May Showers Bring May Flowers...

It is raining outside, nothing new here really for this time of year. I love it though, the rain, thunder, and the occasional tornado (you know the ones that dont do any damage or hurt anyone). Just a phenomenon that will always be something of interest I guess. On Oprah last night, they had a hypnotist who took people back into their "previous lives." I thought it was another interesting phenomenon, you know, going back to see who and what you were in past lives (if they so exist). I would imagine that maybe I was Dorothy or something and was carried off by a big twister, thus explaining my interest in them...

Anyway, on to more interesting things, like the intellegence deck! Card number 7 of 50:

As a Greek myself, I was often asked if I worshiped the Greek gods when I was younger... the answer was and still is no of course, but they are interesting philosophical gestures anyhow. I think if I had to pick one who represents me best it would be Hera. I have an interest in protecting my friends, and I also have an interest in adopting someday rather than having my own children.
