Hey, I'm a Cypress.

I got this e-mail today that can tell you what tree you are by your date of birth. Huh? Fear not, the message also tells you that it's "really cool and ... accurate." So here I am:

Aug 04 — Cypress Tree
Cypress Tree (Faithfulness) — strong, muscular, adaptable, takes what Life has to give but doesn’t necessarily like it, strives to be content, optimistic, wants to be financially independent, wants love and affection, hates loneliness, passionate lover which cannot be satisfied, faithful, quick-tempered at times, can be unruly and careless, loves to gain knowledge, needs to be needed.

I really like the "strong, muscular part." And the "passionate lover which cannot be satisfied" part. I did a little research with Google and found that all cypress trees grow quickly. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed that the e-mail didn't mention how hard my wood is.
