Alcohoroscope

Your Scorpio Drinking Style

If anyone tells you you've had enough, you'll smirk and keep tippling until you're hog whimpering drunk, out of 100-proof spite.

You like to drink, and screw anyone who has a problem with that.

You see the sauce as something to savor in itself... and not as a personality-altering tool.

If you're depressed, you get self-loathing and seek total obliteration.

But generally, you're a fascinating drinking pal, brilliant conversationalist and dizzying flirt.

You also remember everything -- especially what everyone did when they were blitzed.

Only people you *like* should drink with you!

Your Signature Cocktails
Just as you can look someone in the eye and smile while secretly plotting their demise, so does the brandy-laced Scorpion Stinger's sweet taste hide a potent amount of alcohol. But you abhor tropical drinks, and you will turn up your nose if you're served a Scorpion. You rule watermelon, so breaking out a pitcher of watermelon margaritas will seduce you -- though red wine will do the trick just as well.
Your Celebrity Drinking Buddies
Hillary Clinton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, Demi Moore, Jenny McCarthy, Tara Reid, P. Diddy, and Owen Wilson.


OK, this is wrong on so many levels....but I'll just address a couple of them: only the italicized bit at the top is close to correct; I hate watermelon and anything watermelon-flavored; red wine gives me a headache; I'd never drink with Jenny McCarthy or P. Diddy....

Otherwise, yeah, right on.

Sunday Brunch (a day late)

1) Are you an organized person?
Well, depends. Overall, yes. But I have to reach a certain level of "disasterness" before the organizational gene kicks in. Mostly I'm lazy, and busy, which translates into "drop it somewhere and deal with it later" and that is NOT organizational!

2) What is one thing about your home that has to be just so or it drives you crazy when it comes to organization?
I'm reading this question as "What do I find myself doing every day, regardless of what else gets done, to feel like I've made some control in the tidiness department?"
Dishes in the dishwasher
Kitchen island cleared off
Kitchen table cleared off
Couch blankets folded
Bathroom counter cleared off
The Beast has--finally, after 19 years!--trained me to close all the drawers and cupboard doors when I'm done. That helps, too.

3) Do you have one little nuance about your organization that most people consider to be a little over the top? What is it?
The only thing I can think of is that before we go out of town, I like to get the house CLEAN. As in, "what if we die while we're gone" clean. Of course, what this does is add a whole layer of neurosis to the whole run-up to a departure when usually that's pretty stressed anyway. I actually had a mini-nervous breakdown about 5 years ago the night before we left on a trip as I was vacuuming, cleaning the spare room (a 3-full-day project in itself), dusting the entire house, and packing all at the same time. The Beast had to physically stop me--hands on shoulders, a little shake--because I was crying and screaming and out of control: "WHY does the house have to be clean???" When I told him, he just looked at me as if I'd grown an extra head and it had spoken Martian.

I'm less freaky now about trips. Slightly.

4) What is your favorite organizational tool? (bins, closet organizers, etcetera)
I love bins. I love them. I have too many, and I don't actually use them, but I love them. Those little plastic stackable drawers, about 8 inches tall? LOVE. THEM.

I'm actually afraid to go to The Container Store because I know I'd spend entirely too much money on stuff. It's good there isn't one anywhere nearby here.

5) Where is your favorite place to buy organizational needs?
See above, but I also like Ikea. And I'll do the Target/KMart thing too. But I literally drool over The Container Store catalog, like a man over the Victoria's Secret catalog!

I've italicized the dead wrong bits.

Some weird questions on this one!

Expression Number (?)

The "real me:"
Your Expression Number is 9
An idealist and humanitarian, you strive to make the world a better place.
You do your best when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion.
Deep down, you dream of being loved by many.

You are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others.
While you are very ambitious, you never lose site of perspective.
You have an abundance of creative talents... you just need to tap into them.

Although you are a giving person, you can become selfish if you are ignored.
If you are not able to help people, you tend to shelf your talents.
Without others, you become aloof and start to lack sensitivity.


"The Cataloger:"
Your Expression Number is 7
Very intelligent, you are usually thinking, introspecting, or analyzing.
You have a good mind, and you are especially good at finding out the truth.
Very little ever escapes your observation and deep understanding.

You tend to obsess over wisdom and hidden truths.
You are likely to become a authority on any subject you undertake.
Operating on a different wavelength, most people don't know you that well.

Very logical and rational, at times you tend to lack emotion.
So much so, that you often have times coping with emotional situations.
You are not very adaptable - you may tend to be overly critical at times.



Fascinating. I actually appear to truly be a blend of these, for the most part.

People seeing people

Slow and Steady
Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.
They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.
It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.
They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.


Huh. This is a little too close to the truth (I suspect) for comfort!
