Believe me when I tell you I like a bit of attention ;p UNLESS your page is interesting enough without needing to have contact then it's OK ***** I PROMISE I WILL EVENTUALLY MESSAGE YOU BACK IF YOU SEND ME A MESSAGE WITH SOMETHING GOOD IN IT!!! It might take months but I swear I will :) *****Aries - Symbol of The RamA Fire sign born between March 20th and April 20th. Ruling Planet: Mars | Life Style: Cardinal | Gem: Diamond | Color: Scarlet | Flower: Hawthorn | Virtue: Courage | Key Character: Leader...The spring equinox, March 21, is the beginning of the new zodiacal year and Aries, the first sign, is therefore that of new beginnings. The young Aries is adventurous, ambitious, impulsive, enthusiastic and full of energy person. The Arian is a pioneer both in thought and action, very open to new ideas and a lover of freedom. They welcome challenges and will not be diverted from their purpose except by their own impatience, which will surface if they don't get quick results...Aries people are doers. They set out to accomplish things and are determined to succeed one way or another. The astrological symbol for Aries is the Ram and, considering the sheer force of energy and enthusiasm by which they accomplish their goals, it is not off the mark to suggest that they "ram" their way to success. They must, however, learn the difference between being confidently aggressive--a responsible "take-charge person" on whom others rely to get things moving-- and being rudely aggressive-- a "know-it-all" who is insensitive to the feelings as well as the wisdom of others...As the first sign in the zodiac, you, as an Arian (as you are referred to), is to simply "get something started and lead the way". The Sun in this zodiac position gives your will free rein to express itself. You could be doing this in the form of some leadership role, or by forcing others to look at themselves in a new way. You can accomplish this by knowingly carrying out a deliberate act in the name of some cause that moves you. A negative effect of this sun sign is that you could sometimes unknowingly make it hard for others to relate to you, as you really are...In your personal relationships Arians are frank, direct and candid, and make enthusiastic and generous friends. You are liable to have a high sex drive and make passionate but fastidious lovers. There is, however, a negative side to your associations with other people. You can easily be irritated by slowness or moderation in your companions and, though yourselves sensitive, ride roughshod over the sensitivities of others. The intensity of your sexual urges can drive you to promiscuity and a Don Juan-like counting of conquests of the opposite sex. It can also trick you into early unwise marriage which may end disastrously. Arians are highly devoted to their children, even to the point of laying down their own lives, so that they might live. You will not find a more defensive and loving parent in all the zodiac...Arian, do not be afraid to be forceful, for this is the very core of your nature. If you feel fear in your heart, then look for a history of negative events in you personal history, such as violence or abuse from others. Being fearful may also indicate a household in childhood that negated independence and personal initiative in you. This could have inhibited your natural urge to go forward into life as the leader and champion you were born to be. Conversely, such bad influences could also have led you to be overly forceful, or to be unsympathetic to your own need and sensitivity...Much as you are the Ram, there is still the little lamb in you, which means that at times you would attain your goals more easily by gently giving in without resistance to the demands of a given social situation, rather than getting your horns entangled in something larger and more powerful than yourself. This is a talent akin to knowing the difference between what you can change, and what you cannot. This of course takes patience, the acquiring of which is definitely your greatest achievement, along with your sense of your own inner softness...Aries colors are red and white. Vulnerable parts of the body are the head and face. As a sign of this celestial association, many Aries individuals are born with a birth mark on their head or face. Headaches, black eyes, nose bleeds, and insect bites are common Aries complaints. The birthstone for Aries is the diamond. The tremendous heat and pressure that nature exerts in turning carbon into hard, brilliant diamonds represent the strength and physical force in the Aries-born. Flowers for Aries include the poppy (red), geraniums, honeysuckle, and hollyhocks.***** I HATE SWEET TALK AND SWEET TALKERS. DON'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING IT ON ME!! ***** IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT I'M A HUMAN WITH FEELINGS, EVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES I DON'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY AT ALL, WALK AWAY NOW! I'M BOUND TO MAKE STUPID MISTAKES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES WHEN MAKING DECISIONS TIED TO MY EMOTIONS. IT DOES SUCK BUT THAT'S LIFE ***** I'M ENTITLED TO MY OPINION AND I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CHANGE MY MIND IF I WANT TO - I'M ALWAYS GOING TO BE UNPREDICTABLE, EVOLVING, GROWING & DIFFERENT. STOP TRYING TO WORK ME OUT; EVEN I'VE GIVEN UP!! ***** I'M NOT A BEGGAR EITHER, SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FORGIVE ME FOR WHATEVER, CUT ME OUT OF YOUR LIFE AND MOVE ON. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS AND I CAN'T CHANGE ANYONE - I CAN ONLY CHANGE ME WHEN I WANT TO CHANGE, NOT BECAUSE SOMEONE WANTS ME TO CHANGE TO SUIT THEM ***** IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE. ***** DON'T EXPECT ME TO RESPECT YOU OR TRUST YOU IF YOU LIE TO ME OR BETRAY ME ***** I LIKE DIRECT, ASSERTIVE AND POSITIVE PEOPLE AROUND ME...DON'T BEAT AROUND THE BUSH, JUST COME OUT WITH WHAT YOU THINK AND FEEL RATHER THAN BEING PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE ***** LIFE AND TIME DOESN'T STAND STILL FOR ANYONE. WHY SHOULD I? *****
