Meme--The Cute Monster Test

I gakked this from [info]hotarunokokoro. It is surprisingly accurate, except that this particular demon doesn't always stay an inner demon...

Your Cute Monster Says Your Inner Demon is Depression
You are both a realist and an idealist. You're able to see the world as it is - and how it could be.
You dream big, and you never give up on your beliefs. You have big plans.

Sometimes you build things up in your head.
People think you're cute because you're determined. You're a fighter, and that's charming.


Thank God I was diagnosed and received treatment for it. I'm not "cured" but I have learned how to sidetrack it, how to derail it once it hits, and how to deal with it if everything fails and it still hits.

Today I get to go back to work after a 4-day spring break (I'm not counting the weekend--I always get weekends). This is the time of year when the kids either pick up, thinking "OMG it's almost school out and I'm failing and I don't want to have Miss B again!" or they start fading back, thinking "Who cares, I don't want to study, it's too nice outside, and my boy/girl friend is much more important that any of my classes." Come to think of it, that's pretty much how the teachers are thinking, too. Heh.

On the writing front, I have about 2 more chapters to go...one for sure, and probably one more to wrap everything up. The cool thing is I found an old note that I wrote with this ending in mind, and it gave me a whole "Oh! Yes! That's how it needs to go!" so I expect this last chapter (or two) to go rather quickly. Then it's a matter of editing so that it fits with the central story (which may mean editing the central story a bit, too), and then I can start on finishing the sequel. So go me!

Well, duh....

Your result for What's your key signature?...

A-Flat Major


Congratulations, you’re A-flat Major, a nice quiet break from all the rocking going around. A-flat is a key more suited for symphonies and chamber music halls than for rock concerts, and a look at the number of rock songs in A-flat confirms that. In my exhaustive search for rockers in Ab, in fact (I spent about 12 seconds on Google) I only found one. It makes sense why this key is so associated with peace and serenity, most of the music played on it is by woodwinds. Guitar, Piano, Bass and other non winds tend to have some trouble with 4 flats, leading to naught but woodwindy love for this key. :3


You’re the type of person who is a vegetarian only because you don’t like the thought of killing animals, and you prefer protests to parties. Keep up the lovely environment of happy you create around yourself, and you’re going to snap eventually.


SONG EXAMPLE:


Symphony No. 1 in A flat major, Op. 55 (Shut up, I tried.)


INTERESTING TIDBIT:


* Some nuts consider A-Flat one of the best keys for flute music, despite flutes being tuned in C.


* One of the most popular uses for the key overall is as a transition key for the second movements of symphonies in C Minor.

Surprisingly accurate (in my own opinion, of course).

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

Conscientious, Fulfilled, and Spiritual


The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence affected literature, philosopy, religion, art, politics, science, and all other aspects of intellectual enquiry. Renaissance artists looked at the human aspect of life in their art. They did not reject religion but tended to look at it in it's purest form to create visions they thought depicted the ideals of religion. Painters of this time had their own style and created works based on morality, religion, and human nature. Many of the paintings depicted what they believed to be the corrupt nature of man.


People that like Renaissance paintings like things that are more challenging. They tend to have a high emotional stability. They also tend to be more concientious then average. They have a basic understanding of human nature and therefore are not easily surprised by anything that people may do. They enjoy life and enjoy living. They are very aware of their own mortality but do not dwell on the end but what they are doing in the present. They enjoy learning, but may tend to be a bit more closed minded to new ideas as they feel that the viewpoint they have has been well researched and considered. These people are more old fashioned and not quite as progressive. They enjoy the finer things in life like comfort, a good meal, and homelife. They tend to be more spiritual or religious by nature. They are open to new aesthetic experiences.

Gakked from [info]safewrite.

When you see this, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride. Preferably not "As you wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech.

"No more rhyming now! I mean it!"
"Anybody want a peanut?"

On a side note, the first time I ever saw this movie was at an SF convention that was running SF/Fantasy movies 24-7. I went into the theater and caught about the last hour of The Neverending Story and The Princess Bride immediately followed it. Perhaps you can understand my surprise when almost every person in the theater started quoting along with the characters. It has since become one of my favorite movies, and I, too, can now quote along with the characters...

Life and a meme

God's painting
School is going well. I haven't had any major difficulties this year so far, and God willing the rest of the school year will go as well.

Yorkie-cat is as fat and sassy as ever. He has, however, developed the bad habit of leaning against me when he wants my attention, instead of just meowing.

Health-wise I'm okay, I guess. My diabetes is under control (yay) and now that I know why my foot has been hurting (plantar faciitis), and know what I need to do to make it better, it is getting better.

And as for the meme...

What Your Bed Says About You



Outward appearances are a concern of yours, but not your primary concern. You try to take care of yourself and your home, but it's not an obsession.



Your life tends to be completely chaotic. You aren't a very organized person, and you tend to be slow in cleaning up messes.



You are not very high maintenance in general, but you are high maintenance about a few things.



In relationships, you tend to be quite dominant. You enjoy taking charge.



You tend to be a down to earth, practical person. You think in terms of what is actual.



You are a bit of a homebody, but you can also make yourself at home anywhere.

See, this is one reason (of many!) that I don't bother reading my horoscope. Either it's too general to be useful, or it's just plain silly.

"Abstract thoughts. Loves reality and abstract." What the?

On the NaNo front, I've fallen behind, but I'm determined to get caught up before the holiday (since I know I won't get anything done while at my dad's). Regardless of whether I make my 50K or not, though, I've already written more this year than last year.

Considering that I teach high school English, and that most of my students read below their grade levels (some significantly so), I'm rather glad that I write at a higher reading level than they do. ;-)

And let's face it...how many of us consistently read material that is as challenging as college level texts? (Unless you're in college, that is...)

Anyone else annoyed that the stores started advertizing CHRISTMAS and we're not even to Hallowe'en yet? I mean, yeah, you want to be ready for mailing Christmas gifts and cards in time, but October 1st? Argg!

I totally refuse to buy anything for Christmas until after Thanksgiving (except for a couple of things that do need a month's lead time to mail).

That said, a couple of Hallowe'en-ish type quizes/memes for your entertainment:



You Could Not Be a Vampire



Sorry, but you're not just cut out for flesh eating, turning into a bat, and living forever.

But that's okay. The sight of blood turns your stomach... without even thinking of drinking it.

And while you definitely would never be a vampire, you're exactly the type of frail prey Dracula wannabe's crave.

Maybe it's time to arm yourself with a cross and some nasty garlic breath!



What you would like best about being a vampire: The raw power (though you wouldn't admit it to anyone)



What you would like least about being a vampire: The whole killing thing

Taken from [info]truepenny

These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of today). As usual, bold what you have read, italicise what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.

To my surprise, none of these were books I couldn’t stand. That’s either very strange or just that if I’m going to put the time into reading something, I’ll find something to like about it.

You Scored an A

It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors.
If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs.
As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human.
And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.


and from [info]barbarienne:

Your Score: House Targaryen


54% Dominant, 63% Extroverted, 81% Trustworthy



Ancient. Noble. Passionate to the point of insanity. Transcending lesser beings, you are of House Targaryen.

You are a dominant personality—in fact, you are the most dominant of all eight house types. You will not suffer yourself to be ignored. You will not suffer yourself to be ruled. The phrase "I will not suffer myself to _____!" was practically made for you. You are willful, arrogant, and exceedingly dangerous to screw with. With a temper like yours, anyone stupid enough to saunter into your line of fire won’t soon forget their mistake.

You are also extroverted, which means that everyone in the world knows exactly what your intentions are. Unlike your cohorts (who hide behind smiles and courtesies and court politics), you think of it as your birthright to come riding in on an enormous dragon, breathing fire and fucking your siblings. Hey, what you lack in subtlty, you make up in style!

Finally, you are trustworthy. Your absurd amounts of power and borderline psychosis are not used unjustly. Unlike many, your general aims are just and true. You we bred for rule, and the fact that you cannot rest until you are doing so is not your fault. If you make up your mind, it becomes reality. Never one for empty threats or vainglorious lies, you can only speak the truth. And the truth is "fire and blood."

Representative characters include: Daenerys Stormborn, Rhaegar Targaryen, and Viserys Targaryen

Similar Houses: Baratheon, Lannister,and Tully

Opposite House: Frey

When playing the game of thrones, you play it to the death.

I think the problem is allergies, but I've been sneezing and sniffling and having a sore throat+hoarseness. At least, I certainly hope it's just allergies and not something else. This isn't the time of year for a cold! Also, we've had a rash of mosquitoes, and they seem to like me a lot. I've been using a mosquito repellant, but I still get a few bites and they're very itchy! I've replenished my supply of antihistimines and got some anti-itch cream, and that seems to be helping some, but I'd just as soon not be so tasty to the skeeters.

And the meme is from [info]hotarunokokoro, though behind the cut ) to save space a bit.

Which I thought much more amusing :D


Your Score: Longcat


55 % Affection, 35 % Excitability , 35 % Hunger



Protector of truth.

Slayer of darkness.

Loooooong.

Longcat may seem like just a regular lengthy cat, but he is, in fact, looong. For proof, observe the longpic.

It is prophesized that Longcat and his archnemesis Tacgnol will battle for supremacy on Caturday. The outcome will change the face of the world, and indeed the very fabric of lolcatdom, forever.

Be grateful that the test has chosen you, and only you, to have this title.
