I'm not sure I get a lot of the references floating around here, but I'd have to say logic. Maybe seclusion.
When I named myself Saint John's county, it was a joke amongst me and my friend. We both live there. If you wish to be formal, address me as The Armed Republic of Saint John, or ARSJ.

I wouldn't mind being Gaiman's Death. She's pretty awesome. :)


And she looks like Tori Amos.

No, she doesn't. Delirium looks like Tori Amos. Death looks like a random goth chick.

No, the tree in that one issue looks like Tori Amos. Because Gaiman said it was her.

...that highway sign I just passed said "Too Far", didn't it?

Tori said it was, too, in the song "Horses."

I was reading the replies, and people kept talking about 'furries' and I wasn't exactly sure what they meant(hey, I live out in the woods for a reason, you know). So I looked it up on Google and....what the hell. Those people should be ashamed of themselves. I don't think I'll ever be able to look at the San Diego Chicken the same way ever again. And here's me, thinking that the writers for CSI made that up for that one episode.

Ok, cool. I guess it'd be the character Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Not literally but his thoughts, ideas, attitudes, his ideology I guess. No limits, push yourself farther each and everyday, don't stop ever learning, question authority, all of that. I hope that best suits me, it's what I strive towards, it's how I try to live.
