Your result for The Social Persona Test (Version 2.5)...
The Late Bloomer (QTAM)
Quirky Traditional Alpha Male
You are a horrible persona to be until sometime in high school or college, and then things just can't go wrong for you. Sure you are a bit nerdy, but the cool type of nerdy; and you have developed confidence as if it were a well toned muscle. When selecting a date stick to nice, traditional women, preferably ones who share your interests.
You are more QUIRKY than NORMAL.
You are more TRADITIONAL than LIBERAL.
You are more DOMINANT than PASSIVE.
When picking a date, consider: The Rarity (QTAF) or The Librarian (QTBF).

-His workers are quick to calculate the costs and benefits, and are straightforward in expressing their emotions.

-Also, because his nation is well known for its variety of food, gets irritated and nags if there is food that has a pattern of tastes.

--------------------
Obsessed with the adorable and production, China is an experienced nation with a very traditional-like feel to it. Yao loves the"mascot" Shinatty-chan, which is a kitty costume worn by either Russia or Prussia at respective times.

A few weeks ago, me and Leng discovered this truly awesome weaboo ukay-ukay. Random things from Japan galore. Must be part of that JPEPA thingee where we become Japan's dumping ground.
Here are pics of our haul:
From this batch: A red weighted bat, a double breasted jacket for Leng, a cooling pitcher, a barbecue grill, 2 teacups, 1 weird chicken plushie, 1 Elizabeth plushie and 2 Tarepandas.
From this batch: A cup-and-ball toy, a pair of shoes foe me, Tohno Ken plushie, Panda Hat, A cow plushie, a penguin, another Tarepanda and a pocketwatch. And the last and most awesomest find. A japanese gradeschool loli bag aka Randoseru
And the best find for me: A japanese Mahjong set. And another Tarepanda plushie(not included in pic)
Not your usual ukay? Only a pair of shoes and 1 jacket. And the rest are random stuffage. Leng is having a hard time looking for decent shoes/boots that fit her because they are all too small.
- The Paradox of our Time By George Carlin
-
- schuri_requiem
- December 25th, 2008
A Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?

So, schuri_requiem, your LiveJournal reveals...
You are... 9% unique (blame, for example, your interest in russian gulags) and 7% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy religion). When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is conventional.
Your overall weirdness is: 24
(The average level of weirdness is: 28.
You are weirder than 54% of other LJers.)

I am now fascinated with fountain pens. Last Saturday, I was able to try one out. I couldn't forget about the feeling, so I bought a cheap refillable one at National Bookstore. Leng suggested that I get the white one because it matches with my white uniform. Here's the pen.
The engraving of the name comes free with the purchase. :D
I'm planning to but the Parker Frontier Fountain Pen next, sometime before my birthday, I guess. Here's the Parker Frontier:

Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” He is believed to have called it his greatest literary work ever. Can you write a story in six words?

- Which tarot card are ye?
-
- schuri_requiem
- August 13th, 2008
You are The Emperor
Stability, power, protection, realization; a great person.
The Emperor is the great authority figure of the Tarot, so it represents
fathers, father-figures and employers. There is a lot of aggression and violence
too.The Emperor naturally follows the Empress. Like an infant, he is filled with enthuiasm, energy, aggression. He is direct, guileless and all too often irresistible. Unfortunately, like a baby he can also be a tyrant. Impatient, demanding, controlling. In the best of circumstances, he signifies the leader that everyone wants to follow, sitting on a throne that indicates the solid foundation of an Empire he created, loves and rules with intelligence and enthusiasm. But that throne can also be a trap, a responsibility that has the Emperor feeling restless, bored and discontent.
What Tarot Card are You?

Your result for Which Chess Piece are You Test?...
The Rook's Hawk
Congrats! Only 12-16% of the population score this!
The Rook’s Hawk is like a judge. They have a great sense of right and wrong especially in their area of interest or responsibility. They are devoted to duty. They are punctual. People who set their clocks on others are typically measuring their time with the Hawk. It is common to perceive that the Hawk is cold or aloof. They frequently protect their emotions via practicality.
They work systematically to get the job done. When a new procedure is proven, they can be depended upon to carry it out. The Rook’s Hawk is deeply frustrated by the inconsistencies of others, especially when it comes to commitments. They will keep their feelings to themselves – but when asked expect truth over tact. They are quite able to make the tough call and carry it out. You will find the Rook’s Hawk at home in government, schools, military or any other organization which maintains strict hierarchy. They are the traditionalist and are perfect for balancing out the idealists of other types.
The Rook’s Hawk thrives on organization. They keep their lives and environments well-regulated. They bring painstaking attention to detail in their work and will not rest until satisfied with a job well done. They are obviously hard workers. They will sort through ideas and find the most practical ones, again revealing how common sense prevails in this type. This ‘Pawn’ is the cornerstone of an ethical working society. They are centered on dealing with the present and most practical affair. They observe life and promote consistency in society. They value loyalty and others are best to acquaint themselves with this type if they wish to gain a fruitful insight to what makes the world tick.
