Dating myself via the Chinese Zodiac

[firecat]

I am finding it cool that this year is the Year of the Ox, because I was born in the Year of the Ox. Oddly, I don't remember being excited about any of the previous four Years of the Ox. (Actually, since I wasn't around for ringing in the celebration during the first one, I'll amend that to three previous YotOs that I might have been excited about, but wasn't.)

Obama released a New Year's message about the Year of the Ox:

(I need an Ox icon. This is the closest I can get at the moment, which is not very close at all, except on the stubbornness scale.)
