Your result for Reincarnation Placement Exam...

Gypsy Camp

52% Intrigue, 49% Civilization, 65% Humanity, 59% Crowded, 35% Busy.



You sing! You dance! You flee from the authorities!



You were a bit difficult to place, because you like civilization and humanity -- but when it comes to work, you don't really fit into the system, the ruts and the rituals, that modern civilization embraces. You like your own ways... your old ways.



We've placed you among a hardy Gypsy family. They'll have you plucking a violin before you can talk, and dancing before you can walk. The road is your home, and your horses are members of your family. You get to wear lots of shiny things.



We expect that you'll have a good life. Even if your people are surrounded by a world where they don't really fit in, they have each other, an oasis of compatibility in an unbalanced world. We know you'll make the most of it!

I think this is someone else's result, but I like the picture.

Your result for Which Chess Piece are You Test?...

The Knight's City Guard

Congrats! Only 10-13% of the population score this!

The Knight’s City Guard is characterized by the desire to serve others in times of need. Sometimes this drive is so powerful that the standard ‘give-and-take’ is unsatisfying. They are bound very much to social convention and don’t like to include moral or political controversy. The City Guard is often forgotten because they are so reliable. They are loyal and great producers of quality – which end up allowing others to take for granted what the City Guard gives. They are hurt by being treated as a doormat but are unwilling to toot their own horn about accomplishments. This is due to that it feels somewhat wrong to want a reward for doing work which is a virtue in itself.


The City Guard can be overworked and suffer from self inflicted headaches. They are methodical workers with good memories and analytical abilities. They are great in small groups because of their patience. They make pleasant co-workers and better employees. They tend to feel a bit harried by supervisory roles. They form strong loyalties of a personal nature. This is opposed to institutional loyalty. If someone leaves the company that’s close to this type – they may leave as well. They are perfect as teachers, administrators, clerics and fit right in amongst nursing or medical careers.


The Knight’s City guard is concerned with harmony and traditional behavior. They have a few close friends and are extremely loyal. Don’t confront them, they hate that. Also if the Knight’s City Guard is moody – it could be because they haven’t shared something of importance. Most friends of the City Guard feel ashamed later when finding out why the Guard refused to share the source of their trouble. This ‘Pawn’ is wonderful because they are the diplomat of emotions and needs. They are society’s most constructive and protective member.

Oh, the Heat!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to write this post yesterday but it was too damned hot. Today isn't looking a lot better so far, but it's only 9:40 (meaning I just logged in to work up here on the third floor) and the sun hasn't exactly hit the window yet so we're okay. For now. Got my fan sitting right beside my head (CLEVER! will have earache later!), poured the leftover breakfast coffee into my largest mug along with a latte mix to up the caffeine and set it all in the fridge for later. Happily, I remembered my Dragonfest wardrobe stashed in the bottom drawer-- half a dozen saris and five or six little-nothing tops consisting of a minimal bit of limp fabric and a string. I'm skipping the sari and just keeping it close at hand in case someone comes to the door.

It was 97 degrees in the City yesterday. We're going to Phoenix next week to see The Fam and it will be comfortable by comparison, if only because Arizona is air conditioned. Well, all of it except the outdoors.

In other happy news, [info]redisadore put me on a track that led to .... (drum roll) .... SCRIVENER!!!! A slobberingly wonderful large-writing-project-organizer for Mac. Of course, I'm the last person on the planet to hear of this, but I'm delighted all the same. Suddenly, fixing the novel-on-the-drawing-board does not seem impossible!

But I Wanted to Be a Daisy!!!!!!

Which Goddess lurks in your soul?

Which Goddess lurks in your soul?

Hecate

You hold more power in your little finger than most do in their entire being! Hecate is perhaps the most selective of all deities who inhabit the souls of mortals. Being the goddess of the crossroads, Cosmic Knowledge, and of course witches and magic she can’t be bothered by residing in the souls of the mundane. She often chooses those who practice the craft of the old ways and those who harbor deep mystical secrets that must be kept close. Your soul is old, perhaps having been present at the birth of the cosmos in some form or another. Your ability to comprehend the necessity of death and it’s beauty have awakened a connection to the underworld, where Hecate has been known to reign and you relish this otherworldly bond. Darkness suits you well, as many of the best secrets of the cosmos can be found there.

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.


The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know.

Identify the song and the artist.

Well, actually, it's not, it's Sunday evening and I'm hoping O makes it out of the Tenderloin and to my house, as he said he was doing about an hour ago.  But it's still a new beginning here in LJ Land.

Think I'll go bake a potato while I wait.  I mean, nuke a potato.
