The Bat (Here's your results! Your spirit animal has a Nobility ranking of 9 out of 18.)
Your spirit animal is the bat. They are remakable creatures that guide themselves through the night using sonar. They are a fairly common spirit animal, but are neither exceptional nor despisable in regards to nobility. Being nocturnal, they have not really "seen the light", and there is much they are still unaware of, but they have their own special way of navigating the world, which though unconventional, works just fine.
this is the best description of me i have ever heard:
"YOU LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF GIRL WHO LIKES TO REEEEEAAAAD. NOT LIKE I'M SAYING YOU'RE A GEEK OR NOTHIN'."
if you want to know what other people think, go here
Who I'd like to meet: Fujiko Mine. Eliza duchess of Qwghlm. And these ladies :

my mom just told me about this bottle of valium that she has that is fourty years old. she took it from her mother's medicine cabinet when she was a young lady.
Okkervil River http://www. myspace. com/okkervilriver I don't have the new album yet. I'd totally burn you a cd, but the burner has been broken for a long time. I'd totally make a Okkervil muxtape if I could... oh well.
