When we were in Jr. high, my girlfriend Gigi Ballif and I were into astrology. We bought those little horoscope books at the Woolworth's because we were fourteen and into self-discovery. And also we were bored.
Anyhoodle! I LOVED LOVED LOVED that I was an Aries because I just thought Aires people were uber attractive--all dynamic and and FIERY and full of passion not unlike those heroines in the historical romances I was reading. I had visions of myself being all uppity with the brooding Lord of the Manor who secretly dug my spunk and so forth because don't you know I was an Aries! And that's how Aries women are. Uppity. All "dude if you get in my grill I'm gonna get in yours."
Also, I felt kinda sorry for Gigi because she was a Pisces and who wants to be a fish anyway? Furthermore, who wants to date a fish? Certainly not the Lord of the Manor. I never said this to Gigi, though, because she couldn't help that her birthday was March 4 and why mention something you can't change?
EXCEPT APPARENTLY YOU CAN CHANGE IT. I just learned that they've added a thirteenth sign to the Zodiac, which means things have gotten shifted around a big, which means I am NOW A FISH. A fish, people.
The foundations of my world have been rocked. Rocked, I tell you.
Yes, it's the news of the morning. I have become a Leo instead of a virgo. it may be a better fit, actually.
ReplyDeleteYou're no fish.
What the mild expletive? I'm not a capricorn anymore, I'm a sagittarius. This is oddly unnerving. Especially since I didn't know Gigi in junior high so I wasn't into astrological signs. But still. Come on!!
ReplyDeleteAnd no way you're a fish! You are way too uppity for that.
I like Louise think my new sign might be a better fit. It is a little unnerving though. I mean, how long has this been in the works?
ReplyDeleteWell I'm an ARIES now!
ReplyDeleteI just read, however, and in contradistinction to this news, that perhaps this doesn't apply to the west? In any case, if it *does* apply to the west, I am also, like Louise, now a Leo. And that's just fine, probably, because I always thought everything they said about the Virgo seemed all wrong. Although I have no idea bout the Leo horoscopes because I never ever checked. And now I am in a tizzy. An astrological tizzy. Has the world gone mad?
ReplyDeleteWell, I was a Cancer, and who wants that name? It's like a bad omen. So this is terrific news for me!
ReplyDeleteps: the verification word is vormated, like vomited but British.
It seems I must leave my Aries past behind. I am now a fish. Bleh.
