(by the way, if you just feel like chatting, definitely feel free to use gtalk (same id as this journal) I find gtalk exceedingly convenient since 1. I can reply from my cell phone and 2. The logs are stored in my gmail acct so I can always reply to the conversation later if a life-storm drags me away :)
neutral good INTP (A very good INTP profile)
Architect temperment but sometimes I think I seem more Inventor-y in a social setting where I feel comfortable (such settings are not common, I just tend to spend a lot of time in one once I identify it ;)

"In essentials, unity, in doubtful matters, liberty; in all things charity."
Pope John XXIII, Ad Petri Cathedram
and popularly attributed to St. Augustine
"We are the light of the world
Let our light shine before all
That they may see the good that we do
And give glory to God"
A me-belief: "If you care about each other, and it seems like your needs conflict..... instead of just accepting that at face value, it seems to me that it is important to take time to sit down and discern the true shape of each need to find out what is and isn't negotiable"
Important relationship note about me - Close relationships involving me get a lot of mileage out of explicit negotiation. That's not to say that I can't be involved in relationships where there is a requirement for negotiation to be more implicit and less explicit.... more unspoken and less articulated.... it's just the implicit is a very inefficient lever where I am concerned and has rarely, to my knowledge, resulted in any kind of measurable progress. (Yes, explicitness may involve time and energy.... but on the other hand, learning will result.... and I value learning whether or not I am comfortable with any particular detail that I have learned)
I'd say I'm really more of a bluestocking than a tomboy
I am Catholic. I take that seriously. By that I do not mean that by any stretch of the imagination that I practice my faith perfectly, but I continue to strive to better myself and the world around me through striving towards a more perfect practice of my faith. While I am more than willing to discuss unfortunate failures of Catholics or Catholicism to be the example and wellspring that it should be, I will state at the start that I have little use for discussions that are only about bashing the Catholic Church.
On the other hand I am fiercely pro-ecumenism. Does that mean I don't think there are times when the drive towards ecumenism is misdirected? No, but it does mean that conversations based on the idea the ecumenism is definitionally corrupt and inspired by evil forces are going to get about as far with me as conversations that involve bashing the Catholic church.
I have discovered over the years that I do not really appreciate the flavor of drive-by intimacy whether physical, hormonal or emotional.

It is not about praying for God to "be with us"
God loves us. God does not suffer from human limitations on being with loved ones. God is with us.
It is about praying to experience that reality/truth.
It is not about attracting the attention of a wayward and fickle deity. It is about opening our senses to God's eternal presence and Love.
