some randomness to start off my monday morning
Here are some interesting facts i found on the back of my Libra Invisibles. I'm in a sharing mood, so i hope you enjoy. (i
bolded the interesting ones. but my damn template doesn't actually show boldness (i thought it would be artistic at the time. meh.), so i will just make them another colour, or bigger. hopefully that will work)

at a closer inspection of the galss, there are little descriptions. for example. Taurus is "Horny" (haha) and Aries is a "Rammer." I found that quite amusing.
Must be off. It's time to study. If anyone has any requests to see their star-sign position, please just ask!
