I picked "other" for the last question because if someone told me that my behavior was human I'd just think it was weird. Of course my behavior is human. I am a human. That's just how I roll.
Yeah, part of the reason that I asked that question is because I am often annoyed when people use the word "human" as an adjective (to describe a person or a person's behavior). :)
I'm sure it's great! I've just never seen it. However, we did do a dance to the "pair of new shoes with matching laces" song in day camp, back when I was around eight.
Oh my god, some days I wish my mother didn't know me as well as she does.
If someone told me my behaviour was very human, I would be a mix of insulted and flattered. It means, if we're running with the science fiction and fantasy definition, that I am capable of great things, but that I am also deeply flawed. No one really likes to be told that they are deeply flawed.
I didn't finish the name thing! I type too much. Anyway, the full thing is: Well, my chinchillas are named Molly & Tonks after Harry Potter characters... as for kids, it varies. It wouldn't necessarily be "after" a character... I usually end up liking/being exposed to names through books, and characteristics characters display, but it's never "Oh, I want to name my kid this JUST because of so-and-so!" Does that make any sense?
I think "real you" type ideas can get self-defeating after a while. Whatever you do is you. However, it's true that with some people you just feel like they'd be less surprised by what you'd do. I get this a lot, to be honest, I feel like for almost everyone I know, there's some facet or something I might to that would make them go o_O But in general my mommy knows me best ;) And myself.
