Calendar Daze

MCF, knowing how much I love memes, tagged me with an astrological one.The month meme has the following rules:
1. Mention the person who tagged you and create a link back to them.
2. Copy-paste the traits for all the twelve months (see below).
3. Pick your month of birth.
4. Highlight the traits that apply to you.
5. Tag 12 people and let them know by visiting their blogs and leaving a comment for them.
6. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve done it!
So click on if you care dare.


I’m not a believer in astrology at all, but I figure as MCF says that these are vague enough that anyone can apply a few of the ones in their month to themselves and this kind of stuff has a strange appeal. Mainly the “group of strangers forming a web community” thing. So here’s me.
JULY: Fun to be with. Secretive. Difficult to fathom and to be understood (so my wife says). Quiet unless excited or tensed. Takes pride in oneself. Has reputation. Easily consoled. Honest. Concerned about people’s feelings. Tactful. Friendly. Approachable. Emotional temperamental and unpredictable. Moody and easily hurt. Witty (or so I think)and sparkly (hardly). Not revengeful. Forgiving but never forgets. Dislikes nonsensical and unnecessary things. Guides others physically and mentally. Sensitive and forms impressions carefully. Caring and loving. Treats others equally. Strong sense of sympathy. Wary and sharp. Judges people through observations. Hardworking. No difficulties in studying. Loves to be alone. Always broods about the past and old friends. Likes to be quiet. Homely person. Waits for friends. Never looks for friends. Not aggressive unless provoked. Prone to having stomach and dieting problems. Loves to be loved (who doesn’t?). Easily hurt but takes long to recover.
I’m interested (narcissist that I am) what any of you might think about which ones might apply to me that I haven’t chosen.

    Wow, astrology got 14 out of 37 predictions about your personality correct. That’s a 62% failure rate!
    On one of the items, you neglected the negating prefix, thus that really is a miss as well (a diametric miss at that).
    Two pairs of the ‘hits’ are pretty much synonyms: “Friendly” and “Approachable” as well as “Quiet unless excited or tensed” and “Likes to be quiet”, so each pair counts as one.
    Lastly, as you note, one pretty much describes human nature: “Loves to be loved”.
    Adjusting for these, astrology got 10 out of 34 correct. This is a 70% failure rate. It amazes me that anyone thinks that there is something to astrology. I’m glad you are not one of them, Scott. I’m going to modify and then participate in this meme, though I probably won’t spread it.
    Then again, my wife accuses me of sucking the fun out of everything.

    Here’s Greezy Wop’s response.
    Yeah Sid I believe in the Big Sky Daddy, but even I don’t believe that our fate is written in the stars. Don’t feel the need to spread the meme. Good meme’s (I’m told) spread themselves.
    Fwiw I don’t think you suck the fun out of everything, but to be fair B4B does know you better than I and I think we both want to keep it that way.

    And can one be secretive and honest?

  • http://sidfaiwu.com/blog sidfaiwu

    Oh, I should mention that the ones you picked seem to fit as far as I know you. Good job on the self-assessment.
    I think you sell yourself short on a couple of them though. I’d add “Tactful” and “Guides others … mentally.” As far as guiding others physically, I happily know nothing of your sex life.

    I have known Sid all my life and he DOES suck the fun and life out of everything. As a matter of fact, everyone is worse off for knowing you Sid!

    “I have known Sid all my life and he DOES suck the fun and life out of everything. As a matter of fact, everyone is worse off for knowing you Sid!”

    Ah spoken like a true brother. Thanks Santini.

    I’m not always as tactful as I know I’m capable of being, though with age has come some maturity in that regard. On the page I come across as much more tactful than in person at times. Thanks.

    Scott – Thanks for including me, but I think I’m gonna pass. I started to do it, but part of me just didn’t like the whole astrology connection. Even with the acknowledgement that it’s a bunch of hooey and it’s only for fun, it just didn’t feel right. Sorry.
    But seriously, thanks for putting me in a list of ‘blogs you should read’. That’s not happened before, nor is it likely to again I suspect. :-D

    Done!

  • http://www.spiritualtramp.com Scott

    Doug, no sweat. And I think a few people at least would agree with me.
    George, checking it out now.

    Thanks for understanding. Normally I’m not too uptight about this kid of stuff, but this one just didn’t sit right. Go figure.
