Who am I ?

[JDarvall]

Need some help I do..

My hippy sister-in-law came by for a day and ended up staying a week. :rolleyes: . She's nice enough, except she's right into Astrology. She genuinely believes that it explains everybody in full. Gets a bit tiring listening to it. I can fake a smile for only so long, before I have to make up some pretext to excuse myself from the room.

Anyway, over a cuppa, she was telling us that she absolutely loathed Capricorns. Hated them. That every capricorn she'd met was a complete wally....Lasted a good 15 minutes ....then a few moments later she casually asks me...

'So,,, Jake,,, what star sign are you ? ' ..With a big grin I said ' Capricorn, actually '.

That sent her backpeddalling at a million miles an hour.......' Oh, oh , right, well,,,,your definetly nice !....so, umm, you must be borderline Aquarius with a dash of Libra .. ....:confused: 'ah, right !!! that explains it' I said, nodding my head in agreement and scratching my #### at the same time.

Just quietly, I still don't really understand. Sort of hoping one of you guys would sort it out for me.

But I do now carry around this little bit of paper I cut out from the newspaper in my wallet...uno, as a quick reference for the odd occation I find myself in another Astrology conversation....I can just excuse myself to the bathroom, eyeball my notes, come back and pretend I know what there talking about. Good stuff.

So capricorns are ....
Hardworking ? - I don't know,,but I do know one thing. I loathe laziness.
Organised ? - I try to be, but have you seen my shed !! Maybe thats when the dash of Librarian comes into play. And I do like books !!!
Melancholic - Do like a good melody. Ballads mostly though. So, that could be right.

So, what star sign are you ? And does it seem to fit its description ?

[Zed]

My star sign is Uranus.

wrt your original question : "Who am I"....

A: you are the poor bastard thats paying the bills that aint allowed to upset the fruitloop or her sister (your wife) :D

[bennylaird]

Libra

Balanced, sort of can ride bikes but not skateboards???? Have not tried for years.
Intellectual, sort of, spent most of my life teaching electronics and reading etc. Would rather have been a hands on worker though.
Artisic, yeah like to express myself in many forms.
Procrastinator: Dead right, lots of plans that just don't follow through, story of my life.

[arose62]

Had a chuckle at the link from "Libra" to books:D

[Andy Mac]

Jake,
After careful consideration, I realise that I must have been born under all the stars, 'cos I reckon at least one of those words could describe me at any given moment!:D I'm with you on the skeptical side...

Aries=shy ...Yeah that's me!


Cheers,

[bitingmidge]

Fickle.

And don't any of you forget it.

Actually tripper, Dirk Gently's mate writes one of those column things, and spends his life writing secret messages in them to Dirk and others... they aren't real you know.

On the other hand, the most memorable horoscope I've ever read said (and I kid you not): "On Wednesday, you will become concerned when you find a toenail growing from your navel.

Cheers,

P
:D :D :D

[RufflyRustic]

Aquarias -

Individualistic - yep, I stand out in this crowd
Loyal - yep, never get between me and food, me and my wood, me and my tools, me and my family :D
Eccentric - Yep - I'm an computer nerd who doesnt' look like a nerd and stuns everyone with her passionate choice for a pasttime.

cheers

[womble]

isn't it true that the 'stars' are based on ancient astrology which is now worthless due to the fact that the Earth's axis has changed since then...which makes the current horoscopes more of a crock than what they already are??? :confused:

The only thing wrong with that statement is that it implies that astrology once had a some worth!!

[Tikki]

He whose surname I borrowed is a Scorpio ... him to a tee!!! :mad:

[oges]

It appears I need sharpening .. would I be best to use a wet stone for that? :rolleyes:

The other seem to fit me okay and yeah I can be blunt at times.

Glad I wasnt a Capricorn as I couldnt hand the hard working :D

[Iain]

We did a test on that at Uni, the descriptions can be moved around to any sign and no one will disagree with what is said about them, but when these cretins start to irritate me I refer them to my mate in America, he loves them too...

Don't hold out on us, Biting! When you found that toenail growing from your navel on Wednesday, were you concerned? Or could you not care less as you were expecting it by then??

:D;):D

[Robert WA]

The alternate list.

Needless to say, I think that astrology is a load of *******.

ARIES
You tend to be headstrong and deliberate in your actions. Basically you don't give a damn about anyone. Most people hate you but you couldn't care less. You're the type of person who would w**k at a wedding

TAURUS
Warm and caring are your most endearing characteristics. You get on well with most people because you're bisexual. You hardly ever wear underwear and you constantly smell of .

GEMINI
Your star sign denotes an air of duality in your character. Simply, you're a neurotic schizophrenic. A real weirdo, the type of person who'd kill them self to win a bet.

CANCER
You have a businesslike attitude to life and a knack for making money. You're an unscrupulous prat who would sell relative's limbs to buy a mobile phone. You are likely to be murdered.

LEO
The adventurous type, always looking for thrills and willing to try anything. In other words, stupid. You have the IQ of a garden snail and will never amount to anything. Most Leos are living on the welfare.

VIRGO
You like the good things in life and you know how to enjoy them. But you're prone to bull####ting and you're a cheap bastard. Virgo men are usually queers and the majority of Virgo women are whores.
LIBRA
You are the forgiving type and you don't bear grudges. This makes you an asshole. For your entire life people will make a complete prick out of you. Nobody will go to your funeral.

SCORPIO
You are sharp, a quick thinker and good at puzzles. However these are your only good traits. You abuse small animals and love picking your nose. You should become a stunt performer with no helmet.

SAGITTARIUS
You are the romantic mushy type, soft-hearted and a lover of the arts. You are likely to import Dutch pornography and sex toys. Males are even willing to rent Sleepless In Seattle to increase the odds for a romp in the sack.

CAPRICORN
You are deep and personal in your thoughts, the quiet type. A mean self-centered person and a closet homosexual. Your best friend is probably an altar boy.

AQUARIUS
You are the academic type and will probably end up working in the legal system. This means you are an absolute pervert, at the least a transvestite. Your ideal sexual partner is a Labrador puppy wearing fishnet tights.

PISCES
You are the eternal optimist, seeing the best of any situation. You have no grasp of reality and live in a dream world. Most people consider you to be the greatest living moron. You will continually fail. You're a prat.

[PuppyPaw]

Libra/virgo apparently on the cusp of some such.
its actually quiet accurate about me some how..
don't really believe in it my self but its funny watching those that do!

[graemet]

Libra

.
Don't you get thrown away after soaking up the bird poop in the cuppa?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

The alternate list.

Mebbe so... but there's those who would say the description for my sign suits me down to the ground.

In both lists.

:o
