This was my evening of quiet introspection and here are the results.
Some one on my flist -
lotrfan_angel17 to be exact - posted a really interesting survey which provided a lot of information about herself, which I enjoyed because I now feel I am starting to get to know her. The chances of me doing the same are small. I am private to the point of paranoia online. However, for what it's worth, if anyone's interested, if anyone's ever wondered, here are a few basic things about myself.
*I am short and blonde and have blue eyes. This has forced me to be independent and capable, because if I were not no-one would ever take me seriously.
*I hate lies! I don't mind if you don't tell me things, that is your right, just do NOT lie to me. I will find out. It will be a long time before I forgive you.
*I question things. Possibly not to people's faces because I don't choose to be hurtful, but I take very little on trust, I like to investigate an idea for myself.
*I am practical and logical and reserve the right to be neither of those should I so choose. Everyone is entitled to the occasional tantrum.
*I am friendly with a lot of people, but I only have a few close friends. You threaten or hurt one of my close friends at your peril. In the event of that happening, I'm afraid I will not be interested in your side of the story.
*I am not stupid, I just pick my battlefields. Many times things happen and I decide they are not worth disturbing my peace of mind for. It isn't that I didn't notice it or understand it, I just chose to let it go.
*I believe in loyalty, I believe in friendship, I believe that a friend will drop everything else if you are in need, no matter how pathetic the need may seem. I am often disappointed. The times when I am not are glorious.
*I am an initiated Wiccan priestess, with a strong interest in the Druid's way. I am currently a solitary practitioner, having developed an aversion to coven politics.
*My training has taught me that there is not much place in the universe for power trips or egos.
*I believe that kindness is non-negotiable, that courtesy is a basic requirement of human decency, and that life is too short for resentments and grudges.
