WELL..
Reading all of the Ren Faire posts and getting ready to go home for Christmas has me all wistful..
My hubby and I are going back to San Antonio for post- Christmas/ New Years and I have started to kinda planning what we wanna do, who we'll have time to see, etc. I am excited because one of the world's best living guitarists will be playing a few gigs in the area ( Austin) and I am thinking we will attend. I really am homesick most of the time because I HATE Las Vegas. I guess that I'm stuck here for the meantime, but someday I hope to move back. Not nessesarily to San Antonio, but in the SA/Austin/Hill Country area. New Braunfels is nice. Round Rock is cool. I'm just so sick of the heat, the year round allergies, the mean people, the traffic and the bad drivers, lack of real trees and plants, and lack of people that I feel like I can really get to know. Hmmph.

Stability results were medium which suggests you are moderately relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic. Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment. Extraversion results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.

table border='0' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='0' width='600'><tr><td></td><td> You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.

In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.
