i know you are but what am i?

The nice thing about having a blog is that you can indulge your own sick obsessions and not only is it okay, it is to be expected. My blog.

I got this fabulous book for my birthday called The Secret Language of Birthdays. I'd borrowed it from my niece's mother and practically made out with it for a whole week and sadly had to give it back. Three years later I own my own copy! I am not afraid to admit that this is the best book I have ever owned. It is huge and lovely in your lap, not unlike that protective, heavy feeling of the x-ray apron at the dentist (is that just me? I'm totally comforted by that apron!) Anyway. As I consider myself very interested in all things astrological, this is basically my bible. There are dirty secrets about ALL OF YOU in here. Oh, and cross-referencing, for fuck's sake! Hea-vun. There's enough information where you couldn't possibly remember it all the first time, so I just keep looking you all up over and over and murmuring ohhh that is SO TRUE about her! I know you all are jealous and you want my book. Or at least now you're curious about what was true about YOU!

Why do I feel so taunty today? Must've been the sun. I had some good quality Frisbee and blanket-occupying in the park today. Wait, keep reading, there is information about YOU coming up!

In my birthday book, every day has a phrase associated with it, like "the day of precocity," and I believe this statement to be the author's best summation of the personality of people born on that day. I find these very entertaining. Also, you've been warned - this will not be the last time I bust out this book.

So find your birthday! Giggle at the appropriateness of everyone else's! Or be totally fucking confused because it doesn't make any sense. (If your birthday isn't on here you can leave it in the comments and I'll update this list. I'm sorry I don't have it memorized yet! Believe me when I say it's very, very important! If you want to ask about someone you know's birthday, that's cool too.) Oh, and if you think I'm making this shit up - that's blasphemous.
