your reputation's so golden

NEXUS.

Best birthday you've ever had? What did you do? Who were you with? Tell me things.

If you don't feel like answering that: do you know anything about astrology? Do you know your own zodiac sign(s) and think they're accurate, or at least that there's some truth to the practice of astrology? What did your horoscope say this morning?

STELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm not even sorry. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Somebody told me I was an Aries!

[neverpromised]

asldkfjsd; WELL AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T DO IT OUT LOUD

Thank you! It's a boring year, tragically, but that is okay.

I can see this. I'm a Leo! Also technically my birthday is not for a few hours but I am preparing. And I just got off work and I was bored, it was deeply tragic.

[willrevile]

I COULD CALL YOU.

Man I have known you for like a month, if this is boring I don't want to know what your interesting years are like.

What's a Leo supposed to be? I don't even know about Aries. ffff, boredom sucks.

[neverpromised]

YOU COULD, IT'S TRUE.

Full of wonders, Jim. Full of wonders. But no, I mean it's not, like, a landmark birthday.

Leo is ... loud, I'm pretty sure. Aries are all ~daredevils~, supposedly.

I'm a Leo. Da says I came out showing my arse and I still am, so I guess it fits? I don't know.

BEST birthday? Maybe my fifth. I got my Fruitloop then. Best dog ever.

[neverpromised]

Leos ftw. We are the kings of the zodiac.

That is an excellent name for a dog, what kind is it?

[liam_did_it]

Loopy is a spaniel mix of some sort. She's awesome in her ginger curliness.

[neverpromised]

But what is her zodiac sign?

[wickedkinesis]

Some co-workers gave me a cake. I was not surprised, but the fact that they had apparently forgotten that I could not be surprised was entertaining. I remember it fondly.

I am Scorpio and I believe I fit the profile, but have not checked my horoscope in quite a long time because it is unnecessary. If you really want to know, I could check it now.

Is it your birthday?

[neverpromised]

Was it a good cake?

Sure! I think it's interesting what the astrologists come up with - I mean, do they just make things up? Someone told me they phrase everything really vaguely so that it could apply to almost anyone.

It will be on the second, so in like four and a half hours.

[wickedkinesis]

I believe so. They enjoyed it.

Most of them do. For instance: "It's hard to find enough hours in the day to accomplish all that needs to be done. So use your time properly and profitably. You can do something to make a world of difference to a difficult situation." That was mine for Friday. It could apply to anyone, on any day, and in any case I was not feeling rushed or overwhelmed this week. Horoscopes are largely nonsense - very few true adepts would write them, I think, as there are more profitable ways to use such talents - but many people find them entertaining even if they are aware of this.

Happy birthday, then.

[neverpromised]

It sounds very...uh, Oprah, that horoscope. But yeah, makes sense; most of the psychics I know of don't even bother with the numerology or anything involved - their talents don't really work that way, to begin with, so.

Thank you!

[spiriteddefense]

All of them! Can I pick all of them? That's my answer.

I'm a Sagittarius, and I think it's not the worst! I am pretty determined. And I don't know, but I think it's not a bad way to learn about things. I don't know what mine said today but last week it said there was peril in my future so I stayed inside and locked the doors and watched movies from under the covers all day.

[neverpromised]

You totally can. Sounds like some kickass birthdays.

Sagittarius is one of the more free-spirited signs, to boot. So peril was neatly avoided, but, um... what if it meant later on?

[spiriteddefense]

I got a laser gun for one of them, that was pretty awesome.

I'm definitely a free spirit, too! ...Though Nick says I'm not a cheap one.

You don't think it did, did you? I mean, that was kinda fun, but I'm an important member of a well-respected law firm! Innocent people are counting me on to defend them. I can't just never go out.

[neverpromised]

Holy. Get a lot of use out of that one?

Well, the best spirits are probably not cheap ones, so tell him that.

I think probably in this case you can just ignore the horoscope. I imagine if the peril were real it'd come find you wherever you are.

[discardedheir]

Either my ninth birthday or my most recent, the twenty-seventh. The former I spent with my childhood guardian, who was finally home after a long way away. I had just recovered from some...unfortunate health experiences. We had dinner. This does not really sufficiently convey how good a day it was. The latter I spent with my beloved, her son, my brother and a friend. The five of us went to the park. ...Again, the experience does not seem sufficiently expressed in writing.

Some aspects of the 'Libra' designation apply to me, some do not. Mysticism, in my world at least, takes a lot more study than is generally undertaken by most 'astrologers'.

[neverpromised]

Well, sometimes it's more about the people you're with, anyway!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure newspapers just pick the newbie at random and make them write the horoscopes instead of real journalism.

[discardedheir]

Exactly.

Yes, that seems quite likely.

Is it your birthday? Congratulations if so.

[neverpromised]

If I were that person I would be tempted to put in really random shit and see what got past. Personally.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm 20 in...well, a few hours, technically, it's only 8 in Hawaii.
