A Vocations Quiz

[vee]

I had an idea of a few questions that would probably never appear on a real vocations quiz to help you find an Order. Feel free to add your own.

Do you like hugging trees?

Do you call animals brother squirrel and sister pigeon?

Do you like shoes?

Are you just as happy in the library as you are in the chapel?

Do you like to argue about proper sledding techniques?

Does the idea of burning your books makes you scream NOOOOO!?

Do you cry a lot?

Can your tears fill a bucket, that you would then use to mop the floor with? [size="1"](thanks to jt for that one! )[/size]



more??

[laetitia crucis]

Do you often mistake the word "v[b]a[/b]cation" for "v[b]o[/b]cation"?

Do you accidentally call doctors "Father"?

Do you find yourself "randomly" looking through various websites of religious orders?

Do you like to "nun gaze"?

Does your heart flutter when you see a nun/sister/priest/monk?

Do you practice signing your ideal religious name?

Do you wrap towels around your head and pretend it's a veil?

Do you randomly sing/hum hymns?

Do you refer to your weekly Holy Hour as a "date with Jesus"?

[dominicansoul]

do you often plan your vacation around areas where there are convents of interest? In other words, do you make your v[b]a[/b]cation all about your v[b]o[/b]cation?

Vee, this thread makes me laugh.

[SrBenigna]

Do you call your bedroom a "cell"?

Do you call your kitchen a "refectory"?

Do you call the hallway that leads to your bathroom a "cloister"?

Did you install a turn into your wall? (what?! that's a bit much! Better see a psych doc if you do that!)

Do you eat your breakfast standing up?

[IgnatiusofLoyola]

Do you find your bed too soft and prefer to sleep on the floor?

Do you hate wearing jeans/pants/shorts and always wear long skirts?

Do you wear so many religious medals that you "jingle?"

Have you ever worn white socks with sandals in public voluntarily?

Do you have a holy water font in your car?

Is one of your dreams never to have your own bathroom?

Do you wish that someone would set up an hourly schedule for you every day, because you hate having a free choice?

Have you ever envied Muslim women who keep their hair covered and wear long skirts when it's 100 degrees outside?

Do you find yourself waking up at 5:00 am every day and wishing you could get up earlier?

Do you crave liver meatloaf?

Creepy - at this very minute I am wearing along black skirt to my ankles and white top....it is 92 degrees outside!!!

Do you keep reading pre-conert fears as pre-convent fears?

[laetitia crucis]

I have a confession:

While in high school and college... [size=1]I would occasionally wear white socks and sandals... unabashedly. [/size]

*gasp*

Former? In my crystal ball I see you wearing white socks with sandals within 18 months, possibly less. Not sure how I know this, I just have this premonition.

Do you consider spending time with family and friends "recreation?"

Did you and any of your siblings ever run off in an attempt to be martyred?

Are you so sure of your vocation youve had the nerve to ask the pope himself if you could enter early?

Were you ever beaten and robbed of all you had and were happy about it?

Has your family tried to lock you in a tower?

Has your family made you sleep in the cellar and you were happy about it?

[elizabeth09]

Do you like to pray?

Who knew??



I guess I should've known when I started hoarding books as a young child. My first "accidental" "lost" library book happened in kindergarten......

I think it was [i]U is for Umbrella[/i].... it had pretty pictures.
