This morning my horoscope told me to suck it up, stop being so stubborn and self-sufficient, and ask for advice. Unfortunately, it didn't tell me who to ask. So that's not all that helpful.
That's true enough. The f-list is frighteningly wise about things. And also almost always willing to jump in with advice, which is handy for people like me who need a bit of assistance choosing an outfit in the morning, and so completely flail when faced with a real decision.
Sometimes, I ask Nos and then don't listen to anything she says, because I hate being told what to do.
*facepalm* Ah, yes. That's my SOP, too. Not necessarily with Nos, but...with well-meaning people in general. Sort of a case of "please tell me what to do, so that I can pout about how nobody understands me and then ignore you."
This tag gets a ridiculous amount of use. Mostly because I very rarely understand how I ended up in various awkward situations. I'm bad at interpersonal interactions. *shrugs*
You know, I don't think they could. Bonus points for implying that people were too stupid to figure this out without the horoscope. You'll get a kick out of this, I think:
You may be self-sufficient, but there comes a time in everyone's life in which they are compelled to ask for help of guidance. Yours is now.
I sort of want to frame it and hang it up at the office. Because wow, there's a lot loaded into those two sentences.
*sniggers* O RLY? My time is NOW, huh? So I can't even wait until tomorrow or anything? THANK YOU KINDLY HOROSCOPE - YOU SOMEHOW MANAGE TO BE SIMULTANEOUSLY EMPOWERING AND INFANTALIZING. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT. /0\
ETA: Which is to say that duh - anytime you need help, I am more than happy to offer it. Now I might not ACTUALLY have any advice to offer that will do any good, but I come bearing hugs, cookies, and promises to squee with you as soon as I get the first disk of BoB. *snugs*
(Thanks, sweetie. I just sent off the epic tl;dr email to end all emails to Nos, and depending slightly on how much she doesn't want to ever associate with me ever again, I very well might take you up on that. Also, if you're on IM later I want to ping you to check on something not entirely unrelated to this post.)
*bounces at the thought of you watching BoB* *seekritly plots to get you hooked on Life next*
