Do you prefer the morning or the evening, oranges or orange juice, swimming in the ocean or swimming in a pool (or not swimming at all)? Such trivial and inconsequential questions I believe allow insight into someone’s personality and mind more than customary questions posed when people first meet. A new friend posed a similar question to me a few days ago. I was hesitant to answer, not because I didn’t know what my answer would be, but because I was unsure why I was being asked this question. After I answered with obvious uncertainty in my voice, my friend explained her reasoning for the curious question. She said that she has found that it was a question that she asked everyone when she meets them because she believes the answer represented someone’s personality.
So, to introduce myself, I have posed a question for me to answer: Are you a dog-person or a cat-person? My answer: I am definitely a dog-person. I believe my answer shows that I appreciate the characteristics of dogs, and also posses several canine- like traits, such as loyalty, athleticism, and compassion. If you are to learn nothing more about me, at least I know that you know that I am indeed a dog-person and I hope that gives you a little insight about me. (Consequently, I hope that you are a dog-person so that the only thing you know about me doesn’t make you dislike me.) As obscure as my title may seem, it is very representative of me and that is exactly what I want my blog title to be.
