Pisces: The most beloved sign of the zodiac.

Yes, the rumors are true. On Saturday, I will officially be a teenager trapped in a 25-year-old's body. I will no longer be able to say I'm closer to 20 than I am to 30. It'll be my birthday and I will probably cry, even if I don't want to.

Seriously though, this weekend is in fact my 25th birthday which is a pretty big deal, right? I thought in celebration I would teach everyone a little bit about my sun sign, Pisces (and therefore a little about me), since it is obviously the most superior sign in the zodiac. If you don't believe in astrology, then chances are you've never read up on your own sign and realized how crazy accurate the characteristics are. And if you hate the idea of astrology, then too bad, go read some other blog, you skeptic.

All of the following information is taken from "The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need" by Joanna Martine Woolfolk. (You really should own this book. It is a blast to bring out at social gatherings and just blow minds.)

Tidbits about Pisces:

• Most likable trait: compassion

Famous people who share the joy of being a Pisces:

Kurt Cobain (Starting off strong)



Elizabeth Taylor (Supposedly my doppelganger, but I feel that's flawed because I smile a lot and it's nearly impossible to find a photo of her smiling and, well just look at her.)



Drew Barrymore (I actually like her, so haters to the left.)



Alexander Graham Bell (ever heard of the telephone??)



Johnny Cash (We are actual birthday buddies)



Albert Einstein (Really, with the hair?)



Kelsey Grammer (I miss Frasier.)



George Harrison (also known as my favorite Beatle)



Michael Vartan (Too bad Pisces and Pisces is a bad match, you know, romantically.)



Jack Kerouac (Pretty handsome guy!)



John Steinbeck (Not-so-handsome guy)



Darryl Strawberry (I know he's like more known for his time in New York, but I bleed Dodger blue.)



Gloria Vanderbilt (She spawned this.)



George Washington (Pretty obscure, not sure you've heard of him.)



Bruce Willis (How so ageless?)



Charles Barkley (You know, the guy from Space Jam)



Steve Jobs (Thought about just putting a picture of my iPod, George, but I didn't want to disrespect the evil genius.)


I thought there was another worth mentioning, but who could it be?.......Oh, YEAH:

Justin Bieber (I think I've made my feelings about him pretty clear.)

I just love him an unhealthy amount.

So what did we learn from all this? Pisces are the coolest. And I can either end up being a great American novelist, a hot actor/actress, revolutionary technologist, world/life-changing ridiculously talented musician, legendary athlete, famous heiress with an even more famous (and hot) son, a genius, an American revolutionist/president, or Frasier.
