Found this on Jaclyn's blog, pretty impressive how accurate it is, not perfect of course, but close enough to be freaky :-p

Your Life Path Number Is 7

7 You are a peaceful and affectionate soul... and by nature rather reserved and analytical. The overwhelming strength of the number 7 is reflected in the depth of thinking that is shown. You will garner knowledge from practically every source that you find. Intellectual, scientific and studious, you don't accept a premise until you have dissected the subject and arrived at you own independent conclusion. This is a very spiritual number and it often denotes a sort of spiritual wisdom that becomes apparent at a fairly early age. You need a good deal of quiet time to be with your own inner thoughts and dreams. You dislike crowds, noise and confusion. You are very thorough and complete in your work, the perfectionist who expects everyone else to be a meet a high standard of performance, too. You evaluate situations very quickly and with amazing accuracy. You rely heavily on your experiences and your intuition, rather than accepting advice from someone. Your hunches usually prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, you are one who tends to follow the directions they seem to guide. It's easy for you to detect deception and recognize insincere people. You aren't one to have a wide circle of friends, but once you accept someone as a friend, it's for life. You really aren't a very social person, and your reserve is often taken to be aloofness. You actually like being alone, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. In many ways, you would have fit in better in much earlier times when the pace of life was less hectic. In the most negative use of the 7 energies, you can become very pessimistic, lackadaisical, quarrelsome, and secretive. A Life Path 7 individual who is not living life fully and gaining through experiences. A negative 7 is a hard person to live with because of a serious lack of consideration. The negative 7 is very selfish and spoiled. If you have any of the negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of. At your worst, you feel that the world really does owe you something - or in some way you aren't being fairly treated. Fortunately, the negative 7 is not the typical 7, at least not without some mitigating positive traits. This number is one that seems to have some major shifts from highs to lows. Stability in feelings may be elusive for you.

Bored so I stole this from Jake

teh end

What a wonderful weekend it has been. Friday was ver nice despite all the driving. It was very good to see peeps again on saturday and help Chris with teh house. We even got to play a little rambling and incoherent D&D session. I'd gotten to see Grandpa earlier in the day which was nice, actually got to talk to him for a little bit and learned about some of his old jobs. I didn't get to see Grandma because she was off fishing with my parents and uncle, but thats fine and hopefully means she's feeling better. Then sunday back to Augusta. Church went really well and I'm looking forward to the parents and bekah coming down next weekend, I think they're gonna like it. Also around and about that I read the third book in the Dark is Rising series. I really have to agree with you Melissa, she does a great job of blending the legends and myths. The only complaint I have really is the author's take on religion, which might just be part of the books and not an attempt to work her opinion into the books.
No new news on the house front, I've contacted another realtor and have them looking too. We'll just have to wait and see. One of my uncles suggested I drive around and look for HUD houses (bascially government owned repos) which seems like a pretty good idea. Maybe I'll make my parents do that this weekend :-p

Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light:
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.

As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall,
Through which there shone a beam of light.

Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice length,
And unfolded itself on the other side.

The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before.
And it lost itself in beauties new.
Breathing its fragrance more and more.

Shall claim of death cause us to grieve,
And make our courage faint or fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope receive,
The rose still grows beyond the wall.

Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore.
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forevermore.

Found this online when looking for song lyrics (It is Well With My Soul) which is such a great song. Lyrics here: http://www.geocities.com/cott1388/spafford.html Beware the midi music. Also on that page is a story about the author of the song and his circumstances when he was writing it, which I'll copy here. Thats a lot of updating! :-p

In 1871, tragedy struck Chicago as fire ravaged the city. When it was all over, 300 people were dead and 100,000 were homeless. Horatio Gates Spafford was one of those who tried to help the people of the city get back on their feet. A lawyer who had invested much of his money into the downtown Chicago real estate, he'd lost a great deal to the fire. And his one son (he had four daughters) had died about the same time. Still, for two years Spafford--who was a friend of evangelist Dwight Moody--assisted the homeless, impoverished, and grief-stricken ruined by the fire.

After about two years of such work, Spafford and his family decided to take a vacation. They were to go to England to join Moody and Ira Sankey on one of their evangelistic crusades, then travel in Europe. Horatio Spafford was delayed by some business, but sent his family on ahead. He would catch up to them on the other side of the Atlantic.

Their ship, the Ville de Havre, never made it. Off Newfoundland, it collided with an English sailing ship, the Loch Earn, and sank within 20 minutes. Though Horatio's wife, Anna, was able to cling to a piece of floating wreckage (one of only 47 survivors among hundreds), their four daughters--Maggie, Tanetta, Annie, and Bessie--were killed. Horatio received a horrible telegram from his wife, only two words long: "saved alone."

Spafford boarded the next available ship to be near his grieving wife, and the two finally met up with Dwight Moody. "It is well," Spafford told him quietly. "The will of God be done."

Though reports vary as to when he did so, Spafford was led during those days of surely overwhelming grief to pen the words to one of the most beautiful hymns we know, beloved by Christians lowly and great. Though not yet (to my knowledge) in Catholic hymnals, it has long been a favorite of Baptists (and other evangelicals) including Martin Luther King.

So after a lot of thought and investigation I've pretty much decided to let the house I was looking at pass. The final nail in the coffin came when I learned that the water is from a well, and the house is for sale because it was raided by the ATF. What with all the crap they'd been burying in the land that I could see, and no telling what else they'd buried, there is no way I'd be comfortable with the water from any well on the land. Especially not since it had been raided by the ATF. So thats that, I'm just going to have to keep looking. I'm sure the right one will come along when the time is right. Also my little sister will be moving down here in July to go to Augusta State. I think its going to be super cool as we get along well and generally haven't had much time to hang out since I went to college. Church is going pretty well, but its sad because we're not having services for two weeks because of the Masters. (Its part of the contract we have with the building we rent) So that kinda sucks, and once again sports are interfering with something vastly more important.
In other news I've finally gotten around to reading some, finished two books in The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper. I had read one of the books when I was little and have been wanting to read the rest. I also got to watch Cowboy Bebop again today, which is an awsome anime, and I'm going to post a little story from the final episode as well as a link to an extended version I found online.
Peace to all

There once was a tiger-striped cat.
This cat lived a million lives and died a million deaths and was owned by many of the richest and most powerful people, but he never cared about any of them. He was no longer afriad to die.

Then, one day, the cat was born a stray cat, which meant that he was free.
He met a white female cat, and the two cats spent their days happily in each other's company.
Years passed, and finally the white cat grew weak and died of old age.

The tiger-striped cat cried a million tears, one tear for each of his million lives, and then he also died, this time never to return to life.
