I'm a curious person by nature. I sometimes wonder just who reads my blog :). I know I have some lurkers who occasionally leap out of hiding, and then I also have regular readers who consistently comment. Some of you I know a lot about, some of you a little, and some of you practically nothing. If you are reading this (even if I know who you are), would you do me a favor and fill in the following?
Name: (if this makes you uncomfortable, do first name only, or just an alias)
Location: (this can be as specific as city or as broad as country/continent - a US state sure would be nice, though!)
Religious Beliefs: (and if you are a Christian, a denomination or general affiliation would be nice)
How You Got Here: (help me fill out my "blog family tree")
Your Favorite Post that I Wrote: (and why it is your favorite would be nice)
Topics You Would Like Me to Address in the Future: (no promises here, but we'll see. . . )
Anything Else of Interest: (age, occupation, marital status, you had bacon this morning for breakfast, you like my hat, etc.)
If you don't have a blogger account, you can use the anonymous comment option, which I have enabled on my blog. Thank you!

ooh, ooh. Now I think I know. My entire family's favorite post of yours was the one where you typed up some of your elementary school writings.

(Susan you have a hilarious family! Their posts are too funny.)
Ooh, I like your new user pic, Jessie! And yes, my family is hilarious :).
Ash,
I actually am a bit acquainted with the Quakers, though not much. I'm more familiar with the 19th century version, though, which is quite different. A few years ago we were visiting an old Quaker meeting house with cousins, and I mentioned something about Quaker meetings being silent affairs, and one of my cousins, who attends a Quaker church, looked really confused! I know that some modern Quakers are universalists.

Oops, forgot to respond to you before, Zan. Yes, the Quakers actually had women pastors long before most religious groups thought about having them. You are about the 4th person to recommend Friendly Persuasion to me. I think I really must see it! I've seen Gary Cooper in Sergeant York, and he was great.

I have to be honest with you, I don't really care much for hats at all. All hats seem to look dumb on me. I'd love to be a historical seamstress like Elizabeth, but unfortunately, I don't have much sewing skill or the fiqure I'd need to wear old-fashioned clothes.
