haha. That's great. Don't know how accurate it is, considering I've never really been in a relationship (stupid college guys not asking me out) but I guess I could see it in other aspects of my life. Thanks muchly. 
As far as FF goes, it seems a bit Zoe-ish to me. Not in the desire for awards, credit, or rank, but nore in the single-minded determination. It also seems Inara-y, what with the
Quote:
invariably involved in relationships and careers where there is a mutual attraction/magnetism working with the object of their desire. There is a fatalistic cast to the lives of July 6 people in that life decisions sometimes seem less like choices than inevitabilities for them.
That seems rather Inara to me, and considering that FF personality test had me as 72% Inara, guess it's more accurate than I first thought.

People, you should be ashamed of yourselves. That was entirly the worst slow clap ever. Sense you don't know though, i've prepaired a handy guide to refer to for all your slow clapping needs.
History of the slow clap:
The slow clap was invented or discoverd or coined or something, by somebody in theater at my high school a long time ago.
When to use the slow clap:
Instance 1) - when somebody messes up (really badly or less badly, use your discresion) Example - Bob has tripped and fallen on his face. This is a good time for a passing friend to point, laugh, and begen a slow clap.
Instance 2) - When somebody does something so immesely cool, that it must be honored with a round of applause. Example - Mom has spent a lot of time and energy typing things for you. This is very worthy of a rousing slow clap.
How to slow clap:
1)Stand up
2) One person begins claping very slowly
3) As more people join in the clap, it gains speed untill it is a rousing round of applause.
4) Wistle, shout, and stamp your feet as needed.
Got it people? Now lets try this again. On your feet troops!
CLAP!

April, 6th, The Day of the Experimenter. Harry Houdini shares your birthday. Those born on April 6 have an irresistible urge to experiment with what they find around them. In this respect they are scientific, peering and probing into all corners of emotional, physical and psychological matters. Nothing is free from their scrutiny, and they will go to any length to find out the truth about something or to see how it works. Many born on this day not only bring a childlike curiosity to bear, but also demonsttrate an ability to lead the way in producing hightly original material.
Even in the most mundane areas, including for instance everyday business or workday life, these tireless seekers will find out what is wrong (for there is always something wrong) and try to correct it. Their basic underlying drive is to get to the bottom of things.
I know you're a guy, but your bio reminds me of Kaylee's work ethic regarding Serenity. Wash too. What do you think? How does the Western vesion add up to the Chinese?
Can Ebo and I form a "I'm not a Guy" club? 'Cause I'm not. I may be trained to kick b*tt and take names later, but I can also use feminine wiles to get my way. My (retired Marine) husband agrees.
But anyway, the "Day of the Experimenter" gives further proof to my mother's claim that I was born two weeks late, because it's not really me at all. I've got no real urge to find out how things work; I accept that they do and if they don't, generally find someone else to fix it. If I could get the "Firefly" personality test to work on this computer (see?) I have a vague suspicion that I'd be more Zoe than Kaylee, with a fair dose of the good Captain thrown in.
All my life I wanted to be somebody. I guess I should have been more specific.

Thanks!
Anything for a fellow Aquarian! (Feb. 3 myself, was almost a Groundhog, too!)
February 2, The Day of Class. Garth Brooks was born on this day. Not only are February 2 individuals apt to be polished, sophisticated and classy (Inara?), but also likely to embody many of the typical qualities (both the very best and worst ones) of the social group or nationality from which they spring. Thus, no matter how unusual they are, they tend to stay attached to their cultural beginnnings. (Book?)
Feb. 2 people are able to "do the impossible" and make it look easy. It is because they have great facility with their medium that they can operate in a relaxed fashion. Though they give the impression that such fluency comes naturally, in fact a great deal of discipline and hard work stands behind it. Classically, those born on this day prefer to work hard in private, not in public. It is extremely important to their image that they remain objective, in complete control of what they are doing-in a word, masterful.
How interesting. You seem more like Inara and Book than Davco92. Did you do the Firefly personality test? Did it agree with this?
Thanks, 'mom, for getting back to me so quickly. I am really busy right now with work, so my reply will have to be short for now. I did take the personality test and I was about 85% Inara, which makes total sense to me. When I get time, I will comment on the birthday profile.
Okay, so things are quiet at work tonight, so I thought I would comment on my birthday reading. As for being classy, I do not really identify with Inara's beauty and elegance (I wish!), but the idea of being classy (respectful, reserved but friendly, polite, sensitive to the feelings of others) in social situations sound like me. Come to think of it, I think 'classy' describes Book as well as Inara.
The part about identifying with and staying close to one's social group or cultural beginnings reminds me of a recent observation of mine about Jayne. I don't remember which thread it was on, but someone recently described Jayne as, and I am paraphrasing here, amoral, without respect or concern for anyone but himself. Most people who have watched the show can point to some obvious times when this was not true (i.e. watching over Kaylee in Serenity and the plea from the airlock in Ariel). But the comment got me to thinking about why Jayne is so appealing to so many - really, it's a mystery to me. Then I thought about the whole 'hat from mom' angle where we find out that he was raised as a part of a loving family and he obviously loves and respects his mother, in a very 'little boy' fashion. I also think the dinner table scene in Serenity where Book bows his head to pray, gives us a good insight into Jayne, too. Jayne very seriously and respectfully bows his head for the blessing, too. I've come to the conclusion that Jayne is not really a bad man, he just has the emotional maturity of an 8 year old boy. I can see the young Jayne as part of a primitive, harsh, but loving social group/family that taught him survival at all cost, but also respect for his elders and his religion. That said, I still don't find him attractive. But that's just fine, though, 'cause Simon needs groupies too.
AAAnnnyyywwwaaayyy... Back to the actual topic of this thread! I can also relate to identifying with one's nationality and social group and staying attached to one's cultural beginnings.
As for 'doing the impossible and making it look easy', I have been TOLD that I do this. But I guess that just goes along with the next part of the description, because I feel like I struggle and sweat and stress-out alot in order to do the best job I can. (perfectionist? who me?) Honestly, I can't see this trait in anyone of the Firefly crew. I mean, River does the impossible, but she doesn't make it LOOK easy, it
