Quoth The Raven - Moderator (pagans, Christ, religion, christmas)

[Quoth The Raven]

Well, I figured it was time I jumped on this bandwagon. I like to think of myself as fashionably late rather than slack. The latter is closer to the truth, however.

What can I tell you about myself? I'm 36. I have 3 kids. A significant other. Various pets, some of which could do with choking at 3am.

'Ah, buggrit!' as Foul 'ol Ron would say. It's all too hard, this thinking business. If anyone wants to know anything, ask me and I'll tell. Ask me about certain other people and I'll tell as well.
In the case of Bastet - who happens to be my little sister, for those still in the dark on that score - I'll make stuff up if I can't come up with something interesting and truthful. And then I'll tell you that.

Edit: Oh, and as of 5 minutes ago, I removed the underscores from my name. Now there's just empty space between the words.

Is the fact you removed the underscores from your name a sure sign of your left leaning politics and desire to plunge the world into anarchy? Or, not?

What kind of pets do you have, and under what circumstances would you consider them food?

Can catepillars get precocious crushes on butterflies, or must they wait until they too are a butterfly before they feel lust?

What are the ages of your children, and please don't answer, "Stone age", "Bronze age", and "Iron age".

What religion, if any, do you consider yourself most sympathetic to?

What three things do you like most about RF?

Please tell us a little bit about the business you own and operate, and also why you failed to become a prostitute back in the days when the money was good and the hours short?

If you were a straw, would you prefer to be a cocktail straw or a soda straw, and why?

Do you have an art or craft you enjoy doing as a hobby?

I never know what questions to ask of people, because I don't want to intrude, but, here goes.....

How long have you been together with your "significant other half ?"

What is it like being a sister to Bastet ?

What do you enjoy doing for fun and relaxation ?

Were you born in Ozz, or are you an English deserter?

Well, I hadn't thought of it like that...my assumption was that I was doing it for ease of typing the thing out, but now I have to question my own motives...this'll keep me up all night now.

What kind of pets do you have, and under what circumstances would you consider them food?

We have 3 dogs at the moment: Pippi, MacVittie (or Mac, for short) and Princess Slug. My 5 and 7 year olds fought over the name, so she got to keep both. I also have a cat called Rudyard Kipling(Kip). If they keep waking me up in the middle of the night, they may all end up a tasty dinner in the very near future.

Can catepillars get precocious crushes on butterflies, or must they wait until they too are a butterfly before they feel lust?

I think they can, but that no butterfly with a shred of decency would take advantage of one so tender in weeks.

What are the ages of your children, and please don't answer, "Stone age", "Bronze age", and "Iron age".

Spoilsport. They're 11, 7 and 5. The oldest starts highschool in a couple of weeks, the youngest starts primary school. And so I was freed.

What religion, if any, do you consider yourself most sympathetic to?

I probably lean more towards the pagans, but that could just be the evil influence of Feathers. The gods are well rounded and generally complete personalities.

What three things do you like most about RF?

Feathers rabble rousing,the opportunity for a good argument, and you've gotta love the place you met your closest friend. I think that's a law or something.

Please tell us a little bit about the business you own and operate, and also why you failed to become a prostitute back in the days when the money was good and the hours short?

Well, the landscaping business is now defunct, so that's the long and short of that. I failed to become a prostitute because I just didn't do well enough at the audition. Older and more skilled now, I have considered trying out again, but the fact it's legal now means things like performance reviews by the boss and having to pay tax...there's so many people cracking the whip.
And that's just the dominatrix down the road.

If you were a straw, would you prefer to be a cocktail straw or a soda straw, and why?

Cocktail straw...if I'm gonna drown, I prefer it not to be in something that will put tiny bubbles up my nose.

Do you have an art or craft you enjoy doing as a hobby?

Well, I do a lot of cross stitch. I also make jewelry, which is a bit of a paying hobby, and hopefully eventually a bit more of the paying and less of the hobby. I also make beaded dolls...or at least I've made one, and enjoyed it so much that I've got another three planned.

About 14 years...the first bit was a bit on and off. We've been under the same roof for about 12 now.

What is it like being a sister to Bastet ?

Well, aside from the fact that I was a girl scout and she somehow ended up with my indoctrination to the secret gay agenda club, she's ok, except for the fact she's a very bad influence and makes me drink too much on Christmas Eve. Got her comeuppance there though. Come to think of it, so did I.

What do you enjoy doing for fun and relaxation ?

Sleep is always good. Read. Watch TV. Mooch around the internet. Make things. I have future plans involving the pub and pizza...apparently large quantities of both.

Were you born in Ozz, or are you an English deserter?

Nup, born here...and I believe you called them convicts Mich, not deserters.

Yup...Kangaroo Court in an Banana Republic. And then all the bananas blew away in the cyclone. Now all we have left is the queen.
