From [livejournal.com profile] mlerules: 1. Pregnancy/Birth/Motherhood 2. Current Altar Contents/Design
(regardless of whether you currently have/use one) 3. Long Hair 4.RenFaire 5. Types of Love

1.Pregnancy/Birth/Motherhood

These are currently part of the main focus of my life. I want very much to have Patch's baby. That's why I married him. (I didn't marry him to have his children. I married him because he's the only person about whom I've thought, "I want to have babies witht this person".)

As a child I always said I didn't want to get married and I didn't want to have babies. A lot of this had to do with my mother's deep negativity about having had me. She never made me feel like she didn't want me, but she always spoke of my birth as a miserable experience for her. She didn't ever wax poetic about my babyhood. I could tell it made her miserable. Now that I'm an adult, and we've talked about it more, I know she suffered from post-partum depression for about two years and that my parents were unprepared for the stesses and changes that come with having a baby. So my mom did suffer and that coloredd everything she passed on to me about it.

As I got older, I used to say, "I have no problem with being a parent, I just don't want to go through the nine months required to achive it." The more I've studied about midwifery, the more I've learned about the process of birth, the more comfortable I've become with it. I have reached a point, where I'm good with the fact that this is what my body was built for and now I'm looking forward to it.

I have some fears when it comes to motherhood. I'm afraid mostly about my temper. There's a part of my that's afraid I'll lose it and beat my child. That, or when I get stressed out, I'll just get a migraine and not be able to deal with what needs doing. Neither of these are an acceptable option. I think though, that my mother gave me a good foundation and that following her example (in most things) will help me raise a good, creative, thinking, contributing member of society. After all, I turned out pretty ok, right? :-)

Besides if my dreams are any indication, I'm going to raise a level headed kid who gets accepted to five different colleges!

2.Current Altar Contents/Design (regardless of whether you currently have/use one)

I don't really talk about my spiritual beliefs much, do I? Actually, I currently do have an altar. It is however of minimal design, because it's in the living room and Patch didn't want a giant pagan display there. So in the phone nook (Yay, 40's houses) there is a doily and resting on it a not oft dusted glass ball, which I use as a focus, and the only other thing is a small bag made of deer hide, with a labrys tied to the outside of it. The bag was made by one of my Amazons (who I never see anymore) and as per standard woo-type practice has miscellaneous meanful goodies in it. The labrys comes from another one of my Amazons, Julie, who I love and miss very much. It's a pendant for a necklace, but since I'm not one to have danglies off my neck on a regular basis, it made more sense to attach it the bag. This fetish goes with me whenever I travel. It is my way of taking my link to home and my altar with me. I believe on some level, that this charm will see me back home safely, but not to the point where I freak out if I forget it. I think though that I've only forgotten it once or twice.

I really hope that in my new home, I'll have a place in the kitchen, where I can set a greek altar with a statue of Hestia, and one of Artemis, along with the assorted, grain and wine etc. Some small niche above the stove (or a fireplace) would be perfect. I'd also like to set up something larger and more elaborate, in my office, or somesuch private space that is mine, with candles and all my various miscellaneous meaningful items. (So that Patch can't bitch about doesn't have to have in his face.)

3.Long Hair

What can I say, I love my long hair. I think it's beautiful. It makes me feel feminine. There's something increadibly sensual about having your hair slide across your back and feeling it brush your buttocks. When my hair is down, I feel womanly and free. It is my crowning glory. (Check me out, I sound crazy. *grin*) I haven't measured my hair since I lived in Glendale, but is currently longer that my fingertips and just short of the back of my knees. I also, need a trim, the ends are getting iffy.

4.RenFaire

I love doing Faire. It was a place that I found when I was pretty broken. My heart was sore, my self esteem was in the toilet, I was out of work and in debt. Faire pulled me out of my cave into the sunlight. I felt free and beautiful. I was able to stretch my wings and re-invent myself, or at least make little adjustments and see who I was. At Faire, I learned to love myself.

The last couple of years, (I think due to the loss of camping) it has felt more like work. I haven't relaxed as much. It hasn't been the mini-vacation, re-setting of my brain that it once was. This year, I'm going to make more of an effort to have fun and go out and play, see if I can't work out the occasional afternoon off.

5.Types of Love

I'm not sure what you mean by that. If your're talking about the book, I haven't read it and therefore know nothing of my opinion/relationship to it. The types of love, as I learned them were the classic Eros (erotic love), Philia (brotherly love) and Agape (unconditional love).

Love is such a broad thing. I have learned in my short life, that I can love people despite the pain they've caused me. I know that there are people I cannot stay angry with because I love them so. There are also people who I love, who as they disapoint me, I feel my love dwindle. I don't know what causes this, or why it's different, but there it is. I've also found myself to instantly care for someone (philia) because someone I love (usually agape) loves them. That's how I adopted Boober of all people.

I have also felt my heart break. No really, I feel a hollowness, a strike to my heart, I feel it get a little cold. Alternately, I know I'm in love when I think about someone and my heart swells. Ultimately love is a beautiful thing and I'm happy to have it, Eros, Philia, and Agape in my life.

I have a lot to do today, so I'll get to Stacy's stuff on Sunday.

I do this because some of my friends are far to easy to guess... however, I can't even imagine what I'd be arrested for. Hence, I'm insanely curious as to what you think I'd be arrested for.

Defining moment where you moved from Child to Adult:

I am a female, I bleed, so menarche?

Seriously though, I don’t think I had a defining moment. I was a precocious child. I got into political discussions with adults. I went to demonstrations and protests with my parents. I cared deeply about workers rights and the environment. I stressed over the Carter/Ford election. (President Carter is still my hero.) I had huge amounts of angst over the election of Ronald Reagan. I couldn’t understand why my fellow fifth graders in the ghetto didn’t care about the threat this man was to their future education.

Maybe the closest thing to a defining moment was turning 18. I had a lot of melancholy and self-doubt during that summer. My parents sent me to Spain to visit my god-mother in Barcelona. While I was excited to visit, I was hurt that my parents should thrust me out on this momentous occasion. I had time to reflect on what I was loosing in becoming an adult and what responsibilities were included in that. It scared me. I prayed a lot that summer, that I would not loose my youthful joy and wonder. Sometimes now, I think I have and then I go camping and splash in the river with my friends, or I go to Disneyland and I thrill over the carousel ride and I know that while I am an adult, and continuing to gain all those responsibilites that in our society define me that way, I haven’t lost my childhood.

After all that, I’ve just thought of a moment when I felt like a real adult. A couple of years ago, I paid off all my debts and actually started setting savings aside. That was a pretty defining moment (side note: I was over 35 at the time).

2nd most disgusting thing you've eaten: Hmmm… I don’t think I’ve eaten anything really disgusting. I don’t go in for those “I dare you…” things. Do “tripas” count? They’re in “menudo”. I had Haggis once, that was pretty nasty tasting…

favorite salad: I used to always have Chef’s Salads as my default, but at some point I’ve moved away from that. Usually now I order whatever Chicken Salad is available, but rarely do I order a Chinese Chicken Salad.

Worst vacation:
Strange, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad vacation. Or, it was so bad, I’ve just totally forgotten about it. I’ve had things go poorly on vacation, but usually it’s just a portion of the trip.

I’ve gotten jet lagged and motion sick so badly that I spent my first two days in Spain bedridden. On that same trip (return flight) I got stranded in Madrid (airline strike) and re-directed to Miami, as opposed to LAX, so it took three days to get home. But I had a great time while in Spain.

Maybe it’s just that I’m intrinsically optimistic. During that trip, I stayed in a wonderful town in Andorra called “Os de Civis”. The house we stayed in was 400+ years old. The power station was washed out during the winter’s storm so we had no electricity. We had to use candlelight and oil lamps. But because I’m not the indulged American and instead am an incurable romantic medievalist, I adored playing cards by candle light. I loved being curled up by the fire, alternately reading and watching the Prince Valiant look-alike stare into the fire. Man, that boy was pretty. He was also terribly shy and wouldn’t talk to me, so I had to flirt with his brother instead (poor me – I’m not sure there wasn’t a boy I didn’t flirt with). So yeah, lemonade and tons of it. Despite all the weird little hitches, the Madrilenos who taunted me for being American, pushed me into the ocean and dumped beer on my head; that trip was great.

Various people on my friends list are doing this. Believe it or not, I can't think of anything to ask them. To me, they are quite open about the things they cover, or simply I don't know them well enough to get that personal. But, I am curious to see if there is something you want to know.

Everyone has things they don't blog about.

Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on lima beans, favorite type of underwear, etc.

You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works.

I have to say that I felt like the creator was a perv. The so, what are you wearing? With the asking for further details when I thought I'd already alswered the sex question. I mean really, you know I masturbate, is it really important how I do so? It kinda creeped me out. I seriously thought about bailing on the test, but I really wanted to see the results. Yeah, too much sex, not enough other stuff.

The Everything Test

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.

Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-)

Personality
You are more emotional than logical, more concerned about others than concerned about self, more atheist than religious, more dependent than loner, more lazy than workaholic, more traditional than rebel, more artistic mind than engineering mind, more cynical than idealist, more leader than follower, and more introverted than extroverted.

As for specific personality traits, you are intellectual (80%), adventurous (75%), romantic (71%), greedy (55%).

Stereotypes
Old Geezer83%
Young Professional76%
Hippie74%
 
Life Experience
Sex63%
Substances43%
Travel53%

Politics
Your political views would best be described as Socialist, whom you agree with around 83% of the time.
  Socioeconomic
Your attitude toward life best associates you with Upper Class. You make more than 0% of those who have taken this test, and 4% more than the U.S. average.

If your life was a movie, it would be rated R.
By the way, your hottness rank is 69%, hotter than 94% of other test takers.

People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly.

The Peach
Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMf)

Playful, kind, and well-loved, you are The Peach.

For such a warm-hearted, generous person, you're surprisingly experienced in both love and sex. We credit your spontaneous side; you tend to live in the moment, and you don't get bogged down by inhibitions like most women your age. If you see something wonderful, you confidently embrace it.

Your exact opposite:
The Nymph

Deliberate Brutal Sex Dreamer
You are a fun flirt and an instant sweetheart, but our guess is you're becoming more selective about long-term love. It's getting tougher for you to become permanently attached; and a guy who's in a different place emotionally might misunderstand your early enthusiasm. You can wreck someone simply by enjoying him.

Your ideal mate is adventurous and giving, like you. But not overly intense.

[livejournal.com profile] willabark posted this in her journal and some of you have responded there. Those who have not, are invited, encouraged, nay comanded, to say it here and in your own journal!

We’re conditioned, particularly as women, to be self-deprecating, to not take up space, to not revel in our bodies and ourselves. We can get 150 comments in a thread about when we realized that we were aware our bodies weren’t up to snuff; let’s see how many we can generate praising ourselves.

Your mission: list at least five things you love about your body and yourself. Five is the floor; you can always do more. And no self-deprecation! No offsetting a compliment with a dig.

1. I am a warm and generous person.
2. I am intelligent.
3. I can carry on a conversation with people from just about any walk of life.
3. I am beautiful.
4. More specifically, I have big, beautiful Hazel eyes.
5. I have wonderful, happy, healthy long hair.
6. I have a marvelous hourglass body.
7. I have surrounded myself with generous, kind and loving people; whom I admire very much.

Overall, I seem to be ending this year with heartbreak. Just reviewing things has made me sad. While I’ve had many good things happen this year, I’ve also lost my home and my family. I know it seems like such a stupid little thing, but moving out of the Neighbor of the Beast really hurt. It wasn’t just a place. It was home. In moving, I lost [livejournal.com profile] deviantgrrrl, Troll Heather and even [livejournal.com profile] sushicaddy & [livejournal.com profile] executivegoth who moved out earlier. My family has been spread to the four winds and while they are still by some extension part of my life, things will never be the same.
