I just read this thread, thinking maybe I'd describe myself a little. But, Sweet Mother of Mercy!, that thing doesn't count as a questionnaire - that's The Spanish Inquisition!

I'm not sure even[b][i] I [/i][/b]know the answer to all those questions! And I've known myself for a pretty long time....

I love Jesus
