Is it in the Stars?

I've been wanting to update this blog for a few days now, but I didn't quite know what to write. Now that my dating woes with my ex have come to a screeching halt, there seems much less to write about...Why does drama make the best content?

Well, I do have something that may be worthy of posting to my blog. I met someone, only I didn't want to write about him because I didn't want to jinx it. We only met about three weeks ago; everything is still fresh and new so I don't know if he's really worth my blogspace and time yet. But, just in case he is, I thought I'd introduce you to him.

Meet MK.

Now, you may roll your eyes at the fact that I believe in Astrology. But all I have to say is that some of the readings are just too accurate not to be true. No, I'm not talking about the generic "Today will be your lucky day" fortunes. I'm thinking more along the lines of character descriptions. Every reading on Scorpios (moi) that I've ever come across talk about how passionate and intense we are. They go more in-depth than that, but I've made a post in the past about zodiac, so I'll spare you the details. Aside from that, every Gemini description I've ever seen talks about how flighty, free spirited, and flirtatious, they are--all of which are characteristics of my ex. And when you put the two together, Scorpio and Gemini, the most common response I received was "You two are so different! This would NEVER work!"...So much for my optimism, but all the readings were right. We were just too different to get along. I loved intimacy and security, he loved to flirt and couldn't commit. We lived life with totally different expectations and the only way we would've worked is if we were at least on the same page. We weren't even in the same book.

So forgive me for getting a little excited when I read the description for Cancers. They are described as being sensitive, romantic, gentle, and loyal. And when paired with Scorpios, it is said to be "one of the more intense and romantic combinations than you ever imagined, where each partner's strengths balancing the other's weaknesses." They say the Cancer's tendency toward caring will never generate the jealousy characteristic in the Scorpio whose intimate strength will provide the security that sensitive Cancer seeks.

I'm trying to be careful not to count the eggs before they hatch, or even begin to fantasize about a relationship with him for that matter, but the "what ifs" are a bit hard to ignore...He seems nice. He seems caring. And he seems to like me alot. But I still have my guards up and, though I'm willing to give him a chance, he's going to have to work alot harder for me to give him my heart.
