OK, this silly little meme, from

skye_ds fills me with happy. The Fish People were always my favorite Lovecraftian horror, anyhow. (I love the story where the narrator first becomes aware of the awfulness of the Fish People, only to realize with slow growing horror by the end of the story that he's turning into one of them and because it's genetic he can do nothing about it. Love. I think it was "the shadow over Innsmouth." Although my very favorite Lovecraftian stories are written by Neil Gaiman).

Your Score: Deep One

You scored 0 Unearthliness, 3 Sheer Horror, 5 Power, and 7 Intelligence!

You are one of the bulgy-eyed fish people that populate the earth's depths and worship the forbidden god Dagon. While you are young enough, you can get by among the surface-dwellers by wearing high collars to conceal your gills and large shoes that conceal your webbed feet. But, as you get older, "the change" will increasingly come over you, and the surface will become awkward. Soon, the call of your people in the sea will draw you back within its soothing waves. Fortunately, you will live forever among your people beneath the depths.

I need to sketch Jackel as a Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish Perrrrrrrrrrrrrrson. With GILLS. Can I convey clammy and fish-eyed at the same time as fur, though? 's a Artistic Challenge.

Also: it's October. My favorite month of the year. It's beautiful. I've had a really delightful and excellent few days. There will be kayaking on Saturday if the weather holds...my family now has a tandem kayak and a single and I am dying to get my paws on them. My dogs and cats and parrots and horses and bunnies and snake and poultry and tropical fish are all full of awesome. Life is feelin' pretty good, recent heartaches aside. The proverbial broken heart can in fact be survived, apparently, which is...kinda nice, because, well, it's pretty painful, dammit. Ow.

Now, if I could *just get the chant from yesterday afternoon's spiral dance out of my head.* Please? I mean seriously brain, there was that really cool one at the sprial dance...uh...Yule before last? That I really wanted to remember, and you simply couldn't be convinced to recall even the melody to it even the morning after. Why remember THIS one? Honestly, at the time it was very sweet and cute, but right now, um, it's less so. We can replace it with another tune for just a little while, can't we, so I don't go completely insane? 'K, brain? Are you listening?!?!!

Maybe it's a sign that I'm about to turn into a Fish Person. I mean really, that would explain a lot about me in general.

Wait. A Fish Person who sings cutesy pagan chants about how wonderful love is? Um. hmmm. That would be a totally different flavor of Lovecraftian Horror, I think.

I'm headed back to the sea soon, you guys. These high collars are really beginning to chafe my gills recently.
