I’m so lucky that Sunny is actually a dog.

Took him to the vet’s on Friday for a general check-up and also to ask about him taking some tranquilisers short term to see if it’ll help with the cat fight situation. He also needs to take a natural supplement for his renal system, so this means a pill and a half each day.

which flame warrior are you?

I love this site – Flame Warriors.

I’d say Big Cat is the closest to my online personality, albeit not entirely accurate.

Big Cat would rather not fight…he enjoys peacefully observing forum conversations and laconically participates when the moods strikes. He playfully chases interesting threads, and from time to time uses a Newbie or Propellerhead as a convenient scratching post. He enjoys being stroked or petted, and tends to purr loudly. CAUTION: Don’t be fooled by his fuzzy, playful exterior. When provoked, Big Cat reacts with lightning speed and almost always lands on his feet after an attack. Big Cat often indulges himself by toying with his victim before delivering his lethal blows.

So which Flame Warrior are you and how close do you think your online personality is to your real life one? It’s curious how many people think they know you from reading what you’ve chosen to write on a public website. Weird.

I’ve ‘met’ quite a few of these Flame Warriors (or variations thereof) since becoming involved in internet forums and personal experience compels me to caution . . . beware The Sycophant!
