Apart from the fact that if she avoided all animal-shaped objects there'd be no show (and she'd have to change jobs, and avoid most forms of currency), I figure that she's 1: afraid of angering whatever's making them talk, which is either supernatural and powerful, or in her own head; and 2: doesn't want to lose her "specialness." Admittedly, asking for the exorcism goes against #2, but as Gen-Y-er, her need for specialness wars with her need for anonymity. ;) ------------------------------ End of stillpt-digest V6 #19 ****************************
