turn the cow out to pasture and let the swan out of her pen
I'm still confused about the whole swan thing. Also, I think it is quite likely the case that the monkey is my highest functioning animal. For instance, clearly, the swan can't write for crap. My sister's BF once said that the two of us were like 12 year old boys in women's bodies but he meant it as a compliment. One of the things I liked best about NG was that he mostly really liked and accepted my monkey. He gave off the vibe that he found my antics "cute", "amusing" or "sexy". I want to be with a man who will accept my monkey and that means that I want to be with a man who will "let me be happy".
