I don't follow astrology per se, but I'm the poster child for a Taurus. I'm somewhat introverted with people I don't know well, but those who get into my inner circle have a loyal and dedicated friend for life. I'm intelligent, practical, but I like to have fun too. I like to go rafting and skiing, but I am by no means an expert at either. I love to travel. I've been all over Europe and lived in Japan for a year. I'm very close to my family, especially to my mother, who is also the matriarch. I'm tall, strong (physically and mentally), and am what I like to call 'Latifah Large'. I work for the government, but am an aspiring writer. I'm into geek culture - I love sci-fi and fantasy. I collect comic books and am a Harry Potter nut. But I also read Shakespeare and study ancient mythology, and cryptology for fun. Basically, I'm very open minded, and open to a lot of possibilities.
