Thanks for the interesting comments around who writes (and who reads) this blog. Dani mentioned the Scorpios who lurk the blog but never comment and I’ll tell you something. I know of them. Some of them.

See, I have written online nearly daily for going on six years now and have about a dozen lurking Scorpios I am very aware of. I am aware of them because they surface via email on occasion for this or that or the other thing.

There is one man who comes up to be snarky. I forgive him this, because I know he is only snarky because he adores my ass, so there. When I read his crap I think, “Fuck you back, buddy,” and I think it with a smile.

There are two others out there who only come up every year or two. Yes!! But their mails are potent, very helpful and supportive. They are also inordinately thoughtful, respectful, well-timed, and loving. There is an exchange, it is significant and then down they go for another 18 months.

There is another woman who surfaces far more frequently. Every time I’m in trouble, she’s there. When she senses my energy dropping, she gets under me with hers, and I am very grateful. Her love moves me. And I know her life is hard, so it moves me even more. She is just a very giving human being. The kind you’d want for a mom.

There are two others lurking, who I hate. I fuckin’ loathe them, and I’ll tell you why. They both offered to do something for me…they promised something and did not deliver. And I hate that. Loathe, I mean.

Really, there are only three things that bug the shit out of me and the other two things are very innocuous. I hate people who wear perfume in the gym and I hate motherfuckers who don’t hold the door. The people who are so inconsiderate of others, they let doors shut in people’s faces? Yecch!

But these things pale in comparison to what I really hate which is people who are insincere and lack integrity. Because I figure, what do I ask for? Nothing. I virtually never ask anyone for anything. I have no expectation and that’s a fact.

But by God, if you write me with your big promise of what you’re going to do for me and then forget to deliver, you can be sure I never will. Forget that is. And I will think you a complete shithead…er, scratch that. I will know you are a complete shithead, though I won’t mention it because I have Libra and also because I hate you too much to bother.

Now there are a few others I know of, but these are the six with the largest presence in my mind, outside the people I know in real life. Tra la la.

And to the others Scorpios who lurk here, I have this to say:

Rock on. Glad to have you.
