Not my usual kind of post

Okay - You all know that I have a whole list of meaningful, insightful, substantive posts being composed in the corners of my mind. Really. I do. You saw the list. So, I intended, today, really today, to get to putting those thoughts on screen (gosh that just does not have the same FEEL as "pen to paper" does it?) Today was the day. If only I hadn't taken that turn first and decided to get inspiration by reading a few blogs first. My pal Dana, over there, is totally responsible for distracting me into the realm of fantasy. Well, of course it's not fantasy, it's just a different meaningful and insightful than I'd planned....after all, it makes me sound pretty darned cool - someone I'd like to get to know I think. I enjoyed this diversion, and I hope you do too and I promise, really promise to get back to serious blogging tonight, tomorrow, after Maggie's wedding, (Did I mention that kidlet #5 is getting married this weekend?) soon.

Heh. Idealistic? Me?

The Queen's Knight

Congrats! Only 4-5% of the population score this!


The Queen’s Knight is armed with rose-colored glasses. The mundane comes to life and nature becomes expressive of spirit. The interesting thing about this Knight is the ability to switch from fantasy to reality. There are exceptions to the rule, but this is the type that may have had imaginary friends as a youngster. Their stuffed animals also were great companions. The Queen’s Knight will see the good in almost anyone or anything – but their depth of emotion can remain hidden even from themselves. Circumstances tend to reveal sudden responses.


Not all life is rosy and this Knight is not exempt from disappointment or frustration with humanity. They may feel incompetence when dealing with their own ethical values. Things aren’t simply white black, but a grand battle of Good versus Evil. Evil must be reckoned with but Good shall eventually win. It is not that they fight evil, but that they fight for the essence of moral good. Doing something good is quite satisfactory for them and indeed increases their happiness. It is when something is not reciprocated to them that they are saddened and disappointed by others. They learn that others aren’t as self-sacrificing.


The Queen's Knight is dominated by an inner world of intense feeling and deeply rooted ethics. They seek to form their life based on their views. They are highly curious of those around them so are readily accepting of others unless their values are being threatened. They promote insight and understanding amongst others and contribute well thought ideas. They however can be a bit too idealistic.

  1. I've read the results from several bloggers that I know in real life and have been amazed at the accuracy. I think yours is pretty darn spot-on!

    And Maggie can't possibly be getting married. Just yesterday she was a young teenager in pigtails for goodness sakes!

  2. Pigtails? Who's kid are you remembering? more like blacklipstick and nails, and don't forget the chains! She's all grown up now Dana (or so she thinks), sans black, mostly pretty sweet with a baby of her own. And, I like that part about bouncing back and forth from reality to fantasy...yup, I liked that part.
