mostly pointless meanderings

I've taken this before, but it's interesting to see what's changed since then...

Your Results:

The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.

Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Liberal Quakers (96%)
3. Neo-Pagan (89%)
4. New Age (86%)
5. Mahayana Buddhism (82%)
6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (81%)
7. Theravada Buddhism (80%)
8. Reform Judaism (75%)
9. Secular Humanism (72%)
10. Bahá'í Faith (69%)
11. New Thought (69%)
12. Taoism (67%)
13. Orthodox Quaker (66%)
14. Scientology (66%)
15. Jainism (64%)
16. Sikhism (62%)
17. Nontheist (58%)
18. Hinduism (57%)
19. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (50%)
20. Orthodox Judaism (47%)
21. Islam (46%)
22. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (40%)
23. Seventh Day Adventist (37%)
24. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (31%)
25. Eastern Orthodox (23%)
26. Roman Catholic (23%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (15%)

My mother, bless her Roman Catholic soul, would probably be saddened to learn that it barely made the list. (Of course, I doubt her test results would make R.C. the top choice either.)

What a week

Colonoscopy, sick kids, sick me...

Reminds me of a joke.

"bitch, bitch, bitch...
whine, whine, whine...
You wanted a puppy, so I got you a puppy
you wanted a baby, so I got you a baby
now the puppy eats the baby and what do you do?
bitch, bitch, bitch...
whine, whine, whine!"

Anyway. Hope everyone out there is survivng well & happily; Let's go out & have coffee some time.

Shower thoughts...

Got up early today; am planning on taking M to school and then coming back to take J for his colonoscopy. Poor man - he said he might not be able to be that far away from a bathroom, or he'd come with me.

While I was washing my hair, I had a sudden thought.

I'm going to run for elected office.

(I have a lot of hair, so I had a lot of time to think about this in the shower.)

After reading the latest news about who's taken money from Abramoff, how pork is attached to bills, how congressmen vote for bills having hardly read them, or read just the summaries.... hell, I can do a better job than that.

I'm crazy, you say? Welll, yes, but evidently 18% of the American people will have a mental disorder at some point in their lives, so at least I'm representative of the population, you know?

Sordid past - yup. So what? I definitely learned from my mistakes.

Kids are awake - gotta go get them ready to go. What do you think?

Note to self:

colonoscopies are not for the faint of heart.

Not because having a camera shoved up your ass is less than enjoyable, but because hyperosmotic laxatives are fucking evil.

I can't wait for the weekend.

Bleah

This is the second or third time I've opened up this web page to make an entry, and gone "eh..." and ended up closing it without typing anything.

I had two moments of cheerfulness on the way home this afternoon - drove through two rainbows! I think Moira saw them when I pointed to them, too. I'm not sure.

I'm at that place in my life when I'd like to make a few friends so I have somebody to talk with during the day - but the idea of going out and meeting new people is exhausting. People suck, as a general rule, and I just don't have the energy to use on sucky people right now.

Speaking of sucky people, if I ever doubted it, I now have proof that karma really does come back around.

My Adiumy is a turkey wearing a pilgrim hat.

I think I'm going to see if I can find any sane, mature people who want to play some sort of role playing game. I was looking over the 3.5 edition players' handbook last night... interesting new stuff. J also showed me Victoriana which I think I'd enjoy.

Moira is still sick. She's evidently like me when I was a kid - get a cold; develop a secondary ear infection. *sigh*

It's a wonderful rainy November day here - not very cold; great napping weather. I'm hoping to get both kids asleep so I can check out for a little while.

I'm looking forward to my date on Saturday! I didn't even realize it, but the new Harry Potter is coming out, and J's taking me to the movies! Hopefully our babysitter is available.

More babbling another time.

Does this make me a soccer mom?

Christmas came early!

This should make the trips to Tennessee this Christmas and St. Louis in January much more comfortable. :)

EEEEEEEEEE!!!

As I sit here working on our family webpage, J is playing Neverwinter Nights - he's playing a druid with a hawk companion.

Heeheeheehee

I can't wait to start playing!

It's been so long, I'd forgotten what it was like...

Euphemisms are a wonderful thing.

Am slogging through the days lately. So much to do, so little energy. Sometimes my brain is revving at 300+mph, and sometimes I'm in neutral. It's been hard on the transmission.

Had weird dreams last night. Probably hormone inspired. It was old home night; there were many many many people from my past in this dream. Oddly enough, though, it wasn't a BAD dream.

Wow I'm tired. I wonder if the kids will let me get a nap today.
