Sorry kitsune, I didn't have my sarcasm hand up. I couldn't agree with you more. I was basically bashing peole who go out and shop for a totem that they fancy.

I also wonder if a person could have a totem and not deserve it, which is what I thought you posted at first glance.

How about if you weren't someone famous, but rather a nobody bum, a scumbag, thief, drunkard, and all around loser? Would you admit to that?

Could be. I don't know. I certainly don't claim to understand much about it. I'm a huge skeptic about this kind of stuff, but I have had experiences in my own life that conflict with my thoughts on this kind of thing. I will say that if you subscribe to the idea of a totem, I think it is very possible to be placed in a position you don't enjoy and one you did not want.

Sure, I could still make a good book out of that. What are they going to do, prosecute me for crimes committed in my past life?

Wrong. Rooster.

Where's mine, since you're waiving your fee today?

I was going to mention that, despite years of waiting patiently, my totem has not yet presented itself to me. Either that, or I've been too stupid to notice. I'd like to think that it is the common housecat, but I'd like to be *sure*, I think.

I can't be too easy, though. Even Lumberjim the Mystic didn't peg one for me.

Oh, and BigV...LJ's isn't a rooster...its a peacock.
