This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius...
I decided to put my age in my Blogger profile, more to remind myself than anything else. No, seriously. On my birthday last year my coworkers were asking me how old I was. I told everyone I had just turned 31. I went on believing that for the rest of the day, until I got home and opened a birthday card from an old classmate that said, “I can’t believe we’re 32 now.” I was all, “Really? Oh, but, I thought… really?” I did the math and she was right, I was wrong.
Understand this is coming from a girl who relies on her watch to tell her if it’s Thursday or Friday.
Of more interest though is the Chinese zodiac sign that they list if you put your birth year into your profile. I’m the year of the Ox—slow, methodical, reliable, stable, strong, reserved, not very creative, and stubborn. I’m also an Aries by the monthly zodiac—courageous, outgoing, likeable, creative, impatient, headstrong, high energy and initiative, and… stubborn. My two signs are almost like polar opposites, and yet I find I’m a weird combination of both. But they both have one thing in common: I’m stubborn, stubborn stubborn!
