You often resist any cravings or urges that you have, but sometimes you give in, however you experience panic, confusion, and helplessness when under pressure or stress. You tend not to talk much and prefer to let others control the activities of groups. You tend not to express your emotions openly and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You do not like to claim that you are better than other people, and generally shy from talking yourself up, however you believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary. You are guarded in new relationships and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You find contracts, rules, and regulations overly confining and are sometimes seen as unreliable or even irresponsible by others.

All my friends let the internet psychoanalyse them...



You Are An INFP



The Idealist



You are creative with a great imagination, 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.

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

What's Your Personality Type?

Memeing again
First Meme has been going around for a while.


IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, Here's How It Works:
1. Open Your Music Library.
2. Put It On Shuffle.
3. Press Play.
4. For Every Question Write Down The Song And The Band.
5. When You Go To A New Question, Change Songs.
6. Don't Lie, And Try And Be Cool.


Opening Credits: Scissor Sisters - Take youe Mama out.
Well... That certainly sets a tone O_o

Waking Up: The Stranglers - Waltzin' Black
WTF??? What am I, some sort of vampire goblin queen? Althugh... if that's my waking up theme... that's kinda really cool ^^

First Day At School: Nightwish - Dead Gardens
My first day of school, while it has a thumping track, seems to have a decidedly morbid overtone, given this is a song about endings and despair.

Falling In Love: Nick Cave and the Badseeds - Faraway So Close
That is a damn sad song to have for a falling in love song. I guess my path of love ran rough. Like... REALLY rough.

Fight Song: Joan Osborne - St Teresa
Okay, not the WORST fight song ever, but certainly trippy.

Breaking Up: Dolly Parton - Jolene
I LOSE TO ANOTHER WOMAN!

Prom: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Long Time Man
O_o Wow. Uh... My prom was a kind of scary morbid place.

Sex: Mr Mister - Broken Wings
MY SEX IS SO 80'S! And probably kinda heartbreaking, looking at my lovelife displayed in song XP

Life: Cardigans - My Favourite Game
That's kinda awesome. At least it's thumping.

Mental Breakdown: Castelvania - Dance of the Pales
I BREAK DOWN IN A WALTZ! Which, given I wake up to a waltz, is kind of apropriate. How very me to break down to video game music XD I guess I go insane and start dancing.

Drugs: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Up Jumped the Devil
YES! So perfect. Ooo, Dangerous XD

Driving: Nena - 99 Luft balloons
Well, it's got a beat. I could drive to that. If I could drive.

Flashback: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - From Her to Eternity
... Is my life a horror story, by any chance? This flashback would have to be pretty damn terrifying.

Getting Back Together: Bryan Ferry - It's all over now Baby Blue
... My getting back together song is a song of ending and getting on with life? Sounds more like a leaving song. Maybe we're all crazy here XD

Wedding: Cowboy Mouth - Red Blooded All American Man
XD MY WEDDING SONG IS A BDSM SONG! Okay, not quite. But still, my wedding song is very angry. And upbeat. Methinks it's a hell of a wedding.

Honeymoon: Killing Heidi - I Am
... Was I perhaps not present for my honeymoon? Oo, maybe it wasn't even my wedding! Either way, looks like the honey moon continues the wedding on XD

Birth of Child: Lacuna Coil - Swamped
I have a metal baby. I am starting to believe this is indeed a horror flick. But maybe I'm a little better? - "It's just another day; The shame is gone; Hard to believe; That I've let it go"

Wife/Husband death: Voltaire - Goodnight Dragonslayer
I sing a lullaby to my son upon my Husband's death? It seems to fit at least.

Final Battle: Voltaire - Alchemy Monday
... My final battle is jaunty, completely on crack, and sounds like a TV theme. Have I snapped?

Attempted suicide: Nightwish - Lappi - Etiainen
Makes sense. Sad, no lyrics... perfect.

Death Scene: Warren Zevon - Lawers Guns and Money
Seems my actual death is a rather ammusing and overblown scenario XD Possibly involving the mafia.

Funeral: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - And no more shall we part
Okay, this sounds sad, but... it's a song about getting married. Well, since my husband is dead, maybe it's appropriate.

End Credits: Jeff Buckley - Grace
What an excellent way to end what has been a completely disturbing film adaption of my life.


And now... Fun with Wikipedia!


1. Go to Wikipedia
2. Click on Random Article (It's on the side)
3. The title of the first article is the name of your band.
4. Click random again. This is you Album title.

The Elephant Rhyme
It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind

The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
“God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!”


The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, “Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me ’tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!”


The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
“I see,” quoth he, “the Elephant
Is very like a snake!”


The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
“What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain,” quoth he;
“ ‘Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!”


The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: “E’en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!”


The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
“I see,” quoth he, “the Elephant
Is very like a rope!”


And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!


So oft in theologic wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!!

Everybody now!
Have you ever looked at your hands and thought 'How the hell can they be mine?' They seem somewhat... separated from you or your concept of who you are. You see them every day, staring down at them as they type, seeing them reach across for a biscuit o a drink, seen them unlock doors or open your wallet, but still... sometimes you look at them and think 'Wait... These can't be my hands!'

I've often thought my hands looked far too small. I know they're not - I've measured them against other people's hands, and they don't alter their size, so I know them to be a perfectly average sized pair of hands. But seeing them stuck on the end of my arms like they are, drifting slightly at the join where they seemingly attatch to the long, thin part of my arm that extends upwards ffrom my wrist, they look somehow out-of-place. Almost alien. The colour and texture is aged beyond the rest of my body - they do more, are exposed to the sun more, get less care - making them appear diferent in tone and texture to the rest of my body.

Of course, my hands cary all the familiar little markings - a series of small scars around the knuckle of my left index finger, freckles above my right wrist, all the things that indicate that yess indeed, this is your hand you're looking at. That and there is a sense of controll over them and thier actions. It's all so subconcious - barely a thought goes into it as they flicker over the keyboard they've worked at every day, push a needle though cloth as they sew on another button without stabbing yourself with the needle.

But sometimes there's that moment of disassociation, where although they behave and obey your commands, for a moment they don't seem to belong to you. They're external, something you can controll to a degree, but which seems outside of your own sphere of self.

And sometimes, they're just hands.

It might be a Parasite?
It seems that I have reached that certain point in my life - The point where every illness short of a head cold, however harmless, could potentially be pregnancy in the eyes of those around me – particularly women.

I personally know that pregnancy is a rather unlikely cause for any sickness I may experience. However, upon informing family that I, for example, don’t feel too well, the question inevitably comes up.

“Could you be pregnant?”

Well… yes, anatomically speaking, it is physically possible. However, there is generally pretty strong evidence to the contrary. And so, my answer is always an unequivocal ‘No, absolutely not. Think harder.’

An example – I frequently wake up feeling quite nauseous. Or become nauseous early in the day. Don’t know why it just happens. There was a while where I was nauseous after breakfast, regular as heck. Of course, the first question is ‘Are you Pregnant’. Perfectly logical, given the circumstances and with no other outside knowledge. However, this was most assuredly not the case.

My mother is onto this boat though, well and truly. Upon insisting that it wasn’t pregnancy, she responded with ‘Are you sure? Because the pill can fail…’ Well yes, I’m aware of that. That’s why I have Second cousins. If I was saying no based solely on the fact I’m having the pill, then there would be cause for concern. It was, in this case, a matter of timing which explained my surety. But enough of that.

The interesting point occurred when, rather then any illness being a potential pregnancy, any and all changes in weight became a potential pregnancy. My weight has always fluctuated somewhat – it’s generally in the same area, but it’s hardly a constant thing that I keep monitoring. So long as my clothes still fit, I don’t particularly care.

So now, all alterations in physicality are to be questioned. Eventually, I’m going to get sick of answering.

Oh so perfect.
Your Love Life is Like The Princess Bride

"Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind."

For you, love is like a fairy tale - albeit a fairly twisted one.
You believe romance is all about loyalty, fate, and a good big of goofy fun.

Your love style: Idealistic yet quirky

Your Hollywood Ending Will Be: Perfectly romantic
What Movie Is Your Love Life Like?

You, my darling, are very glossy.
Excuse me while I try to trick this program into thinking I know what I'm doing.

Now excuse me while I shake it into understanding that I am the unrivaled master, as my puny human brain wars against it's mechanical deviousness.

That is all.
