grmbrand	posted 2-Jul-2002 7:39am Ash Tree, The Ambition Uncommonly attractive, vivacious, impulsive, demanding, does not care for criticism, ambitious, intelligent, talented, likes to play with its fate, can be egoistic, very reliable and trustworthy, faithful and prudent lover, sometimes brains rule over heart, but takes partnership very serious. [ I never thought of myself as a tree before, but that certainly explains the morning wood! BADUM TSSSSHHH ]
justjulie	posted 2-Jul-2002 7:49am Walnut Tree, The Passion Unrelenting, strange and full of contrasts, often egoistic, aggressive, noble, broad horizon, unexpected reactions, spontaneous, unlimited ambition, no flexibility, difficult and uncommon partner, not always liked but often admired, ingenious strategist, very jealous and passionate, no compromises.

Dino	posted 2-Jul-2002 7:54am Poplar Tree. Poplar, The Uncertainty Looks very decorative, no self-confident behavior, only courageous if necessary, needs goodwill and pleasant surroundings, very choosy, often lonely, great animosity, artistic nature, good organizer, tends to philosophy, reliable in any situation, takes partnership serious. I would say most of that is very accurate. Good site. I love Trees!
Dino	(reply to grmbrand) posted 2-Jul-2002 7:56am Your's sounds pretty accurate. Do you agree with it?
dlp34	posted 2-Jul-2002 8:34am Hornbeam Tree - interesting...seems to match most of the qualities.

grmbrand	(reply to Dino) posted 2-Jul-2002 8:52am It seems that way. I have a hard time believing that everyone born in a certain time of year has the same personality, though. Maybe that's the "brain rules over heart"-bit talking.

It sounds fairly accurate to me.

darkshadowsseeker	posted 2-Jul-2002 11:05am Hazelnut (aka filbert tree) which is quite fitting as Oregon grows most of the filberts found in stores in the U.S. Locally we even have a Filbert Festival each year. And the description is fairly accurate.
darkshadowsseeker	(reply to justjulie) posted 2-Jul-2002 11:07am I KNEW this was your survey when I saw it in qual.!
ASexyBabe	(reply to bill) posted 2-Jul-2002 11:49am Do you feel that describes you accurately?
ASexyBabe	(reply to bill) posted 2-Jul-2002 11:51am Hazelnut Tree, The Extraordinary Charming, undermining, very understanding, knows how to make an impression, active fighter for social cause, popular, moody and capricious lover, honest and tolerant partner, precise sense of judgment For the most part it seems accurate.
confetti	posted 2-Jul-2002 11:56am Oh, this is adorable! I'm a chestnut tree.
dora	posted 2-Jul-2002 12:12pm Chestnut Tree, The Honesty Of unusual beauty, does not want to impress, well-developed sense of justice, vivacious, interested, a born diplomat, but irritate and sensitive in company, often due to a lack of self-confidence, acts sometimes superior, feels not understood, loves only once, has difficulties in finding a partner. I like chestnut trees a lot BTW Seems like 80% of things it says are true.Except for the unusual beauty part if we talk about physical beauty,and vivacity isn't one of my strong points I guess.The rest is indeed me.

teatree	posted 2-Jul-2002 2:34pm I'm a fig tree.

cuteasabutton	posted 2-Jul-2002 3:37pm Hornbeam, The Good Taste Of cool beauty, cares for its looks and condition, good taste, tends to egoism, makes life as comfortable as possible, leads reasonable, disciplined life, looks for kindness, an emotional partner and acknowledgment, dreams of unusual lovers, is seldom happy with his/her feelings, mistrusts most people, is never sure of its decisions, very conscientious.

Biggles	posted 2-Jul-2002 6:33pm December 22 - Beech tree. The blurb doesn't seem to describe me though. Or HK for that matter! Or Noel Edmonds who also shares our birthday.......
juliw	posted 2-Jul-2002 6:47pm cedar tree
LuridHope	posted 2-Jul-2002 6:52pm fig, but I don't really give one about it.
mandy	posted 2-Jul-2002 8:00pm Poplar. I suck, even as a tree. Damn!
Galomorro	posted 2-Jul-2002 8:47pm A fig I guess. I love all trees. Fig trees, however, just DO it for me. I have one in my south-facing kitchen. It has two new "babies" on it. I wish I had a regular garden or deck so I could put it outdoors, but I leave my east-facing kitchen window open so it will get air from outdoors. There is a bee-yoo-tiful huge avocado tree outside my fire escape/kitchen window east, but it has not had fruit in several years. I wonder if it is cause it got trimmed severely back by someone else a few years ago. I remember when there were ripe avocados all over the place and the neighbors were climbing all over the roof trying to reach the fruit with nets, etc. Agggg -- do NOT get me started on trees! I will see what kind of tree I am now. Okay, I just did. I am a LIME tree! Agggg -- one of the two main trees I want to own is a LIME tree! (the other is a lemon tree). Good survey!!

mikehunt696	posted 2-Jul-2002 10:49pm I'm a birch tree and I don't agree with what it says about ambition.
natsim	posted 2-Jul-2002 11:17pm Apparently I'm a hornbeam tree. I have no idea what that is, but I figure that since I'm Australian, I can choose an Australian tree... so I'm choosing a Wattle tree since ours is flowering.
freebird_old	posted 3-Jul-2002 12:02am I'm a Poplar. This was a fun link to see. And turned out to be pretty darn accurate too. A little depressing too though....

32flavors	posted 3-Jul-2002 1:12am I'm an Apple tree. I think the description's fairly accurate or at least I like to think that it is.
Dino	(reply to mandy) posted 3-Jul-2002 7:22am cough Er..as a poplar too I think we came across as kind of cute. Or is that your problem?
Dino	(reply to freebird_old) posted 3-Jul-2002 7:23am You, me and Mandy! Is that not a team or what?
dab	posted 3-Jul-2002 10:03am Elm. Boy does that description not match me.
bill	(reply to ASexyBabe) posted 3-Jul-2002 2:41pm um... My shape isn't that pleasant; clothes are more boring than tasteful; modest demands - I guess, though, not always; I think I forgive (hard to say); cheerful (I suppose); lead but not obey - sort of - I'm not a bad follower (rarely plan social events but enjoy playing along), but I also lead (e.g. my websites - though, I see myself as an out of the spotlight servant-king of sorts); I am an honest and faithful partner (loyal too); I have a little of that know-it-all, but I think it's not too bad, I don't like making decisions for other at all though (quite the opposite); noble-minded (at my best, but only sometimes); generous (hm... mixed, mostly not - I believe more in fairness where possible); good sense of humor (sure, but everyone would think that of themselves, right?), practical (absolutely).
bill	posted 3-Jul-2002 2:54pm Rubber Tree, The Bouncer Resilient and strong yet giving, likes to travel, bouncy personality, able to handle life's little bumps, inflexible in the cold, soleful, may hose you if you're not looking, oops there goes another rubber tree, oops there goes another rubber tree plant!

ASexyBabe	(reply to bill) posted 3-Jul-2002 3:18pm I bet if you asked people that knew you they would say you are generous. I always saw you as generous.
bill	(reply to ASexyBabe) posted 3-Jul-2002 4:15pm well, that's very nice of you to say. thanks.

kaleb777	posted 3-Jul-2002 5:15pm Fir Tree, The Mysterious Extraordinary taste, dignity, cultivated airs, loves anything beautiful, moody, stubborn, tends to egoism but cares for those close to it, rather modest, very ambitious, talented, industrious uncounted lover, many friends, many foes, very reliable. What a load of crap!
mandy	(reply to kaleb777) posted 3-Jul-2002 6:56pm I see a few in there that fit you perfectly.
freebird_old	(reply to Dino) posted 4-Jul-2002 12:30am Reminds me of the question on world domination. All the Poplar tree personalities banding together....wahahahahaaaaaa

Rowan, The Sensitivity Full of charm, cheerful, gifted, without egoism, likes to draw Attention, loves life, motion, unrest and even complications, is both dependent and independent, good taste, artistic, passionate, emotional, good company, does not forgive. That's not me at all. Oh...wait, on second thought...minus the charm, cheerfulness, likes to draw attention, and good company.
Kristal_Rose	posted 4-Jul-2002 3:03am Without checking out the link, I'll say a Banyan, Wisteria, Oak, Cherry, or Willow.

jettles	posted 4-Jul-2002 6:53am Fig Tree, The Sensibility Very strong, a bit self-willed, independent, does not allow contradiction or arguments, loves life, its family, children and animals, a bit of a butterfly, good sense of humor, likes idleness and laziness, of practical talent and intelligence.
kaleb777	(reply to mandy) posted 4-Jul-2002 3:30pm Yeah, but I see a few in all the others that fit too.
mandy	(reply to kaleb777) posted 4-Jul-2002 4:06pm Good Point!!!!! How have you been? I miss talking back and forth with you, we're not on at the same time lately
Iseult	posted 4-Jul-2002 6:34pm Fig Tree - I don't even know how it looks like. Well, when you think of it, I only know what's oak and pine. And Christmas tree of course.

they	posted 6-Jul-2002 2:15am I don't need to take the test.. but I will.. I already know the truth: Oak.. all the way... My parents planted an Acorn when I was born and it grew up with me... It towers over their house and is shaped like a 'Y'... or a wishbone .
they	posted 6-Jul-2002 2:18am The site says: Rowan, The Sensitivity Full of charm, cheerful, gifted, without egoism, likes to draw Attention, loves life, motion, unrest and even complications, is both dependent and independent, good taste, artistic, passionate, emotional, good company, does not forgive.
kaleb777	(reply to mandy) posted 6-Jul-2002 3:55pm I'm a day ahead so I get the weekend before you do. I don't bother going online on friday night or saturday because it's too crowded to the US. Australian, UK and New Zealand sites load fast but the fudging bandwidth to the US is clogged on the weekend. Telstra is currently laying a fibre optic cable to Asia alongside the ones we have now, so hopefully that will speed things up a bit. It's really not that slow, but my attention span has grown dramatically shorter over the years. Didn't you just have July 4th? You should have been celebrating anyway!
mandy	(reply to kaleb777) posted 6-Jul-2002 4:14pm We spent the 4th at home. Being quiet and good.
NthenSome	posted 6-Jul-2002 7:34pm I chose fir because I think that's the tree that doesn't die in the winters. That's an ambition more than anything. Winters kill me dead, but it gets better as I work on it.

justjulie	(reply to micah) posted 14-Jul-2002 7:58am ok, well happy birthday 2 days late to you my dear friend....and i was simply curious as to if there was some sort of ties between you and heyzeus, other than being the same tree and looking rather similar, i thought that the date might be the answer....guess not though....guess that you 2 are just from a strange and unusual lot!
