| Your Blog Should Be Purple |
 You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything. You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey. You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say. |

gaeasson:gaeasson: got a question.bookofmirrors: I like your questions :)gaeasson: was your bookofmirrors name by any chance inspired by a cheesy kung-fu movie?bookofmirrors: lol No! But please forward me info on same! I find that hilarious :)bookofmirrors: It has many-faceted meanings, actually... maybe I'll make a post about them today :)gaeasson: I don't even remember the name of the movie...gaeasson: but there was this guy who fought through all sort of hell and hardships...gaeasson: gained and lost a wise old teacher. beat his way through uncounted numbers of adversaries...gaeasson: to win his way through to a monastery wherein was kept the book that contained all the answers of life.gaeasson: once there rather than having to fight his way to the book, the monks escorted him there to the books reliquary in a high tower.gaeasson: he opened the book with all the answers to life's questions, and found that there was a mirror on every page.bookofmirrors: Oh, WOW.... that is SOOOO fucking coolbookofmirrors: I'm so totally gonna have to quote you for this on my entrybookofmirrors: That's just PERFECTgaeasson: of course laughter followed. first bitter then joyous as the lesson sank in.gaeasson: cheesy movie, but cool as hell for the ending.bookofmirrors: Yeah, definitely... and that definitely speaks to one of the facets of the namegaeasson: I got the distinct impression that the "monks" were almost exclusively other seekers who had won their way through and had the same experience.gaeasson: He thought he was raiding the monastery, when in fact he was being initiated into it.gaeasson: The movie ended then, but I always imagined the monks gave him a few minutes to himself, then gently led him down to his new room where there was a meal prepared and his robes already laid out on the bed.bookofmirrors: Oh, very cool :) I like that idea
