OK so maybe this is a little dorky but I am excited that they are making a movie out of one of my favorite books. Actually the first book in a fantasy trilogy comprised of The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. The author, Philip Pullman, creates a rich world which I am not going to tell you about because you should go out and read the books yourself.
But I will tell you one thing, which is that in the world of The Golden Compass, all people have daemons, or animal familiars, that are like extensions of themselves. And on the website for the movie you can get your own daemon, based on your personality. Which I have done, and would you-all like a chance to comment? Is this the right daemon for me? Check out my little daemon-blurb in the upper right of this blog.

Looking at Philip Pullman's blog, I see that he has not posted there since January (of which year, I don't know). So now I don't feel so terribly remiss in my laggardly blogging habits. I know, I know, but I won't promise to blog more because that sort of thing always backfires on me!
BTW, this is post number 100. Yay!

I would agree with the soft-spoken/spontaneous pairing, but fickle? The jury's out on modest because I don't really know how that manifests itself. However, I think your daemon is a good physical match for you - the cat's eyes and coloring evoke an Aislinn-ish feeling for me.
These books are on my summer reading list! But I went ahead and got my own daemon anyway. It's a fox :) And it connotes that I'm shy yet assertive, which I love.
Btw, my daemon description also calls me modest and fickle. Must be why we get along so well...us modest-yet-fickle types have to stick together.
We sure do! Trying to remember the last time I was fickle. Perhaps the little personality quiz is interpreting a concern about fickleness to be actual fickleness? Do you worry about being fickle? Fickle, fickle, fickle.
