I'm a Pagan, who knew?

I wasn't raised in a strict religious atmosphere. We dabbled at a Unitarian church for a while, but that was about it.

Bankston sent this out. According to this test, I'm:

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (92%)
3. New Age (91%)
4. Mahayana Buddhism (86%)
5. Theravada Buddhism (84%)
6. Liberal Quakers (79%)
7. Secular Humanism (69%)
8. Taoism (63%)
9. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (61%)
10. Sikhism (60%)
11. Scientology (58%)
12. Hinduism (55%)
13. New Thought (54%)
14. Jainism (52%)
15. Reform Judaism (52%)
16. Orthodox Quaker (50%)
17. Bahá'í Faith (44%)
18. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (43%)
19. Nontheist (38%)
20. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (25%)
21. Orthodox Judaism (25%)
22. Seventh Day Adventist (20%)
23. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (19%)
24. Eastern Orthodox (16%)
25. Islam (16%)
26. Roman Catholic (16%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (12%)

I like that Buddhism is in the top 5. I think I lean mostly in that direction in my mind.

Knocked down already

It's official. The Bard bowled a 237 (no asterisk). He beat my (no asterisk) score by 3 points. My new goal is to reach 250. But it's all up to the spirits in the wind, since it's not a matter of practice.

Meanwhile, I just cracked 1,000 achievement points on my XBox Live account. And I am still thinking Guitar Hero, bebe.

On the bebe front, we recently had a nice baby shower and were given more presents than I expected. I was a little surprised, but in a good way. I'm very grateful. My current favorite is a talking octopus that says colors and plays music. The bebe's room is on hold while we host some family this week. But, I'm thinking one or two more sessions ought to do it.

Name discussion seems to linger, circle, think about landing, then decide on another branch. I added Deanna to the list (at right) because it was the only sci-fi female name that I liked. Deanna Dutchover Stull. Eh.

It's also time to mow the yard this weekend for the first time. The yard is less important to me, but I also don't want to let it go bad.

Let's go bowling dude

So my little brother and the Warlord have Wiis. I've played a few times and right now, bowling tops my list. I like it so much, I almost want a Wii in addition to the Xbox 360.

Why do you ask?

Because last night I bowled a 242. An all-time record for everyone I know who plays it. It beats the highest score of everyone who OWNS a Wii I know. But, the Boneshakers call it a 242* and say it doesn't count. So, for them, I lean back on my second highest score 234 (no asterisk). That one still tops the charts.

Bowling. Who knew? Meanwhile, Guitar Hero comes out in April and that's going to RAWK!


*I was sober.

What do you think the message in the bottle says?

Mom and John came over yesterday and made a lot of progress. I had some furniture moving projects, so it was mostly them.

They are coming back today and I'll help out a lot more. Enjoy the photos.

Eye lashes

"By this week, your baby weighs a little over 2 pounds and measures about 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can open her eyes — which now sport lashes — and she'll turn her head toward a continuous, bright light from the outside. Her fat layers are beginning to form, too, as she gets ready for life outside the womb."
