In Which The Readers Are Getting Tired Of All These Quizzes, But Kat Is Losing Inspiration And Well, That's The Way The Cookie Crumbles

The Seven Heavenly Virtues

Faith

1. What religion do you follow?

Wicca. And I always will.

2. What religion were you raised as?:

That one religion about how humans evolved from apes, and you know, "space is infinite. . ." The atheist one.

3. Do you believe that forgiveness is a religious property, or a human property?

Human. The Gods are omnipotent, they're just not omnipotent, if you see what I mean. We control our fates to some extent.

4. Do you have your own commandments?

An it harm none, do what ye will. That would be the Wiccan law. If it hurts no one, your will is free. (We'll beat anyone's advertised religious stigma, or your mattress is freeee!)

5. What was the last promise you broke?

That I would be outside promptly at pick up time. So sue me. Strange conversations and chasing David around is more interesting.

6. Have you ever said the words to a prayer and not meant it?

Have you ever been forced to go to church by demonic denizens of Iowa known only as Gramps and Gran?

7. Do you believe that anyone could be perfect?

Perfection is a blank white mask. Perfection is loneliness without feeling. Perfection is numb. Perfection is polished. Perfection is a magic mirror that shows you only what you want to see. (That didn't answer the question, but so long as it sound pretty, hopefully you won't notice.)

Hope

1. Did you get everything you wanted over the last holiday season?

All but world domination, a pretty ALW style half mask, and a signed Crawford fedora. And Idina Menzel's voice. Damnit, I want her voice!

2. Regarding your future, what is the best thing you could hope for?

To go to Yale Drama School, or NYU, and get some kind of insane demented break in getting the bucks and the marketing to do Susan Kay's Phantom as a straight play. . .

3. Do you let yourself get your hopes up for something even if you know that there is a large chance of failure?

I don't do the whole "hope" thing usually. A couple auditions killed that one.

4. Freedom or fate? Freedom.

Freedom.

5. Have you ever bought a lottery ticket?

I'm too young. But in the future, prolly not. . .it seems a waste of money.

6. Do you gamble?

(Sarah Brown voice.) I don't bet. Okay, so no one but Ben got that. . .

7. Have you ever had something called off on account of bad weather, but then gone ahead and done it anyway?

YES! Ha. . .I was going to fight this fellow named Bubbles - yes, Bubbles - from camp, over a certain remark he made regarding a certain friend of mine, and it started to rain. And we ended up sort of swimming and fighting. Interesting fight, that.

Charity

1. What causes do you support?

Wiccan rights education, feminism, environmentalism, oh, and control of kid eating horses.

2. What causes have you given money or time to?

Hurricane Katrina efforts, Fundamental Fund.

3. Have you ever worked in a soup kitchen or done another kind of outreach for the homeless?

Well, I've done Angelfood, which takes food to people with AIDS, but I'm not sure if that qualifies. . .

4. Would you ever consider joining the Peace Corps, Amnesty International, or another travel?

Yes, definitely. Maybe then I can look like Angelina Jolie. (Kidding. I do not want to look like Angelina Jolie. She's scary.)

5. Do you give money to the homeless on the street?

Whenever possible.

6. Have you ever helped out a friend with basic needs, like rent or food?

Er, if any of you guys need food or some money to pay rent. . .I'm good for it. I only have twenty dollars, but still. . .

7. What's the greatest extent you've gone to help a friend in need?

Fought someone. I was a right little Scout Finch in my younger days. :)

Fortitude

1. What are you most afraid of?

Mirrors. I just don't like them, I tell you. They're so creepy and precise and all.

2. What did you do today that was really brave?

I threatened Luke with doom, doom, death and destruction, but then, that's Luke. I lived through a science test, and then Anthro test next period. Fear my brilliance. (Mr. E's test was the "test of humility," by the way. I am humbled.)

3. Who is your favorite superhero, and why?

I don't love superheroes, though I was once a big Spiderman person. And as to book people - if I were to choose one. . .well, I daren't say, it would only feed his ego, and we can't have that.

Erik: What do you mean about my ego?

Kat: Shut up, I didn't say it was you, and that says a lot about your ego.

Nadir: (Laughs.)

Kat: Exactly.

4. Would you put your life in danger to rescue someone?

Are you kidding? Well, if I think about how I feel regarding my life. . .I think I could do with some danger. To make things interesting. Also, I would do anything for a friend.

5. If you were to face the Wizard, would you want more courage, more brains, or more heart?:

Courage. I'm very brave, but you can always do with more. Because roller coasters and mirrors still scare me to death.

6. Have you ever gotten stage fright? If so, when?

Yes! My shows as Puck, and closing night as Borachio in Much Ado About Nothing. I start to sweat, and my face turns very red. There's also this strange buzzing feeling in your forehead. Hard to describe.

7. Do you consider yourself to be a leader or a follower?

Depends on the situation. Mostly a leader.

Justice

1. Have you ever been summoned for jury duty?

Give me time, m'dear.

2. If they reinstituted the draft (for both genders), would you go, or would find some way out of it?

Contientious objection for me, thankyas. Unless, of course, it was a very worthy war. (Ex. Yes for WW2, no for Iraq or 'Nam.)

3. Do you support capital punishment (the death penalty)?

The guilt is enough. And so, no. It is simply too great a risk. And besides, no one - I repeat, no one is beyond redemption or forgiveness. I believe this firmly.

4. Which should be guaranteed legal?

The blue one, I think.

5. Do you believe that Dubya is rightfully President of the USA?

. . .No.

6. What was your favorite media circus trial?

Not into those, so I can't say. I always identify with everyone, can't take a side.

7. Have you ever written a letter to a politician?

Yes, regarding the green card policy. I was three and hadn't realized that it was a green "card," and not, "car." I thought immigrants should be allowed to chose the color of their car.

Temperance

1. What do you have the hardest time moderating yourself on?

Computer use? Talking to Ben? Phan fiction?

2. Do you collect anything?

Phantom memorbilia, dust, music boxes, stickers. . .

Boba tea. Matcha green tea smoothies from Jamba juice. Phantom of the Opera. My blog. Oscar Wilde-ness.

4. Have you ever put anything on layaway or used an installment plan?

Once again, I must say, definitely the blue one.

5. What's your preferred method of paying for things?

With a service or a good deed, like a picture, or something. (Or with matchsticks and thread.)

6. Tell us one thing you wish you hadn't let yourself do?:

(Throws head back and laughs like a maniac.) I will give you only one word to reveal this long and tragic tale. And the word is: Shoe.

7. Do you feel that you obsess over things?

God yes. Phantom of the Opera. Hitchhiker's Guide. The blog. Phantom of the Opera. Nadir. Phantom of the Opera.

Prudence

1. Who is the wisest person you know?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say. . .Mrs. S, the seventh grade english teacher.

2. Have you ever participated in a vigil?

Not unless you count staying up until all hours.

3. Do you take advice when it's given?

As Alice once said, "I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it."

4. What area are you wisest in?

Helping other people with romance. I, however, can't seem to help myself regarding the subject.

5. Do you drive defensively?

(Laughs hysterically.)

6. What did you learn today?

That Yass can cartwheel. And I really really can't, in a major way.

I remain, gentlemen, your faithful and obedient servant,

J.G.
