No, I did know, but ever had one of those nights when you're in autopilot? That was one of those nights.

And peh, you figured I was male :blush: Sucky sucky, I wanted to be female, meh, my parents screwed up that one (quite literally).

Aaaanyway.

Let's go for something nice and easy (Giggle), but I like the sketches of these things... (as well as the stories behind them), therefore, I choose... British (and Irish if you must) Mythological Gods and Godesses

For A... I select Arianrhod.

You've picked a difficult topic here Dustmite but we will not be beaten.
