Survey Like None Other

The goal is to have this in every single AOL Journal. What do you have in common with others? Do you like the same things? Post this and put the title of your entry "Survey Like None-Other!"  This is a great way to introduce yourself to new readers!

And you should do it even if you NEVER do these.

1. What sign are you?   Leo.

2. What is your favorite color?  Crayola Blue Green

3. How many waffles could you eat in one sitting?   One.

4. Can you touch your tongue to your nose?  No.

5. If you had to choose between cats and dogs, which would it be?  Cats.

6. What is something you have learned recently?  Who Natan Sharansky is.

7. What is your favorite quote? The Henry Beston one that pops up in this journal from time to time:

We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals . . . We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.

Alternatively, from maps of centuries past (apocryphyl but whatever; still a great concept):

"Here there be dragons."

8. What is your favorite entry in your own journal?  Oh, I like this one, I guess. And my Judi Heartsong winner.  And this one, written after my stepmother died.  I guess three pieces out of a year-and-a-half isn't bad.
