Is it madness?

Top five favorite animals and why.
What animal if it were possible to tame or have any creature as a pet would you choose that is living, extinct and mythological?
What was the coolest animal you've ever gotten to interact with? manda_kitty

I don't have a ton of time to get tooooo far in detail about why I love specific animals atm, but I'll talk a little bit about it.

Ok, top five favourite animals! In no particular order because I do what I want.
1) Cuttlefish
I love cephalopods, and cuttlefish are my favorite. I actually wanted to study their behavior, look into language. They are adorable and intelligent and interesting. There is actually a whole lot of stuff that makes them neat that I don't have time to write about. n_n'
2) Horses
I have always loved horses! I know they can be the trolls of the barnyard, but they are beautiful and I miss being able to interact with them. I grew up around horses actually because a friend of the family had them and I visited them and helped out with them growing up. One day I will have a horse of my own.
My dream horse would be an arabian.
3) Cats
Cats do what they waaaaant. And are adorable. I probably don't need to go into great detail. xD My favourite breed of pet kitty is the Maine Coon. My favourite wild cat is the cheetah. :3
4) Dogs
I have always been a dog person and I get along very well with them. My old boss at remote field camp was always shocked that I was able to calm the half wild dogs that would try to attack him I am the dog whisperer~. I also love wolves. I am not good at narrowing things down.
5) Dolphins
I have to pick a marine mammal, and I love dolphins. I love intelligent animals, they are interesting to me. :3
Maybe I should have said orcas, they are the wolves of the sea and that's also interesting to me.

Five are so few... lol. There are so many more and I wasn't terribly good at narrowing things down as it was. xD

What animal would I have as a pet if I could have any animal, mythological allowed.
Loki's bbs do not count because they are not pets ODIN STOP RIDING YOUR GRANDSON INTO BATTLE GEEZ ruuuude~

Hrm what to pick... Well that's not even a question. xD

I would say a dragon! I would like to raise the dragon, eventually be able to ride it, and have the ability to lay waste to my enemies.

Yus.

The coolest animal that I've ever gotten to interact with has without question been my little bb Piping Plovers. While they might not be cool exactly I loved them very much, and the longer I worked with them the more I loved them. I was tasked with protecting them and protect them I did. And I have given my best presentations on them, and talked to complete strangers about what they were doing wrong without any anxiety, and watched them from egg to fledgling birds.

My bbs~

So Kate got here today, and she's a really nice girl from the looks of it. I'm not a huge fan of having a roommate, but it was something that I was willing to do to be here.

However, I'm getting another roommate soon. It's... a guy. :/ I didn't know he was going to live here until I'd been here a few weeks. Ward thought he had a car and had him living elsewhere. Karrie normally would have handled all the intern stuff, but she was out because of her baby coming early. Ward didn't actually ever tell me that he would be living here, he just put it in a document that I got saying what everyone was doing and where they'd be living. I remember being 'wtf? He's supposed to be living at the cabin?!' He also had Kate living elsewhere, but then he discovered she also didn't have a car. So she's living here.

She also was never told she'd be living with a guy, and she didn't know until I told her when she got here. :/ She had even told her bf (of 3 years) that she wouldn't be living with a guy. I told Scottie today, I thought I had told him already- but I had just told people here and my grandparents but not actually him. D: I thought I had told him though. He's really not happy with the sitch. He trusts me, but he doesn't trust the other guy. I don't trust him either, I mean, I don't know him at all. Girls can have problems with guys that they KNOW, someone you don't know at all isn't any better.

I have to get a lock for my door, because none of the bedrooms actually have one.

As much as I'm not happy about the sitch, I need this experience and I love my job. Grr. Most of the time when Ward is a space cadet and forgets things it's nothing major, but this isn't one of those times. DDD:

But there isn't anything that I can do about it. Or at least it doesn't feel like it. It's been long enough that I feel like if I had had a problem about it, I should have already said something. But as I didn't feel like I had a choice, I didn't before. It's not like he asked for my input about it. He just made the decision and I found out about it later. I thought that he would have at least told Kate about it beforehand, but he didn't think that someone might find that to be RELEVANT information? That pisses me off more than not telling me- at least with me he had originally thought he was going to be living elsewhere. With Kate he KNEW that he'd be living here, but didn't think to tell her?

I'm not ok with this, but I need this experience. And I really love my job. Dx

He shows up 7 am Monday morning. I just found the note in my box, when I went to see if he had let me know anything about if/when Ben was showing up.

Well, I have to do a write up (brief) each week talking about what I did during the week to send to the refuge manager. I haven't been writing what I've been doing in detail, but I -can- give the brief rundown if I just copy them here. lol
