Sandman and Compatibility Charts

Sandman--faerie-tale character who sprinkled magic sand over the eyes of sleeping children to bring good sleep and dreams.

where did this come from?

i don't know, but the song "Enter Sandman" made me think about that.


--Say your prayers little one
--Dont forget, my son
--To include everyone
--Tuck you in, warm within
--keep you free from sin
--till the sandman he comes
--sleep with one eye open
--gripping your pillow tight

--CHORUS
--Exit, light
--Enter, Night
--Take my hand
--we're off to never-never land

--Somethings wrong, shut the light
--heavy thoughts tonight
--And they aren't of snow white
--dreams of war, dreams of liars
--dreams of dragon's fire
--and of things that will bite
--sleep with one eye open
--gripping your pillow tight

--CHORUS

--SOLO

--Now I lay me down to sleep (x2)
--I pray the lord my soul to keep (x2)
--If i die before i wake (x2)
--I pray the lord my soul to take (x2)

--hush little baby, don't say a word
--never mind that noise you heard
--it's just the beasts under your bed
--in your closet, in your head

--CHORUS (replacing 'take....land with 'grain of sand)
--CHORUS (done the normal way)


It's interesting how Metallica took the good-natured Sandman character and turned him into a nightmare...the one who brings bad dreams to children, instead of sleep and good dreams.

it's a song for the insomniac. maybe that's why i like it so much.


anyways, i was looking at my love compatibility chart--prospects for me look bleak. i mean, all it told me was that i'd never have anything with an Aquarius and the only thing i'd ever have with Gemini is adventure. basically, it looked like this:

these are all the different things that are possible--fun, romance, loyalty, adventure, passion, chilling out, spontaneity, and attentiveness.

Aries-- fun, romance, loyalty, adventure, passion, attentiveness

another Taurus-- fun, romance, loyalty, adventure, passion, chilling out, attentiveness

Gemini-- adventure

Cancer-- fun, romance, loyalty, passion, chilling out, spontaneity, attentiveness

Leo-- romance, loyalty, adventure, passion, chilling out, spontaneity, attentiveness

Virgo-- fun, romance, loyalty, adventure, passion, chilling out, attentiveness

Libra-- fun, romance, adventure, chilling out

Scorpio-- fun, romance, loyalty, adventure, passion, chilling out, attentiveness

Sagittarius-- fun, adventure, chilling out

Capricorn-- fun, romance, loyalty, adventure, passion, chilling out, attentiveness

Aquarius-- 0

Pisces-- fun, romance, loyalty, adventure, passion, chilling out, attentiveness


so, bascally, i get along well with almost every single other sign, but i'll never get any spontaneity from anyone--mainly because Taurus's kind of don't like that much at all.

other stuff it says about me--

i'm loyal aand love security. i have a big heart and will defend any of those i love with my very life. relationships and family are hugely important to me, and my favorite pastime might be a massive dinner party for those i love with lots of indulgent food and drink. i can be a little controlling of those i care for and try to live their life for them, assuming that i know best. i find it difficult to let go of the past, and once i love someone they will always remain in my heart.

i'm funny and warm and will never let down someone i care about. if a friend is in trouble, i am there n a flash to pck up the pieces and cook a comforting meal to cheer them up. i have a nurturing spirit, and although i can be demanding and difficult, i tend to receive back the degree of love that i give. i am as solid as a rock, and that is a rare commodity.

stubborn, sulky, and downright belligerent when i want to be, i never give in and find it hard to apologize. i can be jealous and possessive and need constant reassurance from people; i don't ask for it in an obvious way but i soon let people know if i am not getting my fair share of pampering. i can be lazy and expect others to wait on me hand and foot. (here Brii inserts "damnit. i've been working on it!!!!")

i am totally dependable but fantasize about a life away from all the security that i've creaed. i may long for a romantic fling with no strings attatched, and to explore my freedom. i have a vivid imagination and often daydream about ex-lovers, and i'm a great one for the phrase "what if?" these secret cravings can hold me back, but i'm not supposed to feel guilty, because everyone has a secret side.


so yeah, okay, i can see that. i try real hard not to be too expectant though!!! i try to do my side of things, always, really i do!



other random stuff for my specific birthday--

whaaatever. i don't even know why i like this stuff. i just do. :/ i can't help it.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air
And more inconstant than the wind, who wooes
Even now the frozen bosom of the north,
And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence,
Turning his face to the dew-dropping south.

~Shakespear, "Romeo and Juliet," Act 1, Scene IV, Mercutio

Love to All,
