what do you think of my signature ? to be more precice, what do you think I am saying - I was talking to someone earlier today, and it seemed like I had been misunderstood - at least by that person.

No holds barred; I want FRANK opinions.....:D

hmmm it means....
You want attention, so you make up these signatures and if people dont accept you for that, they can stuff you in a shelf with your family, since you are part of the littles and you all live there happily writing pages onto eachothers books for people to read.
 
I think it means that you are who you are and that if peaople don't like it they can just go away???????????? I don't know. I don't even get my own signature.

Your signature tells me that you freely give your opinions and share your beliefs to any one who is interested, you keep nothing hidden, and if they do not like the story you present, they are free to go someone else for exchange of ideas.

My life is an open book; if you don't like the read, put me back on the shelf.
I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from home
And them that don't like me can leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry and I'll drink when I'm dry
And if moonshine don't kill me I'll live til I die
Or something close ... ;)

I took it to mean that you were not writing the book of your life for an audience other than yourself; and that only you had editorial control, whether or not your additional audiences approve or not.

I totally pprove of the sentiment, and it matters not whether I approve of the rest.

I think that it means that you are saying you have no hidden agendas and are completely open about who you are. If somebody can't deal with that, then that is fair enough, but you are not forcing them to read you so they should not take offense, they should merely find a book which they can handle.

I love your signature line. I interpreted it to mean "I am who I am, without artifice or masks. If you don't like what you see, feel free to find someone else who meets your expectations."

Great Deut... now I have that song stuck in my mind! Although, I love Simon and Garfunkle, I would rather have had something like the Boxer or the 59th Street Bridge Song. :D

Michel,

Your signature means you offer no promises and no apology for who you are and what you believe.

Oh blast, Now you have got me singing;

I Am A Rock Lyrics (Simon And Garfunkel)

Simon And Garfunkel - I Am A Rock Lyrics
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
I's laughter and it's loving I disclain
I am a rock I am an island

Don't talk of love
But I've hurt the words before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings
that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock I am an island

I have my books
and my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
safe within my womb
I touch no one
and no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries:help:

I think Fluffy, Melody and netDoc got it right.

Melody is probably the nearest "I am who I am, without artifice or masks. If you don't like what you see, feel free to find someone else who meets your expectations.", but I would add 'because I am not going to try be something I am not, just to please you".

Thank you everyone - it does go to show individual interpretations though. I will keep it; I was tempted to try and change it, but now you all know what I mean by it, I feel happier...:)

You can have Simon and Garfunkle - give me the Clancy Brothers. I always hum a few IRA ditties before a bris. They seem to pump up the spirit ....

I think your signature is good. I interpret as:
Your open about your life style. If someone doesn't like your lifestyle, then you want them to not complain about it and move on.
