Weeping Willow (Melancholy) - likes to be stress free, loves family life, full of hopes and dreams, attractive, very empathetic, loves anything beautiful, musically inclined, loves to travel to exotic places, restless, capricious, honest, can be influenced but is not easy to live with when pressured, sometimes demanding, good intuition, suffers in love until they find that one loyal, steadfast partner; loves to make others laugh.
I am one of the evil lepers, and in Southern California, smoking makes you the antichrist. I'll quit eventually, but when you think about it, we all quit eventually.
Of course, there's no smoking in public places here, something I got used to rather quickly. I've always been a little self-conscious of inflicting my nasty habit upon others, and actually make an effort not to smoke around those that don't. So, in summary, I don't mind stepping outside...
Bored? Perhaps. Addicted? Probably. I suppose I qualify for the "same crowd." I jump on and off during an evening, perhaps a cumulative half hour or so. I can share some laughs, garner a few insights, and maybe high-five a guy from the UK. At the end of the day, the world seems a little smaller. No bad thing, methinks.
In a way I kind of understand the movement. Last year, I was back home in Michigan, having breakfast with a friend. After we were done, we could actually light up a cigarette (in the restaurant!), which, after five years here, felt very odd. I guess I have always been a little self-conscious of inflicting my habit upon others.
There's a little diner up the street from me here that I frequent often. Out front, there are ashtrays, and I more-or-less know all the old-timers as we hang out there. It's all good.
I think I could find my soulmate at the local 7-11, the bank, or at the swap meet. Of course, here, you have a population of like-minded individuals, which certainly helps.
