year of the ox.


Everyone keeps talking about Chinese zodiac signs so I did a little research of our signs and here's what I found (via wikipedia.)

Me(sheep)--The Sheep, Goat, or Ram, is thought to be the most artistic or creative sign of the zodiac. The Sheep is artistically talented and has a great sense of fashion. These people think before acting, and try not to hurt anyone's feelings. If it ever happens that the Sheep person causes unforeseen problems, it is very likely that he/she will step forward to rectify the situation. This side of their character helps them maintain a healthy social life as well as enabling them to deal with life's ups and downs.

Ammon(dragon)--The dragon is omnipotent. They are attractive and full of vitality and strength. In China, the dragon is the symbol of power and wealth. It would be right to say that people born in the year of the dragon have a natural charisma and are certainly gifted with power and luck. It is unlikely for them to escape unnoticed from a party or to take second place in a competition. The dragon person has an active mind and shows an unfeigned interest in the world around them. This person is also self-confident enough to know how to create a necessary impression. Dragon people are egotistical, self-aggrandizing, and ambitious. They will stop at nothing to get what they want.

Carly(horse)--The horse personality is often willing to give as well as expect a lot of liberty. These people are extremely independent and confident. The horse person is very quick-witted, inquisitive and determined. They are very good at recognizing patterns: she or he is on to the thought in your mind even before you've expressed it. In general, these people are gifted.They adore being the center of everyone's attention, but they prefer to be recognized for their skills and are easily flattered.

Wesley(dog)--Like his animal namesake, he is loyal. He is the one who people are most likely to turn to when they need help. The dog person will come through every time. That is because he/she is sensitive to others and empathizes with them, particularly if someone has suffered an injustice; he/she reacts quickly with the same feeling as though he/she had been personally offended. Friends know that they can rely upon their Dog friend to keep a promise or remain cool in a crisis.Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dogs are also considered to be extremely good looking, smart, graceful, likeable and nice.

I'm not a huge believer in these things, but I will say that some of these characteristics are spot on!

So, what's your Chinese zodiac?
Do you think it describes your personality?

I don't know how it works. I was born in the year of the monkey (I think?) but my birthday makes me a rabbit. I think one thing in each of the descriptions could describe me a little, so I don't know what I am. I like your description though, I thought it was pretty true to you!

First I thought I was a Ram; way more me, then I saw I was a monkey...not so flattering, but some things are true (the others probably are too, but I deny it)
