;Why did you choose Green?
 
;Why did you choose Green?
−
I choose it because I did a self inventory. I wanted to pick an Ajah that reflected me by their philosophy. One where i could honestly say...if all my friends left an ajah I was interested in...would I STILL be representing that Ajah. Green was the answer.
+
because honestly...that is what I am. My sister said that she tended the Ajah towards my personality...bless her...but yeah..it was a definite fit.

Maybe in my youth. I am still very much a "fighter" and still a bit agressive about things. I do like men and feel they are extremely important. But I have mellowed with age and doubt I would be sleeping with all my warders :P...too much energy.

In my 20's I could definitely answer yes to all three...now I have to say that partying takes too long to recover from...so I don't party too much. Still love men and am amused by them...they are magnificent creatures!! I do like hanging around my tower friends at gatherings both local and annual. At home, though, I am usually found to be curled up with a good book...okay it is a racey historical romance book...but HEY I am reading!! And I have been known to watch project runway...but don't tell anyone :P.

love to party even at my age, adore men they are the bomb, love fashion and definitely wear makeup :)...kudos to Cataia for introducing me to Urban Decay :0

I am bonded to Oryn Riker...most awesome gaidin/cleric!! We are years apart in age, but he is very wise and an excellent listener and extremely kind. I couldn't be prouder of my warder and friend.
+
Oryn...best gaidin ever.

I am currently a CE mod. Wish I could do more, but I am not computer inclined. I do volunteer at the events I go too. I love to help my friends here on the site in anyway that I can.
+
lots and none. I have done a lot over the years but felt like I slacked at others. Been a CE mod for over two years, taught classes, been philantrhopy coordinator, etc...I do what I can because I love the site.

I was FORCED to read the series upon pain of DEATH!! Okay...well ummm they put me in lockdown as a Novice until I read the whole series....After awhile being only allowed to view a few forums gets kinda tedious.... :(

I was made too in order to get out of the novice quarters :).

−
Yeppers! Love them. I have met some of my dearest real life friends from the events and on this site. I only recommend functions if you can handle a lot of personalities in cramped quarters for a very short time. The Drama is interesting...it is like a HUGE family reunion to include that Uncle that gets drunk and says the funniest things!! Seriously, you attend a function and then a year later attend another and it is like that year was nothing. Our members are awesome, fun to hang around with, and wish most of them lived closer.
+
Yep...done that. I like Anni best because it is only tower folks. Ban is the Bomb :)

;What kind of music do you like?

I am open to most types of music. Not a big fan of rap...but some is okay. I am extreme in my tastes from Limp Bisket to Tears for Fears to Chopin. I have been known to listen to folk music, John Denver, and even the BeeGees. Not too keen on country, but it is fun to dance too :)

Alternative

My all time favorite will always be "Gone with the Wind". I love historical movies like Elizabeth, Pride and Predjudice, Troy, Braveheart...I am also a huge Clint Eastwood western buff and have seen them many many times.

anything to do with history.

I think the dumbest thing I have ever done was in college when during a party someone said "HEY why don't we go up to the "blow hole" (went to college by the ocean on the west coast). So we piled into a truck with, I am sure someone who was less "drunk" than the rest of us, and drove 30 minutes up the highway to a state park....in the dark...we "held hands" as we traversed a narrow trail along a cliff :|...and scaled down some rocks to a cave and watched the tide roll in and blow up the "hole" into the cave. We did this without benefit of flashlight...I think the lead guy had a lighter :)... I am still surprised that a: No one fell in...especially the boys who wanted to "get their face wet" by leaning over the hole. and B) that no one fell off that narrow trail onto the rocks and ocean 100 feet below at one point. Not to mention that we didn't get into an accident. I think God has a great sense of humor in protecting the young and stupid *nods*.

I have done lots of crazy stupid things...the list would be long and I am sure I will do more :)

I am old enough to know better but young enough not to care. Married a second time...but was more careful and married the love of my life. Have four wonderful children...one who is adopted and is more like me than any of my biological children. I love museums, gardens, camping, nature in all her glory. Hate cities, crowds, people who won't even try to improve their lives. Not keen on "whiners" and kick myself when I whine. Love a good restaurant, movies at home, candles, and the sound of children laughing. One good friend is worth more than gold...if I have more than one, I consider myself wealthy. I love to learn, to read, to explore...life is precious and fun. No day should be wasted on stupid shit.

Miridy is just a person who actually likes all she has met through the site. She is as she posts...I think Gwynidon said it best when he remarked "OMG you talk just like you post". Yes he said "OMG" *tug*. I don't pretend to like anyone..you will know if I like you. I am married with kids and adore them all. I feel blessed by a sunrise because I am still here. I cry for every angst post and wish I could fix things for others. I live with passion, I fight with it too, but you never have to second guess me. I am what I am. A middle aged woman who adores her friends, loves life, and can appreciate the small stuff and doesn't sweat the sh*t life throws at one. My motto has always been "tomorrow is another day" thank you Scarlett...and "no one cares in a hundred years" :)
