Stuffed Piggolo Pig 11\we’re one day into the chinese new year, a year of the pig! how do the forecasts look for you? not that i treat them with more than a grain of salt, but just for fun, here’s what they say is in store for all of you who were, like me, born in the year of the rat:

The clever rat will do well to spend this year planning for the beginning of the next twelve year cycle. This cycle has been a bit difficult, but starting with the rat year in 2008, plans should start to succeed. This year of the Pig is a good time to be with friends and family who are celebrating the fullness of the year. Take care of old business and tie up loose ends that might get in the way of your coming good fortune. Enjoy vacations and hobbies this year. You will need to be well rested when your year begins.

seems like my task this year is to lay the groundwork for 2008 and beyond. sounds pretty good. except that hm, i’m not sure i’m a typical rat:

People born in the Year of the Rat are one of the most industrious and hardest working in the zodiac.

er, not really.

Forever busy in pursuit of an ambitous personal goal, at times they may become difficult to work with since they are born perfectionists. Rats must ensure that every “i” is dotted before completing an assigned task. As a result, they are often successful financially, and are good providers for their family and those they cherish most dearly.

ambitions? what’s that? perfectionist? no way. i’ve got too many things to worry about to aim for perfection. and financial success… bwahahaha!

Loyal and loving, Rat people inspire loyalty in others who are close to them. They are essentially honest individuals and loath to betray a confidence. However, their quick wit and restlessness can sometimes lead to chattiness, and they can often be relied upon at large social gatherings for a good story or a juicy bit of gossip.

that started out pretty good. but chatty? ugh. i hate small talk to death.

Their energy levels and expert organizational talents are such that it is a rare thing to see a Rat person sitting idly by with nothing to do.

oh yeah? watch me.

They may even sometimes be viewed as opportunists who cajole others into helping them accomplish a great ambition. In their careers, Rat people can find much success as business leaders or politicians.

politics? puh-lease!

How are the predictions like for you?
