Maroon??? I seriously don’t think so. . .

Maroon? Really??
No. I cannot see you in maroon. Don’t do it…

I’ll trade you my dang butterfly for your hammer, az.
Mine is oddly similar to Nog’s; although I was not born in May. (And I do not like either mauve or February much, either.)

Is your birthday March 2nd, Ben?
So, does anybody think theirs is accurate at all, horrid colours and stupid power symbols aside? I’m sure not an island but there’s probably some truth in the other bits (that aren’t maroon). Not totally accurate, but not totally off like Nog’s.

“You work well with others. That is, you’re good at getting them to do work for you.”
That’s about the only part of mine that I would say is accurate.

Sorry, I meant my birthday is not in March (nor May). Oddly, it is the twoth, however, just as is Nog’s.
I’ll cop to some degree of intuition, mayhap, and the friends I have in various time zones would probably say I’m good at connecting. I wouldn’t say I have a lot of “best friends”, but I opted not to single out any one guy as best man at our wedding — I had four good, long-term friends stand up, co-equal. But I think I’m cautious, stand-offish, until friendship is proven.
Rather than saying “it’s hard for you to close your heart to anyone” I think I’m open but cautious until someone shows me they can be trusted. I wince to think of my heart as “open” to anyone, even my friends (they’d probably have a good yuk, actually).
Back in 1977 my car broke down on an LA freeway. I called a friend. Nice, sunny day. “Oh, man, don’t you have triple A?” he said.
A year later I was in Minnesota with car trouble again as a cold front, stormy weather, was coming in from (ahem) Canada. I called a friend and he said, “sit tight, I’ll be there.”
And I’d be there for him, too.

Oh, what a gyp! So anyone putting in the twoth would get that definition. Booooo!
That’s a nice story, Ben. 🙂

I read this a few days ago and went and did the little quiz. About the time I got back here my client came so I didn’t comment then. My birthdate has some sort of definition I don’t really recall as being terribly accurate. But my power color was emerald green, which is one of my favorite of all colors, and my power symbol was a leaf, which given my penchant for gardening, seemed eminently suitable.
