A friend of mine sent me a few links about Virgos. I read some of it and although a lot wasn’t true, I was amazed that some of the things were true. I’ll post some of the info with my comments in red.
Things About Virgos:
Virgo is known for her love of work and service to others. Virgos have a strong need to be needed and a talent for healing the sick, giving good practical advice and assistance, and solving problems for others. Their advice is usually worth following because it tends to be based on a thoughtful analysis of the pros and cons of a potential course of action rather than a knee-jerk emotional reaction.(True. I had to learn how to balance though. Before I would give more of myself to others than myself but there has to be some balance or you will get worn out. I finally realized I’m not superwoman and its not meant for me to solve everybody’s problems.)
You make a wonderful impression with your skilful insights and broad-based knowledge. Simply put, you are a most interesting person to be with. When others get to know you a little more, you can be a fascinating person with all sorts of useful titbits of information. (So true. I can’t tell a joke even if you give me a punchline, but I do like to have fun. If you don’t know me, take the time to get to know me…smile)
On the most practical level you really like to do things properly, meticulously by working through the work or service you perform on a daily basis. It doesn’t matter how small or large the task, you take pride in how well you do it. You investigate things before diving in. Once you have all the information required you complete your task to the best of your ability. (I think this is why I make a good project manager. I’m a stickler for details…some folks hate I ask so many questions and hold them accountable to deadlines.)
Others who aren’t quite as precise in the way they carry out their own work find it hard dealing with you. In your own mind there’s no point in doing anything half-heartedly. You’d rather not do it at all. You are very clear on this. (I hate when folks don’t follow up the way I think they should. I feel if someone expects something from me, then they should live up to their end and provide me with the information I need in a timely fashion.)
Time is also important to you. So you like to make sure you use it well. It would be unusual to find a disorganised Virgo. Keeping a diary and making lists are a favourite pastime of yours. Of course having the right pen and paper to keep your lists is just as important so a favourite hangout for some Virgos is the local stationery supply store. It sounds a little weird sure, but you do need to have the right pen to write with! (Two hand snaps. Time is of the essence is what I always say. I hate being late. I hate someone else showing up late. I don’t like turning things in late. I just like things done in a timely fashion.)
You are cautious about all manner of things from how much the food bill costs to what type of person is just right for you in your social or romantic life. You have a hawk eye and can spot an error a mile away. If that food bill is out by 5 cents you’ll pick it up. (Cashiers beware because I’m watching the cash register like a hawk and I also double check my ticket before I leave the parking lot. I am also cautious about who I let into my “innercircle.”)
Your Virgoan antenna is sharp as a tack and you’ll pay special attention to the fine detail of any subject matter. You’re also very well read and interested in a variety of topics. You consider yourself an eternal student of sorts. (True. I like to learn about new things because you never know when the information will come in handy.)
Some people think you’re shy and unassuming but this is only because you cautiously like to observe and analyse people and situations before jumping to conclusions. (If you know me, I’m not shy. But I am quiet around folks I don’t know. I’ve learned that you learn a lot just by listening.)
Virgos are prone to worrying, agonizing over things, and in extreme cases, hypochondria or germ phobia. (I don’t totally agree with this. I do worry about things sometimes but as far as being compulsive about it–no. I am particular about hygeine. If I’m in line and the cashier sneezes into their hands and doesn’t wipe them off or use sanitizer to clean them, I will get my stuff and go to another line.)
Virgos don’t fall in love easily and they are very choosy about their mates and friends. They are drawn to people through intellectual curiosity rather than shallow physical attraction or passion. Virgos need intellectual stimulation, and will quickly grow bored in the company of those who make small talk rather than speaking of serious, important things. (True. I don’t fall in love easily but when I am in love–I’m in love. I don’t like superficial folks. I’m attracted more to a man’s mind and how he handles himself day to day than to his physical statue…but don’t get me wrong, I like something good to look at too…smile).
Return tomorrow for when the real celebration begins–you’ll enjoy a music mix done by DJ Shelia (so don’t forget to stop on by…be there or be square).
What does this writer and a hot man have in common–we’re on NINA PIERCE’s Thursday Thirteen list.
Excerpt from NINA PIERCE’s blog: This is the last of my author thirteens. I want to thank all the authors who stopped by the Block this summer to visit and share pictures and bios. I hope you all found some new authors to check out and new books to read. This week I didn’t have enough authors to fill out the thirteen, so some of my guys agreed to hang out and keep these wonderful women company…to read on, click here.
