Critter count....1 snake....

Well, I was walking along at the park, considering that I should keep an annual critter count (prompted by the earlier sighting of a squirrel). I thought.....hmmm, no snakes yet this year....oops!

There was a snake about a foot off the path. On initial look, I thought he was black, but I saw a faint diamond pattern underlaying that. About 5 feet long. We both just stayed still for a moment, evaluating the situation, but the snake decided it wasn't worth it to cross the road while I was there and headed back down to the creek. I went to the OK snakes web-page and determined that he must be a black ratsnake--relatively harmless. Whew!

So:
Snakes 1
Squirrels 1
Rabbits 0
Assorted Shrews/Voles/Field mice (why bother)
Mississippi Kite 0
Coy-dog/Coyote 0

The big call is which character would I do this about? I could just picture doing this once a week...

SO: Shironne Anjir
1 - What is your character's favorite colour? Does she own anything that colour? Uh...hard to answer that. Green, I suppose, since she owns a ribbon that she remembers was green.

2 - Your character wants to read a book or rent a movie - what would he/she choose? Well, again we have a problem. She can't read a book, and movies don't exist for her.

3 - Does your character have any siblings? Do they get along? Two sisters. One-year-younger Perrin, whom Shironne finds a bit....um, naive, and eight-year-old Melanna who worships her (Shironne, I mean). They're sisters. What do you expect?

4 - Has your character ever had a hangover? How did it happen? She is drugged senseless in the beginning of Sins of the Fathers, but not voluntarily.

5 - What is your character's main mode of transportation? Carriages.

So, I might as well do Miko Lie at the same time:
1 - What is your character's favorite colour? Does he own anything that colour? Blue--his House color. Actually, all his clothes are uniforms or old uniforms, so no, he doesn't own anything that color.

2 - Your character wants to read a book or rent a movie - what would he/she choose? Miko's not much of a reader. Movies don't exist for him, but I could see him watching tapes of old football games if he had that option.

3 - Does your character have any siblings? Do they get along? He's got a half-brother whom he's never met, and whose identity he doesn't know. Once he finds that out, Miko spends most of his time being disappointed by him.

4 - Has your character ever had a hangover? How did it happen?
Frequently. He drinks to mute his dreams, so he gets drunk every time one comes on.

5 - What is your character's main mode of transportation?
Carriages or his own feet. (He's a little scared of horses.)

This is fun! ;o)
