funny little truths

i just bought a great book, born on a rotten day. it's so funny. i wanted to share a bit about myself, according to the author, Hazel Dixon-Cooper. she's freakily on target for me. this will be funniest for those who know me best, possibly boring for the rest of you. sorry:

the section on virgos is titled "everlasting know-it-alls need love, too"

favorite pastime: worrying (5 minutes late, and i think you're dead)

dream job: closet organizer (it's not funny, i seriously thought bout doing this)

body part: nervous system. you can always spot a virgo by their raw, bleeding fingernails.

virgos:
there isn't an idea you can't improve upon, or a person you can't whip in to shape. You are very intelligent, but can't make any practical use ofyour knowledge, so you end up spouting platitudes and pumping gas.
yours is the sign of the scribe, prosecuting atttorneey, mimic, despot, and anything with critic in the title.

Virgo women:
Tell this woman you will arrive at eight, and you had better be on time, or five minutes early. One minute late is inexcusable.

and a moment about my childhood:
your virgo baby will learn to tie her shoes, dress herself, and have a vocabulary to rival yours by the time she's three. her biggest desire is to help you clean house.
virgo kids smile a lot, even when they stoutly refuse to do what you are yelling at them to do.

quick tips for emergencies:
virgins need routine.
keep them calm with nutritious food and a back rub.
talking about frustration help prevent petulant criticism.
planning is key to getting your way
gaslight them by rearranging their sock drawer. THIS IS SO TRUE! nothing pisses me off more than someone changing a system i had set that was functioning perfectly. gah, i'm gonna turn into my mother. there was also a note in there about correcting everyone's grammar and spelling which i can't find right now. sheesh.
