Writing, talking dogs, the usual...

[felis_ultharus]

My writing is getting sluggish right at the worst possible moment. I have to turn in a very short story by the day after tomorrow. I have something written (I wrote it just yesterday), but it needs heavy revision, and I keep getting sidetracked.

I finished Prisoner of Azkaban again, and then went dutifully back to the Samurai Susanna Moodie. Apparently, she had a talking dog:

"[The servant] Jacob's attachment to us, in its simplicity and fidelity, greatly resembled that of the dog; and sometimes, like the dog, he would push himself where he was not wanted, and gratuitously give his advice, and make remarks which were not required.

She seems remarkably unperturbed owning a dog who "gratuitously gives his advice" and who "makes remarks which were not required."

That talking dog must have been a great help to her whilst she was hunting ninjas in the Canadian wilderness.

Also, it turns out I'm a fairy, which is of no surprise to anyone, I'm sure:

You scored as Faerie. Faerie: Aren't you a cute little flying person? Faeries are earth spirits. They live among each element completely hidden. They have cousins called Pixies. Pixies however, are very mischevious. They enjoy tormenting other creatures for fun. Little pranksters.. I hope you never meet one. Pixies have a bad reputation for finding a creature and clinging to them until death. Faeries can be somewhat close to a Pixie, but mostly they are loving, playful, and carry with them a child-like enthusiasm for life. Hide among the pedals of a Daisy, you are a Faerie. </td> Faerie 67% Mermaid 59% WereWolf 50% Angel 50% Dragon 0% Demon 0% What Mythological Creature are you? (Cool Pics!) created with QuizFarm.com
