If you like your bacon limp

Your existential angst is intimidating to others, but those close to you know that it's all a façade. Vulnerability is a good look on you, so seek out situations that will force you out of your comfort zone. Maybe a yoga class? Or capoeira?

If you like your bacon made of turkey

Friends admire your commitment to activism and fighting the good fight, but avoid jumping onto your soapbox for every perceived slight. When you prioritize principles over relationships, you'll discover that friendships soon turn fowl. Tonight: Stay home and think about what you've done.

If you like your bacon microwaved

Don't listen to the naysayers—you're not lazy, just pragmatic. You'll receive some backlash at work for your unconventional methods, but rest easy in the knowledge that history will prove you right. Stay grounded and look for opportunities to clean up after yourself. Messes you made in the past may come back to haunt you in the future. Also, paper towels are your friend.

If you like your bacon thick cut

Your vivacious nature and generosity of spirit make you a popular party guest, but take heed: There is more to you than meets the eye. If an attractive stranger enters your life, do not engage—they want something from you that you cannot provide. (Kidneys. They want to harvest your kidneys.)

If you like your bacon Canadian

Your stock continues to rise. People value your gentle soul and appreciate your open mind, but in your haste to please others, you sometimes forget to please yourself.
