Writer's Block: Give me a sign

WTF? It's determined by when you were born, it doesn't change. The dates that they put next to the sign names are for whatever year that they're writing in; they aren't supposed to mean that cuspies like me are a different sign every year. O_o
I'm right on the border between Taurus and Gemini - the switchover was about three hours before I was born. I don't reckon that it effects things that much, but while I was growing up, my dad and little sister were Tauruses whereas my Mum is a Gemini and I'm a cuspie, and I felt a lot like I was 'supposed' to be fitting the same mould as my dad and sister (my parents saw the thing saying Gemini: 21st May - 22nd June, so of course I must be a Taurus - but of course, having looked it up and then arguing about it is 'caring too much about silly fortune telling').
When I did actually look it up, it was a tool in realising that I got a say in discovering who I am, and that I'm going to know better than my parents or random strangers. *shrug* So, you could say that identifying as a Gemini rather than Taurus has changed my personality, or you could say that it's helped me understand my bipolar self.
BRB, dying my hair maybe.
