If you could shrink any animal down to miniature size and carry it around in your pocket, which animal would you choose?
Automatically I think that it would be a cat, cat's are so friggin cuddly! But then I think about how nearly everything is totally adorable when it is miniaturized and what if you could have like a miniature T-Rex in your pocket? And so I think "dinosaur" has to be my answer. Shrunk down to miniature size it wouldn't be able to bite my head off and, as far as I can tell, this is the only reason that people don't really like dinosaurs. Besides, how (totally, completely!) rad would it be to just whip out your pocket sized T-Rex. Practically speaking, his (or her) tough skin (scales?) would make him (or her) a "durable" pet / plaything / pocket creature. I might even be able to sit on my dino without causing lasting harm (not that I intend to).
How would you describe your perfect evening in six words (e.g., I stayed home and ate pasta)?
There is not just "one perfect evening" because, surprise surprise, different nights I'm in the mood for different things. So, here's a smattering of "perfect evening" options:
I stayed home and ate cake.
I stayed home and drank wine.
I conversed meaningfully with great friends.
I went to bed when tired.
I discovered magic in my life.
I danced until I could not.
I explored and understood and loved.
ALSO, I can't believe that I didn't know about this until today:
