Leader Bean

I am flawed if I'm not free.

About Me

When I grow up, I want to be Canadian.

My Birthdate: July 7
You are an island. You don't need anyone else to make you happy.
And though you see yourself as a loner, people are drawn to you.
Deep and sensitive, you tend to impress others with your insights.
You also tend to be psychic - so listen to that inner voice!

Your strength: Your self sufficiency
Your weakness: You despise authority
What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Stop being emotional and change the world!
