1: How do you see yourself?
Henrietta Marie -- "Who's this?" I wondered, then read further, and discovered to my dismay, it was an IT, not a who... a slave ship (named after the wife of King Charles I).  Um, not a very humorous or fun start to this meme.  But it's what came up, so I'm posting it here, along with a link for those of you who are history minded.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Marie

2: How do other people see you? 
2000 Men's Water Polo Olympic Qualifier?  But I don't even know how to swim!

3: What do you fear the most?
Controversies involving the National Republican Congressional Committee -- okay, cool!  Finally, something humorous AND appropriate for question #3.  *g*   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_involving_the_National_Republican_Congressional_Committee 

4: What gives you most pleasure?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_leaders_in_1980  -- Well, I DO think of myself as fairly religious/spiritual, but yeah, I can think of other things that give me greater pleasure, especially the LEADERS of most religions. 

5: What thing in your past has had most impact on who you are now? 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Rolfe  - Oh, absolutely.  Because a professional soccer player has had a great influence on my life.  Certainly.  

6: What can you expect from the future?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Hyam  --  Hm.  A famous "cricket player" in my future.  :: considers the implications :: 
Maybe I'll move to England.  Or take up a new sport?  Or perhaps my garden crops will be attacked by a plague of crickets -- :: shudders ::
Or maybe Darin and I will go to Brit's Pub downtown for dinner this weekend.   That sounds like the best of those options.  

7: What thing do you desire the most?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masjid_al-Haram  --  Goodness.  Well, I'd have plenty of company there, wouldn't I?   Maybe that's what I desire most, is not to be alone?   Nahhhhh. 

8: What thing do you find most repulsive?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Askham -- Well, you have to admit, "Lord Mayors of London" are pretty disgusting, especially when they were former fishmongers!   Ew!   *g*

9: What will give you your ultimate lucky break? 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Bruckheimer -- Okay, this sort of makes sense -- I could switch fandoms, or at least ADD one, and start writing CSI fanfic.   And Jerry Bruckheimer could find out about it and hire me to write (slashy?) scripts for his shows!   And I'll become a famous writer in Hollywood and will the Emmy and the Oscar...   

10: What will be the cause of your ultimate doom?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllosticta_cyclaminella -- A plant pathogen?  How very CSI!!!
