Scorpio, Scorpion, Scorpius

As all of you probably know I was born on the 29th of October and that makes me a solid Scorpio, which in my opinion is the best zodiac of all of them. Because of this whenever I can I collect information on my zodiac, so when my RA posted the 12 zodiacs on the bulletin board closest to my room I was of course immediately drawn to my print out and read it. When the ungrateful morons on our floor started ripping them down I sneakily pulled off Scorpio and absconded away with it to my room. Here is what it says:

Scorpio (*grins* That's me!!!)

Scorpios are blessed with sharp minds, sharper instincts and still sharper tongues (I think most of my friends would agree at least with the sharp tongue bit, I tend to be very mean). They are determined and direct, and very careful about who they let get close to them (I think this reflects the fact that I make a very good acquaintance, I have a lot of people I am friendly with but I only have a few friends). Scorpios are in awe of their own powers and desires and hate to be criticized for them (Just ask my sister about how I get about her editing my papers, it is ugly for both of us).

Home: Scorpios are very particular about their homes and cannot tolerate an abrasive abode (I think this is demonstrated by how picky I am about my bed which is usually the focal point of my dorm. At home it usually has two down comforters, dozens of blankets and my quilt! One must be comfortable!)

Clothes: Scorpios know how to dress to kill, but they like to wear outfits with a subtle dramatic effect (I was a goth in high school...I like knee high dominatrix boots, my mother considers me her fashion consultant, I think it fits!)

Food: Scorpios like food with sharp, distinct flavor. They tend to prefer savory dishes to sweet. (I think this is so? *shrugs*)

Money: Scorpios have a talent for making money and a certain skill for spending it as well (Hee hee hee! I LOVE SHOPPING.....when I'm in the mood)

Jobs: Aircraft designer (nope), dentist (HELL NO), environmentalist (no no no), healer (umm....*wiggles fingers* I HAVE MAGICAL HEALING POWERS- not), lumberjack (WHAT!?!?), psychiatrist (ok, maybe we're getting somewhere now), satirist (that's more up my sister's lane), sex therapist (my roommate completely agrees with this one, she's been telling me this since sophomore year), spy (OOOOO!!! I LIKE THIS ONE), surgeon (*vomits*), tanner (dead animal skins? No thank you).

Love: It takes a long time for scorpios to put their trust in somebody, but it becomes an unshakable loyalty (^//^ I'm waiting for my love....)

Compatible signs: Capricorn, Pisces, Cancer, Virgo
