A situation arose at work today that put me in mind of all the children and teens who live every day without someone to take care of and love them. I think I've mentioned before how much I'd like to be a foster parent, and today I was wishing that I were in a place in my life where I could make that happen.

I'm not even sure I'd be a good foster parent, but I'd like the option to consider it seriously, to try. At the moment, though, I think the best I can do is to seek out organizations that serve that same group of children and teens and offer my time.

In the meantime, this is Week of the Killer Quizzes, and the quizzes must go on! And such a mélange of quizzes we have for you today. Bon appétit!

You Are Wise You are too much of a generalist to specialize in anything. The problem is that you're good at everything. You try to live an enlightened life. You are benevolent, noble, and intuitive. You are sensitive and intuitive. You understand others and yourself well. You are honest about your opinions and feelings. You'd rather be blunt, even if it upsets people.

The Cappuccino Test

I'm not sure this counts as a quiz, since you don't exactly answer questions, but I love the idea that people's personalities can be read in the food, patterns, art, cars, etc. that they choose. And this is fairly accurate. I don't know that I'm truly good at everything, but I'm certainly interested in just about everything. And though I try to soften my honesty so that it doesn't upset people, sometimes the bluntness takes over.

Ambrose (Flycatcher/The Frog Prince) Ambrose, affectionately known as Flycatcher, is pretty much the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He's innocent and faithful as well as brave in the face of unknown danger. He is soft-hearted and would never hurt anyone if he could help it.

Which Character from Fables Are You?

This is not the best Fables quiz in the world, but as far as I can tell, it's the only Fables quiz in the world. And with the news that they may be making a Fables movie, I couldn't resist. As for my result, I probably would be Ambrose, come to think of it...much though I might like to be Snow. Or Frau Totenkinder...without that whole eating kids thing.

Tropical Rain Forest Full of life, full of possibility, containing many answers to mankind's problems. Fragile, exploited, dwindling. You have such a beautiful soul, and you would do anything to help someone else. Unfortunately, people end up taking advantage of you. They use you all up and then move on. You never complain, though. You just keep giving and giving. The sad thing is, someday, you're going to be all used up.

Which Biome Are You?

So basically I'm the Giving Tree. :) I'm not convinced I'm quite so vulnerable to others' demands---maybe the rain forest is more resilient than we give it credit for?---but I like the notion of being full of possibility and having a beautiful soul. ...Even if I do have Bill Withers' "Use Me" stuck in my head now. So catchy!
