1. Your gardening exploits fascinate me.
2. Orchid.
3. I remember meeting you in a friending frenzy, but a clearer early memory for me is you conquering your fear of spiders.
4. A bluebird.
5. How did you and Dom meet?
6. I admire your positive self-image more than I can say.
7. The way you let your mother hurt you. I know how hard it is, especially when you want to keep your family together. But as someone who cares about you, it's hard to watch you get hurt over and over.
8. Go repost!

1. You are incredibly compassionate.
2. See the color of your hair in your icon? That color.
3. You working on your novel.
4. A calico cat. Go figure! ;)
5. Now you've got me all curious how and why you made your break with Catholicism.
6. Your devotion to your friends and family.
7. I honestly can't think of anything.
8. Having already done this, I think you're off the hook. :)

*glee* Thank you! :D

5. I started chafing against Catholicism pretty early in life. I think I was about 12 when I first picked up the Tarot, and I was 15 when I demanded that my Mom let me stop going to our Church every Sunday. She said that while I was living with her I had to go to church at least once a month, so that was our compromise. And I did that, until our priest got accused of molesting a child, and I pretty much had a knock-down, drag-out fight with Mom about the hypocrisy that was rampant in the church. From the priest-molesters at the grassroots level to the administration that was helping to hide them, to the previous hypocrisies that happened in the past with the popes and buying indulgences and all that. I threw it ALL at her. She hadn't realized I'd delved into all that, and her eyes were just all O.O at me. She finally said "if you think there's a religion out there that doesn't have that kind of thing, go find it."

I told her I didn't WANT religion, and I walked away from all religions for a while. I explored paganism, played with the tarot, explored energy work, and then fell in love with a Pentecostal guy who dragged me back to church for a while. *laugh* I got over that, thankfully. I finally settled on the whole pagan thing after a fairly magical experience after I had a car accident. I suppose it could be explained by a head injury, but I still maintain I had a vision, so... :)

Me?

Of course!

1. You kick ass, and you know it. :)
2. Scarlet.
3. One of my friends had linked to one of scathedobsidian's posts in which you had commented with a photo of your derriere. (It was topical to the post, if I remember correctly.)
4. A lioness.
5. How did you discover your passion for massage therapy?
6. I admire your confidence and self-assurance so much.
7. Nothing comes to mind.
8. Doo eet!

1. Your hair is wild! :)
2. Spring green.
3. I think I have seen you around LJ since before I had an account.
4. A stag.
5. If it's not too personal, do you know where the bugs came from? I came in toward the end of that saga.
6. You're not just optimistic; you spread it around.
7. I'm coming up empty.
8. No need. You did it already!

1. Your hair is wild! :)

Thank you! =D

2. Spring green.

Very cool, thanks!

3. I think I have seen you around LJ since before I had an account.

LOL! Considering the people we both know, that wouldn't surprise me.

4. A stag.

That's very interesting.

If it's not too personal, do you know where the bugs came from?

Either a pair of sleeping bags that we were given from Freecycle or the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. We'll never know for sure.

You're not just optimistic; you spread it around.

I do what I can :)

I've ALWAYS wished I was a ginger! HAH! Comment!!!!!

Holy mackerel, I forgot all about this. LJ fail!

1. It's very refreshing to have an ex-Mormon friend. I love that you get it, not just that I don't believe anymore, but how truly effed-up LDS culture really is.
2. Kelly green.
3. I remember a conversation over in exmormon, but I don't remember what about. Do you?
4. A puppy.
5. Is your ex-husband still a member of the church? And how involved is he in Sam's life? Do you worry about his influence on Sam?
6. Your thoughtfulness.
7. There is nothing that stands out to me as, "Oh, I don't like that," about you.
8. Go, and do the thing which ... I have commanded! Ha!
