It can be anything you want - good or bad - but it has to be fake.

Your result for The Who Would You Be in 1400 AD Test...

The Prioress


You are a moral person and are also highly intellectual. You like your solitude but are also kind and helpful to those around you. Guided by a belief in the goodness of mankind you will likely be christened a saint after your life is over.


You scored high as both the Lady and the Monk. You can try again to get a more precise description of either the Monk or the lady, or you can be happy that you're an individual.

Via Many:

Take a picture of yourself right now. Don’t change your clothes. Don’t fix your hair. Just take a picture. Post that picture with no editing. (Except maybe to get the image size down to something reasonable. Don’t go posting an eight megapixel image.) Include these instructions.




I've just got up... morning people are an entirely different species.

I'm bored, I want to write something, and I don't know what. So I'm going to meme!

The one that's going around seems to be the one where you list three things you've done that you're pretty sure no one else on your list has done, and challenge people to say "I've Done That." So, let's give it a shot:

1) Tooled around in at least three active mines with the operator's knowledge and permission.

2) Cooked soup in a skillet.

3) Sexually harassed by a goat while attempting to make a call on a pay phone. Apparently, I sat in something good earlier that day.

4) Watched lightning strike from juuuuust below cloud level. It was during the storm that you see behind me in the icon.

Go for it.

My score on The "What Type of Intellectual are You?" Test:


The Scientist

(You scored 72% empirical, 17% public, and 38% teaching-oriented)



You are The Scientist!

Slavishly devoted to the principle of cause and effect, you never leave an assumption untested.

With the right resources, you can live in a paradise of experiments, happily isolated from the rest of the world.

Some "Scientist" types love the process, while others are driven by the results. The common feature is their vigorous independence. Your fellow scientists will be your only audience, and your harshest critics. But you'll get your accolades spiritually, every time someone says "I wonder how this works?"

Okay, so what you do is:

1) Find a Random Wikipedia Article. The title is the name of your band.

2) Go here and get a bunch of Random Quotes. The last four words of the last quote on the page is your album title.

3) Go to Flickr and get a random photo from the past seven days. The third one (upper right) is your album cover.

And what do we get? )
hertinkness: (Default)
A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".


Hmm... let's see...

1) I don't like people touching my feet. If I let you touch my feet, that means I really trust you.
2) My iPod has become my most useful tool in the office in order to drown out the noise from Club Greenpoint, the four guys in cubes surrounding mine.
3) I like Club Greenpoint.
4) I'm very allergic to certain shorthair breeds of cats- longhair ones don't really seem to bother me as much.
5) I get on "food kicks", where I'll eat a certain meal several times a week for about a month, then get tired of it and rediscover it about a half a year later.
6) I like Chad Kroeger's voice. I can't tell you why.
7) There are so many places in the world I want to visit, I'd have to dedicate a book to listing them.

Okey dokey! Now it's your turn, [livejournal.com profile] __fantine, [livejournal.com profile] green_knight, [livejournal.com profile] isolani, [livejournal.com profile] hexidecima, and [livejournal.com profile] wordweaverlynn!
