"We are the roses in the garden, beauty with thorns among our leaves. To pick a rose you ask your hands to bleed. What is the reason for all these roses when your blood is shed carelessly? It must be for something more than vanity..."

Your Spiritual Number is Two
You bring kindness and harmony into other people's lives.
Whenever a situation or idea seems extreme, you try to lend some balance.
Right now, your life is about benefiting from choices you've made in your past.
You have done your best to be a good person, and it is starting to pay off.
You are an idealist with interesting ideas. You can't help but see all of the beauty in the world.
But you are also aware of the world and its limitations. You have realistic expectations.

You are very compassionate, and you offer comfort to those around you.
It pains you to see other people hurting, and you do all in your power to help them.
You take on responsibility, and don't mind personal sacrifice. You are the ultimate giver.
In love, you offer warmth and protection to your partner.
You often give too much of yourself, and you rarely put your own needs first.
Emotions tend to rule your decisions too much, especially when it comes to love.
And while taking care of people is great, make sure to give them room to grow on their own.
You are deeply emotional and very connected to everything (and everyone) around you.
By simply understanding other people, you are able to help them heal and let go.
While you are a very deep and thoughtful person, you do have a very silly, superficial side.
When you are too blue: the weight of the world's problems hangs over you
When you don't have enough blue: you lack perspective and understanding
You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends.
You are also unconventional, irreverent, and unimpressed by authority.
Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives.
You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller!
In love, you are quite the charmer. And you are definitely willing to risk your heart.
You often don't follow through with your flirting or professed feelings. You break a lot of hearts.
At work, you are driven but not a workaholic. You just always seem to enjoy what you do.
You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist.
How you see yourself: compassionate, unselfish, and understanding
When other people don't get you, they see you as: gushy, emotional, and unfocused
Like a shining star, you have no trouble being the center of attention
In fact, you often feel a bit hurt when all eyes aren't on you
You need to be number one in everything, no matter how trivial
And it's this ego that both hurts your confidence and helps you achieve
You're dramatic and a powerhouse of pure energy
You possess a divine quality or uniqueness that's hard to define
A natural performer, it's likely you'll become famous in some circles.
Just learn not to take everyone's reaction to you so personally!
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul and Prophet Soul
Who I'd like to meet: I am pretty textbook Leo, Saggittarius Rising, and Libra Moon.
I am very extroverted and like being around other people who use their wit for good and not evil.
There are many kinds of intelligences, but I feel like the jiving of sense of humor is much more black and white.
I am trusting to a fault, optimistic, and try to always see the best in people. I try to be as positive as I can, and I think it's important to try to minimize the drama in your life. I make lemonade out of lemons as much as I can. People who are petty make my skin crawl.
I feel pretty rooted in my Texanness, but I am a big city boy. While i still hold on to the whole southern gentleman thing, I am pretty "New York" after being here for 9 years.
My loved ones are very important to me, and I am very close with my family.
I like imperfect, ever so slighty neurotic people, but mean and petty drama queens are not something i deal with well. Same goes for shallow and silly gentrifying hipsters.
I like people to get fired up about at least one thing, whether it's music, law, politics, art, or whatever.
You Should Date An Australian!
You're a down to earth, outdoorsy kind of girl
And you need a guy who can keep up with your adventures
A rugged Austrailian guy is just your style
Better start learning how to surf!
You are both a sensitive and sensual lover.
Warm and deep, you are tuned into the needs of your lover.
Verbal foreplay is crucial to you. Words can make or break your mood.
For you, sex is a 24 hour a day thing - you can't separate it from love.
I really, truly, madly, deeply (do you know savage garden?) want to catch up and hear all about your internship. And of course plan for our futures in social justice! We can be like the Thunder Cats only not animated.
Oh hell I had no idea Lauren hadn't seen it... i let a comment on her page too, lol! Oh well this is what i left her, and of course I agree with you! :::::::::::::::: The best season, humm... I'm goin to say a big NO! And I have to agree with Alex... I'm glad the crying 'i miss my daughter' when I lose a challenge is gone!!! On another note hey yo Joey is a dumbass, and Howie sweating profusely when he is not in the kitchen, that's just nasty!
