So I had an interesting discussion today about cats and dogs. I've been talking about how I want a dog, but I also am a huge cat lover. My friend asked me about it... and I responded with something that I had never really thought about it.
I'm a huge animal lover (mostly just dogs and cats). But my love for dogs and cats is different. It's not because of how cute they are (although they are!)... It's about their personalities.
And well, I have decided the reason I love cats is that I relate well to a cat. I've been told I'm like a cat in some ways. And I think cats are very graceful animals. I love their sleek features and graceful movements. But I also relate to their personalities. Cats are sassy. They can be SO picky. They are great at cuddling, but only when they want to. They are curious creatures. They are playful... and they love to nap. They can be quiet, or they can love to "talk", depending on the day/mood. They love warm sunshine.
Oh, wait... this gets better.
Why do I love dogs? Because it's what I seek in a man! Sound crazy? Well, maybe. Let me explain.
Dogs are... great companions. They are loyal. They are protective and strong. They love to play, but can also simply cuddle. They are cute, and sweet. And good at sensing your emotions. Dogs are just simply great.
But, isn't it ironic, that often women call men "dogs"?... but my view? If I found a man with the qualities I listed in a dog, I think I'd be a very happy woman! I am in NO way being derogatory towards men.
So, you may say, well-- if you're a cat, and the guy is a dog... how does that work? Well, have you ever heard the phrase "Opposites Attract"??? =)
So there you have it! Interesting thoughts that came from a random conversation.
I love my life! =) And can't wait to have a dog of my own (like literally!)... and well, you know... eventually have that MAN, with those qualities! =)

Are you stalking tonight?
Girls are incredible creatures. Very interesting, and very complicated. I can say this, because I am one. We have many talents. Each woman is unique. I love that about women. We're so intricate and fascinating. Now if only I could find a man who appreciates all the little things that make me, ME!
After recent conversations with a close girl friend, I laughed at how alike we can be in some respects. The biggest? Stalking. Ok.... so don't freak out. It's not a bad type of stalking-- promise.
So what do I mean by stalking? I mean... we get on Facebook, Myspace, etc. and well, we search for people (for most of us single ladies, it's usually men!)... look for information. Find out more about people. If we meet you and are intrigued by you, you can almost bet we'll try to find you. It's not to be creepy, honestly. It's simply because we're curious by nature. We want to know more about you. We want to see what you're really about, and with the wonderful creation of social networking, we can do these things. Maybe it's the idea that we can scope you out, learn a bit about you, to sort of figure out if you are compatible. Maybe it's because we're scared of falling for someone totally wrong for us, so if we get a little information, it's sort of a safety thing.
Stalking, well, is fun. It's not only men we stalk. We've been known to stalk other women. Why? Well, if it's someone we know the guy we like is interested in, we look at her to see what she has that we don't. To see what kind of girl he likes. To ask ourselves-- is she prettier than me? Yes, it's sad, I know. But it's what we do.
What causes us to stalk? Well, one thing-- boredom. It's summer, I'm sitting at home, and my mind starts to wander. Or perhaps I just see something questionable, and become intrigued, and I have to get to the bottom of it. It can be a picture, a comment, a status update. Whatever. It catches my attention, and I'm curious.
Like I said, women are complicated. We don't do this to be creepy (well, those of us who are sane).
For me, I am just overall a curious person. And well, I love learning about people. People intrigue me. I love how different people are. I just love it. Is that bad?
Well, maybe you think my stalking is creepy. Maybe you think I'm strange. But again, it's just one of those things that make me who I am. It's up to you-- love me or hate me... I am who I am, and I'm not changing for anyone!
