Yay for Quizzes! [Mar. 5th, 2007|06:59 pm]

The Everything Test

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.

Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-)

Personality
You are more logical than emotional, more concerned about others than concerned about self, more atheist than religious, more dependent than loner, more lazy than workaholic, more traditional than rebel, more artistic mind than engineering mind, more idealist than cynical, more leader than follower, and more introverted than extroverted.

As for specific personality traits, you are adventurious (100%), intellectual (80%), adventurous (80%), artistic (66%).

Stereotypes
Punk Rock73%
Young Professional71%
Geek70%
 
Life Experience
Sex42%
Substances32%
Travel32%

Politics
Your political views would best be described as Libertarian, whom you agree with around 68% of the time.
  Socioeconomic
Your attitude toward life best associates you with Upper Class. You make more than 0% of those who have taken this test, and 10% more than the U.S. average.

If your life was a movie, it would be rated PG-13.
By the way, your hottness rank is 48%, hotter than 68% of other test takers.

Good heavens! I have been absent for so long! My computer died in February and I haven't had a chance to get it fixed until now... let alone the time to have this taken care of.

Work has been totally crazy lately as well. I am working a lot of extra hours because a few people are on holiday and I am backing up for some of their responsibilities. In other words, work is plain crazy these days! I know I could have it worse, at least I have got a job, but still, I could really use a nice vacation somewhere! I am very much in the mood to travel! But I won't get the chance to do so until some time in the summer. Boo hoo.

Anyway, I am super excited because I am going to meet one of my foreign friends again next week, who is coming to visit. I am really looking forward to meeting her, she totally rocks. I hope the weather will be nice, too, so we can do some sightseeing and stuff together with warm temperatures and nice light for many photos! :)

Other than that, I have been busy seeing friends and watching heaps of movies. Did I ever mention I am addicted to movies? Well, if I didn't, then you know now!

My mind is all over the place today, I think I just need to relax a bit, unwind, and then sit down and write a 'real' post! I hope all of you are having a cool day!

[music |Smiths - Louder than Bombs (album)]

It isn't even 7 am on a Sunday morning! What have I done to awake that early, not being able to fall asleep again?! Oh man, that's not fair! ;) I was planning to get heaps of sleep this weekend and now that! Well, at least I can catch up on some things I have neglected this past week. I am talking about chores here. Shudder.

There isn't much to write about. Work has been alittle exhausting the past week and I am going to meet with some friends later today to eat out. I am really looking forward to that. We are also planning on going to the movies. So yeah, nothing that special.

It has been way too cold for my liking here lately. I can't wait for spring. Seriously, I am sick of having to wear thick clothes and still freezing all of my body parts of. I am really craving for spring. I am so much more active when it isn't so cold. I want to go for bike rides again and go to flea markets! :)

*note: I need to get a new camera, I feel a desperate urge to take photos.

I can't wait for the weekend! I really can't! But today will be an extraordniarily long day at work. Sob sob. Well, at least I have work. Sigh.

It is super cold here these days, so the thing is I don't even want to go outside to just get to work!Sometimes I really want to be self-employed and work from home. I think I have these thoughts every winter anyway! :-)

So, not much else is new. I am craving to meet my friends this weekend, we want to go to the movies, and eat out. That will make for a good time, even if it is nothing unusual to do. I just feel so burnt out from work these days, that thinking of something so simple already really makes my day. I appreciate my spare time, and I appreciate my friends. It's not like my work was utterly horrible either. It's not a bad job. It's not the greates, but it could be far worse. And nearly everyone at work is very nice, which is very important to me. There's nothing worse than a bad atmosphere at work. I have had that in the past and I would rather have a dull job than that ever again.

Other than that I am just hugely exhausted these days. I am really waiting for spring and summer. I am waiting for an energy boost from the warmer weather and more sunshine! I really can't wait. How much longer is this going to take?! Hurry up, man! ;-)

Today is such a lazy day. I should be getting busy, but I am just very very lazy today. *giggles* I need to go shopping and I just don't want to. I want to lie around and not do a thing.

Well, at least for the next two hours at least. :-)

I was shocked to see how long I haven't been updating. Sheesh. I need to seriously work on this!

I am thinking of buying a new camera, since I feel very inspired taking photographs these days. Only that my camera isn't any good to take the photos I want to take. I really can't make up my mind as to which camera to buy, I guess I should get busy reading some test reports and all that.

Work has also been extremely stressful lately, so I didn't even have time to meet my friends much or do much of anything except watching a few good movies. I am actually a bit exhausted, and the cold weather doesn't help this fact much. I am really looking very forward to spring and summer this year. And maybe by then I will even have a new camera to capture the beauty of spring with! That would be great!

I also really long to go on a trip these days, even if it was for only a weekend away. That would be so relaxing, and it would help to take my mind off work and all that. I kind of really want to go to Budapest and maybe Prague, well maybe I'll get a chance to soon enough! :-)

[mood | bored]

I have been very busy lately. And since basically no one is reading my journal, it probably doesn't matter that I didn't update in a long time. Work has kept me very busy. But in fact, I am also looking for a new job. The job I have now is okay, but I miss some variety and a certain challenge. I get bored after a while if nothing changes. I am getting stuck here, and I don't want this to happen. I have also had some health problems as of late, but they have gotten a lot better again so they are not even really worth mentioning.

I wish I had better writing skills. I would love to write something that has an impact on people, but I have a total creative gap these days. I cannot even write a letter or answer emails, because I am totally blocked. I have no idea why. And it somehow worries me. I hope I am getting my inspiration back soonish.

Because I am in such a creative hole, I have started playing pc games quite a bit lately, and I am watching heaps of movies as well. The video rental will be happy that they are making so much money off me these days! It is not that I am not happy, but something is missing these days, and I can't really name it. Something that kills my creativity and laughter. Oh well, maybe it is only a mild form of winter depression, who knows! :) I wish I had the funds right now to visit one of my friends in Italy. I could really use a short break, even if it is only for a weekend. But it isn't very likely that I'll make it because all the cheap flights are long sold out. I wish I had some ideas! :)

Well, I have been to the doctor's, and obviously the medication I am on is doing me no good at all. He is running a bloodtest and I need to call in later today to get the results. I'm not very thrilled. Especially since I am on sick note now. I have a fever, too, and am feeling generally cranky. But I hope things are going to be fine! I guess this will be a good day to catch up on my favourite series that I taped off the TV and that I never have the time for to watch! :)

I also couldn't resist to go pop in to the media store that is across the street from my doctor's. And I bought the LOTR The Two Towers box set (5 DVD's plus a small Gollum statue), which were on sale. I am totally thrilled! I had been eyeing that box for a while but didn't want to spend as much as 99 € on it! Sometimes it really pays off to wait! I already had the extended edition, but I guess I will now try to sell it since it is included in the box (naturally).

Okay, I will eat something now and spend the rest of the day in bed, watching videos/DVD's/TV! Not so bad after all!

I have had a really nice week so far meeting with a lot of friends, having good talks, and getting a few things done that I had been putting off for so long. I ate out a few times, watched a bunch of good movies, tried to lay back and not let myself get too stressed! How nice! Plus the weather has been really mild, it adds to the good mood! :-)

I have an appointment with one of my doctors tomorrow. I am not thrilled. I don't think it is anything serious, but better be safe than sorry. I hate seeing doctors. Well, I guess we all do.

Other than trying to ignore tomorrow's appointment, I am trying to figure out what to do tonight. I actually really want to watch Lost, but I cannot find it anywhere online. I envy you guys in America and Canada just now, and I am jealous you get to watch the series. I am not sure it will ever be aired over here. One of my online friends is watching it every week, and she says it was really really good. I have seen episode 5 of it (thanks to nuregwen), and I am very intrigued by it. Ah well, I guess I will have to see if I can watch a nice movie instead.

I am craving a good coffee right now.

I know I know, I never update. I need to hang out more on LJ and friend some people! ;)

Life has been on the hectic side here lately. I have been busy working and studying and meeting friends. Sometimes I wonder that I still manage to have a social life! :P And I love my friends! They make me laugh when I am down. :)

I need to really drag myself to the computer and LJ more often! Watch out! ;)

Ah well, the past few days have been rather quiet. Though, ebay has been a bitch, but let's not discuss this further or I will want to trash my computer! I am getting rid of a bunch of stuff at the moment, since I own too much stuff to move. I just thought it was time to get rid of whatever I am not using. I find it hard to part from stuff I have had for a long time, but if I go on like this I will become something like a messy, I am afraid! ;-) However, ebay is always acting up, not displaying things properly, the site often doesn't load (due to ebay servers, not due to internet connection or anything), in other words, ebay is quite a pain. I wouldn't be selling my things on ebay if it wasn't the biggest platform like this.

I am getting rid of a bunch of books. I have decided I will concentrate on hardcovers, so a lot of paperbacks can go. And I don't need 5 atlasses, really. Just go and find a new owner. :)

What else is new? In fact, today I am really bored. Some software is really freaking me out, the constant change of weather is driving me crazy, people are driving me crazy, and it is just "one of those days" when your tolerance for anything annoying is really low. Thank goodness some friends will pick me up for a bike ride in 15 minutes or so. That should be good.

Other than that, life is good! :-)

Well, at long last I finally get to log in to LJ today! I have had computer issues lately and then LJ has been a bitch whenever I wanted to post. I have just gotten over some health issues. I underwent a small operation this month and feel a lot better now. I only wish it would really be summer here. It is raining all the time, which is quite paralyzing when you are an outdoorsy person. I could do with a nice trip abroad. Prague would be cool. Unfortunately, none of my friends has an interest to visit Prague, and I am not too keen travelling all by myself. Oh well, it could be worse. ;)

You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves
your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling
he/she is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss
that never lessens and always blows your
partner away like the first time.

LJ just totally put me off. I have been trying to make posts for a whole week now, and I can't sign in, or pages won't load. It is annoying the crap out of me. I had some posts to make, but right now I am not in the mood for all this! I just hope LJ will keep working for the next days so I can catch up with my posting! ;)

I just realized I never post on my LJ, although I totally love to watch other people on here and what they have to say. I guess I am just not exhibitionist enough yet. Might be because I have no one commenting or really to talk to on here. YET. ;) Hopefully, I can get some of the people I know to join! Lol.

Life is being very weird these days. Like a lot of people I know, last year was really really bad. And just when you thought this year could only be better than 2003, it turns out to be even worse. There is a lot of illness going on around me, lots of deaths, many people are in severe (often financial) trouble they didn't cause. Everyone seems so unlucky. I wonder if this is a cosmic phenomenon or something like that, since it seems a lot of people around me are affected and feel that way.

Anyways, I have a day off today. I should go grocery shopping but I will wait until it stops raining. And since I am hungry and have nothing at home, I am eating a can of corn now. I am meeting some dear friends later tonight that I haven't seen in a while. It will be nice to catch up on what has been going on in their lives. So I am surfing the web and hoping for the rain to stop so I will have something but corn to eat in the house! ;)

It has been a good day so far. I came home from work already, I took a peak at a store and almost bought Return of the King on DVD as it was just released today, but I didn't have enough money on me! So I might rent it later today... lol. I should post more often really... I find this online journal quite fun, but haven't had the hang of writing much yet... This should change... :D

"In my life, oh why do I give valuable time, to people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?"

This is a quote from one of my favourite songs, and it describes how I am feeling just now. Just shaking my head at some people for a moment... and then going on with my life. Life is good, but some days I just get annoyed with people. It would not be possible to have a world with only smart and kind and wonderful people that are all to my taste, but sometimes I wish it was. Period.

I am just babbling. I am generally feeling good. I still am not sure what to do with my life. I wonder if I will ever find out what my 'mission' in life is. I sure hope so. But maybe I am just meant to be a seeker, who knows.
