My question is: who leashed you to begin with? OR How and to whom were you leashed? OR Were you purposefully unleashed, or did you escape? OR You're not a dog, so this doesn't make any sense.
I always think of it as the quiet, introverted maria being unleashed, in a literature sense, out into the world. like finally you've been given permission to run free and speak up.
I too enjoy Rachel's answer. And that's kind of what I thought all along until the pun hit me this weekend. You are so subtle. It must be that quiet and introverted part.
i think the only reason i 'got it' right away is because i first 'met' you as mdog, not maria. otherwise, i'm sure it would have passed me by like every other subtlety known to man.
and all this time i thought everybody was "getting it". [er... no! not that. well, wait, on second thought... nevermind]. my clever subtlety has been overlooked nigh these many months.

well, i never! (again, insert 'not recently')
mar - shocking, isn't it?
rachel - you win The Answer That Perfectly Captures This Blog More Succinctly Than I Could Ever Articulate Award.
but i suppose the quiet and introverted part might be involved too.
i don't get it. :O)
Oddly, I did not get it until you asked. I did not realize that there was something to get until that moment. Epiphany.
le sigh.
