Not exactly shocked, here.

Which of Henry VIII's wives are you?
this quiz was made by Lori Fury

I love the description that came with the graphic:

Congratulations! You are Katherine Parr.

Katherine Parr spent nearly her whole life married to crotchety old men: Henry was the THIRD old fart she was forced to marry. Is it any wonder she turned to books and religion to occupy her time?

Katherine wasn't just smart, she was a tiny bit uppity, too: she almost got herself thrown in jail for arguing with His Royal Fatness about some theological issues. After Henry croaked, Katherine dropped the prim and proper act and married Thomas Seymour, a handsome, dashing pirate kind of guy who was also as dumb as a post.

Which goes to show you that even bookworms know how to get it on.

World Cup

Conversation with the twin, following her post about Australia's victory over Japan:

author1976: *just doesn't get World Cup excitement*
Rose Aida: I don't either.
Rose Aida: But I was happy for Australia
author1976: even you're more excited than I would be
Rose Aida: it's hard to ignore when I'm terribly competitive though
author1976: *nods*
author1976: I'm not, really
Rose Aida: and I do love my new country
author1976: well, that's important
author1976: ...does America even have a World Cup team?
Rose Aida: yeah
author1976: shows how much I know
