We're back to normal. Posts about my afternoon snack.

This afternoon I went downstairs, where my mom was vacuuming, to eat something. For the most obvious reason.. I was just hungry. I started off with a lovely Chiquita (who I found out yesterday, also sell/produce pineapples) banana. (Stephanie, please don't let this be another trigger for you to tell me your great story about how you read in Elle Girl that guys find banana eating girls sexy.)

Usually I have turned on the T.V. by this time, and am eating my banana while watching some programme either on RTL4 (think Oprah/Dr.Phil), RTL5 (think King of Queens) or MTV (whatever is on). However, because my mom was busy vacuuming, I decided to grab the Veronica Magazine and read whatever bullshit they put in it this week.

There wasn't much. All I ended up reading was my Chinese horoscope - wtf, who does horoscopes? - and I found a rather interesting link.

So, because I haven't posted in quite some time and I have absolutely nothing else to write about, I decided to post my horoscope for this (Chinese) year. Btw, it's Chinese New Year today, so happy Chinese New Year I guess. It's the year of the pig, so I say that whenever the next time is I see you, we greet each other by saying 'Oink'. Or you could make an absolute fool of yourself by actually getting on all fours and pretending to be a pig. I'll tell any passersby that you've decided to represent the mentally insane for a day and then laugh hysterically at you.

Anyway, before I start drifting off again, here's my horoscope. Grey is the horoscope, black is my comment to it. And yes, I'm a sheep. Baaaah.

Sheep Overview
This could be a great year for you. Success is yours for the taking in any area you wish to pursue. The Pig is one of your two best friends, and gentle, yin Fire provides just the right amount of stimulus for you to pursue your interests with vigor.

Yeah baby. Or should I say Babe, seeing as "the Pig" is one of my two best friends. I'm guessing Nienke is the pig, Stephanie can be something else. But.. how'd they know I only have two best friends? Is it that obvious I'm such a loner?

Sheep Rating
73% (1 neutral and 11 favorable months)

Wtf. Am I going to have one sucky month? As in, sucky all the way through. In that case, I take back what I said about not committing suicide.

Sheep Career
Give your work your best effort. This could be the year when the promotion for which you have been looking is finally yours. The main thing, however, is that now is the time to make your mark. Let others, and yourself, see what you can really do. Now is the time to shine.

Promotion to what? To actually having a job? The time to shine where? Lame subjects like gym or important subjects like chemistry, or physics? Which reminds me, I still need to meditate.

Sheep Relationships
This is a most auspicious year for marriage. In doting on yourself, make sure you don't neglect your family. If you are at all vulnerable this year, it is because a friend or associate could let you down. The Pig is known for being overly trusting; if you don't watch your back at least a little bit, you could be deceived.

Who's going to be my groom? Jeez. I'd feel so Britney Spears if I were to get married this year. As for the Pig thing.. is Nienke going to stab my back? Kutkind!

Sheep Health
Should be smooth sailing here -- no major, new problems.

Good to know I won't die. Doesn't say anything about getting rid of old problems. Snap. My lungs do piss the hell out of me in the winter when it's super-duper windy.

Sheep Wealth
You're likely to spend a good deal of money this year, but it's for a good cause -- you! Enhance your wardrobe, consider buying a new car or plan an extravagant vacation. You can balance your checkbook next year. You've earned the right to enjoy the bounty of your labors.

I'm not that materialistic. Sure, I'm a good cause, but I don't feel the need to spend any more than I do now. But, uhm, what labors? Last time I still worked was back in November, and I don't see myself getting a new job soon.

Looks good I guess. Yay for year of the Pig.
Although.. who believes in horoscopes? If I were to believe mine, which I've only read in times of ultimate boredom; I'd have been through more break ups than the number of fashion disasters PS2 (only a few of you will know who I mean) has had; I would probably have been obese for a few months, then gone anorexic, and then went back to normal weight; I'd have been living the life of a rockstar one day and the next I'd be (back) on the streets and I would probably also have had a job again. What I'm saying is, I don't believe in horoscopes or predicting the future. I only believe in horoscopes when I'm bored and need something to trigger my unbelievably entertaining daydreams about my future. Horoscopes are like BlogThings, they suck [if anyone can help me finish off this magnificent simile, which would be honour for you - you'd be writing in my blog - I'm open to any and all suggestions :)].

Anyway, back to my eating-a-banana story. After my banana I had a chocolate chip cookie. And, I decided to abstain from hot chocolate. I don't know why, and I must say I slightly regret it now. I like my hot chocolate. I miss it.

Ma lord I sound either a) very feminine or b) very THIMUN Deputy Chairish: "I need chocolate."

[Just half re-read the post, noticed I'd also said something about a link. Here it is. Make sure you comment first, because this will open in the same window :)]

[Small request from the almighty Maxi-Taxi: please leave your comments here, as opposed to Facebook, for some reason the excitement I get from receiving an email from Blogger is so much more significant than the excitement I get from an email from Facebook. Sounds rather silly, I know, but it's true.]
