Let me tell you about the moon. We have a tense relationship. When I was small, I thought that I was looking at a reflection of earth. I could see little countries, and I was sure that the sky was like a mirror reflecting our image. I loved it when the moon was big. It felt like some weird thing, and reminded me that outer space was not that far away.
Now the moon holds a whole other set of feelings. When its a sliver, I feel at ease. When it is full, I know that people will turn crazy. I know that the likelihood of getting yelled at goes up exponentially. I become aware that the need to have people escorted out by the armed guard will probably become a reality. I might be told that I have ruined Christmas, or just plain old destroyed someone's life. I will have messages from people that I haven't heard from since the last full moon. I look in the sky, and know that the mood will be tense, the people insane.
That moon has some power. I still think its magical, but in a much different way.

that is really funny, but in a weird, notsofunny way. i can tell what kind of day you've had . . . ??
Wow, I have never really realized what effect the full moon has on people. But, I guess you see it often. I wonder if it effects us all, but we just don't realize it. Next time its a full moon, I am gonna try to pay more attention...
Oh yeah, the full moon always makes crazy things happen ALWAYS! It is certainly not folklore and it is no surprise that I was in the hospital for 10 hours yesterday because of nearly passing out at work. I was diagnosed with something which means that my blood pressure drops drastically when ever I move too quickly. The hospital staff couldn't understand why there were SO many people there and I just kept saying that it was a full moon.
Did you see the moon just the other night? It was huge. It was RED! When it got higher, it turned orange. wiieeerrd!
