Whose butt is this?! (Part I)

On a topic completely unrelated to work (and how many cry out, "FINALLY!"), I've been doing some research for my comics, especially Avatar. I updated Era's model, which now looks like a bizarre cross between a badger, a lizard, and a jackalope, but still a lot less anime-ish that he used to be. (Sidenote: Era used to be female, and no, I have nothing against the anime style. Just want my own style.)

Looking up random info for improving my own stories is fun. Anyways (anyway), I also did a little research into personalities, and, though I hold no stock by it in my own personal life, I found that looking into horoscope definitions helps to build characters (if that makes any sense). It's actually a little freaky how close to the real thing people are defined in their sign groups. Naturally, I looked at "my sign" for tonight, the proud Leo. Lemme sum up what I read:

--Leos enjoy the pleasures of life, and get just as much fun out of helping others enjoy the same pleasures.
--Leos are sunny, energetic, egotistic, sometimes to the point of overbearing; even so, Leos also tend to take the easy way out if they can.
--Leos are stubborn to the point of obsession. They like being the center of attention and have difficulty being a team player. They make great leaders...if they so choose.
--Variety is essential and boredom their bane. Arts, theater, and religion are best suited to them.

Creepily accurate. I still don't hold stock by horoscopes or star readings, though. :p I personally have no need for fortune telling, and since it'll happen one way or another, why does it matter to know? I trust my God enough to take care of the future, regardless of where I am in it.

Whoops, religious tangent there. *innocent smile* Anyways again (or anyway *ducks away from things being thrown at her* --force of habit!), I think these things'll give me a starting place to define my characters. I can't have them all the same--how boring would that be?

I could write a story about the incident at work, it's taken so many unexpected twists and turns. But it's not time, not yet. It may never be time.

I am Ginny, hear me rawr.
