Meet your daemon (Golden Compass)

[FloridaJudy]

I'm a lion. Who'da thunk it? I always thought I was something small, furry and shy - like a lemur.

1. I did that some time ago.

I have an ocelot named "Anicetos" and am modest, spontaneous, solitary, a leader, and assertive.

:D

[malta blue]

2. I am a mouse...

shy, responsible, clever, humble and competetive.

[ThomCat]

21. That's cool.

I have friends with rodents for pets. I prefer rats. They're awesome little guys and very smart.

[ThomCat]

3. Mine's a Tiger.

Go figure, for a guy named Thomcat. :P

[mainegreen]

4. Artemis the Mouse

:shrug:

[VenusRising]

5. Tiger.

If you haven't read the books, they are awesome!! I finished all three of them in one week.

I can't wait to see the movie! :bounce:

[FloridaJudy]

8. I finished them in a week as well

Of course, I'd read them before: someone recommended them as "fantasy for thinking agnostics", which is an irresistible description.

I can't wait to see the armored bears! And the wheeled critters (though those are in the last book). I also wonder if "Mrs. Coulter" was inspired by her real-life namesake, though Mrs. Coulter is supposed to be beautiful and charming, which Annthrax never was.

[VenusRising]

11. I'm with you on the armored bears!

I really hope I'm not disappointed. That would suck!!

I thought the same about the Mrs. Coulter connection as did my husband when he read it. I think the aptitude of evil of Mrs. Coulter is what makes the name go so well.

[crispini]

13. I'm a tiger too.

I really enjoyed the books. :D I just hope the movie does them justice. I have heard there have been several significant changes.

[Phillycat]

14. Me too.

[ThomCat]

19. I just picked them up yesterday. I'll be reading the first on

on my trip this weekend. It'll be my airport reading.

[VenusRising]

29. Take the first 2 books.

The story tends to keep moving so you get through them pretty fast. I mean if you're going to be in the airport and on a plane, it's a great way to pass the time.

Have a safe trip. :hi:

[ThomCat]

32. Too late now. I'm going to the airport from the office.

:P

Ah well. I'll probably be too medicated to read much of the time. :(

I will definitely try to have a very safe trip. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving too. :hug:

[VenusRising]

33. Obviously next time you should call and check with me

before you pack. :eyes: :P

You have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Woohoo! Just a little over a month until lizziegrace's party! I can't wait to finally hug you for myself. :hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. i got a raccoon.

[ThomCat]

22. Very smart, very savy,

and very vicious. :scared:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. really? it didnt say i was vicious

[ThomCat]

24. I don't know what the site says about racoons.

I'm just going by experience. There were a lot of the little beasts around where I grew up. They're beautiful, and might be smarter than dogs. But they could definitely be vicious.

[NewJeffCT]

7. Jackal

Spontaneous, modest, flexible, solitary, and outgoing.

I'm not really outgoing at all, but I'd agree with the rest.

Hmmm, I would have guessed "Stripe-Assed Baboon".

[unsavedtrash]

12. Gibbon n/t

[Spacemom]

[_testify_]

25. Chimpanzee

[tigereye]

26. can't wait to see the film

amazingly conplex books....

[LynzM]

34. Yes, but have you *read* about what they're leaving out of the movies?

It's not going to be anything like the book(s)... :(

[tigereye]

39. I read that they are down-playing the idea of the Magisterium as the church-

so as not to offend church-folk, but I also read that the author said the point of the book was more anti-authoritarian/anti-fascist than anti-religion.

However, the book was one of the most intense critiques of some aspects of religion that I have ever seen in a children's book.


I've only read it out loud to my kid once, though, so I'd probably need to reread to get a better feel. My husband has loved the books for years, and has read it many more times than I have.

[TimeChaser]

35. I am a mouse.

I remember this from some time ago too. I think I was a mouse then as well. Her name is Hermesha.

It says I am solitary, inquisitive, dependable, relaxed and outgoing. YMMV.

[supernova]

36. Solitary and Outgoing?

What a combo!

:D

:hug:

[billyskank]

38. Hmmmm

I didn't actually pay any attention to that! But that's what it said.

So here I am. Solitary and outgoing. I like to go out, just on my own. :crazy:

:hug:

[Inchworm]

37. My Daemon is Androne

because I am assertive, clever, modest, sociable and inquisitive.

Who woulda thunk?

:hi:

[redqueen]

I don't think so...
