My Spirit Animal
This has to be the most ridiculous post I've ever written, but I felt so compelled...
I just finished reading Girls in White Dresses by Jennifer Close. Yes, it's chic lit (as they say), but it was a fun, light read; something I was desperately seeking as a break to Sophie's Choice (which I still have not finished).
One of the girls in the book is invited to a costume party where you're suppose to go dressed up as your spirit animal. (Isn't that the most bizarre thing you're ever heard! Don't you wish you were invited?!?) My best guess is that your spirit animal is an animal that embodies who you are.
And so, I got to thinking... If I had a spirit animal what would it be?
The answer: A hybrid of a ninja turtle and a chicken with its head cut off. If I had mad photoshop skills, I'd show you what I meant, but I don't. If I had to dress up, I'd have a turtle shell with chicken feet and chicken "paws." I'd carry a nun-chuck and cover my head with a ski mask. It would be the most ridiculous thing you could ever fathom. :)
But why would my spirit animal be a ninja turtle/chicken with its head cut off you ask?
Well, I'm like a turtle in that sometimes I just need my space and privacy. Shells are great for that. Also, sometimes I get a little freaked out and uncomfortable and a shell would be perfect for that too.
I'm be a ninja turtle because I see myself as a sometimes "tough" person. I have a pretty independent I can do it myself attitude, and I like to think if I needed to conquer the world, given a pair of nun-chucks and some sweet Macgyver skills I could do it! Maybe a cape too, because I'd like to be fashionable and a cape seems like the perfect thing.
Finally, sometimes the ADD or the Ester in me shows, and that is the chicken with its head cut off portion of my spirit animal. While typically I'm pretty cool and calm like a turtle, other times I feel like my head and body are separated and I'm just running around trying to figure out what to do with myself as a result. Plus, the chicken part makes me think of chicken little... and sometimes I think the sky is falling and what am I going to do about it?
Haha, riduclousness!
On another note, I would just like to add, this book made me literally laugh out loud. I think this is one of those weird Melanie-isms. Books sometimes make me laugh. When I'm in public places, I try to keep quiet, but sometimes a smirk escapes and I just cannot help myself. Then I think about how other people see me: that Asian girl... sitting in the corner reading... smiling and laughing... at a book...
Today, I sat on the couch, read my book and laughed out loud... by myself... just me and the dog... he probably things I'm so weird... LOL
