it’s hard for me to say.

My western astrology sign is Scorpio, but nobody likes to compare themselves to an arachnid. In Asian astrology, I was born in the year of the dog, and that never bothered me much, so perhaps that’s the answer.

One of my very early memories is the moment I realized, no matter how hard I pretended, I could not turn myself into a dog and go trotting around the neighborhood having adventures with our spaniel. I must have been about two or three, and sat under the kitchen table feeling my face and realizing I could not get it to grow into a muzzle. Very disappointing.
