You are awesome. LOL

My description was very accurate...in general I have a fairly extroverted personality, I don't tend to be shy at all and I enjoy the company of others. However, in spiritual terms, I am the exact opposite. I do not enjoy corporate prayer as much as I should, because I am easily irritated by things like people saying the rosary like they are trying to set the land speed record . I would much prefer to spend time in contemplative prayer alone, and my spiritual sense is much more intuitive as far as my perception. To me, my prayer life has been much more fruitful when I have a lot of alone time. It should not be predicated on that, but for me, silence and solitude is almost necessary. My ideal day is one that I could spend in front of the Blessed Sacrament alone in prayer. I can stay like that, literally, all day.

Mystic! Though I'm super confused that it's comparing me to Enya.

I guess I am a prophet? This test annoyed me, the best part of a church service for me is the Eucharist, I do not identify with any peanuts charachter as I know the difference between reality and fiction but I always liked Chuck, I would think I would most likely befriend peppermint patty, as she seems more to my liking, she was sensible, seen through most situations, approachable and tough.

You are a Mystic, known for your imaginative, intuitive spirituality. You value peace, harmony, and inner silence. Mystics are nurtured by walking alone in the woods or sitting quietly with a trusted friend. You may also enjoy poetry, meditation, wordless prayer, candles, art, books, and anything else that helps you connect with God.

Mystics experience God best through rich images and symbols. You are contemplative, introspective, intuitive, and focused on an inner world as real to you as the exterior one. Hearing from God is more important to you than speaking to God. Others may attribute human characteristics to God, but you see God as ineffable, unnamable, and more vast than any known category. You are intrigued by God's mystery.

Mystics want to inspire and persuade others, and need to live lives of significance. At times you push the envelope of spirituality, helping the rest of us imagine who we might become if we followed your lead.

Sometimes you may feel a bit guilty about your need for solitude and silence. If so, you probably have bought into the American myth that says being alone and doing nothing is lazy, antisocial, and unproductive. Stop it -- now. Give yourself permission to retreat and be alone. It's essential for your well-being.

On the other hand, don't get so carried away retreating that you become a recluse. That only deprives the world of your gifts and deprives you of the lessons that come from being with others. Some Mystics may have a true vocation for solitary prayer, but the rest of you need to alternate retreat time with involvement and interaction.

Yeah, I was disappointed that they didn't list Eucharist as one of the best parts of Mass. (I mean, THE Best part, really!) But then again, I just think it was a fun little quiz -- nothing to take too seriously.

Perhaps they should have included more Peanuts characters?

Peppermint Patty was my favorite Peanuts girl character.

And overall, Schroeder was my favorite character.

This irritates me too. Actually I could have written all of this about myself.
