Admiral, youre quite a character. I was wondering how to describe you and it came to me.... you're the classic... trixter!!

Trickster is much more than sly thieving, cunning tricks and funny jokes! He is a creator and a destroyer at least as much as he is a clown and a thief. He is also a liminal figure, something "betwixt and between." Trickster has a dual nature, being half animal and half divine. As Carl Jung writes, "He is both subhuman and superhuman, a bestial and divine being..." And these aren't even his fundamental attributes! According to Jung, Trickster's "chief and most alarming characteristic is his unconsciousness." He is not evil, but rather "does the most atrocious things from sheer unconsciousness and unrelatedness." Jung also sees in him "an approximation to the figure of a savior." The folklorist Stith Thompson called him not just "a creature of greed, lust, and stupidity," but also "a beneficent being, bringing culture and light to his people."

to a certain extent i would definitely say that you are going to be expected to be an ambassador from your home country. they will all be interested in the virtual tour guide of things that are well known and things you never thought could be thought of... Wink

unless you are lucky (unlucky?) enough to be from montana usa, like me... good luck finding anyone (including most non-north americans) who knows where it is! Smile

Ahh... Montana, I wouldn't say it was completely unknown, Frank Zappa definitely put it on the map...

As for ambassadoring (if there is such a word), it seems you are to some extent whether you like it or not... gonna need some positive things to say about England then...

I hold 3 passports and citizenships. How?

I was born in one European country (the country where my mother is from). But I initially was registered under the country where my father is from ( a different one from my mother). I therefore had two citizenships from the word go.

Later on in life I became an İmmigrant to a North American country and acquired citizenship there after 4 years residence. I now hold 3 Citizenships and passports, and would have the right to two more, because I have grandparents from two other countries....
