I still don't get what is going on. Why are you doing this?

It's fun? (never heard of fun before general? Or he's bored, or in an altered state, or...something)

I'm thinking as in Zelda etc - you'll be too young to understand.

Master more may than gaze, ' gaze out of countenance.
Those lovely lads once, wet-fresh ' windfalls of war's storm,
How then should Gregory, a father, ' have gleanèd else from swarm-

To man, that needs would worship ' block or barren stone,
Our law says: Love what are ' love's worthiest, were all known;
World's loveliest -- men's selves. Self ' flashes off frame and face.
What do then? how meet beauty? ' Merely meet it; own,
Home at heart, heaven's sweet gift; ' then leave, let that alone.
Yea, wish that though, wish all, ' God's better beauty, grace.

Thank you! I love it!

Are you making it up or are you getting it from somewhere? Why am I Ishmael? His name is General!

the pleasure is all ours, Grace....

Ishmael יִשְׁמָעֵאל "God hears or obeys"

Herman Melville wrote:Moby-Dick. The novel starts with one of the best-known opening sentences in all of English literature:

"Call me Ishmael".

Queequeg the harpooner is a "savage" cannibal from a fictional island in the south seas. The son of the chief of his tribe, he befriends Ishmael in Nantucket before they leave port. Queequeg is a skilled harpooner on Starbuck's boat. His behaviour is both civilized and savage.

Esmer, could you explain why you chose Queen of Heaven and Little lamb, an ewe, one with purity for me please? I'm honored, but am not sure I understand why you chose them.

Oh, I know Zelda, I just didn't know many characters in it.

Thanks, VS, Esmer.

well, in your case, as I did not have much deeply personal interactions with you, I had to "fling you to chance" and see what came up....under the impression that you are Jewish, I pointed google there, and "malkat hashamayim" stood out most predominantly, soooooo, following the "auspices of the spirit"

, I chose that....the other predominantly obvious "random" choice, was that the name Rachel showed up almost too consistently. no personal information, if I even had any,

was used in this process, as is the case with the majority of these.....

now, to satisfy my curiosity, did it have some meaning for you? were you touched in any way, or surprised?

Es, how many winking emoticons can you get in to a single post?
