I am a Capricorn, with Leo Rising and Moon in Pisces, Chinese Sign Goat or Sheep, and I don't believe in Astrology, Feng Shui, or Numerology. However, I like it when people say nice things about me, so I read a lot of Astrology books, but only the parts that are about my sign, and are complimentary.
I am a professional stand-up comic, but I frequently think to myself that I've missed my true calling in life as an international spy/Olympic figure-skater. If only I'd taken figure-skating lessons at spy school instead of majoring in English and Theater Arts, who knows what might have been?
In addition to watching tv, my hobbies include daydreaming about being married and rich, seething with rage and plotting revenge, joking and laughing with friends and family, and getting my groove on.
I am also a compulsive list-maker. I make up lists of favorite songs, favorite make-up colors, stuff I'd buy from various catalogs if I wasn't broke, things like that. I do this for an average of at least one hour a day. It's the thing that helps me maintain my sanity, officially making me "uncool" as I have yet to utterly lose it and be prescribed anything to keep me sane.
My parents loved me, loved each other, never divorced, Again, "uncool".
Also, I am not into shoes. I like a good pair of Pumas, Nikes or Converse as much as the next gal, but that's about it. Who looks at people's feet all the time anyway?
I hate the following: reality tv, Gwyneth Paltrow, unkindness, unspeakably bad manners, poor understanding of the English language on the part of native speakers, humorlessness, gross materialism, people who claim not to watch television, but they really do, the "30-somethings" of the 80's and their children.
I love the following: fantasy tv, Jude Law, funny people, long discussions where we solve all the world's problems in theory.
I'm much wilder than my conservative-lifestyle friends, and much more conservative in my attitudes than the wild ones.

Humans. Preferably British. Also, anyone with magic powers.
