Today is C's birthday! Woot woot! I'm sure he can't wait to get his presents, but he's going to have to...well at least for one. Last Christmas I made the
*major* mistake of getting him an XBox 360. I never had a boyf who played video games before, so I didn't realize that I was just feeding the video gaming frenzy, when in fact if I hadn't bought it for him, I probably would have gotten him out of the habit! But I was trying to be a good girlfriend! ...I'm still paying for this mistake. Anywho, the game he wants just came out yesterday, so I pre-ordered it from a website and it should come in today! (All this means for me is that soon I will have
a lot more time to blog!)
C falls into the "Scorpio" sign. I'm not sure if I believe in astrological signs completely, but he does. Or at least enough to get this tattoo:
Oh yeah. It actually looks pretty cool, and I'm very happy he didn't get a scorpion on himself- those things are creepy looking!
So anyway, in case you didn't know here are some common Scorpio traits:
- Very Intense. A Scorpio man goes at things full force. He may even go after you that way. This intensity may scare some women away at first as they may think he is just clingy or obsessive. Keep in mind that the Scorpio male cannot help this, and look at it from the perspective that he knows what he wants and doesn’t wait to get it. If he has chosen you, you can be assured that he has strong feelings for you.
(This is very true. When he first wanted to date me, I had a different boyf. But he was relentless. He would call and try to plan dates, and no matter what I told him...and I tried many different thing, like saying I was uninterested, or he was crazy, or don't date me because I'm a bad gf...obviously if I was still talking to him and had a boyf... nothing would get him to stop. Guess his perservence worked out for the best though!)
-Mood Swings. Mood swings are one of the reasons that Scorpio men can be hard to figure out. One minute they are enjoying their time with you and the next minute they want to go be alone. They may be grumpy and then all of a sudden start joking about something. You will need to take the good with the bad. When the Scorpio man is in a good mood, have fun with him.
When he is in a bad mood, let him have his space and don’t pester him or yell at him for being crabby. (He hates it when I get mad at him for being crabby.)
-Seeks Revenge. A Scorpio man is not known for being forgiving. If the Scorpio man feels that you have betrayed him or hurt him in any way, he will seek to hurt you. He may do this by tearing you down verbally (sometimes in front of other people), talk about you negatively behind your back, and possibly even perform some cruel jokes on you. The best thing to do is never to cross a Scorpio man in the first place.
(An example of this can be seen in...an upcoming post. Maybe. I don't like to think/talk about it. It's in the past as they say.)
-Scorpio men don’t like being told what to do
(one of his favorite lines is "Don't tell me what I can't DO!" as Locke would say in Lost), they don’t like to talk about personal things, and they don’t like to be around know-it-alls. A Scorpio male also hates being lied to, and doesn’t like making any compromises. If you have any of the qualities that a Scorpio man hates, don’t even start dating him. It will be a short lived relationship.
-a Scorpio man will be perfectly suited in a position that will greatly impact people or society.
(C is a high school history teacher.) The Scorpio man will usually be very good with money, having the ability to make it and conserve it. He will often remain secretive of his money and power, if nothing else to ensure that no one tries to take advantage of him.
(C prefers not to have a savings account because he doesn't trust banks. True story.)
-The Element associated with Scorpio is Water. As opposed to the 'roiling seas' seen in other Water Signs, a better motto for Scorpios would be 'still waters run deep.' Those born under this sign are as emotional as their waterborne brethren, it's just that they're not as likely to show it. The Scorpio's emotions are repressed, kept under cover.
(Apparently he gets sensitive about his birthday...it took me about a week for him to explain why, and why he wasn't sending an email to his friends about his bday party.)
-Beware the Scorpio who feels crossed! These folks can turn vindictive in no time flat. Luckily, once Scorpios catch their breath, they will return to their usual determined and loyal (albeit strong-willed) ways.
(This is true. When he gets mad, he get pissed. But eventually he does simmer down and apologize...eventually.)
-Scorpions don't miss much, since they are highly attuned to the vibrations of others. They are intuitive, probing and very focused on knowing who's who and what's what. Scorpios can lose their temper (and even become vengeful) when someone gets in their way, so it's best to give them plenty of room.
(He has a man-cave. He has his own room. 'Nuff said!)
-Scorpios work as hard as they do so they can someday sit back and feel satisfied with themselves. These folks are intense, passionate and filled with desire.
(I don't know about this one yet, but it will be quite awhile until he/we can sit back! We do enjoy vacations to the fullest though!)
Lucky me!! Happy birthday C! Love u!
