Self-indulgence and Picscean backslapping

A- it's my birthday and I'm blatantly trolling for lurve. Though a friend who went to Australia a couple of weeks ago managed to get a card to me early. Now *that's* love.

B-pisceans rock, do they not? Are you anything like your star sign? Do you think it's all a load of mumbo jumbo?

Ariadne

10:15 / 25.02.02

Mumbo jumbo, I'm afraid. I can find lots to recognise in the Piscean personality traits, but then I can do the same with any of the others too.
Yep, I'm a dreamy and dopey Piscean sometimes, but I can be a stubborn Taurean, a fiery Aries, a well-balanced Libran - any of them, depending on the day and mood.

Edited to say: Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day.

happy birthday, plums!

i had an astrologer friend do my birthchart a few years back, and it was very accurate. astrology has been rather demeaned by tabloid astrologers, i think.

[funny astrology story: a live doors album. jim morrison starts asking the crowd if they're into astrology. a woman close to the mic says 'yeeeaah!'. jim says, 'cos, well, i'm a scorpio'. the woman goes, 'meee toooooo!'. then jim says 'well, actually i don't believe in any of that bullshit' and the woman yells '....me neither!']

Very many very happy returns of the day, Plums - hope you have an F. A. B. time.

Astrolology - not really my bag, but I do come out more Libran than anything else - hopelessly indecisive, basically. I prefer to think it is a load of mumbo-jumbo.

A friend of mine has a theory that birthdates are more revealing because they show the approx. time of conception, and thus tell you about what your parents are like (based on when they were having sex, I suppose). Which is really just as likely...

Haus about we all give each other a big lovely huggle?

10:24 / 25.02.02

Happy Birthday, Plum creature.

Huggles!

Extra birthday Huggles!

I need to learn the internet equivalent of giving haus a good thwack with a rolled up newspaper. bring it on!

happy birthday, plums!

the only stock I put into star signs is that my signs personality profile (or whatever the fuck you call it) is strangely close to my personality. hot tempered and horny. wait, thats half the people I know. nevermind

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS PLUMSILICIOUS THING!!!!

No WONDER we get on so well... I love the Pisces. As I have said, Pisces women always seem to be insane, but in absolutely THE best way. And that would certainly fit you, miss delicious.

Am I like my star sign? Je pense que oui. Certainly my favorite color is red, I am loud and impulsive, I don't care about shoes but I love a good haircut and a fun hat, attention-hound, always the last to leave the party, etc. - sometimes stereotypical Aries.

But I believe it is my Gemini moon that makes such a chatty cathy, and my Libra rising sign that allows that to be almost charming at times.

I don't know how much stock I put into astrology. I know a LOT about it, but I guess I look at it as a weather report. These are kind of the conditions you have but do with them what you will...

Star signs- load of wank, but I am definetely a gemini- go figure.

Talking of Star signs- this month's sign is dromedares in ancient Arabic astrology- fitting really ...

The Natural Way

10:36 / 25.02.02

Happy Bday. Lovely to see you t'other week (even if I was a bit of a tired mess).

Any drinking planned for this weekend?

Star signs are definitely not wank, because I'm a Scorpio and they're cool and have sex all the time in dark, mysterious ways - just like me.

Uh huh.

That's right.

No, and I'm well up for paying for someone to do my chart.... Anyone?

And back to that drinks thing.... (sorry, I really need to go and get fucked. Weekend past spent at home smoking boring weed).

Going for food/drinking to the Nile House in preston street tonight.... and then onto Klang possibly, wanna come?

Happy fishy birthday, Plums!

Horroscopes are obviously bollocks, but I think some scientist types recently claimed that the temperature and weather conditions you experience in the first few weeks of birth can affect your subsequent personality, so seasonal variations might explain the business with star signs and character traits. But then that must mean that a Pisces born in the northern hemisphere would exhibit diff. traits to one born in the southern hemisphere, wouldn't it?

I am a horrible sucker for astrology-related gubbins - certainly I seem to be a very typical Aries, and all the Scorpios I've known have been typically Scorpy, too...

another aries, here: i think that there is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of by the Western tradition of rational thought.
I find the i'ching to be more useful, insightful than astrology, but then i know many people who have had full-blown charts doen by a brilliant woman nearby and it has been a wonderful experience. Scientific? no, probably not. But I don't worship at the temple of science. it's useful, but it is a mode of human perception, which has limits.

happy b-day to lick me plums..., ariadne, and rothkoid, wherever you all are...

alas

go to astroadvice.com or astrodienst.com and have a ball - if you know the time you were born, you can get your chart done at either one for free.

Not into the whole astrology thang meself...not knocking it either, just not into it. I know someone who has most of his planets in Scorpio - he's very pleasant and good-natured, but the person who did his chart looked at him like he was the devil incarnate after she worked that out... (quite cool to have the birth chart of the devil incarnate though, I reckon).

Picies rock. Take it from one who if not kept busy, will quickly withdraw into a video game or book for weeks and forget to leave the couch or bathe. I got my chart done once. I have NO earth signs. You learn to work around these sorts of things. I think I'm saved from utter lack of interest in the real world by my Chinese sign, Tiger.

Happy Birthday gorgeous. You're now probably either staying up extremely late to tide over the birthday, or sleeping the fun off... Hope it was fun and sorry I am tardy. And happy birthday to Rothkoid and Ariadne too (Barbebirthdays always come in clumps, don't they? It's lovely.)

I like Pisceans, by the way, like 'em a lot. Although I have always found that Pisces chicks are in fact a lot saner than the rest of em. Although it might make them seem kinda crazy, they're not.

Me, I am a Virgo. Some things fit and others don't. Ie I am a perfectionist and ever-so slightly anal retentive about various things. Then again I have a totally messy room about 50% of the time and the whole virginal thing really doesn't cut it with me. I am unconvinced by weekly magazines but somehow can never resist picking them up in newsagents and squzzing what my weeks's supposed to be like.

Many happy returns of your day, plums!

"pisceans rock, do they not?"
Sure do; all the ones I know do, anyway.

Myself a member of the airy, multi-faceted Gemini clan, I'm really very sceptical about astrology, but I do think it fun. And it does seem that I get on particularly well with Librans, Sagittarians, Pisceans and Virgos. A colleague who (surprisingly) is into it in a big way insisted on doing my chart and explained what she had thought one or two atypical Gemini characteristics in terms of my having moon in Aquarius and Capricorn rising.
