A touch of wanderlust

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The idea of a housewarming party comes from
an old British tradition. People who were moving would carry away embers
from the fireplace of the home they were leaving and bring them to the
fireplace of the new home. I recommend that you borrow this idea and
apply it to the transition you're making. As you migrate toward the
future, bring along a symbolic spark of the vitality that has animated the
situation you're transitioning out of.

Uncle Rob seems to know my thoughts quite a bit of late. When I came home from my travels last night, I had this grump of the flat is too dark and when they were showing my place, they did something with the blinds. It was all easily fixed but it feels like my time here is probably ending as while the sink is fixed, my landlords have just making me grumpy more of late. Normally I feel happier to be back but it was a point of huh, yeah, I think I will be moving on soon.

My interview went incredibly well and I can certainly see myself working at that school. I'm still processing it as I've had three days of four to six hour drives in a row, but tomorrow I don't work and will finally see The Avengers. I would have seen it today but I had a phone interview that also went really well with another school. I feel like I know how I might fit into these schools and I love it. Each conversation makes me realize what I know and what I can do.

Oh and I'm having some amazing roleplaying stuff that Twitter has been hearing about. That added a lot of fun to my long days of driving.

Now for another round of the icon meme with icons from bjornwilde. If you'd like some icons just comment.



This was my very first icon that I made from the Ace of Cups in my tarot deck, which is the Faery Wicca one. In the link, the original image from the icon is the top right hand corner. I scanned it on my mother's scanner and then cropped it and for about two or three years it was my only icon. I'm still proud of it even though I don't use it that much.



I love the Harry Potter books and the Weasley family is one of my favorites within that world. I happened to see this icon and it reminded me of family parties with not enough seats and too much food and Harry Potter so I snagged it.



The Once and Future King is a book that I just adore and Merlin is such a fun show that when I was looking for a Merlin icon, I knew it had to say once and future king on it. This was the icon I found.



I loved Inception and the moment when Ariadne manipulates the landscape is probably one of my favorites in it. I wish they had been willing to be a little more surreal but its a great film. I knew I wanted an icon of that moment and it trickier to find than I expected.



spiffynamehere made me this icon and some other really pretty ones when she was in an icon making mood and I love it. Its so peaceful and contemplative.
