Animals
Wild, tame, however you find them. By special request of Red-Tailed HAWK. (Elassë-Adæl: the topic can be stretched to include crow girls. We like them, too.)

in February 14th, 2007 @ 12:22Oh. We have about a million Madagascar hissing cockroaches and two cats as pets (Ginger and Beth.) I saw a woodpecker on the bus ride home on Monday. It was white with a red head. Not ivory-billed. Not that I would see one in the middle of Pittsburgh, but you know…
I love birds. I absolutely love the aviary here, with the parrots and all. I could sit for hours watching and talking to and imitating the birds there. :&hearts:
I had a dream about two amazing nice kittens, Rocky, who was a light ginger tabby, and Sugar, who was white with tiny dark ginger spots. If we see kittens or cats like them at the Humane Society, we have to get them. They were the sweetest cats.

DRAGONS (and unicorns and sphinxes and pheonixes and centaurs and mermaids etc……….)!!!!!!!!!! oh, and wungs if anyone ever bothers to go back to that thread. I really want a pet, a dog preferably, but mi madre es allergic to everything with hair, fur or feathers. I’d like to get a snake because they’re pretty awesome, but I think my dad wouldn’t like one in the house. At volleyball, the team was in the science lab and me and this one other girls were the only people who could hold it without freaking out! I don’t get it. Snakes are cool.

Red-tailed HAWK
in February 14th, 2007 @ 15:06Wow! I didn’t know the thread would be started so fast! I was playing in the snow, and just got back inside. That’s why I haven’t written yet. Thanks, Gapas!
Good morning to you, Em, but you posted that this afternoon! (is confuzzled) Em, look out for the POPOPO!
Anyway, my favorite bird is not the Red-tailed Hawk, but the Dark-eyed Junco (a kind of sparrow.) Why then, did I decide to make that my name? Because the hawk is cooler 8) than the HUMBLE JUNCO.
CAPITAL LETTERS MAKE THE JUNCO LOOK HUMBLE, DON’T THEY?It’s sooooo coooooool 8) that I got to start a threeeeeeaaaaad!

in February 14th, 2007 @ 16:147 – Hawks are cool. I see six or seven of them around here in one year. However, they are often attacked by large groups of other birds.
i remember a few years ago when these crows kept on attacking one right in our backyard. I went out and scared the crows away, but I think the hawk died. 
8 – Alerting POPOPO! Nah, I guess most people like animals.
5 – Sounds like my friends’ cat. Just kinda sits there and looks at you like “what are these big pink idiotic creatures doing? Oh well, at least they feed me.”

HAHA, this is a good thread for me since i live on a farm. I also have a pig, but i don’t like him, he thinks he’s a calf so he eats the calf feed, but he has to step in it to reach so he makes a mess. and i have lots of cats and chickens and i’m getting a dog and i used to have rabbits and i used to have a cat that used the toilet, i’m not kidding, seriously, he used the toilet.
end of rant… I just really like animals and i’m tired so i’m being a little crazy

in February 14th, 2007 @ 19:2114-I like to move it, move it. *dances* That song is mildly annoying. Yet amazing. Just amazingly annoying i guess. Or not. Idk.
Speaking of which, this is the entirely wrong thread for it, but who thinks there’s such a thing as country rock? Hecht claims there is, hewwit and i think there isn’t. Hunter invoked the eagles, but they aren’t country at all, except for a few songs that might be at a stretch, but nothing is both at the same time. Isn’t it entirely oxymoronic? Idk, what do you people think? /probably you should move this discussion to the random thread but i g2g so i can’t bye

I don’t exactly have a fav. animal. Too bad we don’t know what everyone looks like… then we could like.. decide what animals they look like! that would be fuuuuun… or maybe on their personality. Also would be fun. I did that in school during lunch. ’twas fun.

in February 15th, 2007 @ 18:0625 – the GAPA’s way of saying, “none of us.” (haha, no. Just guessing).
I like elephants, they’re one of my favorite animals (I went to South Africa, and we got to see tons of them in the wild..they’re really amazing creatures), but I’m also a bit scared of them. My teacher worked for the Peace Corps in Cameroon, and when her mom visited her she was killed by a rampaging elephant. And one of the elephants at our zoo killed a zookeeper. So I’m a bit afraid of them. But I also really like them.

The Skipper Nancy
in February 15th, 2007 @ 20:23(16) No. Country is country and rock is rock. They are immutable. An excellent word. I learned it from The origin of species. Not sure it entirely fits in this context, but oh well.
Animals are cool. I’m rather fond of wombats meself.
(28) There’s a really cool prairie dog exhibit at the wildlife museum-slash-zoo thing near where I live. They have a viewing area for the above ground area, and then a glass panel where you can look into the underground burrows like an ant farm.
Is anyone here familiar with Peter Singer?

Venerable Lady Elasse Adael the Verdant of West Smeesborough
in February 18th, 2007 @ 12:5026- no, that’s the gapa’s way of speaking like the crow girls.
27- I started with Someplace to be Flying. It’s a good one to start with, plus you get to meet the crow girls! Then, I might read Waifs and Strays which is a collection of stories of his that are catagorized as young adult, but I think it’s helpfull to meet some of his main characters (he has a group of newford characters that are seen in various books. They aren’t a series really, just connected books. There is a chronological order in newford time for them, but it doesn’t really matter what order you read them in, though I have heard that The Onion Girl (which I haven’t yet read) is better to read once you know a lot of his characters.) After Waifs and Strays I’d start reading his Newford collections in any order. These are Tapping the Dream Tree, Dreams Underfoot, Moonlight and Vines and The Ivory and the Horn.
30- which books? I take it you’re the gapa who’s being veryvery sneaky and writing in my posts^_^ so I take it you’ve read Someplace to be Flying or something with the crow girls…

in February 18th, 2007 @ 20:4936- I’m glad! heh, I don’t much either, hence the really long title being on the last post of mine on this thread. As for the alter ego threads, if very many people had read someplace to be flying when the first one was alive, they would have guessed me right away as I used the name crow girl and I’m the one who keeps recommending Someplace to be Flying.

in February 19th, 2007 @ 16:2545- the crow girls are two girls who are veryvery energetic and sugar loving, as well as brave. Their appearence is rather crow-like. They are characters in Someplace to be Flying by Charles de Lint as well as some of his short stories.
40- cool!
I want a guinea pig. I guinea pig-sat my friends guinea pig once and he was rather cute. I don’t have any pets right now. I like birds.
I also like pets such as dogs, cats and guinea pigs that one can pet.

They just got kittens, so whenever they let them outside they have to watch them, because the hawk could pick them up…

in March 7th, 2007 @ 05:46I’m afraid the ivory-billed woodpecker is looking extinct again. Other researchers have seriously questioned the evidence that it still exists, and most experts now think the sightings were a mistake. They’re not sure, but the signs aren’t good. Stay tuned…
