Snake (zodiac) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

6 February 1989 – 26 January 1990: Earth Snake

I'm a horse libra. I don't have to worry about any of this confusing shizz.

...Oh god I never thought of that before.


I think... hm, I think Jinny is the oldest ZUer I know. Er, I mean, the most... young... elegant lady of... wiser age... and... uh...

<___<

*hides from the *

The point is that snakes are smarter than horses. (Ever looked up the mythology for why the Chinese zodiac is ordered the way it is?)

Scary, no?

Dunno about her, but Rew & Florina are the oldest ZUsers I can think of.

"A few years ago"? You have an interesting definition of "a few"; the Chinese zodiac has never lined up perfectly with the calender we use, and never will. Well, not unless big changes are made, which seems rather unlikely.

Everybody who thinks that they line up perfectly has no idea how the Chinese calender works.

Well, I was mostly speaking from a general american populous viewpoint. As far as most americans are/were aware, it did line up. Then other people said no, and so forth.

Also, I'm dying, so be nice.

HH, HH!!!

It's from Tera and I thought of you:


Hope you get better soon - I am also feeling a bit miserable but I'm at work so have to smile at people to keep morale up when they ask me questions.

*huggles*

I'm a cancer in addition to being a dragon... so I'm a cancerous dragon? D=

Power to the Cancers!

I'm a horse in Chinese astrology. A metal horse, actually. Cancerous metal horse.

TIL I was born in the year of the Dragon. In the second day.

Ignorant mooks.

Well. That certainly sounds inconvenient.

Oh I forgot.

Earth Snake, Pisces.

I'm a fishy snake.

I'm an Aries, and a goddamn Water Rooster. I feel like I didn't really hit the jackpot regardless.

I remember when my Gold version died. It was the most tragic thing ever. ;_______;

The fact that it is 2012 still does not register with me. THERE ARE KIDS WHO ARE ALREADY 12 WHO WERE BORN IN 2000. THEY ARE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. WHAT. WHAT.

This confuses and scares me.

Also, I'm a Capricorn in the year of the rat. A rat-goat...so flattering xD
(at least the rat actually won the race in the story that goes with the Chinese zodiac, though)

You freaking young people. So young.

I'm on your lawn!

I'd shake my cane at you, but this fever is sapping all my strength. So weak and achy.

That should be less torturous.

Meh, virgo horse.

Get well soon, Haly!

D: That is true. But I dun like snakes much...

So I am a earth snake-goat. Argh. Lamesauce.

Dunno about her, but Rew & Florina are the oldest ZUsers I can think of.

Yeah, I know of them. Jinny doesn't give her age, but I know she has a family and kids and is married, and often seems to have a far more mature opinion than many, so she's probably amongst them in age. I'd guess somewhere in her 30s.

This is one of the best things you've ever said.

D: Holy fudge you're young.

Yaaay go fellow Capricorns?
