Dragons!

I have a pet light switch. No, I did not finally sucumb to insanity, I mearly though of an intertaining way to say that I conisder the dragons on my lightswitch to be pets. The irritating Noah's ark switch plate that used to adorn my wall is now gone. I say the switch plate was irritating, becuase it was so raised that finding the switch became a challange. I hate that kind of cover. The person who designed it should have one installed in every room of thier home. See if they like it then! Anyway, I digress. I now have a beautiful pair of vivildy green dragons on my wall, and am discovering anew that I really like dragons. One of the best things about dragons is that you can use a lot of supper cool words to talk about them. One of my favorite obscure words refering to dragons is "squamus." (this will not show in your spell check or dictionary) Squamus means scaley. It is so much more fun to say that you found a squamus dragon, than a scaley dragon. Another really cool thing about dragons is that they breath fire. Think of what an asset that would be! Lets say I want a good excuses for not doing my homework? "Oh, my dragon ate it." Somehow, I don't think they would buy that! One of my favorite things about dragons is thier color. No one disputes the fact that healthy dragons are bright colors. The really cool thing is that they are way nicer colors than your average reptile. Greens, purples, blues, reds, yellows, and pearl are all aceptable dragon colors. If I could have a choice, I would like my very own purple dragon. I wonder what the nighboors would say? One of the down sides to having a full sized dragon would be the fewmites though.
I have my first piano lesson today. I guess it went alright. I have never had a guy teacher, so that is really different. In a way, I consider Dr. Sulton to be a bit of a dragon. I find him somewhat intimidating. However, I think we will get along well. When you come to think of it, a lot of people are a little like dragons. Some hoard things, some keep large collections (my hand goes up), some are rather fierce, and some have firey tempers and forked tounges. I guess in a way we really do have dragons among us! It all depends on how you define them.
