I think I'm getting the hang of this.. lol

About Me

WHOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!........ I'm DONE DONE DONE!!!!! Finally done my Masters.... I may yet still have a life!... lol..But...still trying to figure out how to use this site... just when I think I'm getting there... something new pops up and I gotta ask... how do ya do this???? or that???? sigh... two university degrees and this site still defies complete understanding..on the other hand... I now have time to occasionally venture out to have fun...when I remember what that is!.. lol... the wedding has come to pass but oh my goodness... a new house and grandchild.. not to mention life in general can sometimes get in the way... :)I love the outdoors... camping, hiking, picnics and snowball fights.... not necessarily in that order... and indoors?.. I love quiet evenings spent with friends getting myself into trouble (in conversation!.... debating that is.. lol) and playing euchre... playing a game of pool (badly!...lol) or just reading a book...I'm generally laid back and easy going... but I can also be pretty passionate about social justice.... AND I can also be really shy... some folks laugh at me when I say that but it's TRUE!... oh.. and I'm directionally challenged... couldn't find my way out of a paper bag if my life depended on it... so if you're depending on me to find the way.... you better have a bag full of pebbles to find the way back...some of the important things in life...Hmm.... zodiac sign....
You are a Cancer, the funniest sign of the zodiac.
You are family-oriented, loyal, lovable, kind,
sensitive, intuitive and imaginitive! You are
very, very protective of your friends, and you
give them great advice! The animal you are most
like is, a crab! Crabs are very smart, mabe
thats why they have lived for over 500 million
years! Crabs have a tough exteriorin which they
hide their soft-selfs (just like you and your
emotions). And just like the crab, you have two
ways to go in life, the hard lifeless shell or
the heart!-your lucky colors are sea green(the color of your
home, the sea) and silver(the color of the
moon)-your metal is silver (me:didnt see that one
comming*note the sarcasum*)-your precious stone is a pearl-your lucky day of the week is monday-your element is water-the planet you are ruled by is the moon, hey your
just like the tides, you know the moon makes
the tides go in and out!! Oh well, guess not-the parts of the body that you rule are your
stomach and breasts(me:stop giggling, he he)-your true love comes from a scorpio, pisces,
taurus, or your own cancer!
My Soul?
You Are a Visionary Soul
You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness. Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connect to your soul. You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable. Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings.You have great vision and can be very insightful. In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself. Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend. You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer.Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Souloverall....life is good.....Hmm.... and what kind of affectionate gesture am I????? ..
hug from behind - you like to feel what the other
person is feeling and see things how they see
them. you tend to be serious and emotional.
another question.... because you can never have too many quizzes in your life... lol what kind of love am I fated for????
You will have a Content love. Not
boring, but without fights and problems. You
will just... be in love. Simple as that. As a
person, you're not the one who laughs highest
or most often, nor the one in the dark corner
crying. You are the one who sits watching
everyone else, often with a little smile
playing on your lips. To you, life is good and
you will get what you wish for. You will fall
for someone who is himself, and lets you be
you.^^and yet one more question of epic proportions.... lol...
PALADIN
You are the Paladin, the
ultimate warrior for God. The Paladin
represents all that is good in the world.
Paladins fight evil at all costs. They do not
care for material pleasures of this world. They
have sworn their lives away to protecting the
innocent, avenging the victims of cruel
murders, and chasing after those who deserve
their punishments. The Paladin will do anything
to fulfill their duties. They will even
sacrifice themselves to save
another.

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

Movies:

Hmm...tough one.. probably Princess Bride and Love Actually would be my two favs...... feel good movies rank pretty high in my books... but also love fantasy and science fiction.... absolutely loved Lord of the Rings... Harry Potter....The Tenth Kingdom (mini series).....too many really to list... but those give you a pretty good idea... :)

Television:

Dont' generally watch television but loved Frasier and the first few seasons of Seinfeld.... also love CSI... I think it's Las Vegas? the original one.. don't watch much tv but if I am and it's on ..I'll watch it... lol.. I also like CSI Miami.

Books:

One of the strangest and most fascinating books I've ever read is Perdido Street Station by China Mieville... there were so many made up words I actually needed a dictionary to read the thing (and damn but my vocab is GOOD!...lol) but I loved the story.. Just picked up The Iron Council also by C. Mieville... but am thinking it may be awhile before I get to it... I need to finish classes first... lol.. I also like Stephen King ... not all his books but I really enjoyed The Stand and the Gunslinger Series (am finally wading my way through the seventh and final chapter in the series... thank gawd he finished it!) Harry Potter (of course... lol) and I'm determined to get to the Chronicles of Narnia as well as Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie..

Heroes:

My daughter... she's gone through so much the past few years and she's still holding it together.... she's one tough cookie...and my friend Helena.... a beautiful woman who exemplifies strength, courage and loving compassionmay I find the courage to live life as well as they do....
