thirty-six. i don't know why that sounds so good. i didn't have a problem with thirty-five in theory, but i have always had this looking-forward-to feeling about both 36 and 37. i'm not sure why; they just sound like fun years. i must have, at some point, read something that stuck in my mind about somebody who felt really good at those ages, because i've been looking forward to this for years. thirty-six, thirty-seven; they're like these wild, libertine, salad days.
the new moebius has shamanistic qualities, because i made it for my birthday and i have a feeling it's just going to be a good year -- a hot year. a busy and full year, with big new truths and big new work.
notice -- no grey hairs. i got one grey hair in 1994 and it's still the only one i've got.
the yarn for this moebius was given to me by a friend for christmas. she knows who she is. do you see the subtle striping in the fabric? i'm glad it came out like that.
in slightly non-birthday related (but astrology related!) news, after a lifetime of believing my chinese astrology sign was the dog, i found out this week that in 1970 the lunar new year occurred on feb 5 -- which means i was NOT included in the year of the dog, and i am, in fact, a rooster! it took me all these years to find this out! other aquarians who think they know their chinese astrology sign ought to check it out -- you might be wrong, too!
for more of my ultra birthday, join the fun over on that side.
