October 24, The Day of Sensational Detail. Kevin Kline was born on this day. Those born on October 24 have two major themes in their lives: that of dramatic revelations and discoveries, on the one hand, and painstaking attention to detail on the other. As they are hardly cold, analytical types, those born on this day generally feel the need to reveal themselves and their discoveries to the world, often in an exciting, even flamboyant manner. Yet most are not exhibitionists by any means, rather craftspeople and professionals who take their work very seriously, particularly from a technical point of view. (Simon?) The influence they work on those who watch or listen to them is calculated to impact as they wish. Not the least of their talents is a personal magnetism which aids in getting people interested in them and what they do. (Well, maybe Kaylee!)

What do you think? Did you take the Firefly personality test? If so, what did it say??



Thank you for getting back to me.
I'd have to agree with taking my work seriously, and the attention to detail bit. However, the character test says something new every time I take it... (The first time, I was Zoe! XD I expected to be told Book, Simon, or (maybe) River!)
Edit- 'Hardly cold, analytical types'? Maybe I'm the exception that proves the rule...

MAL: Just the ones I'm better than."

SIMON: Yes, I'm very proud."

August 19, The Day of Startling Surprises. Gene Roddenberry shares your birthday. Those born on August 19 are often taken up with life themes regarding both concealing and revealing information not only about themselves but also others. Sometimes this information is not personal but concerns objective areas of scientific, philosophical or natural interest. After keeping something quiet for a period of time, an August 19 person will often relveal it in a grand manner.

Those born on this day can be difficult to pin down. Just when it seems one has them figured out, they evade the parameters set for them. Thus those born on August 19 may unfairly suffer from a reputation for unreliability or untrustworthiness. The key to understanding them lies in why they have such a great need to remain obscure on some occasions and reveal themselves so fully on others.

Paladin, you're a complex character! I'm guessing you'd fit a combination of a few Firefly characters. Which ones do you figure?


Thanks for the description Elwoodmom! I've always seen myself as having the silent strength of Book, good nature of Kaylee, and Mal's dedication.

Here goes: September 22, The Day of Restless Drive. Joan Jett shares your birthday, in case you're old enough to remember her!

Those born on September 22 have a restless drive to begin all sorts of new projects. Usually they bring the one they are working on to completion but immediately set out on a new one without rest. They are also capable of handling several projects at the same time. Those born on this day have a low boredom threshold, and consequently demand challenging people and situations. They can be outgoing and dynamic types at one time, and solitary and unapproachable at another. In either case, their strong character is unmistakable.

Often September 22 people oscillate between an offensive and defensive posture. In one sense, such postures may be one and the same since a good offense is the best defense and vice-versa.

Hmmm, are you a type-A person? I think you bring out the best work ethic of all characters. Your opinion?



Thanks, Elwoodmom!

As far as how I chose my name, I use TerribleTink a lot -- I chose it because Tink is my husband's nickname for me because I always liked Tinkerbell when I was little. (I grew up in a Disney-obsessed family and I think she was the only female character I saw that wasn't a typical damsel-in-distress fairy tale princess.) I put "Terrible" on there because I like that part of Tink -- sure, she was a cute little pixie, and loyal if you didn't make her put up with too much. But if you go and bring home a chick named Wendy, she's going to tell the pirates exactly where you are.

I do remember Joan Jett - in fact, I think I Love Rock 'n' Roll was one of the first albums I ever got. (Yeah, that dates me )

This definitely describes me at work. I am the queen of multi-tasking, and I do get easily bored and want to move on to new things. LOL -- just accepted a new position yesterday in fact.

When I took the personality quiz I got Wash, which surprised me. I don't think I'm *quite* that easy-going, but I think that the quiz results were a bit off because of all the fighting questions. (Yeah, I chose the "run and hide" variation a lot.)

Thanks for doing this. The Day of Restless Drive -- I really like that!!!!

Matthew Broderick was born on your birthday. March 21 is a pivotal day of the year, traditionally marking the first day of spring and the vernal equinox on which day and night are of equal length. Its characteristics must always be seen as primary in nature. In keeping with their symbolic heritage, March 21 people tend to have forthright and essential personalities, rather than complex or ultra-sensitive ones. They are often misunderstood by others, who find them unwilling or unable to fit into the ordinary social mold. This is because they live life purely on their own terms, an attitude that extends into even the simplest of their everyday actions, tasks and responsibilities.

Although they may have a touch of the dreamer about them, March 21 people usually have a practical side that outweighs their fanciful tendencies. They have a genius for setting up organizations and structures, but somehow things never turn out quite as they expect.

A touch Mal here? Who else? Let me know what you think. Too bad Book is so mysterious, it's dawned on me that he'll probably not get compared to anyone!



Wow...that does sound a lot like me, or at least some of the personality traits...

Thanks very much .

Hi, nice to you!

December 4th, The Day of Fortitude. Jeff Bridges was born on this day. Those born on December 4 are gutsy, aggressive individuals who have the courage to go for it, heart and soul. Pain, conflict and struggle are no strangers to them and they may repeatedly be faced with the challenge of great difficulties and overwhelming odds. (Mal all the way!) Nonetheless, they stand a fairly good chance of achieving their far-reaching goals through an unusual combination of grace and vitality, all the while being careful not to incite jealousy in others. Many born on this day, however, have a knack for instilling fear in the most powerful of adversaries, or at least a worrying sense of anxiety. It must be said that a certain ruthlessness of purpose often accompanies this day, and the enemies of December 4 people probably sense that little if any mercy will be afforded them. Okay, you're scaring me now. What is the man's name who tortures Mal and Wash? I wish I could instill fear in someone!

December 4 people can display touches of egomanical and sociopathic tendencies, but fortunately such urges rarely come to dominate their personality. Normally their ideals and beliefs remain uncorrupted and they often put themselves in service of some higher human, political or artistic cause. Indeed, they will sacrifice their own comfort and security for what they believe.

What do you think? Sounds like you're a cut-above!

That sounds more like me. I give away all my money if I didn't have to eat. Eating is great. I love food. Great job mom!
