earing the end of the presidential campaign, more than a dozen states could go either way in the election Nov. 7, and seven other states that are leaning toward Vice President Al Gore or Texas Gov. George W. Bush are not a sure bet for either candidate.

In most presidential campaigns, only a few states are undecided this close to the election. But the opposite has happened this time. The battle zones have ballooned and the candidates plan to spend their final days scurrying through a long list of undecided states from PHOTO PROVIDED Washington to Florida.

"If you had asked 'me or the Texas governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore, candidates or anybody else on pictured at the third Presidential debate last month.

Labor Day what states they would

be worrying about now, they would have said probably not more than six or eight," said Stephen Hess, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "But it's more than double that."

Fifteen states that appear to be up for grabs are Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Delaware and Maine.

The number of undecided states matters because of the peculiar, little-understood manner in which presidential elections are decided. Winning the popular vote doesn't ensure a candidate will become president.

Instead, a candidate needs to receive 270 votes in the Electoral

he state fire marshall must have had a revelation when he issued a notice to residents of the dorms that they could be fined for decorating the outside of their doors. The doors of residents from this university and others across the nation have been decorated for years without constraint.

We're lucky we've survived this long, living behind doors adorned with extremely flammable dry-erase boards, posters and photos. It's a*good thing all but 20 percent of such risky decorations have been stripped off our doors, leaving the bare presence of shiny wood. Oh, precious wood — you will surely withstand the fire and protect us from the flames.

What a relief, as well, that the bulletin boards are now defaced. All that ridged border and those cut-out letters would have been a disaster if caught up in flames.

What's next? Should we take down everything on our walls? The halls of the dorms already look like those of an asylum. Why not make a theme of it by matching our walls to the halls? We would be safer, after all.

We could, thank goodness, still decorate 20 percent of our walls. This magic number was most certainly calculated to provide maximum security.

Anyone have a dozen yard sticks?

Shouldn't we strip the walls all over campus, all over the state, all over the nation, all over the world? Fire marshalls, where are you?

And if paper products are so dangerous on our walls, aren't they just as dangerous in our hands? Should we destroy all but 20 percent? Tests, and finals in particular, have proven to be highly flammable.

Readers, beware. The Vista is flammable. Do not post clippings on doors or walls. •

VOTE: Bush, Gore battle for Electoral College votes continued from page 1

College, and those votes are doled out by each state based on the election results there.

In 48 of the 50 states, the candidate chosen by most voters statewide gets all of that state's electoral prize. So in essence, the race for president comes down to 51 distinct elections, including the District of Columbia With so many states still apparently undecided, this year's race is spawning debate among political scientists over all the ways the Electoral College math might break down. It also has raised the specter, how ever unlikely, that the winner of the popular vote could actually lose the election in the Electoral College, a scenario that hasn't happened in 112 years.

"Is that likely? No. Probable? No. Possible? Yes," said Terry Madonna, a political scientist at Millersville University in Pennsylvania. "If it happened, I think the American public would be horrified to finally learn that they don't elect the president as they thought they did."

Understanding the electoral system, which dates back to the writing of the Constitution, requires knowing two key rules. First, the most populous states are worth more than others because a state's

electoral vote count is equal to its number of U.S. senators and representatives.

Second, the fact that states other than Nebraska and Maine allot their electoral votes in a winnertake-all manner means that once a candidate has a firm lock on Tstate, there's no point in going back to campaign there. Conversely, a candidate who is losing a state gets nothing for finishing a close second.

The skeleton of a presidential election map is predictable in most campaigns, including this one.

Republicans rely on a band of states across the nation's South, as well as a thick ribbon down the nation's center and West. Democrats, meanwhile, bank on the country's far edges: New England and the Northeastern states, California, which is worth a whopping 54 electoral votes, and the Pacific Northwest.

After that, the fight generally comes down to several states that could go either way, such as Pennsylvania, Illinois and Michigan.

This time, though, surprises have popped up. A few states that were expected to be hard fought — most notably, New Jersey — haven't turned out to be. Gore is believed to

have a solid lead there, and neither candidate has spent much time there lately.

But more states that had been expected to lean to one side or the other have emerged as all-out fights.

Nearly all of these new battlegrounds involve states where Gore had been thought to have an advantage, including Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, West Virginia and his home state of Tennessee. Only one of them, Florida, was expected to go to Bush in part because his brother Jeb is governor there.

In addition to the 15 states that polls suggest are still up for grabs, seven others are leaning to one candidate or the other. California, Washington, Iowa and Illinois seem likely to go to Gore. Ohio, Kentucky and Louisiana are leaning to Bush: What it means for the campaigns is a far more complicated tactical scramble in this final week, trying to decide where to divide the candidate's time and his money and coping with wide geographical distances.

Adding to the scrum is the fear that already-leaning states — such as California for Gore and Ohio for Bush — might suddenly swing back. •

AROUND THE WORLD AFRICA KENYA, Nairobi — Members of the Mungiki, a religious sect that emphasizes traditional African values, allegedly stripped and whipped six women who were wearing pants in the Kayole suburb of Nairobi.

The incident has stunned the East African nation, which has called for the immediate arrest and trial of the men, who were captured on camera waving the pants in the air. The Kenyan chapter of the International Federation of Women Lawyers termed yesterday's incident a "shameful" act.

ASIA CHINA, Beijing — Beijing's economic bureaucrats indicated recently that they were so worried

by China's growing sensitivity to fluctuations in the international oil market that they might consider building up strategic reserves, like those of the United States and Japan.

Long self-sufficient in energy, the country's economy remained to a large extent insulated from the reverberations of topsy-turvy global oil markets.

The worry abroad is that China's sheer weight in buying and using oil could affect other countries by driving up world energy prices.

China is already Asia's second largest oil consumer after Japan.

Until the beginning of this year, domestic oil industry analysts held that by 2010 crude imports would reach 100 million tons.

LATIN AMERICA MEXICO, Mexico City — Mexican Senator Fernando Gutierrez died Oct. 30, taking many secrets to the grave with him as a former head of the Federal Security Agency, an influential member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and a supposed double agent for the United States and Cuba.

"Don Fernando," as he was known in Mexico's political circles, was a personal friend of Fidel Castro, to whom he gave support prior to Cuba's 1959 revolution. But he was also one of the harshest repressors of local insurgent movements and social protests in Mexico in the 1960s and .1970s. The senator of the stillgoverning PRI and former secretary of the interior under president Carlos Salinas (1988-94) was close to tile inner circles of power for many decades, whether as a political operator behind the scenes or as an official with privileged access to state secrets.

Gutierrez passed away in the wee hours of this morning as a result of cardiovascular ailments, four days after his 73rd birthday.

EUROPE SPAIN, Madrid — A Supreme Court judge, his driver and his bodyguard were killed and 38 others injured in the Spanish capital by a car bomb authorities blamed on the Basque separatist group ETA. The powerful explosion also destroyed some 50 homes and dozens of vehicles, including a city bus, whose driver is in serious medical condition.

The 69-year-old judge, Jose Francisco Querol Lombardero, who also held the rank of general, was killed alongside his driver, Armando Medina, and bodyguard, Jesus Escudero Garcia, when a bomb went off in an automobile near their car as it approached a traffic light.

With these deaths, Euskadi to Askatasuna (ETA) has claimed a total of 56 victims in Madrid alone since the group arose in the 1960s.

ETA is blamed for 19 deaths nationwide since December 1999, when it broke the unilateral ceasefire it had maintained for nearly a year and a half.

The explosive was apparently detonated by remote control as the vehicle carrying Querol to the courthouse passed by the car bomb.

Dr. Thomas !shill, director of photography lab and instructor

o you believe in angels?

Until now, I have never told this story outside of my immediate family. However, since this is an un-edited, open forum, I thought someone else might benefit from it.

Several years ago, when I was a student at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, the girl I was dating lived in Ardmore. Over the Thanksgiving break I decided to visit her.

Even though the weather reports were not good, I didn't let that stop me, because I just had to see that girl.

Several miles down the road, as the weather worsened, I ran into an "Ice Storm" which coated the roads with a heavy sheet of ice ... but I kept on driving.

As I began going up an ice covered hill, toward me — from over the hill — came a gasoline transport truck, and it was taking its share of the road from the middle.

So to avoid the truck, I swerved to the right side of the road, which sent my car into a spin.

Each rotating spin took me closer and closer to the edge of the road, until on the third rotation I went off the road backwards and down into a ditch about 15 feet deep.

I hit my head on the steering wheel and began to bleed, but after a few minutes, dazed and bleeding, I crawled out of the car and up the embankment to the top of the hill.

There on the road, at the top of the hill, sat an old, white, 4-door sedan, motor running and the back door open. Inside the car sat a man and woman, and as I approached the car the woman yelled for me to "get in."

I got into the back seat, and the man asked if I was all right. I told him that my head hurt, but otherwise was OK. Then the woman turned to me and as she handed me a cloth, to wipe the blood from my face, she asked, "Where's your friend?"

I replied, "What friend? I was in

the car alone!"

She responded, "No, we saw your car go over the cliff and there were definitely two people in the front seat when you left the road."

A second time I assured her that I was alone in the car.

They said their name was Wilson, and they had a friend who had a service station not far away and they could drop me off there.

When we arrived at the service station there was a wrecker, with it's motor running, parked at the north side of the station. Mr. Wilson got out with me, talked to the owner, explaining my situation, and then the wrecker driver and I got into the wrecker. I thanked the Wilsons as we drove off in the wrecker , toward my accident, and the Wilsons parked at the north side of the station, where the wrecker had been. As the wrecker pulled away, I noticed their Oklahoma car tag in the wrecker's rearview side mirror...GD-777.

The wrecker driver and I returned to my car; he hooked onto it and pulled it out of the 15-foot ditch and onto the top of the road. I started the car, and it seemed to be OK. When I asked what it cost for his services he said, "Don't worry son, it's already been pain in full."

I thanked him and drove on to Ardmore without further incident.

As I returned home, four days later, I traveled north along the same highway where the service station was located. I could see it in the distance, and I began to slow down because I wanted to stop and again thank them for all the help they had given me just a few days earlier.

However, as I slowed down to turn into the station, to my amazement the service station was closed. The doors and windows were boarded up, and there was an old, weathered, "For Sale" sign tied to one of the gasoline pumps.

I didn't stop, but instead just drove on. But as I passed on by the station, in my rear view mirror, I noticed parked at the north side of the station sat a rusting, white, 4door sedan ... with an Oklahoma car tag ... GD-777.

I'm sorry if these events sound like an episode from the "Twilight Zone," but until you have lived through a life experience such as this, you may not fully appreciate or understand it's impact on your life.

Sometimes, we never know who God will bring into our lives to carry out a special mission, nor do we know whose lives God will have us touch. •

We gave up the one big play early on defense but really controlled them the rest of the way and offensively we had a lot of success both running and throwing," said Howard.

The Broncho defense held SOSU to just 215 total yards and forced five turnovers to help amass their biggest win since defeating Langston 51-0 in 1997.

The defense was lead by free safety Kelly Heathington who had nine tackles, including two for losses, and Claude Davis had eight tackles and a sack.

UCO can gain at least a share of the conference crown with a win over Northeastern State in the season finale next week in Talequah. •

t took record-setting efforts to snap a record winning streak, but in the end it was the UCO duo of Alma Brahimaj and Stacey Meek that prevailed as the Bronchos stunned three-time Lone Star Conference North Division champion Cameron in a five-game marathon Nov. 4 at Hamilton Field House.

Brahimaj had a school singlematch record 46 kills, which tied the NCAA Division II mark.

Meek had a record 86 assists to lead UCO to an 18-16, 15-17, 1511, 14-16, 15-9 victory that ended the Lady Aggies' record 35-match LSC North Division winning streak in a see-saw match that took nearly three hours.

The Bronchos ended the regular season 20-11 overall and 8-2 in the LSC North, while Cameron fell to 21-12 and 9-1 with its first North Division loss since falling to UCO late in the 1997 season.

Both teams move on to the LSC Tournament that CU, which had already wrapped up the LSC North title, will host next week.

"It's an unbelievable win for us," UCO coach Mark Herrin said.

"It was an incredible battle from the start, just like we knew it would be, but we came up with the plays when we had to have them. "Both teams played their hearts out and it's a shame somebody had to lose just a great match. Alma and Stacey were obviously fantastic, but we had several players perform well for us."

Brahimaj also set a school record with 125 attacks in registering her 46 kills while adding 25 digs. Meek had 86 assists and 31 digs, while Lexy PFIOTO SERVICES Fortner had 21 kills and 37 digs.

State's 'sooner mania' bursts Broncho bubble

BY SARAH DAVIS

Staff Writer

W

ho let the Sooners out?"

That would be OU, of course.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you have heard the muchplayed song, recorded by the T.J. & Tooker morning show on KJ- 103 FM. It is just one effect of all the Sooner mania and hype going on these days.

Sooner mania has spread from Norman across Oklahoma, prompting UCO students to absorb Sooner spirit. Students may be seen on any given day wearing OU paraphenalia.

"I don't see why UCO students sellout to OU. That University of Oklahoma has done nothing for them. They just jump on the bandwagon because OU has a winning team. Everyone wants to be number one," said Jarrett Jobe, coordinator for the Office of Campus Life.

"I can understand being an intense fan if you transferred here

from OU — then you have a connection. Other than that, UCO has nothing to do with OU." "Interfraternity Council (IFC) actually cancelled activities planned on Oct. 28 because of the OU vs.

Nebraska game," Jobe said.

The latest news to add to the hype is the salary of Bob Stoops, which was recently raised to $1.4 million, making him the third highest paid coach in the nation and the highest paid In the Big 12 Conference.

OU is also undergoing a $100 million renovation project, and half of the money will be used to remodel Memorial Stadium.

The OU athletic department has been busy, especially with the OU vs. Nebraska game where they received around 600 press requests.

"I think it's stupid. I don't like -CU," said Melissa Ross, UCO sophomore.

The winning spirit of the team transfers to students all around the OU campus.

"I see people walk to class and randomly punch someone on the

arm and say, We're number one!" said Alyson Millar, elementary education sophomore at OU. "Everybody's talking about the team. It's the topic of most conversations I hear."

Retailers in Norman have been doing remarkably well this season.

"Saturday after the Nebraska game was one of the biggest sale days ever for Sooner gifts, souvenirs and clothes," said Jamie Leaver, an senior and worker at Ratcliffe's Bookstore in Norman.

Car flags were the top sale item at the Boomer Bookstore in Norman.

"It's hard to keep the flags and other Sooner items in stock," said Rosanne, manager at the Bookstore.

She also said that the pride is great because the store makes more contacts and friends.

"More people come into the store, even if they don't buy anything. It's great for sales, for Norman and for OU," Rosanne said.

The Sooners still have the rest of the season to keep the hype going. •

Celebrities, campaigns dial up voters

BY CARYN ROUSSEAU

Wire Reporter

C

ollege students might be getting calls from Puff Daddy, Jewel and the Beastie Boys this

week.

The celebrities have taped short phone messages that MTV's Rock the Vote campaign is dialing out to registered 18-24-year-old voters urging them to go to the polls Tuesday.

The presidential campaigns and nonpartisan groups like Rock the Vote are making last ditch efforts to politically motivate students using methods reminiscent of the 1960s including teach-ins and dorm storms.

Campaigns are working fast and furious to sway student votes, register voters and have campus wide debates between candidate supporters.

All three campaigns boast student organizations on all major college campuses, which may be more of a testament to Ralph Nader's staying power with college students, who are looking away from the traditional two parties.

"We are appealing to students who are turned off by the two party system," said Corey Eastwood, National Student Coordinator for Green Party candidate Ralph Nader's campaign. "They are disillusioned by the conspiracy and lies of the Republicrats."

Many say Nader's candidacy may pull the 18-to-24-year-old vote away from Gore. Alison Friedman, Director of Student Outreach for Gore, said the campaign is trying to dispel that myth.

"There are only really two candidates running for president," she said. "The other is running for Green Party funding."

The Nader campaign plans a live simulcast of Nader's Super Rally in Washington D.C. Sunday night to college campuses across the country.

They also are asking supporters to paint campuses green to spread the message.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau 49 percent of youth aged 18 to 24 were registered to vote for the 1996 presidential campaign. The total number of young voters going to the polls however, was 32 percent.

The campaigns also might be battling apathy on the part of students with 43 percent of youth telling the Census Bureau that they were not interested or too bilsy to vote.

The Bush campaign is asking students to do grassroots work by educating students about the issues the Texas Governor finds important.

"It's a close race, every state matters, every vote matters and students play a role," Bush spokesman Ken Lisaius said.

"They're all excited about his

proposals."

DePaul University Junior Andy Kelly is one such excited student.

Kelly works about 40 per week as a volunteer for the Bush campaign.

"I try to let others know the position of Bush whenever I get the chance," Kelly said.

For Democratic candidate Al Gore's campaign, canvassing and dorm storms don't only mean roaming hallways giving stump speeches, they mean telling freshmen where the polls are and helping them get there, Friedman said.

"We want to make- freshmen aware of the location of polling places and of shuttles to make getting to the polls easier," said Friedman, who took a year off from Stanford University to work on the campaign. Gore workers are focusing their energies on Michigan and Wisconsin and Michigan, both same-day voter registration states.

Both major parties are looking for more exposure. If a "Gore 2000" sign is broadcast on television during a sporting event the Gore campaign told supporters that the school's Democrat group would get a pizza party. The Bush campaign is sticking closer to home with programs to discuss the debates and rallies to motivate students to vote, Kelly said. •

urdaugh Hall was the setting for a television commercial filmed on Nov. 2.

Microphones, cameras, lights and props filled the lobby while approximately two dozen crew members scurried about and adjusted furniture positions and light angles.

MidFirst Bank is producing a series of three testimonial commercials featuring satisfied MidFirst customers.

An area communications professor agreed to give a testimonial for the advertisement. Murdaugh's lobby was chosen for its architecture and collegiate

appearance.

Brothers & Co., the Tulsa advertising company who produced the commercial, scouted locations on the UCO campus on Oct. 27. Scenes in the commercial will also include areas near Old North.

John Suttee, writer and producer, said the professor's story was chosen among many examples of exceptional customer service. When the professor moved from California to teach in Oklahoma, a MidFirst employee was very helpful in transferring his account.

The commercial will begin airing in January 2001. •

ith the new class of 2004, colleges are getting their first look at the generation of students born in 1983, when the I.B.M. PC was also born.

In the years since, colleges have learned to cater to students who increasingly expect to use personal computers in the classroom, in the library, and anywhere else they happen to be on the campus.

"You need your own computer. The Liberal Arts computer lab is a hot room filled with people thinking about their weekends while they wait for the archaic machines to work," said Mike Downs, junior business major.

"You should get twice as long to do assignments if you have to do them on those pathetic things," he said.

WWF champ has no regrets about jumping ship Bi

Ric Russo

Wire Reporter

I

t has been a year since Jeff Jarrett walked away from a successful run with pro wrestling's top organization — the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). He was the WWF's Intercontinental Champion and a former World Tag Team titleholder, yet something was missing.

So Jarrett let his contract expire and jumped ship. One night after losing the IC belt to female grappler Chyna at the "No Mercy" pay-per-view, he inked a deal with World Championship Wrestling. It was a risky move, considering the shaky state of WCW, but one Jarrett felt like he had to make.

Would he make the same decision today?

"Definitely," said the man referred to in WCW circles as "The Chosen One." "All things considered, I think it's been a real positive move. Financially speaking, I got a real good deal and I've got a good opportunity to shine as one of the group's top wrestlers."

Sunday night Jarrett defeated Sting at the "Halloween Havoc" pay-per-view, with a little help from some friends — five Sting look-alikes who appeared at various times throughout the

the powerhouse WWF and the struggling WCW. "The WWF machine is under the complete control of Vince McMahon. The buck stops right there at his desk," Jarrett said.

"Here it's sort of helter-skelter; who's in charge this week? Brad Siegel is the boss, but he runs five networks and (WCW) is just one show."

To turn things around, Jarrett says, the person put in charge needs total backing from corporate.

If McMahon's bid for WCW fails, Eric Bischoff is someone Jarrett thinks could do good things.

"He's got a good track record here. Remember, not too long ago WCW was beating WWF in the ratings and at the box office," he said. "Bischoff was the man in those days.

For WCW to have any chance of regaining its lost luster, the organization needs more performers like Jarrett, willing to do whatever it takes to get WCW back on top.. In this business, you never know how many chances you're going to get to grab the spotlight.

"I try to sit down and reevaluate my position every year," Jarrett said of his future. "I'm still a relatively young man, but if I decide things aren't fun anymore, who knows, I might try something else." •

Nader voters to help Bush?

Minnesota vote up in the air

BY MARIA RECTO

Wire Reporter

R

alph Nader's surging campaign is shaking up the presidential race so much that even in Minnesota, arguably the most independent-minded of states, people are rethinking whom they're going to support.

"I was a 'for sure' Nader voter from the beginning, down to the bumper sticker and everything," said Paul Winkelaar, an official with the St. Paul housing agency.

But Democratic Party warnings that the growing Nader vote would tip the state to Republican George W. Bush prompted second thoughts.

"I'm not going to give my vote to George Bush," said Winkelaar, who peeled his Nader bumper sticker off his green 1997 Saturn.

Green Party nominee Nader is running in the single digits in national polls. But he is winning support from enough disgruntled liberals and others keen to protest politics as usual — votes that otherwise would go largely to Vice President Al Gore — that he could tilt the presidential election to Bush, analysts said. Nader's votes could deny Gore victory in such closely contested states as

Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, Washington and Minnesota, where Nader campaigned Tuesday.

When asked how he feels about the possibility that he might be responsible for Gore's loss and Bush's victory, Nader replied: "It's not my job to elect my competitors. If Al Gore cannot beat a bumbling Republican governor of Texas for six years, with his horrible track record, what good is he?" His comments came at a news conference at the University of Minnesota.

Later, at a town hall gathering, responding to the same question, he said: "George W. Bush will be as damaging as his father was in the late '80s. He's no Genghis Khan.

He doesn't know much. He's lazy and he avoids conflict. These are all assets."

With polls showing Nader at 10 percent in Minnesota, panicky Democrats are urging liberals to make the "smart vote" for Gore.

"We are not saying it's a wasted vote" to support Nader, said Karen Boothe, communications director for the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, as the Democratic Party is known in the state. However, she added, "in a close election, the electorate must choose wisely." •

BY DAVE THE GREAT, STAFF MYSTIC RETRACTION—For my internet readers who log on to www.thevistaonline.com from Southeastern University: last week my column may have erroneously reported you would have a good week. It should have said "you will get your butt whomped by a herd of Bronchos, causing you to wet the bed for years to come.

The Vista regrets the error.

You people who read my column have been sending less hate mail than usual lately. This hurts and offends me because without hate mail, I can't function. Please e-mail me at the address below.

ARIES : ( MARCH 21 - APRIL 19 ) Your continuing obsession with the cast of Charmed will begin to take its toll on you this week, when you start a fight with a person who can not remember the name of the actress who is neither Shannon Dougherty nor Alyssa Millano.

TAURUS : ( APRIL 20 - MAY 20 ) With the waxing moon in its second quarter, your popularity will be on the rise. Or it could be the fact that you used soap for the first time.

Avoid talking to Aries about television this week.

Saturday afternoon's full moon will provide you with a chance for advancement and success, but you will probably just screw it up.

LEO : ( JULY 23 - AUG 22 ) The lettuce on your Big Macu will not cancel out all the sugar, fat and cholesterol you cram-down the rest of the week.

VIRGO : ( AUG 23 - SEPT 22 ) With Halloween over, you will find yourself bombarded with Ch ristmas decorations everywhere you go, causing you to have an emotional breakdown.

LIBRA : ( SEPT 23 - OCT 23 ) The moon's ascension to Pisces this week will cause you to have an

DOWN 1 Supermarket carriage 2 Charming 3 Loman's job 4 Mosaic pieces 5 Lanka 6 Sock pattern 7 Lasso

overwhelmingly happy mood. Or it could be drugs.

SCORPIO : (OCT 24 - NOV 21) Avoid the zoo or any pet stores until you get a haircut.

SAGITTARIUS : ( NOV 22 - DEC 21 ) Most of the people who send me hate mail regarding this column are Sagittarius', so I asked your stars to rough you up for me.

Sorry Pisces, but I ran out of room for your horoscope again. This is the last time, I promise. Really. What, don't you trust me?
