Ohh I was waiting for this quiz. It wasn't particularly done well and it took a lot of will to not cheese and pick the answers I knew. Neil Gaiman is the motherfuckin man.
Which Member of the Endless Are You?
I Rule!
Local Sheriff
You are concerned about your citizens. The leadership style you use is designed to minimize conflict and ensure that nobles and peasants alike feel that you have their interests at heart. You avoid heavy-handed tactics when compromise will do, making you a benevolent ruler.
Your people fear you. They don't necessarily hate you; they might even like you, but your reputation and presence awes them. Nobles avoid angering you, for fear of your reaction. Peasants bow and avert their gaze when you pass.
You are also an effective ruler. You are able to juggle the demands of diverse provinces with the need to maintain unity throughout the kingdom. Your ability to compromise and unify nobles and peasants is well-known. On the other hand, you can focus too much on the big picture, and often leave the little problems until it's too late.
Ultimately, you are a successful leader. Through guile, diplomacy, or force, you are able to get things done.
I think since the goal was to rule and keep a kingdom going, I got it right. There was stuff I wouldn't ever want to do that I picked and sometimes there were questions that just didn't list my answer. My ethics strongly disagree with some of my choices but the alternatives would not yeild my goal.
bleah I don't like this one, so I tried another. I liked it better:
1. WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR USERNAME?
It would take a long time to explain Nobody. It comes out of thinking existential thoughts when I was eight, reading Octavio Paz when I was fourteen and wishing I could just exisist without having a body when I was 16. In short, it's its own entry.
razrangel was stolen from a friend I made on IRC several years ago. It was a temporary nickname for him and I liked it a lot. I hope he doesn't miss it. Only one person has ever immediately noticed what it really was and she laughed.
2. NAME FIVE [5] OF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS.
Lone Star steak
my mom's albondiga soup
Angelo and Vinci's cannelonni
rocky road ice cream
lemon salmon
3. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A MAKEOVER?
er, no
4. HAVE YOU EVER WITNESSED DEATH?
um. Not of a person, but some small animals (birds that had eaten poison, critters that were foolish enough to invade my domicile)
5. WHAT'S THE LONGEST TIME YOU'VE STAYED OUT OF THE COUNTRY/WHERE?
Not sure how long, but I think the longest trip I took was four weeks to Mexico. Travelled down the west coast through Sonora for a quinceañera, then onto to Jalisco, to Guadalajara, Zapopan and Morelia to visit family. Last time I went I got to go to Acapulco and Mazatlán and Mexico City, but I wasn't in the country as long.
6. ONE THING YOU'RE GRATEFUL FOR, TODAY.
light workload(ish)
7. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HIGH SCHOOL MEMORY?
blech. graduation, I suppose.
8. WHAT IS THE MOST INSANE THING YOU'VE DONE FOR/TO YOUR LOVE?
um. hm I'm afaid I'm kinda boring...I guess inviting people over to wish him a happy birthday without telling him...
9. DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING.
uh..*my* dream wedding? That would involve getting married wouldn't it? It's highly unlikely that *my* wedding would be anything other than a vehicle for my *mom's* dream wedding. So ask her.
10. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING WHEN YOU ARE 60?
hmm. Pretty much the same thing as I wish I were doing now. writing/directing for the stage. Maybe with better recognition and experience, possibly more firmly planted in theory, possibly guest proffing somewhere.
11. WHAT IS YOUR FIRST MEMORY?
gosh I don't know. Time was pretty chaotic back then. As far as I can recall it was probably playing with my mom's cousin - my nanny - in the linen closet and scaring the pants off her when I jumped out.
12. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE QUOTE?
several...
..."I remember in my peach party dress, no one dared, no one cared to tell me where the pretty girls are..." Precious Things Tori Amos
"Girls you've got to know when it's time to turn the page, when you're only wet because of the rain." Northern Lad Tori Amos
"All you know about me is what I sold ya (dumb fuck). Sold out long before you ever even heard my name, sold my soul to make a record (dipshit) and then you bought one." Hooker with a Penis Tool
"We're actors! We're the opposite of people!"
--The Player from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard
"It's Nuestra Señora, Madre de Dios, Reina de Los Angeles de Porciúncula, pendejo!"
--The Pachuco from Zoot Suit by Luis Valdez
"Nothing is good or ill, but thinking makes it so."
--Hamlet from Hamlet by William Shakespeare
"We will go when Godot arrives." Paraphrased from Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett
"God is so great He makes even the Devil do his bidding!" From an old joke I heard long ago.
13. MY FIRST HEARTBREAK HAPPENED WHEN I WAS...
uh finishing college...(i didn't get out much.)
14. HOW MUCH MONEY DOES IT TAKE TO KEEP YOU FOR A YEAR?
dunno. depends on whether or not it counts if my parents are feeding and housing me. Seems that 30k does it roughly. ish.
15. DO YOU HAVE ANY WEIRD PREFERENCES?
err define weird. I don't like to keep the same routine from day to day which has made it hard to stick to exercise/diet regimens and has made me have a few near-misses at work (hanging out in the bathroom crying my eyes out cause I don't want to work anymore, stupid shit like that)
16. WHAT IS ONE THING YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX?
err hmm I don't think it's anything about the opposite sex really. Everything guys do girls do, just differently. But there's tons of stuff I don't get about chicks...
17. WHAT PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY DO YOU WANT MOST RIGHT NOW?
a handheld t-900-type-thing that lets me access the net to communicate with anyone online - check email, instant message, etc - and potentially recieve pages.
18. NAME ONE TV CHARACTER YOU'D MOST WANT TO BE.
hmm i dunno. I guess if I HAVE to pick it would be CJ Cregg. hmm
19. FAVORITE GEMSTONE?
garnets
20. GIVE YOURSELF A PORN STAR NAME.
uhhh
uhhhhh
hmmmm
That Chick
21. WHAT'S YOUR WORST FLAW?
being lazy/bad time management
22. WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO THIS SUMMER?
Find some miracle that will let me travel to Iowa in June, Washington DC in July and put on a play in August without going into hoc for my ass.
23. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SONG RIGHT NOW?
hmm well I'm listening to Mozart's Requiem. Not really a song, but damn it's good. Otherwise Parabol/Parabola by Tool (actually two tracks, but they should go together), One Line by PJ Harvey and Hotel by Tori Amos make a nice three-way.
24. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES IN THESE CATEGORIES: HUMOR, ROMANCE, DRAMA, ACTION, HORROR?
Humor: South PArk. dude, I forgot how wrong that shit it. If there ever was a way to be righteously wrong....
Romance: Shakespeare in Love. I don't really me the romance between the two characters, but it's fancy with which it approached the Bard's life and writing is just...wow...
Drama: Elizabeth. word.
Action: hmm Fight Club fucking rules but Liam Niesen's Rob Roy is just tight.
Horror: I don't like horror much but I found The Cube was pretty horrific. The premise had me shivering in bed, afraid to sleep for many a night.
25. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DISNEY SONG?
hmm probably either "Be prepared" sung by Jeremy Irons/Scar in The Lion King or "Poor Unfortunate Soul" sung by Ursula (never caught the singer's name) in The Little Mermaid. I love a good Disney villan.
26. DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM HOUSE.
hmm probably a little cottage just out of the way of main boulevards in a big city. A place that looks like it could barely squeeze out a second bedroom, but it has a garden where it looks like random seeds were tossed out to see what would grow.
27. YOUR TYPICAL SLEEPWEAR:
depends. getting to like sleeping bare more and more, but I often revert to a cotton nightgown just cause it's really comfy and warm.
28. WHAT'S IN YOUR BAG?
oh boy...calenar, checkbook, tissue, drixoral, stamps, band-aids, some make up, a few d10's, 3 MET books, 3 TT books (the tt books are Mage, the MET is all vamp) *MANY* notes, printed emails, directions, a couple of tapes that are likely useless, a small note pad and a larger notebook that is nearly shredded from use.
29. WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING YOU'VE EVER WORN, PIERCED, OR TATTOOED?
uh well there was that time my head was a furious fushia-red. Other than that I think I'm known for my tights. I like fishnets and other such things and I can usually find pairs that actually fit me, which can't always be said for other clothes that are shiny/neato.
30. HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR WALLET RIGHT NOW?
hmmm not counting plastic let's see...$71. I'm ready for the weekend...
31. WHAT'S YOUR NEXT CHARACTER CONCEPT?
Uh. *ponders* Hermetic business analyst mebbe, or Nuwisha lawyer (that's a concept that's nearly three years old), bad at vamps...maybe a Brujah finally. *Shrug*
32. WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF IN YOUR LIFE?
Thus far? oh gosh. Probably becoming financially independent. I don't think that's such a great thing, but it's the best I've done so far. }:P
33. HOW WAS YOUR SENIOR PROM?
kinda relaxed. watched TV, only wore sweats. Read some. Helped mom with dinner.
34. TELL US ABOUT ANY OF YOUR BIRTHDAYS.
I already did. Just don't tell anyone about it.
35. WHAT DO YOU MOST ENJOY ABOUT LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE?
uh. depends. I like watching people, see where they look while they talk, how they move, gesture, use their hands/legs. tells a lot.
36. WHAT ARE THE FIRST FIVE THINGS YOU WOULD SPLURGE ON IF YOU WERE A BILLIONAIRE?
Retire.
Buy a house for my mom.
Buy a theatre, allocate money to running it.
Buy Squire a house.
Ask friends what they want, give it to 'em.
37. WHAT IS YOUR DAILY BEFORE-GOING-TO-BED RITUAL?
duh. It's the using-the-bathroom-ritual. Pee, wash hands, face, brush teeth, take a pill, possibly a multivitamin. Swig some water and read a little. Pray the dog shuts up soon, roll over, sleep.
38. WHAT IS THE WEIRDEST/FUNNIEST NICKNAME ANYONE HAS EVER CALLED YOU?
Nothing weird or funny. Just mean. "beast," "Bitch," back in the day it was "schoolgirl" *shrug*
39. NAME THREE [3] OF YOUR FAVORITE CARTOON CHARACTERS.
errr Kenny ummm Stan and Kyle.
40. WHAT ARE THE MAGAZINES YOU READ ON A REGULAR BASIS?
none, anymore. But I try to keep up with The Onion and Salon.com. I'm just not very good at it.
