I am a monkey:

People born in the Year of the Monkey are the erratic geniuses of the cycle. Clever, skillful, and flexible, they are remarkably inventive and original and can solve the most difficult problems with ease. There are few fields in which Monkey people wouldn't be successful but they have a disconcerting habit of being too agreeable. They want to do things now, and if they cannot get started immediately, they become discouraged and sometimes leave their projects. Although good at making decisions, they tend to look down on others. Having common sense, Monkey people have a deep desire for knowledge and have excellent memories. Monkey people are strong willed but their anger cools quickly. They are most compatible with the Dragon and Rat.
------------------------
This is actually VERY true so I found in interesting.

I'm a dragon:

People born in the Year of the Dragon are healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn. They are also honest, sensitive, brave, and they inspire confidence and trust. Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the eastern zodiac. They neither borrow money nor make flowery speeches, but they tend to be soft-hearted which sometimes gives others an advantage over them. They are compatible with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, and Roosters.

hubby is also a dragon. guess we're not compatible.

[Luba]

People born in the Year of the Rat are noted for their charm and attraction for the opposite sex. They work hard to achieve their goals, acquire possessions, and are likely to be perfectionists. They are basically thrifty with money. Rat people are easily angered and love to gossip. Their ambitions are big, and they are usually very successful. They are most compatible with people born in the years of the Dragon, Monkey, and Ox

My husband is an "Ox" so it's nice that we're compatible.
Thrifty with money...a MILD understatement...
I don't think I'm THAT easily angered (unless it's abuse in some sort towards anyone) and I don't like to gossip!
I'm not materialistic so I don't think I have big ambitions...unless it's to retire and oil paint, learn to play the guitar, etc. etc.

It's also great to know that I'm compatible with Merika and Star; two great women whom I admired as soon as I joined LS!

[Star]

krystal is a dragon, kass is a monkey, erika's a monkey and brooklyn is a dog. it's funny because i've always called kass and erika little monkeys.

mine pretty much describes who i am. i can be stubborn (although i do try hard to work on that) and can be short tempered especially if stupidity is involved.

[Weiser]

People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people¡¦s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit.

Yep, except for the money part - they got that backwards.

It would be funny of someone came along and read that without realizing what the thread was about.
