Heroes
Your Life Path Number is 9
Your purpose in life is to make the world better
You are very socially conscious and a total idealist.
You think there are many things wrong with the world, and you want to fix them.
You have a big idea of how to world could be, and you'll sacrifice almost anything to work towards this dream.
In love, you can easily see the beauty in someone else. And you never cling too tightly.
You are capable of great love, but it's hard for you to focus your love on one person or relationship.
You have a lot of outward focus, and you tend to blame the world for your failures.
You are often disappointed by the realities of life - it's hard for you to accept the shortcomings of the world.

About me: I am a recovering art historian, and I play Irish traditional music on the pennywhistle in sessions around Southern California. I write songs and have been recording them recently. I put a couple of songs up at my music page so go have a listen! I also write for Scram! (The Magazine For Unpopular Culture)www.scrammagazine.com and FolkWorks www.folkworks.org (The Source For Folk Arts, Music and Dance in the Greater L.A. Region).
I'm also participating in NaNoWriMo this year! travel layout @ HOTFreeLayouts.comMyHotComments
You scored as Mermaid. Mermaid: Mermaids are also known as Sirens. These creatures were beautiful women who tricked sailors into becoming completely entranced by their haunting voices and found death soon after. Not all stories of Mermaids are about gentle loving sea people. They are mystical, magical, and extremely dangerous. They have a way about them that brings anyone they are around to seem enchanted. They are very mysterious creatures and to meet one... Would mean certain Death. Let the song of the Sea fill your soul, for you are a Mermaid.
