Arab Dance, I've been at it for over a decade now. Live music, I see live acts about twice a week. History, I'm a social and cultural history specialist and have quite a few publications in that field. Genealogy, I've traced my ancestors back 10 generations to the 1600s, nearly all in Leicestershire, some in Suffolk. Reading, always at it, especially in the bath. Don't like showers, me books get too wet! Wandering in the mountains, especially the Alps. Going to the gym for purely cosmetic reasons, I'm not really sporty although I go several times a week to exercise, swim and sauna.
What Mythological Creature are you? (Cool Pics!)

You scored as Angel
Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

I admire anyone who doesn't get carried along in the mainstream. Also anyone whose good at stuff I can't do!!
