Really?

You Are a Pegasus
You are a perfectionist, with an eye for beauty.
You know how to live a good life - and you rarely deviate from your good taste.
While you aren't outgoing, you have excellent social skills.
People both admire you - and feel very comfortable around you.




Interesting. When I was little, probably 4 or 5 since I remember both my brothers and my sister being in the car with me AND both my mom and dad, I saw a red Pegasus lit up in the sky. We were driving by a Mobil gas station and I looked out the window and shouted, "Look, there's a Puh-GAY-sis!" Everyone laughed at me because of how I pronounced it, I was embarrassed but convinced I had seen a real Pegasus.



It wasn't until later that they wondered how I knew what it was.



My mom remembers this almost as clearly as I do because they had no idea I knew what a Pegasus was but she knew I must have read about it because of my phonetic pronunciation. My family didn't know that I would spend hours going through my brothers bookshelves (the same ones that are in my kitchen now, the ones he built in high school), reading his books and looking at his albums. Once my oldest brother left for college and the next oldest left for the Army, I spent all my free time in their room listening to their music, reading and going through their closets looking for things that would remind me of them.



True story.


UPDATE: much better picture.
