The Libra Character Portrait

You are oh-so-elegant and tasteful to the point of incurring nausea from loved ones. You are also bipolar as hell and can't make a decision on your own. You usually consult your therapist or TV Guide.

Libras are trendy and malleable folks. They are funny because they will glom onto something they hated before if it suddenly becomes fashionable. Velour is not entirely lost upon these people.

Libras eat a lot of ethnic food from cultures they don't understand. They single-handedly started the cappucino movement. Ask them why, and they will claim something unintelligible about solidarity.

You constantly worry about what other people think. If you really paid any attention, maybe people would like you more.

Libras use quotes from David Mamet plays to describe philosophical concepts. Then they have those concepts engraved upon nice little wallet cards.

The Libran interest in current events ends with the J. Crew catalog. They don't eat fast food or have any clue where their trash goes. They have other people tie their expensive shoes. Only two Libras have ever been found in thrift stores. All of their bell-bottoms were color-coordinated to match their lam? turtlenecks.

Libras are always on the cutting edge of what the rest of us think is absolute pretentious bulls**t. They have huge collections of CDs they've never even listened to. Libras give to designer charities. Hollywood is full of Libras.

You are the reason butterfly hairpins and parachute pants have made a comeback. Next on the list is those big jam shorts. You probably never threw out your old pair. Hang on to your Winger t-shirt too.

Get a Libra as drunk as possible and he or she will still be able to explain the difference between caf? latt? and caf? au lait. This is peculiar as the rest of us know that there is no difference at all.

Gee Gwendolyn, did a Libra frown at you today? Of course not all Librans are like this--in fact..NO Libran is like this!!

I'm a Libran through and through and I hate David Mamet! He's an ego-centric bastard. I've met the guy. It sounds like this astrological post was concocted by none other than yourself.

Gwendolyn.....two words:

So what??

How does this Libran woman eating ethnic food affect you PERSONALLY?

It doesn't!

If you are truely petty about little things like this, characteristics that other people have and you feel the need to bring it up whther in person or on a post, you have no life.

Get to know other Librans. I can assure you we are good, decent people.

The scorpio one is especially mean, but I hold nothing against Gwen cuz she didn't write it (plus I thought it was hilarious. lol). Plus, you have to understand that these jokes are pure sarcasm...they're supposed to sound mean. I understand the being sensitive thing, but I don't think it was anything personal, just posting sarcastic jokes that someone else wrote.

Come on Sloane, i dont think Gwendylyn meant any harm by this... I can relate to the fashion-sense bit, sometimes i think i got mine from the back of a kellog's cornflakes packet, haHA!

Ok.. I confess... a lot of people are angry at me (especially the Libras and Aries) for the humor posts. I didn't write them- I read a few of them and I thought they were really funny and on the mark so I posted them all. I didn't read the Libra one. (oh and about the ethnic food- I was only making a joke-trying to lighten up the scene cause everyone was getting mad at me)
