So this is another one of those me-me-mes where you're supposed to cross out anything that doesn't apply to you.

And I can't cross out anything. Not really. Maybe impatient? No, I'm horribly impatient. (One reason I end up doing so much by myself, probably, I can't stand waiting for someone else to do it for me.) Maybe irresistable? And look at all those accurate ego barbs! Oh, yeah. I bolded some...

I found particularly telling this line: Contrary to all this strength and fire, a weakened Dragon is a sad sack, a creature that refuses to take defeat with even a modicum of grace.

Heh... yeah, that's true, too.

Yay Dragon! K. is a dragon by birth year. I'm only one by temperament. Some of the good ones and some of the bad ones. ;)

You know, 'arrogant' is not a word I ever would have applied to you, Ellen, much less bolded.

Did you know that your list of Chinese signs (above) isn't the same as the signs at the URL you listed? Your list has Boar, theirs has pig, which could be same. Yours has sheep but no goat, and is lacking the rat and there maybe another one too....I'd be curious to see what mine is on your list...1972. :)

Huh! That's what I get for blindly copy-pasting. I don't know where the list originally came from!
