What the Hell Is This?

One of my horoscopes for today:

You might change your mind about your romantic type. If you are usually attracted to a specific kind of person, you could discover that your desires are changing. For instance, if you have only dated blondes in the past, you might develop an interest in dating brunettes. Or if you usually spend time with people who are shorter than you are, you could become attracted to someone more statuesque.

Why not just send me an e-mail saying, "YOU ARE A SUPERFICIAL BASTARD"? Jesus.

That's why I don't read 'em in the first place.
Linked ya back by the way.

Yeah, it's all good fun, though. To be fair, the horoscope is actually kinda right, though not this day precisely; my tastes have been changing and evolving for the past 5 years or so. I've found a surprising amount of truth in astrology, and it's usually a reliable conversation starter; either someone is into it and you can chat or they're not and you can chat about why.

What sign were you again (or do you know/care)? If I had to guess, I'd say Virgo (late Aug-late Sep); if not sun, then other influences...

will this make you feel better then?

"YOU ARE A SUPERFICIAL BASTARD"

just kidding.

the encounters i've had with fortune telling and horoscopes. my mother is superstitious. both times she took me to a fortune teller, i got lengthy fortunes told. neither of them are coming true, and it's been, what, years? of course, both of them were chinese fortune tellers, and one of them actually predicts how long i'll live.

morbid.

Actually, yes. Call a spade a spade, right? I'd rather be self-aware and brutally honest with myself than living in a state of denial and wondering why everyone hated me.

My mom's pretty superstitious too; I've actually noticed a correlation between her age and the level of superstition she displays. I suppose the same goes for me; I wasn't really into astrology until about 3-4 years ago.

And a Virgo-Tiger, eh? Interesting...

yep, virgo tiger.

what does that make me? i have no idea.

and how late is sleeping in? obviously, you don't really take "sleeping in" to heart! (well, for me, sleeping in IS about 8:30-10, so i shouldn't be talking!)

Virgos (Virgoes?) tend to be analytical and intelligent; secretive and extremely self-critical. The symbol is (as I'm sure you're aware) the Virgin, not necessarily in the sexual sense but in the mental sense, I think; an aesthete who is attracted to purity of thought and action. There's also a lot more to personality interpretation than just your sun sign (moon sign, rising sign, placement of other planets), but that's nothing I need to get into here. Honestly, I don't know all that much because I don't know any Virgo women (until now), and I don't tend to read up on signs unless I'm getting to know someone (or if it's about me). Consequently I know a ton about Scorpio women because there's a couple I'm pretty close to.

As for Tiger...yeah, I know even less about the Chinese zodiac (again, aside from my own personal stuff). Monkeys are the best, that's all I know :D

Hey, I was actually kinda close - Virgo is the sign before Libra. Go me!
