I second Cancer for Tygr. Come on, SOMEONE try mine! I’ll give you a hint. If you guess my birth year, you’ll get my Chinese sign wrong. ---

If you guess my birth year, you’ll get my Chinese sign wrong. \*\* Well, then I’ll take the easy guess of Capricorn, although Aquarius could fit the bill, and occasionally maybe Pisces. And I’ll guess that your Chinese sign is Dog or Rooster. ---

I’m going to join the many wondering what the hell people think of me. I’d love to hear what people think I am, without knowing first. (But I babble enough pretty much anyone I’ve babbled at has probably been told. I’m trusting and social like that.) For other people, I really can only remember my own sign and a few others. I’m not very good at this. I don’t even know my Chiese year… ---

Can anyone post a list? \*\* Here’s a link to a [Chinese Calendar](http://found.cs.nyu.edu/liaos/calendar.html). You may have to look across a couple of years since your birthday is in the beginning. The New Year is based on the lunar calendar, IIRC. ---
