=================================================

Location: Work.
Listening: "Why Should I Worry?" (from Oliver & Co.) by Billy Joel.

Stayed home this morning for an extra hour to so, just to spend some time with Peter. We talked for a bit about his ideas for future projects, post-TD, and he did a little more work on our coat of arms. I lounged on the sofa in work clothes, he sipped coffee, the sunlight was bursting in through the windows for the first time in a few weeks...very pleasant and relaxing. There has to be a way that I can sneak more time like that into my life on a regular basis. I think it's exactly what I need to pull out of this darkness I've been wandering around in.

When I finally arrived at work, I resolved to take it easy (because, frankly, the majority of other folks here do, so I'll give it a go), and have been interspersing my morning tasks with quizzes from here. Having resolved at the outset to take all of them, I only ended up taking the ones that didn't confuse my work computer (which rejects Java utterly on most occasions) and have posted my results below:

We begin with a quiz to answer the ever-nagging question: "Could I survive a horror film?". Considering that this is the sort of thing that keeps me (and, doubtless, Bushie) up at night, finding this quiz was nothing less than a godsend. Here is what I discovered:

Would you survive a horror movie? Find out @ She's Crafty

No psycho slayer is going to get between you and your right to life. You're an ass-kicker, a charge taker, and if need be, a monster masher. You're level-headed in sticky situations, you trust yout instincts, and you're not afraid to get a little dirty while getting the job done. Simply put, you rock! But don't get carried away. Even though your little brother might act like a creep sometimes, you definately shouldn't be driving stakes through his heart!

Excellent.

And, according to the next quiz, I'll apparently be looking tastefully stylish, but not overdone while kicking mad, phat serial killer ass:

What's Your Style? Find out @ She's Crafty

Trends? Forget it! You want to be a star because of your simple beauty and super-charming personality, not because of your wild style ways. Some may say that you're way too predictable, but you've stuck with the same stuff for years because you know that it makes you look pulled together and pretty. Don't be afraid to let loose, though, by trying out a slightly toned down trend now and then -you could have a blast mixing the old with the new.

For those of you who recall the "Which Buffy Girl Are You?" test that I took on Valentine's Day, you'll remember that I came out as Ms. Buff herself, the Slayer, the One, etc. Well, according to the "Who's Your Inner Buffy Bad Girl?" quiz, I am someone known as:

Who's Your Inner Buffy Bad-Girl? Find out @ She's Crafty

As I mentioned in the Valentine's Day post, I'm not at all a Buffy fan (I actually have a very low threshold for the show itself), so I don't know this woman from God's housecat. If anyone would care to enlighten me, please, feel free. "Wicked" seems about right, though. Seriously.

Not surprisingly, when it comes to figuring out which action star I most resemble, there is "no time for love, Dr. Jones" (pish--there's always time for love. Or is that Jell-O? Nevermind. Just throw me the idol and get your ass in the puddin'):

I think it was the fedora, the ancient languages, and the desire to rescue artifacts from profiteers that gave me away. I, unlike Dr. Jones, love snakes; but I hate Nazis. It's ironic, really.

On to another burning question: which character from the early 90's teen angst-drama "My So-Called Life" am I? The seemingly very cliched answer is:

Which My So-Called Life Character Are You? Find out @ She's Crafty

I've noticed that I keep coming out as the main character in these little TV show quizzes. I have no idea what, if any, significance that has. While I'm studying this picture--has anyone else ever wondered what happened to the cleft in Claire Danes' chin? It sort of disappeared around Romeo & Juliet and has not really been seen since...

My results on the "Who's Your Inner Music Industry Diva?" surprised me somewhat, but my crunchy side is apparently a little more obvious than I thought:

Who's Your Inner Music Industry Diva? Find out @ She's Crafty

See, I like Jewel. I've liked the majority of what she's done musically from "Pieces of You" on, I think she has one of the purest and most flexible voices in modern pop, and I've always thought that she sounded like good people. In the six degrees realm, I have a very close friend who's had a massive crush on her since her family would perform every year at his high school in Homer in the 80's. Very small world, really.

And finally, to round out this orgy of self-discovery, I am apparently not to be trusted with broadcasting equipment:

Hee. Now I know that all I need to develop a cult following is a shortwave and a bunch of really bored yuppie's kids. Yes. Come to me, my Gap-clad minions. We shall frisk in the moonlight while listening to Leonard Cohen, miraculously "evading" the FCC. We shall set up sizeable broadcasting areas in our parents' basements that they have little to no apparent knowledge of. We shall smooch Samantha Mathis when she writes impossibly mediocre poetry in tribute to our edginess and naturally incredibly sexy voice. We shall indeed "talk hard" and hope that no one realizes we're trying to pull off Jack Nicholson and failing.

Come to me, my minions, and we shall rule the school...and the world!

...until we do Bed of Roses and start smacking our girlfriends around, that is.
