Kung Hei Fat Choi!
 

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous year of the rat!!
I'm really really missing all the Chinese and Vietnamese folks I used to work with right now, we always had a mondo good potluck for lunar New Year. But I'll still make myself some long uncut noodles in soup to eat tomorrow!!

I'm missing my grandma's sushi fest right about now. I wonder if she'll even do it the way she used to without me being in the house...

OMG is that tomorrow?! Oh, wow.


I was born in the year of the rat, and it's auspicious that it's rat year again. I recently made a good friend who was also a rat-year birth ... and he gave me a lovely Rat Totem to commemorate our upcoming rat re-ascension.


YAY!

I'm a tiger (when i want love. I'm a snake when I disagree).

Year of the Tiger here, mrowrrr... :)

Have a prosperous New Year everybody! :D

I'm a Dragon. I kid you not!

There's only a penny in there for everyone to share.

The year of the rat? Oh, yeah, I remember!

There I was, face to face with the biggest, ugliest rat I have ever seen!

I looked around for a weapon but all I could find was my camera. So I started hitting the thing over the head repeatedly. It let out this awful squeal like a prepubescent boy.

Then Security detained me for four hours. I'm never to set foot on Disneyland Resort property again, and I'll be hearing from their lawyers soon.

Oh? Not THAT year of the rat?

Sorry, never mind! :blush:

Since I'm a Rat, I found this interesting tidbit, for €uroMeinke, from Wikipedia:


Heheheh. :evil:

I am apparently incompatible with rats.

I'm an ox.

I'm a Year-O-Rat, too.
Gotta get some tangerines!

I am an Earth Horse. OOooh.. fancy.

Interestingly, I have a lot of monkeys and horses in my family, with a few dogs and roosters in between... we're quite the menagerie.

Oddly, I realize I tend to go for those in the year of the Rabbit, and apparently, it's not really the best match - though I'd beg to differ.

We know that. What Chinese astrological animal are you?

:D

I am the Metal Ox!

sounds freakishly cool..and after reading it....frighteningly accurate

I'm a water rat-so this is my year too- :)

Fire Horse here.

I'm a sheep (baa ram ewe!) married to an Ox.

To be specific, I am a Metal Rat.

Those born right around now, at the very beginning of the beginning of the 12-year cycle, they are water rats.


Welcome to our Supreme Ratness. It's a year for renewal and patient progress. Enjoy!

Dragon

I can't remember what I am (it is one of two things). I think my brain is only willing to hold one piece of horoscope tomfoolery about myself and it is stuck with remembering I'm a Virgo and that's why every time I relearn whether I'm a tiger or a dragon I quickly forget again.

Fire Snake.

Wooden Tiger.

From wikipedia: ...like my armpit? my left middle toe? Suddenly I have this image of myself as an apple with a mushy spot.

And, I'm an Ox married to a Sheep. :)

I am the Fish Pig!

:D

Pisces and Year of the Pig or Boar.

Here's a picture of me and Elaine Ferguson from Kent, WA.

I apparently should be working at a rodeo as I'm a Taurus/Horse. Earth Horse.

And according to Wiki, I'm completely incompatible with my Snake of a wife.

How does one find out if they're Earth etc or not?

edit:
Never mind. I figured it out on wiki.
I'm a Water.

I'm a Watery Fish Pig.

:D

The Wiki page Steve linked has it. Click your sign on the right.

Ah, I was on the wrong Wiki page. I'm a Metal Pig.
Sounds like a cool graphic novel.

I'm a Metal Fish Pig.
:)

Ha ha! I think we're the exact same ox year and sheep year!!

Susan is Capricorn and I am Sagittarius. We are supposed to be incompatible.

I am not sure of her Chinese Astrological sign as her birthday is January 9, 1967. I am pretty sure that would make her a Horse, but I can't find the verification. (1967 is actually the year of the Sheep, but her birthday comes before the Chinese New Year, so that is why Horse.)

I looked: Susan is a Fire Horse and I am a Wood Dragon.

She's a Horse. Year of the Horse: 1/21/66-2/8/67

BTW: Today is actually Chinese New Year's Eve ... so we can play this game all day tomorrow, too!

I like playing this game...

I am an Earthy Virgo Horse.

And for the most part, the wiki seems to have me pretty 'down-pat' ish. Kind of. In that horoscopes always sound right kind of way. Except, I am actually an excellent secret-keeper. At least the really good secrets are kept. Lame ones are let loose, lest they infect the others with their lameness.

It looks like I'm a fire horse. My son found it amusing that I'm incompatible with him and his father:evil: Does that mean I can leave now?! He said not 'til he's gone!! lol

I'm a Fire Horse - hmmm.

OMG! I was there! I totally saw you in person when we were in Seattle!

Yin Metal Ox

Me too!

I'm a Wood Tiger... there's a bad joke in there somewhere. :)

Fire Snake, supposedly, but if you read what my personality is supposed to be it seems I wasn't really born then

CP - Wow, from an outsider's perspective, I'd say a lot of it sounds pretty accurate. Passionate, intelligent, strong, persistent... someone that requires the kind of mental exercise I see you engaging in all of the time. I don't generally buy into that kind of thing - but... yours seems to be the way I've viewed you from moment 1.

Of course, how we present ourselves outwardly doesn't always reflect the insecurity and shyness that we might feel on a regular basis. I know that regularly, I'm seen as someone who is very outgoing and conversational, when, for the most part, I'm rather shy until I know I like someone (which is a rather stringent sort of issue with me. I'm nice, I don't like everyone...)

Fire Dragon here

I'm a Water Tiger. i need to go to the San Diego Zoo and commune with the Fishing Cat.

I'm a fire monkey. I am also a Virgo. And it's rather scary when you compare monkeys with Virgos, there are an awful lot of things that the two have in common when you read descriptions!
I'll be going down to the International District this weekend, weather permitting to see the dragon dancers!
