I initially set out to create this little game to challenge those people who believe they have the gift of discernment, however as I was thinking about it, I realized just how often we all try to squeeze people into stereotypical boxes and life patterns, but how rarely people actually fit into them, so I thought this little game might be kinda fun. I've posted the first names of five people who I know quite well (their names have been changed, though, to protect their real life identities). After that, I've posted a number of different catagories of traits, interests and involvements. Your task is to match the correct names with all the correct traits to tell a brief true life story on each of these people. Once they're figured out correctly (some of them will surprise you), someone else can continue the game by posting a set of similar items for people they know.

Now, see if you can put the right stories together! You can try to tackle them one at a time, it'd probably be a lot easier that way, and I'll keep a running of post of which bits have been pieced correctly so far.

On a side note, Republican Wiccans are far more common than most non-pagans realize, so don't be afraid to check out that combination, folks. In fact, most neo-pagans I have known have been Republicans or Libertarians (split pretty evenly between the two, to be honest). One Wiccan I knew, in fact, actually stated about Clinton in 1994 that "if ever a president needed to be shot..." :nc:

What's right so far:

Kate: High-ranking medical professional, vow of chastity

JJ: Republican, hardcore heavy metal

Simon: everything luv1another posted except the doctoral thesis



And RightIdea has these combined correctly, but under the wrong person:

Wiccan, Green Party, hair metal and pop



And luv1another has these right, but under the wrong people:

atheist, modern and classic rock, artist/painter

wiccan, travels all over the USA

mormon, CPA, makes candles and incense
