As requested, here is a picture of our new puppy, Marlowe, from his adoption page: http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=10846260

I've taken some pictures of him, but have to load them onto my computer still. It's so funny to watch Marlowe and Bennington playing! Marlowe tears around the house so fast that his paws slide out from underneath him. Not only that, but he also bangs into the sliding glass door and leaps over me onto the sofa. Yeah, he's a great big rambunctious puppy.

After our dear, beloved Bruce passed away, it just was not the same without two dogs, so I started looking around and researching the rescue pages. After much looking, I finally found an eighteen month old German Shepherd at a rescue site in South Florida who needed a home - Marlowe.

Marlowe is MUCH smaller than his older brother. Bennington weighs in at 112 pounds, while Marlowe is a downright puny 65 pounds. Both German Shepherds. Both about the same height. It's not that Bennington is overweight or anything, because he's not. It's just that Bennington is big boned and Marlowe is a toothpick.

So now we have two German Shepherds playing around the house again. Life is good.

What type of personality are you?  This certainly is nothing new, but even if you are not into psychology, the  Myers-Briggs personality test is rather cool and interesting to take.  This particular one is not from the actual Myers-Briggs site, but is a free one based on the Myers-Briggs and Jungian models.

According to the test, I am an INFP.  I read the description of an INFP's personality and I must say that it was spot on in describing me.  I am already finding this information to be quite helpful. 

Ok, I got this from pearltook

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate!
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.


Questions from durayan:


1. What's YOUR favorite drawing you've done and why? (Don't have to limit it to HP if you don't want to).

Well, my favourite HP drawing overall is this one of Remus: http://www.sugarquill.net/viewa.php?artid=982  I like the vulnerability and sadness expressed in his eyes.

My favourite humourous HP drawing is this one: http://www.sugarquill.net/viewa.php?artid=593  Ah, if only it could have been that way!

However, at the moment, my favourite drawing of mine is non-HP; it is my visualisation tree, full of life and hope as I climb through all the suffocatingly dark intertwined limbs to the top of it where I can breathe freely of the fresh air and be part of the bright world:

2. Wizards or Hobbits?

I'm going to assume you mean HP wizards for this one, not Gandalf and such. lol!  Right now, give me a hobbit any day.  Not only are they warm and friendly, but they are always filled with hope and find the good side of things.  They know what is important in life, including to be happy and not take yourself too seriously.

3. Since Pummy and I just watched Aladdin, you get three wishes, what are they and ixnay on the wishing for more wishes. 

Hang it all!  That's exactly what I would have wished for!  Dang!  Okay, then I would wish that: 

1)  Niki grows up to be happy, mentally and physically healthy, and well adjusted. 

2)  Ditto for me - and soon!

3)  Ditto for Remus (which means including at the end of Book 7).

4. What do you know now that you wish you knew when you were 20?

That even if nobody else cares what is going on inside of me, I am important and matter to myself.

5. Biggest regret?

All the years I have wasted being a reflective - reactive mirror.
