Church

  • Jul. 22nd, 2009 at 9:11 PM

I went to church tonight, Cathedral of Hope, and it was truly amazing! After the service we were invited to help move the stones that were surrounding the footprint of the new Interfaith Peace Chapel. There was an amazing feeling in the air as we all prayed and then each took one of the large stones and moved them so that ground could be broken. I am really grateful that I was able to be a part of it. I moved 5 stones this evening. The concept of the Interfaith Peace Chapel is, there should be a place for people to gather and worship regardless of their faith. I love my church.

Dear *

  • Jan. 22nd, 2009 at 9:19 PM

Dear *,

A few people that are very close to me know that I deal with things that are hard, by often not dealing with them. I know you are moving and I will miss you a lot, I hope that someday I'll be able to tell you this but for now I can't, I just hope you will read this and know you were important in my life, and that even though the distance will be long, that you still will be. Please also know that I wish you the best, for that is exactly what you deserve. I know you are only a phone call away it just seems like a phone call that I can't make right now.

Sincerely,

cat

Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...

NBPC - The Daydreamer

Nature, Background, Big Picture, and Color

You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the colors around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You are a down-to-earth person who enjoys going with the flow.

Hello, doesn't this just mean I'm shy?

  • Dec. 7th, 2008 at 10:36 AM

I really don't like the word choice of the author of this quiz, AVOIDANT, sounds so negative, shy would have been a much better choice, imo.




Your Social Dysfunction:
Avoidant



You are excessively sensitive to potential rejection, humiliation or shame. You tend to be socially withdrawn, in spite of desire for acceptance from others.

hair cut time

  • Oct. 18th, 2008 at 7:50 PM

I'm going to get my hair cut, tomorrow possibly. I know I want it short, MM has suggested getting a cut that I could spike up if I wanted to, I think that might be cool. I just hate the way it flips up when I wear a cap, it just looks dumb. So I'm trying to figure out what style I want. I'll probably go to Zen Salon tomorrow and see what the stylist things would be a good style for my hair.

Your result for Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Or Someone Else? Mad Men-era Female Icon Quiz...

You Are a Grace!

mm.grace_.jpg

You are a Grace -- "I need to understand the world."



Graces have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.



How to Get Along with Me

  • * Be independent, not clingy

  • * Speak in a straightforward and brief manner

  • * I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts

  • * Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable

  • * Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity

  • * If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place

  • * don't come on like a bulldozer

  • * Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy




What I Like About Being a Grace
* standing back and viewing life objectively
* coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
* my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
* not being caught up in material possessions and status
* being calm in a crisis



What's Hard About Being a Grace

  • * being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world

  • * feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all

  • * being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be

  • * watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally




Graces as Children Often

  • * spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on

  • * have a few special friends rather than many

  • * are very bright and curious and do well in school

  • * have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers

  • * watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information

  • * assume a poker face in order not to look afraid

  • * are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict

  • * feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected




Graces as Parents

  • * are often kind, perceptive, and devoted

  • * are sometimes authoritarian and demanding

  • * may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate

  • * may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

* Grab the nearest book. * Open the book to page 56. * Find the fifth sentence. * Post the text of the next two to five sentences in your journal along with these instructions. * Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

Title: Long Road To Freedom

This includes military personnel, civilains, U.S. business firms' personnel, and the Vietnamese themselves. However, gay life is ont nearly as open as it is stateside. The expression "it takes on to know one" is surely applicable here.

Your result for Fantasy Seduction Quiz: What type of fantasy senario would you like to experience in bed? What type of creature would be most likely to seduce you?...

Vampire

Dark Seducer

You attracted a Vampire. You either have a hidden dark side that only comes out when inspired, or you yourself are very dark and seductive. Vampires have a tendancy to attract the innocent or dark and are attracted to these aspects themselves. With a vampire you could get a long lasting seduction or a one night fling. Either way you should expect wine, candles, romantic passion, and maybe a little nip here and there.

Quick for now, more later

I wanted to get this down before I lost it...

I recently made the comment, that M and I have a great Daddy. She then asked me why I thought so, she said that she agreed but wanted to know why I said that. It has taken me some time,but I have been thinking about it since, and here is what I've come up with so far:

She is or does each of these,

Is a Leader
Is a Supporter
Is Attentive
Is Involved
She sets Amazing Examples
Is a Role Model
Is Loving
Is Strong
Is Stable
Is Present (as in our lives)
Is Understanding
Is Forgiving
Is Committed
Is Responsible
Is Giving
Is Caring

I'm going to add more to this later, I just didn't want to loose what I've thought of so far.
