I do have a picture, but...err...no webspace provider.

Photobucket?

Or if you want, send it to me by email and I'll host it on my webspace. (Or just send it to me by email so I can see it :D)

as you know, charismitaine knighted me.

I was not aware of that.

I'd seen the "Lady Knight" in your displayed name but had not attached any significance to it (or rather, about as much as to "Queen of Not-Much").

I'll send it to you.

Technically "Lady Knight" has basically as little significance as "Queen of Not-Much," in that it allows me to play-act with my friends on occasion and is not a recognized title of any countries legally existing in a geographical space on this earth. But being a lady knight is...well, more to me, I guess. Because there is a philosophy that governs knightly actions that isn't present (or isn't as clearly present) in queenly ones. Queens are just, y'know, supposed to be good rulers, and they sorta have to guess about that. But as a knight, it's my job to 1)love God, 2)be loyal to my allegiances, and 3)protect and aid anyone who needs it. It's also my job to keep my heart and mind and honor clean. (Sounds rather like Boy Scouting and Girl Scouting, come to think of it.)

But anyway, funny as it is, putting "be a good person" in terms of being a good knight just works for me. And because I hold importance to my knighthood and, through it, my integrity as a human and a child of God, it's definitely got more significance than the tongue-in-cheek "Queen of Not-Much."
