I adore [livejournal.com profile] caltan. Rarely fails to make me laugh out loud (particularly over her user log reports) - but another journal is [livejournal.com profile] elorie's - who, I really feel sells herself short on a regular basis. At times, she's absolutely brilliant.

Like today -

Reasons Why You Should Never Date...(Or, My Own Version of Darkside Astrology)

Now. You have to understand how this mind worked. I read the list. It wasn't hard to match some people up with their signs.

Shall I go on? Actually, it verges on picking on my friends and family. So I'll put it behind a cut.




..an Aries. Empathy, what empathy? Huh? Why did that hurt your feelings?
That would be Jim. Except that once he discovers he's slammed the door in your face when he wasn't thinking, he's heartbroken. Big puppy-dog eyes heartbroken. And then he spills soda on you.

..a Taurus. It's their stuff. It will always be their stuff. You can be married ten years and they will be able to tell you which books and CDs are yours and which ones are theirs. They might, however, forget your birthday. That's my Mom all over. She doesn't forget my birthday though - though she didn't speak to me for two weeks after I eloped. (I took 'her' wedding away from her, y'understand.) I can well imagine how long she would have sulked if I had tried to do a traditional one - she wouldn't have gotten anything close to what she wanted - in every case, she never has. What would that be? Your guess is as good as mine. It's just not what she wanted. Whatever it is.

..a Gemini. You will never get a word in edgewise again. Thank God I haven't know many of these. They'd be dead and I'd be in prison.

..a Cancer. Moods that rival Scorpio's, but less sexy. Worrywarts. *DIES LAUGHING* I'm surrounded by these. Elder brother is one of them, [livejournal.com profile] silverkun is another. Uh, [livejournal.com profile] silverkun IS more sexy than me. Trust me on this. (And I'm the Scorpio.)

..a Leo. It's the movie of their life, and you are in the supporting role. They can be gracious as long as you acknowledge this eternal truth. Elder brother's bitch wife. Say no more?

..a Virgo. Obsessive compulsion is not a replacement for a personality. Scott Bakula.

..a Libra. As long as you don't really care if they never, ever, ever make up their minds about anything, you should be fine. Unless the way they also flit from one lover to the next bothers you... That's Sis. She makes up her mind, just fine. You just can't be sure what she's made up her mind about, and how from one day to the next.

..a Scorpio. They sulk, hold grudges, and are vindictive. The sign most likely to become a stalker. But, sexy. Uh, that's me. Come over here so I can fucking kill you over something that happened ten years ago. C'mon. OOoh, sexay. *rolls eyes*

..a Sagittarius. They're iconoclasts, see? Silly mundane rules were not meant for such as they. They're rebels. This means they will never, ever show up on time for a date. [livejournal.com profile] varna, aren't you under this sign? So's my mother's sister - who just won't admit there's something wrong with being on a diet and subscribing to foodie magazines at the same time. Oh, and being over 300 lbs. too. Passive-aggressive to the nines, that one.

..a Capricorn. There are ways that Things Are Done, and ways that they are Not Done. And the Capricorn knows what they are. And woe betide you if you don't. Tardiness drives them insane. However, they do not have the Virgo's saving grace of neatness. That's younger brother. To a tee. Remember that week I spent in the same house with him last January. I'm still plotting his demise. Just you wait. Sexay!

Sagittarius and Capricorn are the Zodiac's "Marriage Made in Hell"

..an Aquarius. Deep down, they think of you as an experiment. Cliff. YUP. Never had any doubt of it.

..a Pisces. Because they are batshit crazy. Ah. That would be Celeste.

In other geekery, if you just upgraded your Firefox, this is the cutest theme going - so far. Kitties! See:



You know, you do this long enough and people REALLY get tired of you.

Checked the update website for Anime-Expo, and lo and behold - the voucher system rules aren't included in the revamp. Called the office - confirmed. They're considering dropping it. I assured the nice lady who answered the phone (Katie? Nice lady.) that no, it wasn't frustrating - it was unfair.

I'll consider going this year if that policy is dropped. If you need your memory refreshed, I had some issues with the passes for hotel stay policy the convention has had in the past.

If you would care to, you can do the same. Go ahead. The email comment widget isn't working right now - but there is a phone number. They even tell you when it's manned.

Hmm. The Ani-Matsuri sounds interesting. Wonder if the Japanese-American museum would be interested in setting up a booth. I'd help man it in a hot second.

Libras should be sleeping around?

Dammit, I never got the memo!

I balanced risk vs. reward too carefully to have been promiscuous.

Now THAT's a Libra :D

So it would have to be logical promiscuity?

It's not easy being Libra.

That's brilliant. Some of those fit people I know to a TEE. Thank you so much for sharing it, it gave me a good round of giggles.

And speaking of Firefox, I love how when a page is loading, the kitty plays with a ball of yarn. I had that as my theme for a while. I should reset it.

I'm a Pisces. I am not batshit crazy. Merely a bit touched in the head.

Care to get a second opinion on that? *winks*

No clue here...

..a Sagittarius...I guess you can add me to that bunch. As for Scorpio, that was my ex-wife, and why she is my ex-wife. Take a Sagittarius and add ADHD and you got me...
