Another thing that happened this weekend, the soldier and I got into a fight. It was unfortunate but y’all know this happens and he’s got a new way of trying to deal with me.  A Mercury in Aries way this is.

He says my abstract thinking is hard for him to fathom as is my “writer” language. He thinks I overstate things, using words like “heinous” and “horrific” which he feels do not suit the situation at all.

Most unfortunate for him, this very tendency of mine loops him in tighter because it is Anne Of Green Gables speak.  Recall she is always in the very depths of despair… and you know the soldier likes Anne.

But anyway he told me of his new technique which I think he called “bracketing”. Basically you have to discover the extent of a target… the area it covers so you can decide how you are going to attack it. So he asks me questions like this:

“When you say I am heinous, do you mean right now today, or all the time?”

::smiles::

See?  See how smart he is?  Because I say, “No, you were not heinous yesterday but you are heinous today…”

“Well, that’s good. So the problem is not a big as it could be.  My heinousness is limited at least….”

And then he asks me to outline all of his heinous acts which I have to say bores me,  having to line them all out and enumerate them.

I do it though so I cannot be accused of being difficult or uncooperative because after all, I have Libra.
