Book of Mirrors

Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.


Mine from Profundis

1. cats

As in, I have lots! And I do things that some would find stupid on their behalf. As in, making sure all partners know they're a package deal and non-negotiable. As in, moving out of apartments and/or paying exorborant (sp?) amounts of security deposits in order to make sure their place is assured. Etc..

2. dreamer

OK, really, does this need elucidation? I think not. In fact, if you go a post or so back, you'll see the INFP link, wherein it even calls my personality type a dreamer.

3. no boundaries

Ain't it the truth? *sigh* I still have trouble with this one. I now know enough to know that this is a result of my schizoid defense, in Core terms. I have some deep-seated doubts about this whole incarnation-on-Earth thing this time around, so I tend to prefer the world of Spirit, wherein there really aren't too many boundaries. Sometimes I (willfully or not) forget about boundaries in The Real World.

4. nursing

I'm a nurse. That was easy.

5. kindness

:) Thank you.

I hadn't taken the Belief-O-Matic test in a while, so I thought I'd take it again... rather unexpected results. I think last time I was just about 100% "New Thought".

My guess is that I got this result 'cause in some of the sections where it said to check ALL that apply, my happy little world of co-existing paradoxes stepped in, and I therefore got the result that most exemplified "diverse beliefs".

Heh.

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Neo-Pagan (87%)
3. New Age (87%)
4. Liberal Quakers (86%)
5. New Thought (76%)
6. Mahayana Buddhism (74%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (73%)
8. Secular Humanism (72%)
9. Taoism (69%)
10. Scientology (68%)
11. Theravada Buddhism (66%)
12. Reform Judaism (61%)
13. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (59%)
14. Nontheist (54%)
15. Orthodox Quaker (45%)
16. Baha'i Faith (44%)
17. Sikhism (42%)
18. Hinduism (38%)
19. Jainism (31%)
20. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (26%)
21. Orthodox Judaism (23%)
22. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (21%)
23. Islam (20%)
24. Seventh Day Adventist (15%)
25. Eastern Orthodox (11%)
26. Roman Catholic (11%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (0%)

OK, I got this from beauty_moves, and I fully intend to do the pay-for-coffee thing, since I'm not the least bit artistically inclined. However, if anyone wants to chance the horrificness that is my artistic talent, far be it from me to take that choice away from you.

I will say, however, that I just got a shiny new vegan cookbook, and (as money permits) fully intend to experiment. If you wanna be in on an experiment or two as part of this, I'm up for that, too.


The first ten people to comment in this post AND repost this meme in their own journal get to request a sketch on the topic of their choosing from me!

If you are not artistically inclined, I'm sure there's something equivalent you can do for others. Help someone fix something, feed a parking meter that's about to run out, pay for coffee for the person behind you in line. Just pass it along. This totally counts.

.....to get the "present" I *really* wanted! ;)

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In April I farted in an elevator (-6 points). Last Friday I broke virtualmel's X-Box (-12 points). Last month I had a shoot-out with rival gang lords on the 5 near LA (-76 points). Last Tuesday I helped chalice66 see the light (8 points). Last week I stole bonecat's purse (-30 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-116 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking! Sincerely, bookofmirrors

( My Answers )

[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
I actually find this question kind of insulting.

[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
I've never heard anything good about meth. Because I'm me, I'd probably try it once, just to see what the big deal was, but I wouldn't be interested in more than that.

[03] Abortion: for or against it?
Both. I could never do it myself, to the degree that anyone ever knows how they would react to a situation they haven't been in; but I would never presume to impose my personal views on anyone else, and I definitely vote Pro-Choice.

[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
No more than it has with a male one.

[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
Not really. However, the legal system is way fucked up, overcrowded, etc.. Not killing people would increase the already overcrowded prison population. Also, while I think almost anyone can be rehabilitated, the system currently set up to do so isn't particularly good. So there's not a good alternative, either. But I don't think we can just off people because we're unwilling to tackle the problem and make the system work for everyone.

[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Marijuana and every other drug. Educate, educate, educate. REAL education, not scare tactics. Then let people make their own choices, and deal with whatever consequences come.

[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
I'm not against it. To say I'm for it would imply that people should go get laid willynilly for the sake of it. Pre-marital sex, like all other sex, should be entered into with consciousness.

[08] Do you believe in God?
In all forms.

[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Yes. I still can't figure out why this is so hard for people.

[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Tough one. I like being the "bring me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free" country. But things like this worry me. I'd be less worried if the FairTax were implemented, but still... makes you think. The legality of it is somewhat less worrisome to me than the numbers, and the conditions in other countries that make ours look so much better by comparison.

[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
That depends on too many factors. In other countries, that wouldn't even be cause for alarm. In this country, it really depends on the goals and resources of the mother.

[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
Sort of. I'm leaning towards abolishing a legal age limit altogether.

[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Carefully. I think quitting cold turkey could be dangerous to all involved, but I'd be happier if we weren't involved in *any* wars. But, then, I'm a bit of a pacifist. Can't we all just get along?

[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
No. We give our animals more consideration in this area than our humans. Again, personal choice, after education and presentation of options. I already have a plan (that won't get anyone in trouble) should I ever be faced with that choice.

[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
Under no circumstances.

[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
I'd do a whole lotta things for a million dollars. Burning a flag doesn't hurt anything but one's tender sensibilities.

[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
I don't think I'm voting for either of them. Given the choice between the two, though, I'd rather see Obama in office.

[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Probably. I'm usually afraid of judgment.
