You're good with words, remarkably lucky, and know and enjoy at least fifteen ways of eating a potato. You really don't like snakes.

You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.

TRAVELLING:

I finally went to the east coast, including newfoundland in the autumn of 2004, but I didn't make it HERE ...so sad because we were so close! The ferry schedule wasn't frequent enough that late in the season. Someday

I finally did go to the U.K. in November of 2006...After six (plus) years of waiting!!! & I did get in touch with my "roots" at the NAS in Edinburgh...i wussed out on meeting long lost relatives, though. and i didn't make it to the English archives when I went to London...so i missed out on my dad's side.

I ran out of time (and petrol money!) to see the Orkneys...next time i'm going to do a separate trip to scotland. then a separate trip to ireland...then another just to wales...then another just to england...it's too much to cram in a three week period. i just fell in love with it all.

& maybe the Shetlands!

I love the idea of travelling to a relatively remote & undisturbed island rich in history, away from the hustle & bustle of "modern" life, where time seems to stand still

I'd like to meet:

Funny, wacky people who like to have fun. People who love music as much (or more) than I do....people who have the gift of gab and want to share it...regular everyday people and some of the people in my "heroes" and "books" section. Yes, I am aware that many of my heroes are (sadly) no longer with us, but it's all meant to be very hypothetical anyhow. Ultimately, I'd like to meet anybody whose essential character fits that description. What's a hero, anyway? We're all heroes in our own way sometimes, and I am sure that the families of most of my "heroes" just think of them as everyday folks!

Television:

Thinkers, dreamers, poets, mystics, artists, true diplomats.
People who value the principle of social justice and who work towards that goal with integrity and vigour:

------------------------------------------The people listed below are *NOT* my heroes as some people have thought when looking at my page.
They are my "villains" for lack of a better word:
People who further their self-serving agendas through other people's suffering.
Soulless, heartless people who try to *KILL* the human spirit of love, compassion, wisdom and understanding. People who put a dollar figure on everything. "Sell, sell, sell".
"Washington Consensus" think tanks. Imperialists. People who believe in the legitimacy of Empire at the expense of self-determination for all people, in all nations, collectively and individually.
People who profit from oil wars (or any war, actually), and the military industrial complex.
The Bushes, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Condi Rice, Karl Rove, John Bolton, David Wilkins, David Rockefeller and the multinational corporate elite, Rupert Murdoch, Fox news, Bill O' Reilly, Anne Coulter, Clear Channel, you get the idea......
