::giggles:: I don't mean just you necessarily...but Tauruses in general. Hell...Capricorns are supposed to be boring, unimaginative, serious, grounded, materialistic...did I leave anything out, Mel? Lemme tell ya, it’s a darn good thing we have "well of compassion" and "undying capacity for love" thrown in there as well, or else I might just have to complain to these people and ask them where they get off pasting a big "BORING...AND MONEY-GRUBBING TO BOOT" sign on the foreheads of everyone born from December 22nd to January 19th. It's grounds for a libel suit!!
Nope, I think you got all that... oh, wait, what about apathetic and uncaring? Seriously, I've seen that written about Capricorns too. And man, you thin Taurus has a temper? We're supposed to have a long never-ending explosive one. Mwa ha.
Add to that forehead stamp the following: MESS WITH US AND DIE!
::giggle:: Yeah, uh, Andrew? Don't you have a temper? C'mon.... cough it up. We'll all still love ya. ;)
-Grins- Oh, yes, I admit that I do have quite a temper. I can get REALLY upset, if you let me. The point was that Leslie's never seen me mad, in all the six years she's known me, except maybe once or twice. The same goes for Louis and Rachel, and I think the three of them know me quite well.
It takes quite a bit to get me mad. Not because I hold it in or psychological stuff like that, but because things just don't bother me. When I do get mad, though... ^_^;; We'll just say I haven't put a hole in any walls or anything -- but it's in the family.
Worry not, though -- I'm afraid I scare people when I say 'when I get mad, it's bad.' The fact of the matter is that it doesn't happen often, and it doesn't happen for small things -- it often doesn't even happen for big things (Though I'm sure if you know me long enough you'll find the things that tend to set me off the most). Or something.
aha! seee, though.. i'm the same way. i almost never get honestly mad at people. and if/when i do... it's normally not long lasting. but oh, heaven help the person or people i'm mad at. because if you've pushed me that far, you must have done something horribly, unmistakingly WRONG. ::laugh:: only i always say i got my temper from my father, who had quite an explosive one at that. ah, well. at least i have mom's good sense and a somewhat level head.
(and the funny thing is that when actually confronted, i know when to back down most times. to let it go. many a huge fight with senta has been avoided in such a fashion. one morning, many years ago, i said something to her - because she was bad-mouthing mom, sortof - and she was quick to shove me into a wall, get in my face and tell me off. it was our one really major fight, although several small ones have followed as a result of my dating people/making new friends. she pretty much hates everyone i've dated and that leads me to fight back verbally. i mean... part of me still loves the people of my past. it's not cool for other people to bash them!)
wheeeeeee, mel goes on a tangent. again. ^__^; ... and now, i'm going because (dot dot dot - keep reading) ... of the reason stated below for not getting on aim. :P
(i can't get on aim because dinner's gonna be ready in all of 5 minutes and i'd just have to go anyway. ::nudge:: )
That is not a tangent by any stretch! Infact, you just hit on one of those 'buttons' of mine. Infact, on but two occations I can remember being truely angry at anyone. The first was with a girl who, not knowing anything about Jean aside from the fact I liked her, started bad-mouthing her. You have no IDEA how mad that got me (my temper's rising just thinking about it, nearly 5 years after the fact). The second more recent time was when a guy who honestly doesn't know any better was making sexual comments about several girls I care for, and I very nearly bit his 'effing head off. I was most DEFINATELY snapping at him, much as I was trying to reign in my temper. You just don't... GO there, y'know?
Both sides of my family -- Italian and German -- have harsh tempers, and on occation I've seen it from both my parents, and most especially from mom Mom's dad and my Dad's mom. My mom's brother put a whole in his bedroom wall once, and my brother, Gene (quiet little Gene) has put two or three wholes in different walls. I think Tim punched through a door once, too. Josh really has a temper, though it's calmed down a bit as he grew up.
LOL And quite alright, Ms. Melissa. You know it's always a pleasure to see you around, in any case. ^__^ Have a good evening.
