So, when did facebook get so accurate?

I finally broke down and added an application to my facebook profile--the daily horoscope one. I've never been super into horoscopes, but I thought I'd give it a try. This is my horoscope for today:

Today something you have worked hard for, or have been hoping to receive, may be realized or come to you, Virgo. Many of the astrological patterns of the day point to hidden things coming to the surface, or the discovery of something that was thought to be lost. This is all about your faith in your efforts, past, present and future. Avoid get-rich quick schemes; they may interfere with your process of attraction and manifestation. This is not a "your greatest treasure is love" omen either; it's about the tangible rewards of persistence and hope.

After reading this, I checked my email. I got an email about a job I interviewed for last year. This is a government job, with full benefits and a paycheck that's much larger than the one I'm currently receiving. It's not perfect, but it would be an improvement. This is my horoscope from yesterday:

You might be looking at friends through "rose-colored glasses" right now, Virgo, but that's all about to change. Today's all-day opportunity period is pushing you in a seriously analytical mood about others for a reason. Someone may be pressing you for some kind of agreement that may not be beneficial to you, but because of having an attitude of expecting things to fall into place, you may not recognize that a good contract does not mean a good deal. Look at others through the eye of truth today: relationships may change a bit, but for the better.

Today, a friend that I haven't talked to since high school sent me a message. We got to talking, and he seemed interested in me. I told him I was very selective and that I wasn't sure I was really what he was looking for, but he persisted. After quite a bit of witty banter, I learned that he just wanted a BG hookup (which, as my celibacy vow indicates, I am not down for). Once he found out the muffin shop was closed, he made a hasty exit.

Weird, huh? I'm not taking these things too seriously, but I just thought how funny how accurate they were. I'm not going to go nuts and start adding all kinds of applications, though. Facebook isn't that good.

Three Good Things:

• I'm currently planning my five-year high school reunion for this summer.
• I got a full night's sleep last night (even though I had to call into work).
• The snow is finally here!
  

25 Random Things...

1. I always say that I want to weigh 118 lbs. again (how much I weighed in high school), but I don't. Having boobs and backside makes me feel like a WOMAN.

2. My dream career would be one in which I make tons of money, boss people around, and wear cute suits and heels everyday. I'm thinking corporate America.

3. I often marvel at my ipod. That thing is magical indeed.

4. I've always wanted to be a professional ballet dancer, a film/Broadway actress, or a recording artist. Unfortunately, I'm not talented enough to do any of those things.

5. I wish I didn't believe in Prince Charming, because I'm afraid I'm not going to find him.

6. Taking a long walk on a beautiful day makes me very happy.

7. My mom means everything to me. I'd be completely lost without her.

8. I pretend like I'm in a music video whenever I listen to my favorite songs.

9. I think my purpose in life is to persuade people.

10. I'm so glad I was born a Black woman. Being a double minority makes all the successes I've had that much sweeter.

11. I'm double-jointed in one of my toes.

12. Living in the South is the closest to heaven I've ever been.

13. Shopping makes me happy. Shopping for other people makes me even happier.

14. I'm terrified about graduating from college. I'm scared I won't be able to make it on my own.

15. 'Sunny Came Home' by Shawn Colvin makes an appearance on the soundtrack of my life.

16. I plan on getting a pet turtle named Phillip in the immediate future.

17. I sometimes wonder if my thoughts are written in a thought bubble over my head and that everyone know exactly what's on my mind.

18. I try to make my bed every day. More often than not, it doesn't happen.

19. I get buyer's remorse all the time.

20. I try really hard to be nice, but people still see me as mean sometimes. I think it's because I'm so scared of getting taken advantage of that I subconsciously work hard to seem tough.

21. I cry every single time I watch one of those wedding or baby shows on TLC. I just get so happy for people.

22. Performing in front of people I know makes me really nervous. I feel like they're judging me.

23. I really admire people (Austin Ashford, Steph Patt, Bonny, etc.) who can write amazing poetry. I wish I could do it too.

24. At 21 years old, I still have no idea how to behave in the presence of men. They make me really flustered.

25. I remember awesome shows from my childhood and wish I could watch them now. Some of my favorites include 'The Torklesons', 'My Brother and Me', 'Hey Arnold!', 'Daria', 'The Lyricist Lounge Show', and 'Great Pretenders'.
