Television:

I really don't watch all that much TV, unless watching a DVD on TV counts. I do like the BBC, History Channel, HGTV and occasioanlly Comedy Central or American Movie Classics.

strong sense of proper decorum. You are very
attracted to chivalry, ceremony and dignity.
For the most part you are rather sensible,
but you are also very idealistic.Role Models: Guinevere, Princess Fiona (of Shrek)You are most likely to: Get kidnapped by a stray
dragon.

Books:

Books are Good. I have too many favs to actually list them here. I can tell you however, that I am currently reading Walden, by Henry David Thoreau. The last book series I read was Harry Potter. I still think the books are better then the movies.
What Mystical Creature are you?


Elf
You are an Elf! You are a creature of Peace and Tranquility.You are very debative and your kind definatly debate.... alot... over EVERYTHING.... Food, Drink,weapons, wifes, kids you name it and it will someday become a debate in one form or another. Your main weapons are range but you can use a dagger if needed. Wisdom be with you.

So I Guess I like taking Stupid Quizzes. I never thought I would, but lately I've been doing a lot of these silly things. Must be the insomnia. Lack of sleep messes with the mind... did you know that?Anyway, I just took this quiz about what animal I was supposed to be in a past life.... Interesting? Perhaps! I guess it's all subjective anyway...
You Were An Owl
You are stealthy and secretive - no one knows the true you.
You are a seeker of freedom, and you are comfortable with your dark side. What Animal Were You In a Past Life?Sure. Why Not?! I actually thought I could have been a cat in my past life... but I suppose an owl could be cool. . . My score on The Who Would You Be in 1400 AD Test :
The Lady
(You scored 42% Cardinal, 30% Monk, 55% Lady, and 27% Knight!)
Chaste and pure, you are a good person. You try to help others and do your duty to your family. However, this duty involves you being sold off to a local noble house in order to cement relations between your families. But you know it's for a greater good, and besides you will retain all the comforts and glamour of your position regardless of if you're your father's or you husband's property.
