I Scream, Part 2: The Second Scoop
I Scream!
When I take my kid to get ice-cream, her decision is very simple. She always wants the pink one. Later, she realizes that she doesn't actually like Strawberry or Cherry or Raspberry or whatever the pink flavor happened to be at the time. Once she's got the pink flavor de jour in her hand, she realizes what she really wants is my chocolate ice-cream but when we're looking at the flavors, she absolutely cannot be convinced that she would like the brown one over the pink one. Me, I typically have huge ice-cream dilemmas. Do I get Chocolate or Double Chocolate? Chocolate Fudge or Chocolate Chocolate Chip? The possibilities are typically endless, or at least never as simple as being limited to just one or two chocolately variations. So, just for giggles, I checked this flavor by sign article to see what kind of ice-cream I should order based on my horoscope. Now I know horoscopes are often unreliable and inaccurate but this was way off!
"You're so good about watching your weight, Libra, that we're unlikely to find you chowing down on chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. More likely, you'll savor a small dish of lemon sorbet or nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt ..."
HA! It's almost eerie how UNTRUE that is. I do try to watch my weight, yes, but a small dish of lemon sorbet over chocolate fudge brownie ice cream? Not bloody likely! However... if you've ever played Keno, you know it's almost as hard to pick NONE of the wining numbers as it is to pick all of them. So I thought I'd press my luck and look up my shoes by sign:
"You'd prefer a pair of slender mules with thin heels, or floral-print, lace-up, three-inch espadrille wedges"
It will be a cold day in hell when I wear floral-print lace up, three-inch espadrille wedges.
It's Hot Missy, who celebrates a birthday only a few days before me, yet falls into the Virgo realm, and happens to be wearing silver, three-inch espadrille sandals today, agrees the advice for her sign is also the complete opposite of what she likes (she was advised to stick to sling-back, pointy-toed patent leather flats) so it's not limited to just me I guess. How'd the stars do for you?
