I have read Neil Gaiman's The Sandman a number of times - the whole series that is, and sometimes I'll take a break and wonder, "Which of the seven? Which of the Seven?" Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Despair, Desire or Delirium?

Rarely do I pick Death. Something about living in that much non-reality. I don't know. It's just not me. Some times I choose Death. She has so many people to see, places to go, stories to end and what can I say? I'm a people person. But mostly I pick Delirium. It really has nothing to do with her once being Delight, but almost everything to do with fish and butterflies. The youngest (in my experience) is gonna be misunderstood and she deals with the frustration (and fear - mostly of Dream) pretty good - all things considered.

EDIT: And how could I forget: I love the fact that the only thing about her that is always the same is her eye color - one blue and one green.

Now, I know I can't be the only person who has read these books and wondered this same thing - can I? So now I pose the question to you. Which would be, if you could be one, and why?

This should be fun.
