What what what are you doing?

Not that it carries any meaning in my life, but they changed the Zodiac signs to add a 13th one. I don't like this. They took my squiggle lines of Aquarius away from me and made me a sea goat. You know the one. That creepy thing that sings to Charlie the Unicorn in the 3rd "episode"... yeah, that's me now. According to Wikipedia (which is sooooo reliable) Capricorn is the sign of the introvert. Shows what you know stars. :P
On the other hand, I have immensely enjoyed informing people of this new change. I have probably enjoyed it much more than I should and certainly much more than is decent or should be allowed. It's been a fun 5 minutes receiving texts and posts saying "Really?" like it's the end of the world or something. That's not until 2012 folks, you can relax. Jk, I don't believe in that either. Anyone remember when people were like "2000 is the end of the world!!"? Yeah, I do too. 
I'm rambling.
Back to the point. The Babylonians kicked Ophiuchus out of astrology for a reason. Not because they didn't like him, but because the Zodiac is a time keeping mechanism and it just didn't make sense in their counting system (which is based on 60) to have 13 hours or 13 months. Adding him back in is like kicking history in the face. Plus, who really wants to say "I was born under the sign of the snake charmer."? I wouldn't. Not anymore than I want to jokingly read a prediction about my life under the rule of a sea goat now.
