handsome, and rich. You are humble and cute in

"To Which Race of Middle Earth Do You Belong?"

This quiz has fairly limited results, but it's amusing.
It doesn't have a good representation of human cultures, only
offering Rohan and Numenor (which should refer either
to the Numenor of old or to the Rangers of the North)
while ignoring the culture of Gondor under the stewards, which
is quite different, or that of men in the north (Laketown, Bree,
etc). Elves are also given only one group (ignoring differences
between Mirkwood and Lothlorien). Other possible results are
Dwarves, Hobits and Ents.

You are The Batman, tall, dark and scary. You mean
well, but people don't always know what to

Interesting, But...

You Are 31 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
*
I had some objections to this quiz: notably, it assumes that you would lie or be otherwise untrustworthy in a few situations and doesn't offer you a different option. But it is rather interesting that I'm 22 and "act 31" according to this quiz. I must have skipped the tumultuous teens and the fun-loving twenties somehow.

"I'm WHO...?" (Harry Potter Myers-Briggs Based Personality Quiz)

...Thus ran the ever amusing responses of both Gabi (Snape) and Helen (Voldemort) to the Harry Potter Personality Quiz. Hey, the fact that you're abitious and brilliant doesn't necessarily mean... well, ok.
According to this, I'm Madam Hooch
(or alternatively Remus Lupin or
Hermione Granger). Who are you?

You Are: Jonathan Edwards (What Theologian Are You?)

This is pretty odd. I can't believe Calvin ended up with such
a high percentage-- especially compared to Luther. I
suppose it depends on what point in Luther's life you're
looking at. I don't know how I got the preaching thing.
And who is Karl Barth, anyway?


You scored as Jonathan Edwards. You're the original
hellfire-and brimstone preacher and you take God's
justice very seriously. You are passionate about
preaching and an accomplished theologian.

Which LOST Character Are You?

How does THIS work? I tend to identify with Sayid and Jin...
Kate
You scored 58% kindness, 50% courage, 52% seedy past, and 61% secretiveness!
"No girl's just like me."


You are Kate. You are caring, brave, stubborn, and persistent. You have a checkered past that haunts you. You have yet to tell anyone the truth about pretty much anything, which is certainly not healthy. If you think Jack will judge you harshly, go tell Sawyer or Sun. You're a tough cookie, but everyone has feelings. Start being more honest with the others, and you'll be right as rain.


My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 24% on kindness

Which Classic Leading Man Are You?

Humphrey Bogart
You scored 52% Tough, 4% Roguish, 38% Friendly, and 9% Charming!

You're the original man of honor, rough and tough but willing to stick your neck out when you need to, despite what you might say to the contrary. You're a complex character full of spit and vinegar, but with a soft heart and a tender streak that you try to hide. There's usually a complicated dame in the picture, someone who sees the real you behind all the tough talk and can dish it out as well as you can. You're not easy to get next to, but when you find the right partner, you're caring and loyal to a fault. A big fault. But you take it on the chin and move on, nursing your pain inside and maintaining your armor...until the next dame walks in. Or possibly the same dame, and of all the gin joints in all the world, it had to be yours. Co-stars include Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall, hot chicks with problems.

Carole Lombard
You scored 26% grit, 9% wit, 47% flair, and 33% class!
You're a little bit of a fruitcake, but you always act out in style. You have a good sense of humor, are game for almost anything, but you like to have nice things about you and are attracted to the high life. You're stylish and modern, but you've got a few rough edges that keep you from attaining true sophistication. Your leading men include William Powell, Fredric March, and Clark Gable. Watch out for small planes.

I'm not so sure about that...

You Should Learn Swedish


Fantastisk! You're laid back about learning a language - and about life in general.
Peaceful, beautiful Sweden is ideal for you... And you won't even have to speak perfect Swedish to get around!

How Machiavellian Are You?

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian


You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...
But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.
You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place.
You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!

Jane Austen Wrote Books

My results:
Colonel Brandon: Sensible...  yet Sexy
You are the true hero(ine)! Sensible, steady and
mature, you are the lynchpin of your circle of
friends and family.

Male: At your
best, you are a dynamo combination of Mr.
Knightley from Emma and Colonel Brandon
from Sense and Sensibility. At your
worst, you may be briefly beguiled by silly
women (cf. Edward Ferrars in
Sense and
Sensibility
and Captain Wentworth's
behavior toward Lousia Musgrove in
Persuasion), but in the end, you'll win
through and end up with the proper heroine.



Female: You are Elinor from
Sense and
Sensibility
! Wise beyond your years, you
are all too aware of the folly of those around
you. You are "sense" personified,
and without you, things would certainly fall
apart.

Woah...





You're The Things They Carried!

by Tim O'Brien

Harsh and bitter, you tell it like it is. This usually comes in short,
dramatic spurts of spilling your guts in various ways. You carry a heavy load, and this
has weighed you down with all the horrors that humanity has to offer. Having seen and
done a great deal that you aren't proud of, you have no choice but to walk forward,
trudging slowly through ongoing mud. In the next life, you will come back as a water
buffalo.

Surviving the Urban Jungle without the Proper Tools: a Girl who Dislikes Shopping

I've been inspired. (see an old post on Ben's live journal, for those of you who have it) Perhaps not in the healthiest of senses, but inspired nonetheless. To what, you ask? Why, to Rant (with a capital "R") on the dastardly business that is purchasing clothing. I. Detest. Shopping. What happened to the days when everyone owned oh, say three outfits, quite interchangeable with one another, at one time, along with their "Sunday Best?" The downside of having an affluent culture, I suppose, is the ever present expectation that everyone appear to be at least as affluent as they are (most often a step or two higher than they can afford).

It's not that I abhor any and every kind of shopping, I will make three exemptions:

1. Books. I am of the opinion that one can never really own too many different books, preferably if they are of the "Classic" and "Leatherbound," "Clothbound," or "Hardcover" variety.

2. Art supplies. There is nothing on earth quite like feeling the varied textures of light white paper sheaves in a stack at a respectable art store, or looking at the pure unbroken pages of a new, hardbound sketchbook, or gazing in delight at the enriched cascade of colors before you in a display of watercolors tubes. Don't even let me begin mentioning paint brushes, pastels, and steel nibbed artist's pens.

3. Music and DVD's. Long live Amazon.com, forever may it reign.

That said, I generally try to avoid clothes shopping when possible. A day of wandering through poorly lit, linoleum floored, crowded stores will almost without fail leave me tired and depressed. And sans whatever I was hoping to find.

It's likely my own fault. Besides being taller than the average American young woman, as my wise mother has observed I have "expensive taste." This translates to "I need longer pants, I like things that are classically styled and colored, and which consequently do not go out of fashion and are therefore not on the clearance racks with last summer's orange-pea green midriff baring tops." I also tend to have very little capital free to expend (poor college student syndrome). Thus when I find something that vaguely interests me, sticker shock quickly obliterates any rising hope of heading home soon. You would think a sense of taste would be a virtue. Only if you can afford to purchase accordingly, it seems. My mother tells me the only remedy is to marry someone who can afford such. I guess I'll have to be single and threadbare.

Thus it was that at the end of Christmas break I walked stiffly to the register of our local Kohl's with one pair of $35 slacks. I needed slacks. These were, apparently, the only pair of plain, respectable slacks in Marquette that would fit me (they came in "Long" sizes). They were also seemingly the only shelf of slacks in the whole kingdom of Kohl's that was not 70% off, but normal price.


They'd better last me a while.
