Well, I didn't fail my exam after all. (Shush, you, I know what you're thinking.) Actually, nobody failed it, which is a first for any of our exams. I actually got myself a solid B. Again. I've gotten within three points of the same score on each of my four exams so far, all solid B's, which I am more than happy with, considering I didn't study for more than two hours for any of them. In fact, I really haven't done much reading at all this semester. I don't know what that says about the program, or if I just kind of get it. Maybe I'm smarter than I think I am. (Again -- Shush, you.)

My horoscope has been very interesting this week. It's almost being too nice to me, espcially considering how crappy August and September were to me... Consider Sunday's:

Thinking about moving in with someone, getting married, or taking that giant step toward intimacy? Well, there's no time like the present to do just that. All the lights are green. Go for it.

Ahem. What?! Do they know something I don't? Actually, that "giant step toward intimacy" line was pretty much right on... Then there's Tuesday's:

As the love energy gets turned up to high, you may almost feel a bit overwhelmed. Ease into the next few glorious days by concocting a sweet plan of action. Tonight, you spend time searching for or remembering romance and tender companionship. When you enter a room, things begin to happen. See what you can do to make things work out the way you want. Some decisions take more time. And sometimes it's best to act on impulse.

And then there was today's:

Your agenda for the evening -- and possibly the day -- will include yet more warm hugs, laughter and good feelings. Yes, again. Oh, admit it. You're tired, but you're loving it. The stars give you a clear line of sight down a row of perfectly ordered priorities. Let your feet move you along in perfect time to the music. For once, your inner voices are in agreement. There's something here that will appeal to each facet of your personality. You're a great public relations figure and an ideal romantic partner. Whether you're facing a crowd or going one-on-one, you're delightful company in any setting. Everything that happens is all about you. No, it's not your ego that's gone out control, it's your charisma -- people will fall all over themselves to get closer.

Laughter? Check. Good feelings? Check. Warm hugs? Not so much -- he's in Kansas City. Tired? Hell, yes, but absolutely loving it. And tomorrow's:

You don't have to have all the answers now. You'll figure it out as you go along. You're used to getting your way and today is no exception. Is there no end to what you can get other people to do for you? The stars make you irresistibly persuasive. Charm takes over where reason leaves off. You have the ability and the will to shape events, but be careful. This is an awesome opportunity, and it isn't meant for just anybody. With all this power in your hands, make sure that your motives are pure. Start a whole slew of stuff in the romantic realm. The time's right for initiating all sorts of new contact -- and you can worry about finishing what you begin later.

The stars really like me right now, and I'm certainly not complaining. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to wait until Saturday to start that whole slew of stuff in the romantic realm. But I certainly have plans already... I just can't wait to get this week over with and get on with my weekend.

My head has been swimming a little over the past week, partly due to my evening with Jason last Wednesday, partly due to our encounter Saturday, partly due to some conversations I've had with the new boy. I keep having these flashes of feelings -- sadness, anger, glee, hurt, gratitude -- they run the whole spectrum of emotion. I'm kind of having some trouble sorting them out. Basically, so far I've just been letting them come and go, not judging them (or myself), and not trying to make sense of them, and that seems to be going alright. I guess I'm realizing a lot of new things about myself, about parts of me that I lost touch with over the last four years. I'm realizing I was shutting out parts of me that were extremely important, and I'm really coming to terms with how much that affected me. [Um, if you're related to me, you can stop reading now -- there's nothing good beyond this point. Seriously.]

Specifically, over the last month, I realized how sexually repressed I was in my previous relationship. I don't know really how much of that had to do with me, how much to do with him, and how much to do with the relationship in general, but take my word for it: Our sex life was terrible. At the time, I knew that it wasn't great, and we talked about it, but we never really did anything about it. And the thing is, I didn't quite realize just how bad it was until I started to engage in a more "normal" (whatever that is, really) intimate relationship with a person who is very forward and vocal about his thoughts and needs and, um, stuff. Honestly, it's kind of bad how oblivious I was about it. So I've been going through the last two weeks reflecting on my last four years as a sexual being, and trying to figure out what went wrong. I got nothin'. But I'm trying a few things. I went shopping at the toy store (wink, wink) and got some books, and some toys, and some other stuff; I've made an appointment with my doctor; and I've changed a few things that might have been affecting my libido. I'm actually starting to think that, aside from the obvious head case issues -- the brain is the largest sex organ, as we all know -- there might be some hormonal issue involved. But, honestly, just paying attention to that part of me again is really refreshing. It feels indulgent, and a little bit naughty, but also really great, especially since I'm with someone now who's interested in that part of me, too. I don't know. I don't think I'll be updating on this again, but it's been a big part of my consciousness for the last week, so I wanted to spit it out onto the Wordpad and get it out of my head. Like dooce says, it's time to reconvene the procedure, and I'm really excited about it.
