Men

Today I was thinking about how weird it is that the one guy I've been engaged too (and had a child with) and the guy I'm going to marry both go by their middle names. Isn't that weird?

I was also thinking about when I was pregnant and trying to think of baby names. David was involved in the process at first, but he wanted to name the baby after him, something that I feel is the ultimate and most unflattering form of narcissism. I obviously refused. Then he displayed a penchant for boring names, so I removed him from the naming process. After that I found that, being as how I was a single woman and all, every man on the face of the planet tried to talk me into naming my unborn child after him (assuming it was a boy of course). Isn't that weird? Seriously. They would spend hours creating extensive arguments as to why I should name my child after them. Juan, Nathan, and Wade were the worst, but not the only contenders by far. Nathan even claimed that I actually did name my baby after him. Nathan/Ethan. I tried to explain to these guys that if I spent lots of time with them (which I did) and then named the baby after them, everyone would think they were the father. They didn't seem to mind that. Men are weird.

Today I was screwing around at work, and I found a love compatibility horoscope, so I decided to check it out. I did it first for Cancer and Taurus (that's what Lawrence is) and here's what it said:

Love Compatibility of Cancer with Taurus
Cancer and Taurus are the ultimate domestic duo. You lovingly whip up breads, pies, cakes, cookies and muffins, and your Bull is all too happy to help you eat them. Taurus, also a good cook, will gladly return the favor anytime. You two are happy at home, but you can get so cozy with each other that you forget there's a whole world out there, full of friends and family who would like very much to spend some time with you. Taurus is more stable and grounded than you are, and can adjust to the ebb and flow of your emotional tides easier than most signs.

Then I decided to reverse it and see what advice it gives Taurus who want a cancer. Pun intended.

Love Compatibility of Taurus with Cancer
Cancer knows the way to your Taurus heart - through your stomach. This Crab will woo you with domesticity, and you'll be more than happy to be on the receiving end. You both strive for luxury and comfort in your surroundings, and together, you could create a living space that would be the envy of your friends and neighbors. Cancer needs security first and foremost, and luckily, that's your middle name. When you meet, you'll trust each other almost immediately. If you hit it off early in the relationship, it's a good sign you're headed for forever.

All in all, I'd say I like. Right on the mark. Especially the part about cancer's moodiness. SO I'M MOODY! SO WHAT?!? I don't believe in the zodiac and horoscopes, but they're fun to read, and when the tell me what I want to hear, more the better. so YAY!
