2002-02-19 9:55 AM quizes..and stuff Previous Entry :: Next Entry Mood: Content I'm Sarah. I'm imaginative and creative, though a bit of a brat sometimes. If I use my wits, I'll get what I want. Nobody has power over me! yeah! I Am A: Neutral Good Elf Bard Paladin Alignment: Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'. Race: Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance. Primary Class: Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit. Secondary Class: Paladins are the Holy Warriors. They have been chosen by a God/dess to be their representative on Earth, and must follow the code of that deity, or risk severe penalties. They tend towards being righteous, but not generally to excess. Find out What D&D Character Are You?, courtesy of NeppyMan! YEah? What song did you have in your head when you woke up? Jerk-off, Tool What annoyed you this morning? wishing for some coffee and realizing I had no cash. What are you gonna do tonight? Hang out with Molasses tonight and hope the spaghetti is still good to eat. If it isn't then I promised him we'd go to Fatburger. What's the next major expense on the docket? depends I can't afford much these days, but certain people owe me.... So besides the planned expenses (mostly monthly loan installations), I may get someone to poke around under the hood of my car and see what that comes to. If it's no big thing, then I'll see about a weekend getaway in the next monthish. Do you exercise much? wish I did. Wish I excersized regularly, but I'm kinda bad at it. Who are you expecting to communicate with soon? Rabbit, I hope, or else Molasses. But when I check my mail it's anybody's guess. Do you consider yourself well off? well yeah mostly, I guess. Financially-speaking I'm doing alright so long as I get no surprises. Friend and family-wise I have a bit of both and they make me happy (mostly). Love-wise I'm doing good. }:> Health-wise I'm mostly ok. How far away is your closest friend? um. 30ish miles? I think. What was the first piece of music that made you get up and dance and sing (or pretend to know the words) that you can remember? hmm, there's a lot that I vaguely remember, and then, for absolutely sure, the very FIRST that I clearly remember was listening to my dad's tapes of the soundtrack to Cats. It's been one of my favorites since. What is that pleasure that you have that no one seems to understand? Crowded places like cities that *show* that they have people around making it dirty and worn and in general lived-in. What was the last thing that you saw that made you stop and stare? I saw a large tent pitched in a tiny clearing of trees under the Cherry street bridge that goes over the 405 in Signal Hill. I wonder if a troll lives there. Pick your favorite holiday. What is it and how *should* it be celebrated? Christmas Eve (NOT Christmas Day) and it *should* be celebrated with family, at least three degrees out in all directions. It should be in someone's house (preferably the person who has the biggest kitchen) and all the kids should each get one of their presents to open. Adults may exchange gifts if they go with dinner some how (wine, cigars, domino sets for the men to play while everyone else makes dinner). Most of the time I figure any person can help with making food, but at Christmas men are just extra baggage in the kitchen. They should be set to make sure that any animals stay out of the kitchen and to take care of any small children (small is not yet completely capable of controlling their bodily functions, and not able to speak comprehensibly). Older children and all women should be in the kitchen and dining room preparing the feast which should include pozole, tamales, Spanish rice, sweet potatoes, carne asada, carnitas con chile verde, pollo y chorizo, nopales con verduras. The aunts make the horchata and aguas de jicama and guayaba. And the grandmothers have the sacred duty of making the candy. The kids bring whatever their mothers ask for and dash out to do whatever chores need doing. The evening feast is a big one and everyone stuffs themselves except the oldest women who are too busy bustling in and out of the kitchen until their daughters fuss so much that they practically have to yank the pots out of their mothers' hands and forcibly seat them so they might eat. When the table is cleared off everyone gathers in the livingroom, or wherever the nativity set is and sings the traditional songs about Mary and Joseph wandering around Bethleham, cold and tired (and pregnant!) until they find the stable. Then everyone goes back to the dining room for hot chocolate (the proper kind - Ibarra chunks that had been stewing in the crock pot for six hours and had a skin on top of it) and Mexican sweet bread. (One of the unmarried male cousins dashed off when he finished eating to the nearest bakery with his grandmother to pick out the finest, sweetest three dozen.) The kids are properly sugared up and the parents are totally worn out, so the strongest uncle gathers the kids and leads them to the front yard where the piņata has been strung from the strongest, highest branch of the tree. They take turns getting blindfolded, taking a bat in hand and getting turned around three times before they tap the piņata to get a feel for it. Then on the count of three the uncle starts hauling on the rope to raise and lower the piņata until the kid gets winded and it's the next one's turn. Eventually the burrito explodes and all the candy and goodies come tumbling out and the kids go crazy trying to grab enough stuff. Finally, exhausted they come inside where their moms go through the candy, toss out roots and dirt they grabbed and set aside the candy for the morning. It's nearly midnight and most of the kids are trying to fight fatigue but their parents gave in long ago. One by one their washed up and tucked into their sleeping bags on their cousins' rooms' floors. The parents mostly follow suit in the living room and guest rooms and lastly are any old ladies who don't have men to snuggle up with anymore...if ever. They stay in the kitchen rolling more tamales, baking little cakes and gossiping about the sleeping people. wow that went kinda long.... What holiday do you hate observing? my birthday. And New Years (usually). Occasionally, christmas Day, Thanksgiving and it used to be I didn't like Valentines, but not because I didn't have an SO (although now that I have one it sucks a little less), but because it is my parent's anniversary and I can't remember the last Valentines they got through without fighting. What is your favorite work of art? hmm kinda complicated. paintings: typically anything by Frida Khalo, but I guess especially, "Lo que me dio el agua" or "What the Water Gave Me." Music: arg...Beethoven's Ninth, Tool's Third Eye, Tori's live version of Precious Things from To Venus and Back (but I think I've lost that CD, *again* dammit). Food: Angelo and Vinci's capellini Romano Movies: uh...Probably Shakespeare in Love, but that's because I love Tom Stoppard. So Plays: definately Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. (yes, I know he directed a version of it for film, and that it stars Tim Roth, but SiL is all the more sublime for the sheer scope it covers.) Favorite language? uhh Spanish? I only know two....Wish I knew more. Russian and Japanese intrigue me. Feather boa or boa constrictor? Well feathers make me sneeze and the snake makes me think of Britney Spears so... a jean jacket? What would you rather be doing, in the grander scheme of things? umm fixing the world? directing plays. What are you doing? ignoring my work to answer some silly questions What are you going to be doing this weekend? gaming and working and then gaming some more. (I'm kinda boring like that) What do you live for? these days? seeing my friends. Oh yeah, I want to fix my major expense question, if my deal for a free radio falls through, I'll likely get a new car radio. Silent 30+ mile drives are getting to me....
