Do you hide the Shortbread when company is around?
Do you place the Enya CD's well out of guest's easy sight?
Does your name have a Mc, Mac, or an O' in it? If not, do you have the
shameful wish that it did?
In short- are you a CLOSET CELTOPHILE?
Don't be ashamed..many of us are, and scientific studies have shown that it
is acttually NORMAL for people to want to kiss the Blarney Stone.
So, tell us about it, get it off your chest- what Celtic perversity are YOU
into?

I play my Enya CDs all the time, a piece of my jewelry could be considered
either Volsung or Celtic since the historical accuracy is similar.
Hide Shortbread? NEVER. I love to stay out in Thunderstorms just to get
soaked by the rainwater.

I confess...I bought a Celtic table runner and pin on flight layover in
Shannon Ireland while jetting from the Ukraine one year. And it cost me more
money than I had spent the whole summer in Ukraine...*blushes deeply*

<robh suspects brighn of having a pot of gold somewhere, and starts

Well, my name is Henderson, but that's the English form of the
original MacEnruig, which also became "MacKendrick" in modern Scotland.
Does that count as changing my name?

I am most certainly not a closet Celt. I have every Enya cd, look so Irish
that it's dispecable, can't wait 'til graduation so I can backpack around
Ireland on a teacher's salary (hah!), and drive everyone at work crazy by
wishing them a happy solstice/equinox. <big eg>

Frustrating; you have to deal with people whose preconceptions of your
beliefs come from bad Llewellyn books, who confuse your culture with a
basketball team, who think you're on the same bandwagon they've just hopped
up on when actually, you wish they'd get the hell off. Other than that, fun.
Hi Anne! Don't hear from you often enough. How's life? Pass on a hug for
me to the rest of your household.

Larry Bird as an avatar of Bile'-- the world tree, tall and dark, reaching
the heavens with big, strong roots, a god of sudden death and soaring
heights? Naaaah, it's a bit of a stretch. So, who's Larry Bird anyway?
I'm sure you'll rebound just fine from the shock, Brighn.

Tall and DARK???
<robh falls over, laughing convulsively>
(Since kami doesn't know, I'll mention, Larry Bird is very caucasian
and very blond.)

Oh. I like basketball, but I don't get to watch it on TV. After I finished
writing I sort of thought I might have goofed. Do you think I've got
Larry *Bird* confused with *Air* Jordan?

Kami had the best explanation of what it's like to be an open Celt. Those
