| What animal would best suit your personality? A DOG. You are one of the best friends that someone could ever ask for. A very loyal, compassionate person who is always there for close friends and family members who are in a tough time. You are someone who can be counted on time and time again and never let small grudges get in the way of a good friendship. But unfortunately, you are very dependant, and every now and then someone will take advantage of your loyalty, and it is most often not until you end up hurt that you realised your foolishness.

I have never aspired to be a dog, but I have always aspired to have one. Always. Alas, it is not to be. My father, a dog-lover, would not have one in the house because he knew all the work would fall on him. The Hubs is not a dog-lover, and denies his pre-marriage promise that someday I could have a dog. At this point, it would have to be a choice between dog and husband, and most days, I'm still leaning toward the husband. Eh, things change.
(Just kidding. The Hubs is much more self-sufficient than a dog would be, and that's not a thing to be taken lightly. But I love dogs, and amuse myself from time to time by looking into breeds and seeing what I would like.)
In other news, I'm sooooo Lost! Good heavens, I watched the show last night with R, then we chatted it over for 20 minutes or so before she went home, and then - I admit it -- I read all the message boards and even posted something. I have never before posted a comment on a TV show board, which is pretty funny when you think about how much TV I watch and enjoy. Really, I can't believe how fast those things fill up; the show isn't over for a half hour and there's ten or more pages of comments. R and I were also emailing theories back and forth today. Hey, it's something to do.
So, in answer to voodoochick's note, cooties. For those of the non-U.S. persuasion, "cooties" is the most common childhood disease in this country. Every child has had it, every child fears getting it. It is especially rampant on schoolyards and school buses. It is most common, I believe, between the ages of 6 and 8, approximately. You may be wondering how a child can contract cooties. If you are a little girl, cooties is most likely to be caught by touching a boy, although you can also catch it if you look at a boy or if a boy looks at you. I have no idea how boys get it. The alarm is usually sounded when boys and girls come close to any kind of interacting, and one member of the girl herd will shriek a warning: "Eeuuuw, boys! Look out or you'll get cooties!" Immediately following this solemn warning, girls will begin to run and boys will begin to chase them. On occasion, a bold girl will declare that she has "cootie shots" and will vaccinate her sisters, usually by pinching their upper arms. Girls thus fortified will often begin to chase the boys in return and threaten to pass the disease, from which they are now themselves protected, to their sworn enemies. The one thing no child ever wants to hear from his or her playmates is the dreaded proclamation "You've got cooties!", which is followed by a general shunning of the infected party by every other child. In other words, if you're the unfortunate individual child who's got cooties, you are the class pariah.
