They would not remember the simple rules; that a red hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that, if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds.
-Linda Goodman
So many of my very good friends are Aries. I think it’s because we both pity and deeply understand each other. Being an Aries is mostly a big contradiction, and only a fellow Aries can truely sympathize. We have characteristics embedded into our very souls that strike right at the heart of our lofty ideals.
Your everyday Aries will most probably be both:
- Conceded and self-centered—and perfectly selfless and noble
- Pushy and careless—and warm and generous
- Satirical and sarcastic--and genuine and sincere
- Bold and confident—and insecure and self-conscious
- Brave and heroic—and nit-picky and whinny
- Shallow and insensitive—and deep and passionate
- Strong and tough—and fragile and sentimental
- Bad tempered—and incapable of remaining angry
- Independent and self-sufficient—and secretly longing to be told what to do
- Practical, sensible, and straight-forward—and overly idealistic and irrational
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------You are not an Aries:
You are completely confused; probably even rolling your eyes over all of this narcissism
You are an Aries:
You are groaning and nodding your head; perhaps even shedding a tear over this life-long dilemma

It isn’t easy being so self-absorbed and hating your own kind…but, the important thing is that…we try.
We had an Aries birthday party last weekend, and (just to fulfill our secret hearts’ desire to be in the spotlight) they planned a very amusing make-up contest.
Each of the Aries girls had to pick someone(s) of the male population to apply her make-up, and the guys had ten minutes to work their magic.
Mercy picked all the guys in her Home, I picked all the guys in my Home, and Audie picked Dan…yes (sigh), JUST Dan….that turned out to be a very level-headed thing to do.
Overall it was a very positive experience, in spite of the fact that none of guys on my team had ever personally come in contact with make-up before.
Audie: “I’m so pleased with my brilliant choice!”
Come on guys! We can win this thing!
HELP!!!!!!!!
“That does NOT go in my mouth!!!”
GROOVY! We made her look like a drunken harlot!
Mercy is just so hard to ruin…look at her—still lovely, intact, and holding on to her dignity.
Audie: “I’m so pleased with my brilliant choice!”
It was fun, and we loved our moment.
