Imma sheep.

Really, though, the Chinese calendar kind of depresses me. It's mostly just because of the lack of individuality: All of the signs have their own specific personality traits, which is cool, but when you go through school, every single person in your grade basically shares your sign... So it kind of ruined it for me.

I always realized the uselessness of such classifications as well, especially when I meet people born on the same day as me with much different personalities.

Someone who was really into told me that your creature has an element based on the month you were born and a some other sign for the day and time. With a shadow creature and element. so I guess it can go more in depth if you want it to.

I vaugely remember being a fire rabbit with I think it was a monkey shadow? or something like that laugh

I'm technically a sheep, but the year I was born in was the year of Monkey, but before the Chinese New Year.

The elements:

If your year ends in:

0 or 1 = Metal
2 or 3 = Water
4 or 5 = Wood
6 or 7 = Fire
8 or 9 = Earth

Examples:

1996 = Rat of Fire
1988 = Dragon of Earth
1943 = Sheep of Water.
