When you really break it down, a lot of the core traits of every sign apply to everyone ... it's just the way we use it in our lives and to what intense extent, yes? Some would say I am the most stubborn person they know (ie: exboyfriend said I was very much like a badger, that I'd dig myself into a hole and then defend myself to the death with anyone who crossed my path) ... and yet, I'd bet quite a few other people, having seen only several small bits of me, would consider me a very easy person who'd never go to bat over anything.
For example... you being stubborn could be taken many ways. You're not what I'd call stubborn... more... hmm. I guess the world would be passionate, or willful. Willing to explain in great detail every bit of your choice or belief and back it up with your assured attitude. You're not actually forceful about it to the degree of which I would consider stubborn.
Whooooooooooo, look at me GO! I have talked in the past few days, even though you wouldn't know it by the length of this reply. The sad part is that not a single thing I say makes sense. Awwww, well. Too bad, soooooo sad. ^__^;

ps: notification of a reply often comes late and in strange order. or rather, it always did when i used livejournal. i'd have a reply for hours with no e-mail note... and then the second someone replied to that, i'd get an e-mail. weeeeird. but what is normal in the computer world, ne?
See, I'd be one of those people who would say "you're not stubborn, Mel," but then, I would quite readily expect you to dig in if it were something you believed it. Boyfriends (Ex's in particular) have a way of being to harsh.
Me on the other hand... -shrugs- I donno, I might claim to be stubborn, though at the same time it may only be connotation which we disagree on. Similarly, it could be argued whether I'm arrogant of just self-confident, when in reality they mean the same thing.
LOL Mel, you make wonderful sense! And you shouldn't cut yourself off like that. -nudge- I quite enjoy long, thoughtful comments on my journal, and you make better arguments than you give yourself credit for, I believe.
PS - yeah, it's happened a number of times. I don't enjoy it, neither, cause I never 'know' when I have comments. Course, I check this thing compulsively, anyways, so...
