Gakked and Gakked and Gakked Again

This is a problem with LJ: there is an illusion of intimacy, but in actuality we may know nothing about each other. This meme might help. If you like, ask me something (more than question if that is what comes to mind) you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

You may also post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

You have a great deal of outward calm, and an ability to make others feel calm in your presence.

Does that outward calm reflect inner calm? Or does it sometimes mask inner chaos/storm?

Wow, A Complex Question!

The real answer is, well, both. Thank you for the complement.

I am generally calm and I am calm because I know that there is nothing that can happen that will make me "lose it", to coin a phrase. And most itmes, especially in RS I am calm inside as well.

When I am masking inner chaos or a storm, I appear calm because I am alert.

I once quipped to a friend when I learned that she was a Peace Corps volunteer, that I was in the Peace Corps when I was in Vietnam. When we left some village, it was peaceful.

BTW, I have great respect for Peace Corps volunteers. I wish I had the courage to volunteer back then.
