I was reading one of the threads here in FFA in which pid wrote the following:

Myself, well, I see my roll, to some extent, is to challenge, but to also accept that others have differing beliefs and belief systems.

What's your roll?

Ok, I`ll go think about it!

Leave it to that quick Pisces and her Aqua moon to get there "superfast"!!!!!

Der, she's taking my attention away from detail, apparently.

I didn't even notice that you (and I) had written "roll" rather than "role". The kiddo was on my lap pummeling my chest into a pulp with her legs at the time, though...I was in a hurry to write that post.

Re: Meg, herself the elf: She's getting so much more responsive. I changed her into a onesie after changing her diaper earlier today, and when I dropped it on her saying, "Pink Baby!" she gave me a big, gummy grin; and last night we had her propped up on the arm of the couch (b/c she gets frustrated not being able to see everything). She whipped her head around, following all of my moves while Jase and I made dinner (into the kitchen, into the dining room, into the living room) and smiled as I'd come over and give her kisses and zerberts.

Here she is a few minutes ago:

(Yes, she's sleeping on her belly. She was playing on her belly but got bored with that...which has allowed me to venture into the office and post. I'm checking on her compulsively every few minutes.)

Aaand now we're off to take a walk up to the Post Library to return a CD that I'd borrowed.

Keep thinking of your answers, people!
Pid already has a head start on you with her quote about her "roll".

I like what Bernadette Peters said, best:

Why try to be like somebody else? Who would they get to play YOU?

Proxie, my elves BOTH slept on their stomachs, despite my very best efforts. If that's how she wants to sleep, don't panic. Besides, if she's already turning her head, it's less of an issue anyway.

Love & (clean) Onsies.

Do you see yourself as the peacemaker, the student, the warrior, the defender, the enlightened one..etc.. Are you someone that feels a sense of duty to help those in need of love advice, general astro advice, alternative education..etc..

As I stated earlier, I feel the need to challenge, to find the answers to "provoke" while still "learning".

If someone posts something to do directly or indirectly about certain venues, especially science, well that compels me to answer, to reinforce or to dispute.

I think my role has to do with helping people peel back the layers of their own personality 'onion', thus helping them to grow into thems-Elves. I do this mainly through astrology, as it can really hit people on a profound level. Astrology is great for this, because people can gain wonderful insights about themselves through it, and all the credit goes to the science of Astrology, so they don't have to feel intimidated by me, I'm just the messenger.

I love to play a part in helping people to shine, and be the best they can be. Whethor they're aware of my part in it or not...it don't make no nevermind to me. I, like the Blues Brothers, am "on a mission from God". LOL...

What a sweet baby!!!!!

OK on to me.

My roll is to be the friend who understands.

I always...understand...it took along time for me to learn that just because you understand why people do what they do it doesn't mean you have to condone it...and just because someone causes you harm and you forgive them it doesn't mean that you have to let them miss treat you again...

I only wish I had an answer for you myself. I have no idea what my role is; so far in lfe I feel like so much flotsam and jetsam.

posted June 08, 2004 07:05 PM         

My role is me. Sometimes that's Mom-mom, or wife, or friend, etc.

But I'm trying to make sure I always like, and recognize the crab peeking back at me in the mirror.

Whatever else I'm called to be, I just try to flow with. Sometimes successfully.

But if I'm not true TO me, I can't me Truly Me!

My roll? Make it stone-ground whole wheat, with garlic, warmed in the oven and dipped in olive oil.

My role? To eat the above.

I don't know if I have a role. But if I do think about what my role might be, I think it's to enjoy the world around me as much as possible and to enable other people to enjoy it as much.

When I was a child, my role was Peacemaker. That was because I lived with a bunch of over-excited, hard-drinking adults who spent the majority of their time fighting and doing a variety of mean things to each other. I was the only "child" in the group, but almost constantly felt I was the only real adult.

I would have to say my roll is very often the same as pidaua's.
One of the few knowflakes I consistently bump heads with and yet am soo similar to in other ways. lol
