Dunno. Amanda's a "horse" and we get along great. I'm not supposed to get along with "tigers" but most of my friends are. I'm a monkey at heart anyway.
I came up with it in December '99 as a alias on the stileproject, back when it was like me and 30 other people on what passed for a forum (it's one of those threaded ones where all the posts are in a list going down the page). "Scatmonkey" sounded both repulsive and cute at the same time so I stuck with it. I think part of it was influenced by the death of a jazz musician named John "Scatman John" Larkin around that time. Who knows, it was spur of the moment.
It probably repels more people than I intend it too, but what can ya do?
Thanks very much for the profile, it is pretty good as far as I can tell. But as the profile says, my mood changes really confuse me!!!!! Thanks again, take care...
hm... i think i agree most with the stuff about dogs being very even-tempered and logical and throwing themselves into work that interests them. i don't know so much about that bit about being generous... is too bad, but i've got something of a lack-of-money phobia - perhaps i'll get over that once i'm out of school and know that i'm doing okay.
ha, and you're born in the year of the dragon, huh? apparently we sorts tend to collide, and i'll never trust you...
