What's Your Personality Type? (Stolen from [info]luckykaa.)  
You Are An INFP
The Idealist

You are a creative person with a great imagination. You enjoy living in your own inner world.
Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships.
It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close to you.
But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.

In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards.
You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.

At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values.
You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.

How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak


Pretty fair, though I'd be interested to find someone who thinks I'm weak ...

I'm not sure about the dog. Chinchilla, maybe ... The rest of it is surprisingly accurate.


Your result for The Golden Compass Daemon Test...

The Honest Soul.

You are a talkative, open kind of person. You wear your heart on your sleeve, and you trust people not to break it. In a way, you are as honest and trusting as a child. You are comfortable with who you are and have a strong sense of self, but you are also a little sensitive. Hurtful remarks, especially from people whose opinion you value, have the power to wound you terribly.


You tend to be open about your thoughts and opinions, and you find it difficult to hide your emotions from people. You like to share your thoughts, opinions, and emotions with people, and to hear theirs in return. When someone disagrees with you or offends you, you will take them up on it, whether they are friends or strangers. You don't mind a friendly debate, but become upset when things get hostile. You wish that people wouldn't take everything so personally, but simply think calmly about things.


You have a close knit group of friends and family for whom you would sacrifice almost anything. You don't like big parties full of strangers - you would rather spend your time with the people whom you really care about. You need a private spot where you can retreat when the world gets to be too much, but you want to be able to emerge from your "den" and find your loved ones there to heap love and affection upon you.


Your daemon would represent your loving, open nature, and he or she would probably spend a lot of time encouraging you to be independent and to do the right thing.


Suggested forms: Dog, Otter, Marmoset, Saw-Whet Owl, Songbird, Chinchilla.

Pick a word that begins with the first letter of your first name.
Lovebird

Your ex shows up randomly at your house, what do you say?
Depends which one. But I think "Gosh, hello, I didn't expect to see you here" would cover most bases.

How long is your hair when it's wet?
83cm. I can tuck it into my waistband. (Although I don't. Because that would be weird.)

How many times have you been to the ER?
On my behalf - twice as a child (gash to the head, broken arm - the usual perils) and three or four times as an adult, when I had my car crash and the fun aftermath that followed.

Do you drink soda?
PASSION FRUIT RUBICON.

Marriage in your future?
Well, I hope so, given current circumstances ...

Do you like your life?
I'm very lucky and I appreciate that hugely.

Do you have trust issues?
Yes.

How has this past week been for you?
Absolutely frightful.

Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?
I find it comforting to try to think so when things are frightful.

Do tattoos and piercings excite you?
I guess.

I'll bet you're missing someone right now?
You know, it's funny - I've kind of got used to seeing Littlebrother every week and I'm probably not going to see him for nearly a month. Also I miss my folks, 'cause I've not seen them for a little while.

Do you believe that all girls/guys are the same?
Surely no one is silly enough to think that.

If you were to die today would your life be complete?
No. Of course not.

Do you hate the last guy you were talking to?
It sounds like you have guy issues.

What are you listening to?
Ted tapping on his laptop. We're as bad as each other these days. Pretty soon, AIM will replace actual conversation. ♥

Will you be in a relationship 4 months from now?
I hope so.

Have you ever seen one of your best friends cry?
Yes, of course. (I didn't do it.) I hope I'm a good listener.

When did you last hold hands with someone?
Just now?

Have you ever had a crush on your sibling's friend?
Eww, no.

What time did you wake up this morning?
5 a.m. Hoorah for early morning waking.

When was the last time you were really sick?
*Really* sick? I guess last February. If you mean close to death, not since I was 17.

What is in your back pocket?
Oyster card

If someone liked you right now, would you want them to tell you?
That sounds rather complicated. I guess it would depend who.

Do you get along better with guys or girls?
I love both flavours: I tend to hang out with boys more, but would always cast my vote for girl power.

Do you have a friend of the opposite sex you can talk to?
Yes, several. They are all fine men.

Myspace or Facebook?
Facebook, though I listen to music on MySpace.

Do you know someone who likes you?
I jolly well hope they like me or there'll be trouble.

What would you rather be doing?
Sleeping, I guess.

Were you smiling when you woke up this morning?
First time no; second time yes.

Do you have a wild side?
I would hope everyone does.

What's your middle name?
Right now, it's "Bitch", I expect.

What is your current mood?
Stressed, sleepy, proud of Ted

What's your mom's name?
Mommy

What color shirt are you wearing?
A black one.

Would you kiss the last person you kissed?
Eep, yes.

Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...

Simple, Progressive, and Sensual

20 Ukiyo-e, 11 Islamic, 6 Impressionist, -22 Cubist, -20 Abstract and 8 Renaissance!



Ukiyo-e (浮世絵, Ukiyo-e), "pictures of the floating world", is a genre of Japaneseand paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries.  it mostly featured landscapes, historic tales, theatre, and pleasure.  Ukiyo is a rather impetuous urban culture that has bloomed in popularity.  Although the Japanese were more strict and had many prohibitions it did not affect the rising merchant class and therefore became a floating art form that did not bind itself to the normal ideals of society.

People that chose Ukiyo-e art tend to be more simplistic yet elegant.  They don't care much about new style but are comfortable in creating their own. They like the idea of living for the moment and enjoy giving and receiving pleasure.  They may be more agreeable than other people and do not like to argue.  They do not mind following traditions but are not afraid to move forward to experience other ideas in life.  They tend to enjoy nature and the outdoors.  They do not mind being more adventurous in their sexual experiences.  They enjoy being popular and like being noticed.  They have their own unique style of dress and of presenting themselves. They may also tend to be more business oriented or at the very least interested in money making adventures.  They might make good entrepreneurs. They are progressive and adaptable.

LONGEST FEMALE SURVEY EVER )

And another, stolen from [info]gemfyre. More banality here. )

And finally, stolen from [info]very_true_thing, a music quiz:

The Music Intelligence Quiz


Your final score was 123/180

Mix-Tape Master (109-144 points)
You are a music evangelist: the person in your network of friends who always has the coolest new song, the one whose iPod gets picked to DJ every party. You understand the art of the segue, how the key to the best mix-tape isn't just the songs you pick, but how they interlock with each other. You also know who the up-and-coming acts are and are quick to recognise where their influences lie and whether they will make it big. You work hard at the pursuit of this knowledge, scouring music blogs, magazines and record stores. Most importantly, you are generous with your passion – and your friends should be very, very grateful. Still, it’s always good to get new inspiration for your latest mix.

And I promise I didn't cheat. ^_^



You Are a Semi-Colon



You are elegant, understated, and subtle in your communication.

You're very smart (and you know it), but you don't often showcase your brilliance.



Instead, you carefully construct your arguments, ideas, and theories until they are bulletproof.

You see your words as an expression of yourself, and you are careful not to waste them.



You friends see you as enlightened, logical, and shrewd.

(But what you're saying often goes right over their heads.)



You excel in: The Arts



You get along best with: The Colon



(I have lots to tell you about a swim-related trip, but I'm feeling really manky so will save that for another day.)

I am Marianne Dashwood!


Take the Quiz here!



You Are...Marianne Dashwood!

You are Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a bit too brutally honest. You enjoy romantic poetry and novels, and play the pianoforte beautifully. To boot, your singing voice is captivating. You feel deeply, and love passionately.

My top 10 My Little Ponies, as requested by [info]very_true_thing:

1. Moondancer
I think there's something really elegant and timeless about Moondancer. The white body, the red and purple hair, the astral symbol - it's all good.

2. Moonstone
When I had my first MLPs, I thought, "The only way these could be better is if there were UNICORNS! And PEGASI!" And lo, not just any old unicorns and pegasi appeared, but ones with RAINBOW.HAIR. Let us not forget that sometimes, Hasbro is very, very good to us.

3. Milky Way (White stars)
When I joined the MLPTP, the nicks Moondancer and Moonstone were taken, so I went for another astral unicorn - the UK version of Milky Way. She's pink, pretty and slightly less glitzy than her American, silver-starred cousin. I've met many wonderful people as a result of the MLPTP, and will always hold a deep fondness for this pony as a result. (Also, her pose is a bit of a show-off, princess-type pose. Stop laughing at the back.)

4. Bow Tie
Do you remember the first time? I still remember how itchy I was at school that afternoon in 1984, knowing that at 3:40pm we'd be heading to Tesco Home 'n' Wear (remember?) to pick her up.

5. Argentina Bride Pony
I swear I didn't know the ponies would reappear and take over so much. <.< When they did, I wasn't sure how Ted would take it. As it turns out, he's not fussed, but I was very taken aback (and knew I'd picked the right one) when he surprised me with the beautiful Argentina Bride as an engagement present. *sniff* Yes, there was a big squeaky squealy sound and he was then smothered in kissies.

6. Peachy
My second pony. I have a real love for Peachy, and not just because of the filthy innuendos that [info]felicita and [info]rainbowmagicuk make about her. Yes, she's common; yes, she's usually in rotten condition. That's because so many 80s kids like me loved her to pieces. Collector pose, pastel 80s colours, pink hair, simple symbol - what a classic!

7. Lemondrop
The thing I adore about Lemondrop is how many different versions of her there are! By my reckoning, there are more Lemondrops than any other pony. (Please feel free to correct me.) She comes with thick hair, thin hair, 13 drops, 14 drops, different colours, different poses - it's intriguing and slightly scary. I love my Lemondrop brigade; I hope they remember this when they take over the Earth.

8. Macau Blosscotch
I have a thing for rare collector ponies, and Blosscotch is one of the prettiest I've come across. It took me ages to track her down on ebay. The purple hair/pink body/bees symbol is such a perfect mix. I love foreigns 'cause they're unusual, but Blosscotch is really beautiful, too.

9. Dutch Diary Pony
My favourite ponies tend to be blue or pink, and I'm a writer, so Dutch Diary Pony is a natural fit for me :) She's soooooo blue - far bluer than any other pony - that she practically glows. (Plus, I'm not crazy about Bright Eyes's orange hair.)

10. Fuschia pink Italian Blossom with dark purple hair
She's the most expensive pony in my collection, but more importantly, she came from [info]miss_wol's collection. Miss Wol always collected the most minty-fresh Italians, and the rarest, and while she was around, she was a great friend and very good fun. I miss her, but I will always remember our friendship gladly when I look at Italian Blossom.

([info]very_true_thing, if you actually read all of this drivel, I will be surprised and impressed.)

Pinched from [info]guiliaine. Just quote some Shakespeare.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

- The Tempest
