My pirate name is:


Mad William Kidd



Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Prancer

"Keep your hands down - don't respond to their insults and provocations. Remember not to use any of your fellow volunteers' first names." These were the instructions I was given this weekend before begining my first shift as a Planned Parenthood volunteer escort. During the coruse of the next few hours, I was called every name in the book. I was cursed at, threatened, and hated by hundreds of people.

It was the most rewarding experience of my life. More on this later - I'm exhausted.
