Yes, but a little more than that. I know introverts who can't stand a silent house, but love being alone.

Well I'm no astrologer but I used to go out with a girl who was heavily into all that kind of stuff. She told me that my personality fit to a tee my star sign -- Virgo. She also got in Shamanism and told me my 'Earth' symbol, whatever that means, was 'The Bear', a reclusive, hibernating, loner of an animal. Sometimes I wonder if she wasn't right

Yes, I was hoping people would realize that difference. I"m definitely NOT talking about 'nature' sounds. Who needs a completely silent universe?

I enjoy the sounds of kids playing, (not right outside my door tho!) wind, rain, birds, or an occasional car.

i don't think it's anything to do with astrologie but in french we describe someone who is reclusive and doesn't like people very much as a bear.

Now that is weird (then again that girl was very weird too). She got particularly upset when I played snap with her Tarot cards and used her crystal ball as a hatstand

I'm surprised she didn't curse you as she left........or am I thinking of gypsies?

Did she ever 'read' you with the cards?

All the time, there wasn't a day that went by without her trying to divine my fortune

But as I'm a "let it happen" kind of person, and have always lived day-by-day, I always upset her by not taking it seriously. She especially didn't like my pet saying "The future is just an accident waiting to happen"

My husband had an aunt who did that........and yes, they take it vewy vewy seriously......kind of like a religion.

I'm like Inspector Clouseou when it comes to most things "I believe nothing and I believe....everything." (You have to imagine the accent and the moustache)
