My horoscope guy is evil

Well blog, here’s what I have to say for today: the guy who writes my horoscope is a smug bastard.

Today you might need to practice more patience, Jack. You’ve been working hard to make your social life come together. Things might be improving only very slowly, and you could feel a little frustrated. Try to realize how far you have come in the past few months. If you have managed to make only one new friend, that is a true accomplishment! Or if you have gone out on some fun dates, this is great for the shy natives of your sign!

Thank you, Mr. Sunshine and Lollipops. Thank you very much for reminding me of all that is good and beautiful in life.

Of course, I’m not angry at the horoscope. I’m just kind of pissed that it is correct today. Why can’t it be correct on the days that promise make out parties or water slides or both? Why is it only ever accurate on the “life sucks but at least you don’t have cancer” days?

I am making some friends, being very approachable and friendly with co-workers and even making chit-chat with the girls that brew my coffee (not a euphemism). So rest assured, I have not shut all my blinds so I watch Star Trek re-runs and wear nothing but a pair of underpants and Cheetos crumbs. I’m participating in society! I am contributing to the local economy!

Underneath it all, I’m kind of frustrated. The old me would be depressed because I would see this as a sure sign that Nobody Loves Me. But the current me is just frustrated because I know deep down in my heart that Everybody Loves Me and they just don’t know it yet because they’re too busy daydreaming about how cheap the tube socks are at Wal-Mart. But I will educate these morons; one by one if I have to.

    I can’t believe you have personalised horoscope.

    Lol, they just substitute my first name into the slab of text. I got one once that was addressed to #NAME.

    Welcome to Seattle! It’s the place where everyone’s young and hip and having a blast–while you sit alone finishing your latte wondering how people meet each other these days (the “you” being the general “you”;). It’s the catch-22 of modern day life, I suppose. What part of Seattle are you in? :)

    Hah, that’s a great welcome, Courtney. I just feel so loved.

    I’m in the International District. Weird place to live, I know, but it was the nicest and best-priced apartment I could find on short notice. Maybe when my lease is up, I will move to a hipper neighborhood and sip lattes there instead.
