► Your creative powers are peaking today, so make sure that you're dealing with old problems in new ways. It's a really good time for you to brainstorm with your colleagues or family members. Here we go with the extra energy thing -- as if you ever needed any 'extra' energy. You'll be running on high, so it's really only fair to let everyone around you know they might be in danger -- but only if they decide to disagree with you. Or argue with you about the outcome of a certain situation. Or get between you and a project you're determined to finish. Other than that, you're not dangerous at all.

■ Hillary Clinton says she's 'thinking' about 2016 White House run

Clinton is just like my neighbor who likes to gossip. I know what she wants but I do not want to offend her. I just act as if she is an important person for me, by responding to a boring conversation every morning. And the most annoying is, she's gossiping as well asking me to serve tea or coffee for her and she's so excited to spend my favorite snacks, a jar, ouch ... imagine how annoying she is. And every time she goes back to her place, still I feel she can not stay at her place. She will wander on, eyeing my next tasty snack. Blah!

Mmmm ... Do you know one thing? Sometimes I am so ashamed to show my ambition, especially in my sexual ambition, ...wow! Oh yes, I always felt he would laugh out loud with the reason I took off my bra, for example. He would shoot me with one quick and high power despicable question, "Want me to make you orgasm?" (Why do you feel great because you feel has made me orgasm? Do not you think that I can achieve sexual orgasm because I allow myself to it. It's my body, damn you! My body is not yours, but mine, understand? If we are not cooperative then I can make you look like a clown, not a great sexual performer. So, be careful with my heart.)

To avoid me in getting sexual intercourse is just a showcase for the imposition of one's self-image, so I never put myself become "too easy to be guessed". But I'm definitely going to look for ways to make him more eager to find me, no matter how much I want him than he wants me at any given time.

Well, I'm not sure of the relevance of this story to what is desirable by Hillary Clinton, but at least she should have a bit of "prestige" in targeting the U.S. presidency. You are a lady, are not you? So, do not be "so greedy as men".
