I was at a birthday party for my friend Bongani this weekend, and there were a slew of people there. Bongani is a typical Aquarius: he meets new people at the drop of a hat and within three minutes they’re his friends and are invited to his parties. Literally, some people showed up at the birthday party that he had just met at Starbucks earlier that afternoon (they also gave him better presents than his old friends did…my present was “Hey, happy birthday, I didn’t get you anything.” Bongani, being Bongani, thought this was great.)
Among this slew of friends old and new that showed up, two brought children. One of them was a two month old, Zula, who slept through most of the party. The other was a two year old, Massai, who hung back and played shy for about ten minutes, then remembered that she likes everyone. She, too, is an Aquarius. The ultimate proof of this? At one point we gave her a cup of juice which she promptly clinked against Jordana’s and my cups and yelled “Cheers!”. That child has been raised right.

I think I must be a semi-typical Aquarian. I’m much more shy
SCORPIOS RULE
How cool! My mom’s an Aquarian, but she’s very shy most of the time.
(Retro–I knew I liked you for a reason! My kind [Cancers] always get along well with Scorps.
)
Lisa~But once you know people, you are a typical Aquarian.
Retro~The last time I hung out with a guy Scorpio, he grabbed my boob. He was triple Scorp.
Aimee~Must be that crunchy external shell you both have.
You meet the most interesting people.
I’m a Taurus, so that pretty much says it all.
What a cutie.
I think I’m a double Scorpio. It’s been so long since I read about any of that stuff I don’t remember.
aw……drinking baby……….
Sloth~Totally. This child brought an empty wine bottle out of the recycle pile, and tried to pour it into her cup because that’s what all the adults were drinking.
Retro~Uh oh, watch out for you.
Lori~You should see her! Her father is African and her mother is Korean – she’s a gorgeous combination of them both.
Vince~I live in NYC. If I didn’t meet interesting people, I’d be disappointed.
Aquarians are interesting people, never a dull moment and for some reason I know quite a few. Some I love, some I should never ever work with, ever.
Lots of people are Aquarius
But their personalities are various
Even though many seem gregarious
Generalizing can be precarious
But I know here it’s not nefarious.
Still I’m trying to be vicarious
To Julie, who’s always hilarious.
Esther~My boss is also an Aquarius. She’s going through one of those periods where we’re all keeping our heads down. Normally, she’s great, but right now? Head down, look busy.
Michael~Awww, my very own Michael poem. I might frame it.
Generalizations are like assumptions…except without that spiffy “You know what happens when you assume” line to go with them.
