...for all the support and good wishes for my dad -- he's now out of the ICU and resting comfortably. (They will keep him for a week -- after all, he IS 84!)

My step-mom says that he is pink again...

Thanks to all my friends who are wishing me a happy birthday -- I intend to have a good one!

Now I get to find out whether it's more fun to be Queen or Crown Princess at Pennsic.

And we get to be crowned in Oertha.

I'm not sure how I got to deserve this much fun...

and your inner dragon is a ....
Silver Dragon
In the war between good and evil, types take the side of the noble and good.
When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon is a risk taker and answers to no one.
As far as magical tendancies, Magical spells come as natural to the Silver Dragon as breathe from it's body.
During combat situations, a true Silver Dragon prefers to defeat opponents by the use of spells and other tactics.
Dragon Description:

A Silver Dragons time manipulation skills are unsurpassed and they are extremely skilled fighters as well. The participation of Silver Dragons is often a key role in deciding major conflicts.

They are covered in silver-colored scales, as their name suggests, but they are not mirror-like (more of a softer silver). They can change size at will, from the size of a small dog to huge. They go on all fours and can move fairly fast on land although they prefer to fly, often buzzing other dragons as a joke. Silver dragons tend to be solitary while they are young, roaming and learning the ropes, and acquire a partner later in life. This partner doesn't have to be another silver or even another dragon, but immortality is a must (silvers don't prescribe to the disposable mortal theory). A silver generally has no concept of territory or possession. They prefer to roam and occasionally settle down in a comfortable cave for a fifty-year nap.
