Given that you feel God has a personality and is 'involved' with the material world, I'm not sure you can label yourself as a Deist at all.
Sort of like someone saying, 'I'm 100% vegetarian, except for beef. And pork. And lamb.....'

Yeah, but the 'tofu' so to speak is that I believe that God is the Universe and is entirely part of and transcendent of it at the same time.
