I’m playing around with WordPress right now (and have been for the last few days). I’m thinking of moving my site and changing its name and I wanted to know what other people think. It would still be on peacefulwaters.org but probably a different subdomain or something.

If you want to add your input, leave me a comment and answer the following questions:

1.) Should I move the site and change the name?
2.) If yes, what should the new name be?

I’ve got some names in mind but I’d love to hear from people on this.

Since there is no Friday Five this week, Rick created his own.

1. What is the top news story this week?
Probably all the gay marriage hullabaloo in San Francisco, DC, and New York

2. What are you looking forward to this weekend?
Listening to various NPR shows (which have ended up being pre-empted or lengthened because of pledge season starting). Also trying to finish this if my kleptos will leave my yarn, project, and hook alone.

3. Do you watch the Oscars? Why or why not?
Only to harass my sister-in-law with the winners (since I see everything before she does).

4. What are you looking forward to as Spring approaches?
No more snow. Planting my garden.

5. Is there anything at all to watch on daytime television?!?
Depends on if you have cable or not. 😛

I took the SelectSmart.com denomination selector quiz and this is what I got:

Your #1 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, Christian Denomination Selector is the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Well well well… apparently I *AM* Lutheran enough. Take that candidacy committee!

1. Are you superstitious?
Nope.

2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?
Gluing a mirror back together

3. Believer or not, what’s your favorite superstition?
The one about the black cat being bad luck if it crosses your path. Of course I don’t believe it — I have a beautiful black princessish cat.

4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual?
I don’t necessarily believe in luck. (Why should I? I’m Irish. Luck is in my bloodstream — I just know it’s there, not something that requires belief.) I have a favorite number, but I don’t know if it brings me luck necessarily.

5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
Not really. I’m a Taurus, but even that doesn’t fit me because I should logically be a Gemini (because I’m a twin) and I’m not.

You have just won one million dollars:

1. Who do you call first?
My parents or Jon’s parents

2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself?
I’d pay off our student loans and any other debt before buying anything. Then, I’d probably buy a car.

3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else?
Maybe would pay off the mortgages for my parents and in-laws.

4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?
Our churches, various charities like Union Station Foundation, Save the Children, Habitat for Humanity, start a fund for the poor in our part of Minnesota, donate to AIDS research, AIDS education, create scholarships for women MTS students at my seminary…

5. Do you invest any? If so, how?
Not sure. I’d have to talk to a financial planner.

1. Using one adjective, describe your current living space.
messy (at least my study)

2. Using two adjectives, describe your current employer.
non-existent, invisible

3. Using three adjectives, describe your favorite hobby/pasttime.
stimulating, intellectual, page-pounding (I read, therefore I am)

4. Using four adjectives, describe your typical day.
quiet, cat-filled, nocturnal, sleepy

5. Using five adjectives, describe your ideal life.
exciting, grace-filled, Christ-centered, worthwhile, God-seeking

1. What food do you like that most people hate?

Sushi. Most people in these parts think I’m weird for eating it. Soy milk ice cream (mmmmmmmm…. Mint Marble Fudge) is a close second.

2. What food do you hate that most people love?

Brocolli, anything uber-greasy, anything pig-related

3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?

Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, pretty much all the superstars

4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find attractive?

I don’t know that there is anyone that people hate that I like. I’m really into such things.

5. What popular trend baffles you?

Your first marriage being your “practice one” (get some people skills y’all), a lot of the fashion trends where starlets are wearing skirts that don’t even cover their butts, a lot of the American Christian sub-culture (your kids can’t read Harry Potter but can read about even scarier stuff in the Left Behind books — yeah… that makes so much sense), the nouveau Reformed movement (how many of the uber-Reformed people on campus have actually *read* Calvin?) that are (probably unintentionally) giving off an air of pretentiousness, the movement of parents not to discipline their kids…
