ooh…This does look interesting.
Favorite animal:
1 Dragon…Wait? Dragons aren’t real!?

I’m going to continue anyway. I simply love dragons (specifically the more American/European views rather than the Asian styles). They are creatures of great strength, power, and thus require the need to to have responsibility for themselves. Dragons to me don’t always symbolize either order or destruction but rather balance. They have the force to go either way and thus some will balance others out. Plus, they can fly as I do in dreams and wish I could IRL. Also, I see them as being quite beautiful (even the more vicious and deadly looking ones) as I see beauty in the shapes of muscles rather than the skinniness of bones.
1 Wolves:
Although they are a common favorite, I do have my own reasons. Mainly I see that speed is more powerful than strength. Wolves are often known for being quick and agile. This exactly how I win fights and sparring matches. Simply being able to move faster than the other person allows you to win and often without having to inflict too much pain. Wolves also can withstand the cold and other more harsh environments, and sometimes seem to just know their surroundings well.
In dreams I often take the forms of either a half-dragon(rarely full form dragon) or a wolf.
2 Cats
They’re just so gosh darn cute, as well as being quick, agile, and often times threatening. I have seen 1 cat scare off a bigger (though less than threatening) dog merely by staring at it…giving it…“The Look”. Though despite all that, they can be quite silly and make you laugh.
Favorite Color - Black
Quiet I know it’s not a color! But black is my favorite. It can either stand out or disappear depending on what you want to do. Stealth, really, being able to hide and sneak up on people. Gather knowledge without anyone knowing. On occasion, black can also stand out. There is only on more bold color, Red, but really black can be just as memorable.
After reading explanations:
[spoiler]I would have to say mine works better if I include dragons. I definitely see myself as a dragon…duh …but I often see my dream girl as a wolf moreso than a cat. I like a girl to actually be able to challenge me a little physically. It gets boring being able to overpower everyone around you. This of course doesn’t mean I want her to always go against me, but maybe an occasional little sparring or wrestling scrimage.
Also the color, Black definitely applies to me now as well as what I want to be. I like being able to slip below the radar and and go unseen until needed. I also hate taking leadership even though I can be very good at it. I usually will hide and let someone else take it and I’ll coach them as needed, or come out of the shadows to take over if they can’t do it. I know I need to sometimes stand out, ie: getting a job, impressing a girls parents, etc, and black can do that, although red is better. Maybe thats why red is my second favorite [/spoiler]
Definitely a neat topic.
