Shoot I typed this whole thing up and then accidentally hit the wrong backspace and have to retype it!
Anyway, in fairness, I'll give my answers, although they are tainted by already knowing the rationale!
Animal: Wolf -- Independent, Strong, Cunning
Color: Blue -- Calm, Collected, Caring
Water: Swimming Pool -- Safe, Private/Personal, Playful
The animal represents how other people see you. The color allowed you to describe the way you see yourself in a new light, such that you didn't realize it was just a self description 🙂.
Last... the water. It's a little inappropriate, but it represents how you view sex.
I'm glad our SDN people are so fun!
Once I heard an answer "The bay. Cold, dark, smells like fish."!!!
