    People have said it so many times already that it’s really getting old by now when I say it… But I just love this idea. 😀 I don’t see this kind of art too often, so it’s very refreshing. Plus, it’s extremely neatly done! Even the frames suit the piece.
    Keep on rockin’! 8)

    I love these! 😀 They always make my day whenever I see them!

    Oh, gosh… All I can think of are “familiars” (I believe the author of The Golden Compass actually used the whole idea of familiars as a base for the Daemons). I think they’re most common in western Europe mythology, probably originating from England. They were believed to serve their owners as servants, companions, spies and such, and they also granted special abilities to their owners.

    But that’s really all I know, and I am not even sure if this helps at all… Since it’s maybe too similar to the Daemons in The Golden Compass and it’s got perhaps way too much to do with witchcraft.
    But if I come up with anything else, I’ll make sure to tell you.

    That’s so funny! But I’m quite amazed your cats don’t seem like they’d like to kill the mouse, at least when judging by the photos. Our cats usually kills every small animal that moves… It’s a real treasure hunt, going out to the porch, especially if Lyyli has been outside. Might find a squirrel’s head or something else that is veeeery attractive. Though Eetu usually eats only birds… and not just any parts; beak and legs are the first ones, and usually the only parts, he eats. 😕 And during summers I always have to run around the house, seeking for lizards they both have carried indoors. You should see all those tails they drop around.

    I can’t stand to wear jewelry around my fingers or wrists. It feels like it gets in the way. However, oddly I am attracted to anything shiny (metallic-mirror like or glass like sun catchers). Does that make me part squirrel? (I am definetely part Pack-rat.)

    I think that makes you a magpie. 😀 They are very attracted to everything shiny.
    Hmm.. kind of reminds me of one of my friends who buys or orders everything if it’s pretty and shiny.

    When I get a phone call from someone soliciting donations I always tell them I never give to anyone who calls me on the phone and say goodby

    Yeah, everyone should do that, or at least ask for something that would prove their cause actually true. It would decrease the chances of getting scammed.
    I never donate, even face to face, so I have had no problems so far… But we’ll see what’ll happen.

    I also talk to my dog. I often tell him how smart he is to not only understand dogaleese but english as well. (is dogaleese a word?)

    If it wasn’t already, now it is. 😛

    I don’t like con artists either… And it saddens me how they often use different kind of officials and public services as bait, just to get poor people fooled. I can’t deny that it’s the easiest way for them, though. People tend to react to officials in a certain (respectful) way and, thus, get easily fooled when a scam occures.

    in reply to: Politics…Shouldn't Go There, but What the Heck! #644461

    I kind of wish I could say something really witty here… But unfortunately I don’t know too much about the politics in the US so I can’t comment on anything for sure. 😕

    in reply to: Personal Quirks? #644639

    I don’t see any of my habits weird at all myself… But I have noticed that some people have considered me weird because I like to modify gas masks. I love painting them in different colors and decorating them with whatever I happen to come up with.
    …But yeah, I like to call that “imaginative”, not “weird”. 8)

    This Free Rice site is really great! There’s a bit too many new words for me to learn on one sit, though, but it’s still great. I just feel bad for the guy who actually has to count all those grains people have managed to earn for the hungry. 😆

    in reply to: Just saw the theater trailer for "The Golden Compass&qu #602886

    I’ll be probably seeing it once it’ll be released on DVD and I can rent it. XD I am too miserly and, above all, lazy to go to the movies.

    I am not sure what to say… I just keep checking all of these pictures all over and over again. They’re, simply, just so stunning and well-detailed! I think I like the raccoon and the tiger best… but it’s pretty hard to decide, really. 🙂 Since they’re all great.

    Better give ya my birthday as well, then. 😛 It’s August the 13th.
