Gemini star sign

Be aware Jupiter will get aligned with Mercury on Tuesday. To avoid losing your shoes, wear odd socks and yellow clothes, because Wednesday might not be as good as you planned.

If your star sign is Scorpio...

Scorpio

Be wary of those around you today. Do not let the arrows of betrayal and harsh feelings penetrate your shell. Disaster may await, you may have to veer to the side of your typical routine. Wear two socks on one foot, if it makes you feel better.

Aquarius horoscope

Today is your day. Your element will flare, the sun will arise, you will float in the air. Your planets have changed so beware where you step, not everyone's safe so make sure you take care. Because  bullets can harm so make sure your aware when they pierce through  the air like unkind words of displeasure.

The Dark Side of Mrs Stretch

An angry lady wrapped in chocolate clothing storms into the room. She gives the area, and its inhabitants, a glare that would freeze the toes off a polar bear. Masses of make-up create a veil that makes her face unrecognisable. Her purple convex glasses lower as her wrinkly face scowls in unattractive disgust. Coldly, she brushes back a loose strand of her blonde hair, without ever once releasing the deadlock stare that emits from her two emerald eyes. In a ranting fury, she stomps her left foot down with such force the floorboards below creak in protest. "SIT DOWN!" she roars in a berating tone that seems to hold all the authority of fate itself.

Well, I'll chew ma own head off, it's Mrs Stretch!

Character Discription

I look through a crack in the door. I see a girl with brown, frizzy, messy hair. Her brown, happy eyes are full of life. Her small, oval ears listening to the radio. Her rounded nose smells the pellet fire burning  away in the room. Her mouth is in the form of a smile shouting "HELLO!" Her strong shoulders are relaxed while holding her bag, bus card, keys and phone. Her skin reflects her personality. Her long, skinny arms are stronger than they look. Her skinny body wears tight clothing- blue jeans, black t-shirt, walking shoes and a jersey. Her long legs add extra height onto her. Her name is Emily. Her effect on others is happy-ness. Her opinions are "feet are another alien." She feels happy, it shows. As I walk through the door she shouts "HELLO!"
