GRAY SKITTERY
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who is in a constant struggle with the forces of good and evil, and you're losing the battle. Family and friends have no idea how many contradictory thoughts are going through your head at one time. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time searching for a specialty store wanting to buy either throw pillows for your bed or a package of blank rewritable CDs. Be on the lookout for pencil sharpeners with an attitude. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter P, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 268222. Your preferred shopping venue is mail order catalogs. Your special symbol is the question mark (?).
Is this You?
As a Gray Skittery, you are ambivalent, indecisive, and uncertain. You are in a constant struggle between the forces of demand and supply, production and consumption, good and evil... and you're losing the battle. You have trouble making decisions and choosing from among the seemingly infinite number of options that you perpetually face. Your shopping experiences are inevitably confusing.
This isn't me! What am I?

Gambling On A State LOTTERYYou might recall during our discussion of gambling in the entry appropriately titled gambling, that I purchased $5 worth of Super Luck-O Multi-State Lottery tickets at the Master's Sprocket convenience store. Well, the day of the big drawing came and went. I was about as close to winning as the planet Pluto is to buying a Hot Mamma Fudge Bananarama Ice Cream Sundae on a cold winter morning. At least the five dollars I paid for lottery tickets goes to a good cause. The state uses a share of the proceeds for education, and that keeps my taxes lower. If you'll excuse me for a moment, I've got another ten bucks in my pocket screaming for the chance to by some more Super Luck-O Multi-State Lottery tickets. While I'm doing that, why don't you see if this is a wise consumption move on my part.
