From my reading I found that sometime in the earlier centuries in Europe. Men would pin the name of their lovers or the woman they loved on their sleeves. Therefore thats were the original statement comes from but I agree with Pete it does mean your emotions are very visible and it doesn't take much to upset or excite you.

They meant it in a good way but I guess it could be seen as a bad thing too. I think it means you are sensitive; emotional, your feelings are more "visable" rather than being closed up. I don't think it's a bad thing, necessarily...
