Horoscopes are so appealing, have you ever wondered why? I do.
100,000 people all read the same thing - so how could all of us be 'meeting the new friend who will turn into a lover' all on the same day?!
And yet even with knowing this you actually find yourself thinking about it, and going - 'wow-really? cool!!'
It is like a drug! I wonder if there are self-help groups or 12 step programs?
It is worse than nicotine or perfect chocolate chip cookies (are you noticing, like I am, that I write an awful lot about food? especially sweet decadent foods - hmmm...)
Anyway, where was I? I got kind of lost in the whole cookie thing - and by the way
Since when did the Cookie Monster only like cookies 'sometimes' - what!?! Sometimes! Seriously! - He loves cookies ALL the time, that is WHY he is the Cookie Monster!! The cookie Monster is not, let me repeat is NOT responsible for childhood obesity - ever!
Long live the Cookie Monster!
but I digress...
where was I?
Oh yes, horoscopes...
I think they are appealing because the glimpse into a possible future is just so enticing. Who doesn't want to get a peek into what might happen next?
Even if we do try to laugh it off and say - 'oh, it is just for fun, I don't really pay any attention to it - I certainly don't believe in it, it is silly - __________ (fill in statement of denial here).'
It is still the first section of the paper (or internet today) that we turn to!
Because who doesn't want to believe...
"...that your patience will pay off in the long run..."
Boy - I hope so!
