owl in ahhh what other movie is an owl in? I’m not using Hedwick. Archimedes? From the Sword in the Stone. mmm. too many syllables. Maybe a Greek name. Or an Egyptian name. Horace. My owls name is Horace. There. Done. Horace the eater of pigeons.
My day was spent doing two things. (1) Playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (2) Sending out resumes and cover letters. Yup. Pretty lame. Lame day, lame post. I’m stagnating.
The Ancient Undergrad 
Hahaha, I believe that IS him. Bravo.
Eh, my day was lame, too. It’s ok.

I work on a campus which includes a Seminary, so there are older, more mature people there with families and such. I saw an owl which looks just like yours on a banister today in the campus apartments section and thought, what the hell? The I remembered yours, and laughed. It must be for the pigeons, which are rampant in Chicago. I like the name you’ve decided upon.
Don’t worry about feeling a little stressed and apathetic right now. It’s perfectly normal, and you’re entitled to it. I know you’ll find a great job and be just fine. Warm hugs at this difficult and transitional time; I imagine you need some–even if it’s through a damn Xanga comment.

I’ve actually seen some pretty excited dust bunnies. They can get quite worked up, especially during mating season. My favorite part of Grand Theft Auto games is the radio talk shows, like VCPR and Vrock in Vice City. I would sit and watch my brother do jumps on his motorcycle for hours, just so we could listen to the hilarity. Horace is an excellent name for an owl.

Holy HELL! You’re a triple Scorpio: Sun Sign (i.e. your regular ol’ sugn), ascendant (or rising sign), AND your moon. I have never seen such a thing. That is waaaay intense, and unusual. Check it out: (Google anything you may need help understanding. The litlte text was which, for example, says “Mercury,” then with the name of a sign next to it (like, your Mercury is in Scorpio. Mercury is the planet which rules communication, amongst other things, so your communication style would reflect the qualities associated with Pluto, which rules Scorpio). This stuff all gets pretty complicated, but that’s a general explanation for now.
I’ll tell you this much. You’re no one to fuck with with a chart like that. (and no prob, it takes jusxt a second).

whoops, I goofed there. you’re a double Scorp. your Sun and Rising sign are in Scorpio, your Moon in Sagittarius. That’s still pretty unusual, though, and you have a lot of your planets in Scorp. you’re still no one fuck with.
