The Princess has an important message:

My people, if you want something real bad GO GET IT! Cause sometimes that opportunity comes only once, and you don´t really regret it that much until the moment you realise it WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. Then you´ll just spend the rest of your life kicking yourself. And that hurts.

The Princess has spoken.

You guessed it, tanisha cross -- it's your daily horoscope!

CANCER:
>>Thursday, May 30

You might want to take a long walk in an effort to breathe, and balance
your desire to take action with your understanding that people have to
learn their own lessons at their own speed. As you are fully aware,
sometimes there isn't very much you can do to move them - or the process
- along.

hmm....
and i was just about to go sharpen my sword.

i tried the walk. sat down in Plaza de Castilla just chilling the same day my horoscope said i would want to kill someone whos taking it way too far, just to breathe. its this place with these two towers that lean in towards each other. i was lookin at the space in between them, thinking i bet there were people just sitting watching the Twin Towers and then there appeared two planes... im sure no one thought anything of it until there was the crash. musta been freaky to watch. i was thinking all this, when out of nowhere came this helicopter, RIGHT BETWEEN THEM. i near freak out. i mean, i am in madrid, centre of ETA terrorist attacks (unaware as i am as to when and where the bombings are happening) and theres a helicopter flying at full speed straight between two towers. o my lord. well, it didnt hit or anything, but in my imagination i saw a whole sept. 11 episode right in fromt of me. i came back to Earth eventually, and noticed that the fountain in front of me was so pretty and so relaxing.....

a bit random huh?

well anyway.

went to a drag queen show and dinner with some friends last nite. it was so cool. men were HOT. damn. no wonder the place was ram off with gorgeous women dressed to kill. and there was me in boots an a camouflage skirt, and Vay in a army scarf round her head (can we say ´survivor´?) . we kinda stood out. but i dont care, cuz all the o-so-hot men were comin to our table. its such a shame, but at the same time kinda cool that we can ogle without getting sleazed on.

im tired of getting stared at in the metro. shit. i hate being stared at for being Black. and my housemate Christina gets stared at for being blonde and blue-eyed. its the most amazing thing when its both of us together, like freakin United Colours of Benetton. we look so different, we dress different, we speak English... spaniards are fascinated by us.

anywayz. its time to eat. fruit salada i think - peaches, strawberries, cherries, apples and oranges. yum.

im out. an im gonna try REAL hard not to KILL.

Can you say crab on a bender? Mars, the planet of aggression, moves
into your sign for the next 6 - weeks, turning your vaunted tolerance to
ashes and raising and lowering the temperature like a two-year-old
playing with a thermostat. Do the best you can to make love, not war.
