Ok so I am a day late… but I still wanted to say it anyway. I am curious as to what everyone’s animal sign is. [http://cat.nyu.edu/liaos/calendar.html](http://cat.nyu.edu/liaos/calendar.html) * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature! ---

And the descriptions here: [http://lukerussell.homepage.com/](http://lukerussell.homepage.com/) tell me to “Stop going around being so heartbreakingly attractive.” Can’t argue with that 🙂 ---

fire horse-- already knew that, but was curious abt. descriptions: one thing we horse people always remember from our chinese restaurant placemats is that we’re good-looking-- i found this “fact” lacking in the description link-- must have been an oversight (sigh). i’m also familiar with a legend that horse daughters were considered unlucky marriage partners (leading to a man’s untimely death), so their parents would lie about these daughters’ birth dates. some traditional couples to this day plan pregnancy to avoid birth during the horse years. * * * the hog squeal of the universe is coming from my modem! ---

I’m an Earth Horse. I never knew about this fire/water/earth thing before. I’ve known I was a horse forever, though. I’m also a Leo under the Sun, which I think is a cooler sign. * * * ~Harborina “This is my sandbox. I’m not allowed to go in the deep end. That’s where I saw the leprechauns.” ---
