Do you ever wonder about what attracts you and why? I personally have a rather schizophrenic combination of attractions and luckily even the oddness of my pairings is one of the things I'm attracted to. I love pairing things that don't "belong" and seeing what happens!My parents are both Mennonites and we come from a stream of inter-marrying Mennonites heading back to the 14th century when Menno Simons formed the group. My great-Grandma spent all of her early life moving around Russia and even deeper into the East in a wagon train - trying to find a place where the community could settle and practice Pacifism. Promises from leaders like Catherine the Great allowed temporary settlements where - in exchange for civil services like dike building - my ancestors did not have to fight in wars. Those promises were eventually always broken and finally my great-Grandma ended up in Canada where eventually my Grandma and my Mom were born.
