10 Signs You Might Be JimAndFrank
  1. You promised you'd keep your blog Muppet-free, but you now write one every second week.
  2. You grew up wanting to be an author or going into publishing due to JK Rowling, but now Jim Henson has convinced you that you want a career in television.
  3. You embarrassingly once sang in front of the entire school because you were convinced you could actually sing.
  4. You have to prevent yourself from mentioning one of your fandoms cause you know it will send you into a never ending rant.
  5. Music can be the difference between having a good and a bad day.
  6. Muppet Central makes up the majority of your social life.
  7. You still want a horse from your parents for Christmas despite being 20.
  8. You find it hard to take a compliment.
  9. You want to live in Canada at some point in your life.
  10. Your biggest wish is to meet Steve Whitmire.

On the plus side, in recent years, it's spread to my left hand, and now I'm actually able to do passable lip-syncing with my left hand, but obviously, it's still not as polished or natural as my right hand.

The funny thing is Caroll once said, "your left hand is rather stupid when you're right-handed," and I can attest to that in reverse as well: I've worked rods left-handed so long that if I try puppeteering left-handed, my right hand grabs the rods and are like "does not compute."
Yeah, I'm pretty much right-handed all the way with puppeteering. I can't manipulate the mouth very well with my left hand, and I'm just so used to doing it the opposite way. Coincidentally, it happens the same with live-hand puppets, too - it's easier to use my left hand for the arm and right hand for the mouth, vise versa.

Anywho...

Nothing wrong with that. In fact, animals are some of the most loyal friends you can have.
I wish I had been able to be closer with my dog, but he was kind of psycho, so we had to return him to the shelter. Thankfully, our dog (Dusty) has a new owner out in the country (heh, poor suckers).
