Can anyone guess mine? Both my Chinese year-sign and my zodiac sign seem to fit me pretty well, though the idea that everyone born in a certain year or month would have the same basic personality is pretty ridiculous. ---

Oh, gawd, **Esprix** , I just have to say that I read your scorpion thread and almost peed my pants. I feel your pain, I truly do. I am so sorry that happened. I would have screamed. You should have screamed and then it would have awakened your flatmates. That would have been funny. 🙂 Just the other day I came back from a vacation in a foresty area. I was in the truck, in the back seat with my dad driving. All of a sudden I see a reddish-brown spider crawling on the back of his seat. I screamed and he swerved. It was lucky that we didn’t get in an accident, being on a curvy mountain highway and all. Well, then it climbed under his sheepskin seatcovers and we couldn’t figure out a way to get it out. He had to just keep driving, even thought the thought weirded him out. I was just keeping my legs off the floor just in case it decided to do some recreational activities. Fastforward an hour. My mom (riding shotgun) screams this time and opens her window. She is shaking her hand outside and says, “It was a spider. I think it was the same one.” I was only hoping that it died and didn’t hang on outside the truck. Ewwww… ---

No one’s guessed me yet. **dlgirl** is disqualified since she already knows. Come on, everybody! ---

Okay, **Superdude** I will guess. Ummm…using the same scientific method I used with **Esprix** I am going to guess that you are a…LEO! Come on, you know I’m right;) ---

I’m gonna say that **Tygr** is a Saggitatrius and a Rooster in the Chinese Zodiac. Some one has yet to correctly guess me. Here’s a hint: I’m not a Leo or a Gemini. I think those have been guessed already. ---

Wanna try mine? I’m convinced I was born under the wrong star sign, so I’d like to see what you people think of me. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by bobevilsquid \* > \*\*I’m gonna say that **Tygr** is a Saggitatrius and a Rooster in the Chinese Zodiac. \*\* Nope. If you want a broad hint, there’s a reason I don’t pay attention to astrology - it’s because I really dislike my sign, both the symbol and the name. Chinese Zodiac? Gosh, it’s been so long since I’ve been to a Chinese restaurant that has it printed on their placemats, I don’t really remember. If yer really curious, a very sweet poster did throw me a birthday party here earlier this year. I’d love to play, but as I said, I really know nothing about astrology - signs and their associated personalities. I’d do better by tossing darts at a calendar. Hey, **bobevilsquid** , since I know nothing about this bid’ness, I’m curious as to why you to choose that? ---
