probably another mammal, either a mountain goat or polar/grizzly bear. Mostly because of the climate and environment both live in. Plus if I was a bear no one would mess with MEEEE!!! ROAR!! After seeing mountain goats while hiking around in the rockies I loved how peaceful and noble these creatures seemed. Plus they always have an amazing view of the world from up top. I love cold weather as well...but also really hot weather(In the middle is just too easy, haah)

But I'd rather stay human, less problems. I don't have to ram someone for a patch of grass...OR DO I ARGGGGG!!!!

Nepal llam fikkal in my 90 degree room with no air circulation WEEEEE!!!! Some kind of green next.

:lol: So many beloved animals, so many revered animals. And human was not a choice. :lol: Perhaps I should have said if you had to choose ...

Tough choice, an eagle or falcon are certainly HIGH up on the list, why not a crane or maybe or heron. I think I would want to fly.

Began the TD with Kirameki asamushi shincha from O-Cha. Quite awesome. SweeTea enjoyed hers, Koi, Pyrit Wulong, TEAh, and Gandalf joined the TeaPartay.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

When I saw this poll I thought this was something about George Orwells animal farm, Im glad I wasn't the only one 8)

I'd want to be a chicken, so I could taste delicious.

Guoyan Nannuo for breakfast, green chai now

If I had to choose, I'd be a cat. After all, I like stretching out in the sun, treats, and getting cuddled.

Having some medium-roasted Anxi TGY to brighten up this gloomy Sunday.

I'd like to say 'bird' but there seem to be an awful lot of cats around :(


But perhaps an Osprey could look after itself :lol:

I could soar above it all! Land or Sea, Mountain or Lake!

And fish is healthy!

today I would like to be a bear because I want to eat everything in sight and then sleep for a couple months and wake up to the promise of spring and all my problems gone. I think I would probably be a different animal everyday depending on what animal powers I needed for the day. Being able to fly would be so much cheaper and less stressful than taking planes :) I have been mastered Yutaka Midori and am moving on to Miyabi. I'm thinking that timing, amount and temp should be close to those I have come up with for yutaka.

For those who haven't seen this yet, here's a funny post on being a bear. I have no idea who the original author is.


Gonna be a bear

In this life I'm a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.

When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake up to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.

If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat away anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.

If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.

YUP, GONNA BE A BEAR

<ascared o' bears>

Sencha the Ultimate from Zencha was up next.

And finally Kukicha w/ Matcha from Maeda-en to finish the TD while Mrs. Chip and I visited Korean friends. The hostess broke out some very familiar looking Korean lidded cup sets ... from Hankook. She has had them for years and never used them. I have a feeling now that I know they exist, they will get frequent use. :D
