All this talk about animal totems have inspired me. I was just thinking about how native American Indian names were based on characterization or qualities a person possessed. So a strong individual might be named as "Stands with a fist" What would your name be? "Talks alot"?...
I think my name would be Stream. I have alot of stick-to-it-ness and consistancy. I'm not particulary strong but I can wear away rock (a tough situation) because I keep going and keep at it. and when the situation gets really toughand rain fall is heavy, I turn into a river, but I'm usually just a stream.

One Who Complains About Hemmeroihds A Wee Bit Too Loudly, kthx.

And then all of the Native-Americans would simultaneously look at each other in a confused fashion and scratch their heads in synchronized perfection. Indians, you know.
