The Quirk Shop: Long live the KING!

Full of Complex Carbohydrates and MicroNutrients

I am a novelty to many (and I'm fine with that).

I have a very silly sense of humor usually riddled with malapropisms (and I'm fine with that, too).

I ask too many questions of Life and I expect all the answers.

I trust people too easily when I shouldn't; however, I respect everyone regardless…unless they do something to make me think twice.

I don't cheat. I am tactful yet will give the truth up front (and never mean to hurt anyone's feelings with it).

I like to help the people who have helped me, and even those who have not.

I never forget... but sometimes I misplace things.

I never lose hope.

I am awesomely blessed for the people who have come into my life, and I am blessed for the people who have left because I realize I didn't need them anyway.

I honestly feel that laughter is the best medicine you can have.

I believe in being strong when everything else seems to be going wrong.

I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles. In other words, I'm human, and definitely not perfect.
But tomorrow is another day, and there's so much cheese to be had...

(thank you to Ranae S. for this bit of inspiration!)

I am talking about the tall, dark and very handsome man we knew as Bela Lugosi.

What card are you?

You are The Star

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.
