Three blogs in, over a decade online & I’ve finally been tagged! I feel substantiated, thanx to *Sparky*.. Although relatively new to the blogosphere, her blog beautifully shares her; outwardly reflecting the inner beauty she quite clearly has. [Sadly, she has left blogging behind but made a positive impact while here.]
The rules are simple:
- Mention the person who tagged you and create a link back to them.
- Copy-paste the traits for all the twelve months (see below).
- Pick your month of birth.
- Highlight the traits that apply to you.
- Tag 12 people and let them know by visiting their blogs and leaving a comment for them.
- Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve done it!
I was born in October; on the real, not observed, Columbus Day & still think it should’ve been a school holiday.
OCTOBER: Loves to chat. [I'll drop whatever I'm doing, even sleep, if someone needs to talk.] Loves those who love them. [Love freely offered & only tempered as needed.] Loves to take things at the center. [Both getting at the heart of things & simply being centered.] Inner and physical beauty. [Is humility even an option anymore?] Lies but doesn’t pretend. [Have to admit I love that distinction.] Gets angry often. Treats friends importantly. [There is nothing more important than people, including fur ones.] Always making friends. [see previous] Easily hurt but recovers easily. Daydreamer. [According to RhodesTer anyhow.] Opinionated. [Damn straight.] Does not care what others think. [see previous] Emotional. Decisive. [The trick is to not feel more than think.] Strong clairvoyance. [Bypassing the claim of strength as mine's intuition not divination.] Loves to travel, the arts and literature. [What's not to love.] Touchy and easily jealous. Concerned. Loves outdoors. Just and fair. [Balance is my most well-worn word.] Spendthrift. Easily influenced. Easily loses confidence. Loves children. [So long as they're not my own tho' I'll care for them as if they were.]
Here’s the tricky part: past the fun of being tagged, the time has come to tag.. Please take this hopeful tap on your virtual shoulder, my taggees, as an expression of affection. Not so different than a kiss from a loved one with a cold; a gift that keeps on giving.

Taggee will respond, just not tonight.
Response, regardless when, tickles me true.. (|_| *cheers* |_|)
UPDATE: It didn’t take long; I truly thank you for your participation:
“Get to Know the Real Me”
Now that’s what I call a tag! You are an Amazing Blogger coffeesister! In fact, You have been given such an Award and Readers would like to learn more about you! Amazing MeMe
Thanks for the tag! I always wondered why Columbus Day wasn’t a school holiday (or work holiday for that matter).
As if the discovery of our continent, even if accidental, isn’t deserving of a holiday!?
THANX for your reply to the meme: “Calendar Daze”

Hey! I have something I’ve been dying to send ya so you can put it on your blog, but uh, I don’t have yer email… LOL
You can trust me, it won’t be given out to anyone, not even Sparky… *Grins*
Cause yanno, even though she and I are well, yanno, it just won’t be given out…
But if you can email me at my addy, I can send this to you pronto!
I believe you are truly deserving of it and I think you’re kinda, sorta gonna like it…
Peace and white light always, Nick
I’m so confused!
Hey you-I deleted our texts so can’t reply and couldn’t remember which email to use-so email or text me and let me know what’s up. Also-if I do this tag thing where do I post it?
Well, at first blush I thought there weren’t many that applied to me. But after a little time spent mulling it over…here’s what I’ve come up with.
JANUARY: Stubborn and hard-hearted – definitely not. Ambitious – sure, but not to the extreme and serious – sometimes. Loves to teach and be taught – depends on the teacher/student and subject
. Always looking at people’s flaws and weaknesses – definitely not. Likes to criticize – No again. Hardworking and productive – I like to think so. Smart -sometimes, neat and organized – with a husband, 3 kids and a dog – I don’t think so!. Sensitive – Yes, and has deep thoughts – sometimes. Knows how to make others happy – tries to. Quiet unless excited or tensed – That would be me. Rather reserved – guilty again. Highly attentive – highly??. Resistant to illnesses but prone to colds – touch wood. Romantic but has difficulties expressing love – so so. Loves children – Yep. Loyal – Yes, again. Has great social abilities yet easily jealous – not quite. Very stubborn and money cautious – Not quite, again.
Thanx ever so for playing with us! I have to admit I can’t refuse a little self-reflection not to mention a chance to learn a bit more about my friends..

Actually I’m pretty wigged out by how much my month fits me. I’d replace shy with introverted. If I say I’m humble, can I be really? Honesty negligible. I’m not as hyper-sensitive and volatile anymore, so I don’t anger too easily. Think I show my friends they’re loved, but am reserved when building ‘ships. I’m expressive, but not all the emotions come to the surface on cue anymore. C+/B- in romance. Spendthrift of necessity but not opposed to the occasional splurge. I really like the one that goes “realizes hopes and dreams”. That must be true.
Cannot thank you enough for joining us, my dear bro! Perhaps my own hopes & dreams can be realized as your participation implies..
I too was quite taken by how well the February traits seem to describe you; the first three alone are remarkable. Tis right you should take ‘ship-building seriously, good pirate that ye are.

I’m a Cancer. But you already know that, mon chere amie.
My Birthday, for those who don’t know me, is a Holiday in France. It’s Bastille Day -July 14th- and they have fireworks. 
ALL FOR ME!! 
One trait that is NOT MENTIONED is love the arts and the theatre. Which I do, as Dorian knows. July fits me to a tee. Bizarre how it does! And Columbus Day SHOULD BE A HOLIDAY! 
All Hail Christopher Columbus!
Thanx for playing, my coffeesibs! (|_|*cheers*|_|)

If only the socks were from Target, all would be forgiven.
