Reckless living

Your Birthdate: August 22

While sometimes employing unorthodox approaches, you are capable of handling large scale undertakings. You assume great responsibility and work long and hard toward completion. Often, especially in the early part of life, there is rigidity or stubbornness, and a tendency to repress feelings. Idealistic, you work for the greater good with a good deal of inner strength and charisma. An extremely capable organizer, but likely to paint with broad strokes rather than detail. You are very aware and intuitive. You are subject to a good deal of nervous tension.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Stole this from Receptionista etc.

Things like this always make me wonder: do we read it and pick out the things that sound like ourselves and say "Wow! That's so right on!" and ignore the parts that aren't 'us'? Or is there actually a little something to it? I was trying different dates, like my duedate and when my mom actually went into labor, and I could pick stuff out of them, but nothing quite as right as stubbornness, repressed feelings, organization...blah blah blah.

Here, for instance, is the day my mom went into labor (and when I might have been born had we been at a hospital):

Your Birthdate: August 20

Your birth on the 20th day of the month adds a degree of emotion, sensitivity, and intuition to your reading. The 2 energy provided here is very social, allowing you to make friends easily and quickly. Yet you are apt to have a rather nervous air in the company of a large group. You have a warmhearted nature and emotional understanding that constantly seeks affection. You are very prone to become depressed and moody, as emotions can turn inward and cause anxiety and mental turmoil. It can be hard for you to bounce back to reality when depression sets in. When things are going well, you can go just as far the other way and become extremely affectionate.

Depressed and moody? Not really. Very social? Um. Extremely affectionate? Not so much. Some of this reads like what I'd like to be - warmhearted, affectionate, making friends easily. Stuff I work on. But not qualities that are inherent to me.

In other news, I'm putting my guardian angel to work. I left my keys in my car. Overnight. In a neighborhood prone to petty theft. My old neighbors had their car stolen. People are always rifling through my car. But last night - someone was keeping an eye out. And when I panicked this morning when I couldn't find my keys, there they were. Safe and sound.
