My birthday is this week! I will be 26 years old. I am excited about this one. Not sure why though.. Maybe I am hoping that some type of new maturity will come over me.. maybe I hope that another year older will make me look at least one year older than 18.. maybe I hope that at 26 life will slow down. Although none of that will happen, I am a mature 18 year old looking 25 year old at this moment.. bahaha.. so maybe I am not always mature, maybe I have days where I look 16 but who cares right?
So I found a website that tells you about "yourself" based on the date that you were born.. I was born on the 23rd
Now to read what they have to say about me based on the 23rd.
my opinions about what they say are in bold print.
You love change and excitement and need both to feel truly alive. change? excitement? this already is going to be interesting evaluation of myself.
For you, life is an adventure, to be lived to the fullest. You don't want to be cheated from having your share of experience. as for an adventure.. I guess all moments and experiences are adventures, living to the fullest? I'm not an exciting person my fullest and their fullest might be different.
You are highly adaptable, haha yea right.. which makes change a great deal easier for you than for others. change? don't mind it but I dont choose it. I drive the same rout where ever I go no matter what. If the rout changes, I freak out a little. (or a lot) You have an easy way with relationships and generally get along well with most people you meet. indeed.. this is true
You have a gift for communication and promoting yourself. You possess talent in verbal and writing skills, and would make an excellent writer, editor, or salesperson. I hate sales! I like to write and talk though
You are quite affectionate and sensitive. they nailed the sensitive part. I can cry at the drop of a hat for no reason at all. You work well with others as long as there are not too many restrictions placed upon you. maybe true. I work well with others but I like direction and rules. You do not like to be cooped up in the same place for long; you get restless and bored easily. nope.. I don't get bored at all and being cooped up is enjoyable to me. restless? only when it is time to actually sleep
You are versatile and talented and there are few things you can not do. yea.. ok.. You have a very sharp mind and a fine understanding of the body, which makes careers in medicine or health both possible and rewarding. woohoo!! I do enjoy science .. math not so much!
You are very creative and witty. I am witty. I come up with things all the time, ideas... sayings.. heck, kristen and I even rap.. that could go with creative as well! Creative = crafts? Any day of the week! But you can shirk responsibility and let your gift of gab get you through the tight spots. yes, true. I get the job done 90% of the time in every aspect of my life. I'd like to say 99% of the time but I don't want to let you in on my ego.. There can be a tendency toward sensorial indulgence, especially in food, alcohol, and sex. that was random. You need to learn to focus your considerable energies. Discipline and order are necessities for you to be successful in life. yes, my life must have discipline and order!
All in all I think it might be true. There are a few things that are total opposite of me.. like the excitement part. I'd rather stay safe. I don't really like the feeling of adrenaline.. you know that feeling in your stomach when you are jumping from a Cliff.. nope not me.. not ever!!
