cleverly disguised as a responsible adult

If life was like the fantasy novels that I read, it would be evident to all that my elemental affinity is water. It's just coincidence that Scorpio is classified as a water sign...really... I feel my most calm around water; if I have a choice, it's what I prefer. Some of my friends are probably saying to themselves, "but, she's a pyro...how can a pyro be a hydrophile?!" Yeah, I like fire - it's fun to play with - but I'm so much more comfortable around water. I like rivers, lakes, oceans, and storms. I like snow and ice; I like fog and mist. My thought patterns are most like water with currents, tides, and undertows. I can be crystal-clear or totally murky. Anyone who's ever sailed knows that the water is sometimes forgiving and sometimes won't let you make a single mistake without penalty. I go between the two more often than I care to admit. There's more, of course, but I don't really feel like stretching the metaphor too far...

Why bring this up? My darling cousin, dragsev, got me thinking about it, and it was a long bus ride home this evening.
