31. März 1900

Jane Mary Todd

die abgebrühte New Yorker Polizeifotografin, die sich im zweiten Weltkrieg zur Geheimagentin mausert, wird an diesem Tag geboren.

30 März 1894

The Honourable Ronald Adair

wird ermordet, ohne daß die Polizei feststellen kann, auf welche Weise, geschweige denn von wem. Für Dr. Watson bedeutet der tragische Todesfall letztendlich großes Glück, denn sein totgeglaubter Freund Sherlock Holmes kehrt zurück, um den Fall aufzuklären.

27. März 1829

Laura Fairly, die spätere Lady Glyde

wird an diesem Tag geboren. Bis lange nach ihrer Heirat mit Sir Percival Glyde ahnt sie nichts davon, daß sie eine Halbschwester hat, die ihr wie ein Zwilling ähnelt.

(Wilkie Collins, "The Woman in White", 1860)

Ich sollte wirklich mal ein extra topic dafür einrichten ... Auf diesen Test stieß ich in Homocarnulas Blog und konnte nicht widerstehen. Mein Ergebnis ist zwar nicht meine Lieblingskarte in der kleinen Arkana, aber trotzdem nicht schlecht.

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

Und hier Alex Fletchers gesammelte Sprüche:

Alex: [singing] Sleeping with a clown above my bed...
Alex: [spoken] "Clown" is not right
Sophie: That's "cloud." Why would you put a clown in your bed?
Alex: It would not be the first time.

Alex: People wait their whole lives to see an ex when things are going really good. It NEVER happens. You could make relationship history!

Alex: Way Back Into Love, take one.
Sophie: I-uh-I'm getting really nervous.
Alex: You'll be fine, just use your normal, nice voice that I've heard... so much over the last three days.
Sophie: It's like, ugh, my throat's closing up. It's, like, anaphylactic.
Alex: It's fine, it's just a three minute song.

Alex: "Just a little bit louder, because this song IS intended for humans, okay?"

Alex: "No-one ever grows up in Florida.... unless you're an orange"

Sophie: "That's wonderfully sensitive from a man who wears such tight pants."
Alex: "It forces all the blood to my heart."

Alex: "I once tried to rhyme you and me with autopsy"

Alex: "I just explained how it ruined the purity of the style and when that didn't work, I told her it would help me get you back. Even though she believes that the Dalai Llama is, incredibly, a LAMA, it seems that she is also a true romantic."
