Wandering through the woods

Project I was working on delivered! (Part A) Now all I have to do is fix the layout they hated for the presentation. Meanwhile, Neil seemed to have liked his job-nibble-phone-interview thingy, and I'm glad, and because I'm in no mood for doing anything vaguely thoughtful anymore, I'm going to take a nap waste my time doing the google image-search meme...

( image meme )

Hey, I'm a "visionary"... according to this memage, anyway. Personal DNA report!

And I've also apparently gone from being INFJ to ENFJ on this thing?

Guilt	What is yours?	Explain yourself
Culinary:	sushi	given the opportunity, I will use it to tank my bank account, and yours too.
Literary:	romance novels	they're like disney tales for grownups -- happy endings, lasting love -- what else could I ask for?
Audiovisual:	showtunes, a la Rent, Avenue Q, Into the Woods...	like I need to explain myself. Pah! If you don't sing along, you won't get it...
Musical:	boy bands	they're eye candy and the music sticks, not 'cause it's any good, but 'cause... 'cause!
Celebrity:	drew barrymore	have you seen _Ever After_ or _Boys on the Side_ or _The Wedding Singer_...?

to complete this same Quiz, Its HERE.

I've hidden it, yes I have. Tricky, I am, the cleverest little leprechaun this side of Ireland. Not under the usual rainbow - though I've led many a silly human afar and wide, chasing the rainbow's golden-shaded, laughter-rung embrace.

No, no. I've gone and done it with cacao and milk and butter in a bubbling pot that promises warmth for those who sniff it, and have a taste of it amidst their tired days.

Who would ever find it, after so many have touched it, eaten it, and passed it on?

A piece of lasting compassion. A small piece of a dream hidden in a chocolate, guaranteed to bring forth more slippery dreams that this leprechaun can hide...

(What's this all about, crazy homeless person?)

To which race of Middle Earth do you belong?

My boyfriend got the horses and charging warrior stock. I guess that makes me the annoying singing bard on the back of his horse? :D But perhaps the girls will think I'm cute.

(In case you're stuck for presents for me, this is my amazon wishlist. Oh, or mid-calf size 6 socks. I like socks.)

Jo posted this nifty meme, so I thought I'd steal it:

Leave a comment in my journal and I'll tell you what song you remind me of! Or painting.

Stolen from my favorite grey duck.

Tagged by sir_graeme (which I guess I'm flattered by, even if a little groan)

1) Total number of books owned: about 600 or so, judging by the bookshelves. Mostly fantasy; some poetry and cookbooks and young adult fiction, too.

2) The last book I bought:

The Stardancers, by Spider and Jeanne Robinson, at a used bookstore, since it's such a very excellent book.

3) The last book I read:

Girls in Pants, by Ann Brashares. It's a beautiful book, and made me think about when I was going away to college, and how good friends are to each other. Like its prequel, _Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants_, the story is about love and the bravery it takes to really embrace love. The love of friends for each other - that's straightforward enough, although it'll be tested. The love for yourself, to decide that you want to go to Art school over your parents' wishes; the love for your family, when you fear what going away means; those were harder loves. I liked the book a lot, needless to say.

4) Five books that mean a lot to me:

Book that my high school English teacher gave me, on graduating: his book of poems, to "Kimberly, writer in the making"
Book that I loved as a kid: Heroes and Gods of Greek mythology
Book I bonded with Jess over, long ago: Arrows of the Queen, by Mercedes Lackey, and the other 2 in the trilogy.
Books that I've loved lately: Animal Dreams, by Barbara Kingsolver, and Sunshine, by Robin McKinley. (Matt was reading me Sunshine a few days ago, actually)
Book that was somewhat worldshaking: The Cloister Walk, by Kathleen Norris
Book that I cried over recently: Night, by Elie Wiesel

Okay, I cheated.

Oh, stupid memes :P This is strictly OPTIONAL, people, if you're reading.

My Unitarian Jihad Name is: The Sword of Patience.
Get yours.

Swords are so very phallic. I think I like it. Except I'm really not all that patient at all. Particularly if I'm hungry.
