I keep reading all these people growling because they’re Leos, and it reminds of something she used to say all the time. “Rahr (she didn’t roar or growl. She actually said ‘Rahr’)…I’m a lion!” It was so bizarre and so endearing.

August 8. The eighhth day of the eighth month just makes it that much easier to fill in the day/month on forms.

Yeah, well, if that doesn’t sum up us Leos, nothing will. Bizarre and endearing, that’s us, right?

August 5, way too many years ago. Are Leos endearing? I always thought we were obnoxious, though definitely bizarre. But then, I do have self esteem problems. (Too little, not too much, in case you were wondering.)

July 24. Hi, Juniper2000.  
(I think astrology is a bunch of hooey, though. Hey, is skepticism supposed to be one of our traits?)

As an Aquarian, I’m interested in all of life, including my feline brothers and sisters. Why are you so unhappy?

That’s fine. Or you can email it to me if you’d like to be a little more discreet about it. [daredevilcomic@hotmail.com](mailto:daredevilcomic@hotmail.com)

I thought for a bit I was the only person who has an August 8th birthday. When I look at who was born on the 8th, it is no I know. And I couldn’t have said better hoow cool it is to be the eighth of the eighth month. I always thought it would be cool to have been born 8/8/88. But alas I was five years off.

So count me as a Leo.
