    <content type="html">I saw 3 bands and asserted my independence.  I took a cab even though my parents thought it was a waste of money.  The Hard Lessons did a mostly acoustic and bluesy set at the art fair, which was a little something different, yet still fun.  They also remembered my article/convo on them from a year ago, which was nice, since I hadn't bothered to talk to them since.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was just ordered to write a happy entry because I'm usually only motivated to write here when I'm sad.  Tonight will either be karaoke, swing dancing, or the Dark Knight.  NOthing to be sad about now.  WOO HOO!</content>

    <content type="html">So, when I was bored/procrastinating, I created my own 'international holiday' on Facebook, just because I see all these stupid 'holidays' someone dreams up like International Kiss and Italian Day, that get 1,000's of people to RSVP to them.  I figured it was MY TURN to make up my own holiday, so I decided to make International Spin in a Circle Day---COMPLETELY unintelligent and pointless, needless to say.  So far, I have 7 confirmed participants, 2 of which are complete strangers (which dorkily excites me) and 3 maybe participants.  I'm finding that yes, it is true....Any event with the word 'international' on Facebook has followers, even if they just RSVP and don't participate.  If I can achieve this in 4 minutes online, I can only IMAGINE what a cult leader could achieve after years scheming up a plan.  And what better tool for this cult leader than Facebook?</content>

    <content type="html">One of your friends is seeking a bit more independence in your relationship, and it could feel like they are pushing you away. Do not let your fears get the better of you. Just because they are being vague about future plans or saying 'no' a little bit more often to your social invitations does not mean that they are changing how they feel about you. Learning how to be alone is a skill everyone should learn, and they are in the midst of their lesson now. Give them space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You cannot go forward when you're looking in the rearview mirror -- a bad accident is sure to happen, and it might be one you can't walk away from. So pay attention to what is going on around you and focus on the here-and-now, today. Yesterday is old news, and it will only distract you from seeing where you need to go. Let go of old ideas and lost opportunities and make room for new challenges and new hopes. There are things beyond your control. The sooner you accept that, the better.</content>
