Oliver was a cancer, so what was Emily?


I think she was a Scorpio. What do you guys think?

Scorpios and Cancers would get along effortlessly, but I think she was a more flighty Gemini, even the way her personality and preferences changed so much over a few years.


Too bad they couldn't "fix" the 3rd strike. They cleared the 1st and 2nd when she realized that he did make the first move and when he learned to play the guitar.

Ugh, bummer. My other posts were deleted when my original IMDB handle was compromised and self-deleted. I can't remember exactly what I said in this thread, but I figure for Cancer to be the wrong sign for Emily, she most likely is not a fellow water sign (so no fellow Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces) and is an air or fire sign. Gemini is a good guess, but I could see her being Sagittarius with her flakiness. Of course, she could just not fancy Cancer, and that was a sign she wants to steer clear from. Not only am I an earth sign, but I'm supposed to be the best one with Cancer--Virgo--and I don't jive well with Cancer signs in romance, and if I put enough stock in striking someone for a sign, Cancer would be in my top three. I definitely don't see Emily as any of the earth signs though based on how her character was written.

Scorpios as far as I have been told are passionate and sentimental about things, fiercely loyal towards loved ones but incredibly argumentative and combative. Oh, and with a malicious streak.

I didn't believe in zodiac mumbo jumbo until one girlfriend described a Scorpio and I realised that it does pretty much sum me up, I get wrapped up in and attached to things or people easily, I could never betray someone in a million years even if they hurt me, but I also take things personal and won't let something drop without a fight which can lead to saying stuff I shouldn't.

Said girlfriend thought I was attentive and sweeter than most guys, but an utter *beep* when we fought. The sweet with the sour I suppose, we can't all be Ghandi.
