Another Test...
Got this from WaterCarriers...who got it from another site...;-)
Here's the link: http://www.methodx.org/thelife/test.asp
It came up with this....I think it's funny...
You are a Mystic, known for your imaginative, intuitive spirituality. You value peace, harmony, and inner silence. Mystics are nurtured by walking alone in the woods or sitting quietly with a trusted friend. You may also enjoy poetry, meditation, wordless prayer, candles, art, books, and anything else that helps you connect with God.
Mystics experience God best through rich images and symbols. You are contemplative, introspective, intuitive, and focused on an inner world as real to you as the exterior one. Hearing from God is more important to you than speaking to God. Others may attribute human characteristics to God, but you see God as ineffable, unnamable, and more vast than any known category. You are intrigued by God's mystery.
Mystics want to inspire and persuade others, and need to live lives of significance. At times you push the envelope of spirituality, helping the rest of us imagine who we might become if we followed your lead.
Sometimes you may feel a bit guilty about your need for solitude and silence. If so, you probably have bought into the American myth that says being alone and doing nothing is lazy, antisocial, and unproductive. Stop it -- now. Give yourself permission to retreat and be alone. It's essential for your well-being.
On the other hand, don't get so carried away retreating that you become a recluse. That only deprives the world of your gifts and deprives you of the lessons that come from being with others. Some Mystics may have a true vocation for solitary prayer, but the rest of you need to alternate retreat time with involvement and interaction.
Famous Mystics:
Thomas Merton Enya John (the Gospel writer) Brother Lawrence (Practicing the Presence of God) Desert mothers and fathers Charlie Brown Sister Wendy Phoebe Buffay Julian of Norwich Luke Anthony de Mello The Who
Do you think I fit?? LOL

Inane Cuteness
Hello all.
A friend of mine is really good at drawing cute Anime type things. And her and her roommate decided on what type of "animal" best fits me right now.
So I thought I would share it with you.
He's an Otter, and he's a rapier fighter...(as am I, fighter not an actual otter.)
Thought I would share it, it's light, it's fluffy, and I don't feel like delving today, so I thought..it's been almost a month, should blog something...so here it is.
Hope ya like it, let me know
