Dragon Lady

I always call my mean teacher face, the "Dragon Lady" because when I was little I decided that I don't fit my western zodiac profile AT ALL, but my Chinese sign is the Dragon, and the brief description on the paper placemats at Henry's Chinese (my grandpa's favourite place) seemed to fit.

Over the years I have had a fond place in my heart for the dragon symbol, and people have gifted dragons to me over the years when they know this about me...it's kind of cool.

However, tonight I am working on a little project for a party tomorrow...party favours for people who attend, "Karie's Favourite Things" in a little bag, so I thought it would be fun to throw in a little dragon info. Do I have this kind of free time? Nope. Anyhow, I can not believe what I found. It is so SPOOKILY ACCURATE. If you know me at all personally, you will have to tell me what you think. Sadly, my compatible sign is NOT Matt's (he is the dog), but c'est la vie. Check it out:

"The DRAGON is the only legendary animal symbol and mightiest of the signs. Dominant, ambitious, and prefer to live by their own rules. Honest, sensitive, and brave, these individuals are most compatible with Snakes, Monkeys, Roosters, and Rats. Dragons will give into love, but retain independence. Because of their vengeful natures, partners need to be thick-skinned. Dragons prefer those they find intriguing. Dragons are passionate in all they do and do things in grand fashion, but this passion and enthusiasm oddly leaves them unfulfilled and exhausted. Will help others, but rarely ask for help. Specifically FIRE DRAGON (me) is yang in nature. Its motion is upward and expansive. It is associated with Summer, South, hot weather, and the colour red (extremely lucky), planet Mars, and daylight.

Fire attributes are considered to be dynamism, strength, and persistence, however also connected to restlessness. They react quickly and recklessly. Warm, enthusiastic, and creative, however excess may turn into aggression, impatience, and impulsive behaviour. While provides heat and warmth, can also burn. Associated organs are the heart, tongue, and the body's pulse. These people are healthy, energetic, excitable, stubborn, and short-tempered. They inspire confidence and trust. They tend to be soft-hearted, which means others may take advantage of them.

Um...whoa. I'm having a reflective moment. Uh, yah. I'm not saying this sums me up, but nothing I read tonight on multiple web sites is inaccurate. I just like to think I'm even more complex than this. Oh right. Lastly, dragons tend to put themselves on pedestals. Oops.
