Life as a Leo

This past Tuesday, July 23rd, it became Leo territory in the universe. Do you know what that means? It's almost my birthday! And also, everyone is talking about me Leos. I found this Hi-Larious post the other day on MSN, 26 Signs You are a Leo. Seriously, click that link and I promise you'll laugh whether you're a Leo or not.

Now, not all of these applied to me, but some were so spot on I couldn't believe it. Here's a few of my favorites:

"No one has to wonder if you're pissed off or not" I've always been told that when I'm angry, it's written all over my face. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to fake it if I'm in a bad mood. Definitely not my favorite trait about myself, but I guess it's just the Leo in me!

"You... have no patience for people BS-ing around" Yep, it's true. I have very low tolerance for idiots, and when they're especially bad I usually write a letter about it. My friends all make fun of my letter writing, but it's gotten me many a coupon! One time I got $125 off a plane ticket for writing a complaint to the airline company- uh, win! And another time an entire store management team had to take a seminar on customer service- double win! 

"You're a tad impatient" Well, that's probably the understatement of the year. It goes on to say "When people put you on hold, for example, you just hang up." and yeah, I do that. I'm also really impatient waiting in lines at stores, and if it's not moving I usually just leave. Not because I'm mad- I totally understand that cashiers are going as fast as they can, but because it gives me time to rethink my purchase, and it almost never seems worth the wait.

"You're encouraging and known for giving inspiring pep talks." This one must be about drunk Amanda. Seriously, get a couple beers in me and I have something nice to say to everyone in the room, even if sober Amanda kind of hates them.  My boyfriend says that's how he can tell when I'm starting to get a little drunk, but I can tell because I always hit my head on the bathroom stall. Whatevs.

What zodiac sign are you? Do a lot of the characteristics apply to you?
