Pocket and I tend to disagree about quite a few things. Not to the point of fighting - just a sort of friendly bicker. A good example is ... well, right now, my favourite song is This Love by Maroon 5, but Pocket's is Faint by Linkin Park. We constantly argue over the better song. ( But would definetely choose the other's song as a second favourite. Right now Pocket is singing along to This Love. ) When I told one of my friends about this, she seemed very surprised.
"But Pocket's you, really. Wouldn't he share all the same opinions and everything?"
I wasn't sure what to say. The only thing I could think of, was, "Well, if we were in agreeance over everything, he'd be no fun to talk to, would he? It's be like, 'That movie was good. What do you think, Pocket?' 'I think it was good, too.' He'd be boring." My friend still seemed confused and she is someone who is extremely curious about dæmons and tries to talk to hers, so I do my best to answer all her questions. So my question is this -
How do I explain to someone that Pocket is me - but not me? The answer's probably simple, I'm just not getting something here. And does anyone else's dæmon like to slyly start a good argument?

Well, if your dæmon was you, and it was as simple as that... what would be the point in having dæmons? Of calling them anything other than yourself? Otherwise you'd just need to say, "I'm my dæmon," but that's not how it is.
He is the voice in your head, your conscience, animus, soul, and guiding spirit. He is the essential part of you, but your personalities aren't identical. A dæmon couldn't be of much use to their human if they didn't think differently sometimes. Like if someone who's too passive all the time has a dæmon who's overly passive, or an extremely aggressive person has an aggressive dæmon, or if the dæmon agrees that stealing is alright, etc. Maybe you can explain that the dæmon is a more sensible version of you. He exists inside partially to balance you out. =) He can't do that if he's your twin in personality. I guess Pocket can consider "Faint" to be a better song than "This Love," just like he can consider doing your homework better than not doing it.
BTW, Rookie agrees with your dæmon. "Faint" is an awesome song. =P

That makes a lot of sense. I probably couldn't explain it quite so well as you do, but I'll try my best. ^^;

Here's what I think; Maybe your song choices have something to do with your different personalities. I mean, is Faint a more "aggressive" song than This Love? Just a thought, so don't attack me...

Hello, I am in front of a computer once more (sadly it's only borrowed  ) and thought I'd chip in.  Panaka loves starting arguments with me. It's a load of fun once he gets into his stride. He's constantly teasing me about things, whether it's the guy I like or the way I just walked into a door. Last week we had a ten-minute word duel about whether we should say sidewalk or pavement  lol! It was completely pointless but rather amusing. Side note: Yay, we love Faint! Great song... |

Well, I don't know why our daemons disagree with us (I'm agreeing with Okibi right now) but you also asked if anyone else has a daemon that disagrees with them, and yes, Auraia does. For instance, history is my favorite subject in school, but shei finds it extremely boring. There are several things we don't agree with like this, so I just thought I'd throw this out there.  |

Romulues and I tend to be on the same page very often. The only thing we tend to disagree about is the people I choose to be friends with. He usually dislikes them, and then the majority turns out to be people I don't really like. He's like an advisor. I love it. ^^

Me an' Kyoldie disagree all the time. For example, I say that today is Wednesday. She, on the other, refuses to stray from the idea that it's Tuesday. IT'S WEDNESDAY! Well, maybe it is Tuesday, but that's beside the point. We don't agree on much. Another example: Ky says that you can't use Klingon words in Scrabble. I say you can.
