The Powerful Tiger? (fun with horoscopes)

Another entry without actually any original content.

Evidently, I am:


The Powerful Tiger
My comments in good old sarcastic bold. Some parts of this are actually far more accurate than others, I discovered.


"Born leader" is the key phrase for tigers.Nope. They are always in the lead and are most likely the ones to cry out "Let's Go"! Noble and fearless, tigers are respected for their courage even by their opponents. Don't I wish!

Tiger people are daring fighters and they are capable of fighting to the bitter end for what they think is right. When I'm not too busy or too scared... Although they can be selfish from time to time in the little things, they are capable of great generosity. Tigers are unpredictable and always tense and in a hurry. Okay, I'll buy that...

Tiger people are difficult to resist, for they have magnetic personalities and their natural air of authority confers a certain prestige on them. See "respected". They are tempestuous yet calm, warm-hearted yet fearsome, courageous in the face of danger yet gentle.

Tigers are very confident, perhaps too confident at times.*muffled snickers* Although they love adventures and are addicted to excitement it is better not to challenge a tiger. They like being in charge and may feel the need to put you in your place!

Because tigers are always in a hurry to get things done right, they usually choose to operate alone.Okay, that fits. Tigers like to work and are hard-working and dynamic. Okay, that doesn't.If you assign a task to a tiger, the job will be undertaken and accomplished with enthusiasm and efficiency. *looks at empty word processing document waiting for philosophy paper...* Tigers make money but they are not directly interested in money. Still, a tiger need not worry about money for just when he fears the money is gone, more seems to show up.

Tigers are sensitive and emotional. They are capable of great love but they become too intense about it.Yeah, I guess. They are also territorial and possessive. If you are a friend of a tiger, he wants you to take his side against the bad guys and because the tiger is so adorable, ...no comment... you often do. As lovers, tigers are passionate and romantic, but the real challenge for a tiger is to grasp the true meaning of moderation.

The best matches for a tiger is a dog, horse, or monkey. Good matches are a pig or dragon by the way, this is Seifer's sign. Ok matches are a snake or rat. Matches of a rooster, another tiger, rabbit -- my mother, who I love dearly, ox -- both Squall and Rinoa, who are generally tolerable or better, or sheep are not advised.

strange echoes

Things that I think about in class when I don't have to think. Yes, nearly the entire contents of this entry are quotes. Yes, I should be writing a philosophy paper. Are we done now?

Every time I hear these lyrics...

"I loved you while he was in you in the shower
Did (in joy and ecstasy) your eyes begin to water"
--Eve 6, "Showerhead" (click for rest of lyrics)

I can't help thinking of this Tenshi no Korin FFVIII fic....
""I found you once." Zell examined the embroidery on his towel. "The two of you looked like you just...belonged here, kinda golden in the light and- Seifer held your face as he kissed you." Zell slowly rubbed at his bangs, frowning at them as they dangled over the bridge of his nose. "He looked almost... gentle." (...) "I went back to the door and made sure nobody bugged you." Zell let the terry cloth crumple into his hands. "Stood guard every day that semester. I may be an idiot but I know destiny when I see it. Besides, I know how privacy is hard to come by around here."

Squall was silent a long moment. "You kept watch all that time? But you hated Seifer, even then. You could have called him in and-"

"Gotten you in trouble?" Zell wondered frantically if he was giving too much away, Squall was rumored to have as much power of observation as a gift-wrapped box of gravel but Zell knew better. "Nah. Besides. Seifer knew I saw him, knew all that time I could have called him in and didn’t. Drove him nuts but he couldn’t touch me. As long as he wasn’t doing anything unwanted I didn’t mind keeping a lookout."

Several things to say filtered through Squall’s mind, but at last he settled only on "thank you."

Zell wanted to wrap those words up and hold them to his heart until they melted on his skin, to hold Squall’s grateful, confused expression between his palms and kiss it the way Seifer had...."
