Getting my extravert on

Prior to 2003, I always tested INFP.

8 things

There’s an eight things meme circulating about that I’ve done many times before, but at ExPointOh there’s a whole new audience to reach, and Ben Martin tagged me. So here are eight things you don’t know about me.
1. I’m most well-known on the blogosphere as a contributing editor for the Episcopal Cafe. That crowd [...]

Ok, ok, Uncle! UNCLE!

I have a post up at today’s Daily Episcopalian. I have another being published tomorrow, that’s kinda sorta part two, and in it, I out a small percentage of the blogs I write at, when the spirit siezes me to do so.
Part one is here:What about Generation X? Cause quite frankly, I’m sick of that [...]

On growth

My son lives with his dad. He’s at that age where he goes away for two weeks and comes back two inches taller. It’s disconcerting for me, but moreso for friends who haven’t seen him in a year or two. To them, he’s a foot taller. He’s rapidly approaching six feet tall, even though [...]

gallycat sabbatical ending on sept. 3

labor day. how funny.
i’m almost back in teh driver’s seat. just a little bit longer to go and i can start my faith-oriented writings again. Spontaneous outbursts still at deviathan, but just wanted to let those of you who don’t read both blogs know that I’m doing ok.
The news is that i have a new [...]

Been caught out as helcat

I have an alter-ego. Well, actually, gallycat is my alter-ego, because helcat came first. Mad Priest has been so kind as to out me as that ne’er-do-well once-upon-a-goth-dj (wait, I did that here).
But I should note to any intrepid new visitors that most of my brain noise is at My Empire of Pesticide-Free Dirt.
I [...]

I’m still alive..

in spite of car problems, physical therapy healing everything but my wallet, and feeling way beaten up by life lately…
will post more soon. been driving back and forth to front royal every day this week, and i know that’s why I’m so tired…
Anyhow, I’m on the Episcopal Cafe’s Daily feed, with an essay on a [...]

Eight Random Things Meme

I got tagged by Quaker Pastor, so here goes.
First, the rules. Then, the meme.
1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3.At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged [...]

RGBP Friday Fiving

I should start doing these again, since they’re a great way of getting to know us.
1. Have you ever successfully quit a bad habit, or gotten a good habit established? Tell us about how you did it.I quit smoking for the third and final time by taking up knitting. I quit caffeine because I was [...]

I AM A HOMEOWNER!

Closed on the house today, and inherited a fair amount of furniture from the previous owners.
If you would like the new address, please write me at
gallycatatgallycat. com
and I will be more than happy to send it along.
i am excited about this beyond words. and exhausted.

Goofy test results

That are surprisingly accurate.Especially my complete lack of grace in handling compliments. Dunno about terrific in relationships, though. Terrifying is just as true some days, I think.

For all the saints…

this is pretty funny, given that I failed all the questions on Julian of Norwich on my Medieval English final. but it does make sense that I'd land a mystic literary figure. yeesh.
You are Julian of Norwich! It's all about God, toyou. You're convinced that the world has ahappy ending. Everyone else is convinced [...]

It's gallycat, not galleycat

Why Gallycat?
In anime, Battle Angel Alita was one of the first animes that I saw and fell in love with. I don't follow the form obsessively, but this one, Evangelion, and Star Blazers are the three that have affected me the most. Gally was the character's name in the series, but in America, they transposed [...]

My 16 yo self, part deux

On third thought, definitely don't want to talk to her.
Sept 10, 1987
Steven threw a wad of paper at me today. It's depressing to think he should want my attention [1]. As it was, I was typing [2] and the small peice [3] of paper landed in front of me. Having noticed that the paper came [...]
