20 Questions to a Better Personality
Wackiness: 72/100
Rationality: 48/100
Constructiveness: 56/100
Leadership: 30/100
You are a WECF--Wacky Emotional Constructive Follower. This makes you a Candle burning at both ends.
You work until you drop, and you play until you can stand to work again. You have so much enthusiasm that you can find it hard to control on your own, and you appreciate the guidance that channels your energy and lets you be your best.
In a relationship, you require lots of attention and support. You often over-contribute and end up feeling depleted and cheated. You may benefit from more time alone than you grant yourself.
Your driving force is the emotional support of others--especially affection. You can run on empty for miles if you have positive energy behind you. Without it--as it occasionally must run dry--you are depressive, listless, and difficult to motivate.
You need a lot of affection. Get it any way you can, but never at the cost of your self-respect or well-being.

20 Questions to a better relationship
eXpressive: 5/10
Practical: 3/10
Physical: 4/10
Giver: 8/10
You are a RSIG--Reserved Sentimental Intellectual Giver. This makes you a People-Pleaser.
Oh, RSIG! You are the most complicated and dynamic of any type. You are brilliant, tender, romantic and a joy to be with. You're the favorite of many of your friends. It's just not a party until you get there. You are bursting with feeling and sentiment and insight but you very rarely express it -- it's not how you want to present yourself to the world. Although you are always studying your non-romantic relationships -- you turn a blind eye to romantic relationships.
You're highly adaptable, and you conform to your circumstances (maybe you're a youngest child?). You would probably be content with almost anyone, and almost anyone would be blissfully happy to have you. But just because you're content doesn't mean you're happy. Don't settle!
You'd rather ignore your problems than rock the boat by creating conflict. Please understand that in the long run ignoring conflict will make you unhappy and your partner exhausted. Try picking a fight just to see how it goes. You'll find out that solving problems is so satisfying for you that it makes conflict worth it.
Your sex life could be fantastic if you could stop worrying about everything so much (did I wash my hands? how do I look? what do I need to do tomorrow?). You need a sweet, expressive lover who makes you feel at ease and never puts pressure on you. If you feel secure with your partner outside the bedroom, it will make all the difference.
You cry at movies. A lot.

Awwwwww. The new Superman's so gay. Bless. Now THAT would be an interesting angle for the new movie. Superman choosing Lex Luthor over Lois Lane. Hmmm - well, Kevin Spacey IS playing Lex.

Uck. Ate a sausage and egg toasted sandwich earlier and now I feel sickly. Yuck.
Been having fun the last few days annoying the Grumpy Catholic who's been harassing Rocket Leaf for daring to have a negative opinion about the new pope. It's the usual homophobic, sexist twaddle that atheists like me can never understand, and guys like him can never understand why we don't see things his way. But let's face it, when you're arguing from different source materials (i.e. general life & science vs. dusty old book and big goddy type thing), you're never going to get anywhere.
Still, it's fun to get your teeth into a bit of vitriolic debate every now and again. Join in if you like.

Last night I flicked Cheesy's ear. I got a first warning. Then I pinched his bum and giggled lots. I got a second warning. Giddy beyond all normal levels of giddyness I commenced in poking and tickling. That was it. Cheesy placed me in the Naughty Bathtub. Where I had to stay for 25 minutes. One minute for every year of my life. Subdued? Me? Never!

Lessons For Men #1
Oh, it started so well. Achy from my busy weekend (ahem), I asked the Chees'm for a little backrub - which he of course agreed to in a nice gentlemanly manner. After a bit of fuss finding the massage oil, I lay down flat on my front, and Chees'm sat on my legs. And then changed his mind, and sat next to me. Odd, thought I. I questioned his change of mind, to the response: "Couldn't get comfortable with my knees astride your bum - they were streched too wide".
Stony silence from me. (translated = eyes bulging, shrieking noise).
Lesson is = do not insinuate that your girlfriend's ass is so wide that it stretches your legs to breaking point.
He's very cute when he's flustered though.

 Who should I vote for?Your expected outcome:Conservative
Your actual outcome:
Labour -32  | | |  Conservative 10 | | Liberal Democrat 8 | | UK Independence Party 11 | | Green 27 |
You should vote: GreenThe Green Party, which is of course strong on environmental issues, takes a strong position on welfare issues, but was firmly against the war in Iraq. Other key concerns are cannabis, where the party takes a liberal line, and foxhunting, which unsurprisingly the Greens are firmly against.
Take the test at Who Should You Vote For
Bizarre! Green Party huh? I always thought they were just a bunch of hippies. Heh.
Hmmm. High rate for UKIP. Tsk. Thing is, I'm very anti-Europe on financial and legal grounds - I think each country has its own way of doing things, and I don't see why that should be a problem - trying to flatten everything out to the same policies/standards just creates power struggles and conflicts. And the idea of a Euro just makes me shudder in contempt (please people, don't vote Labour). That and the immigration policies have been so cocked up over the last years that I think a limit whilst it's being sorted out is a good thing. The way things are at the moment are not good for our society, and not good for the immigrants either. Things need to change. See, there should have been a question that asked: Are you a bigoted dipshit? In which case i could have answered Strongly Disagree and knocked a few points away from UKIP. Tsk.

Lol. After months of crappy gossip magazines bitching that Britney Spears has let herself go, put on weight, is living like a slob, has crappy brown hair - turns out the silly bint is only pregnant! Hah! The kind of thing that makes you put on weight and stop bleaching your hair. Don't you feel rather silly now, Heat Magazine?

Heehee. I love Peter O'Toole
He rocks. And he's very right.

After years and years of it being on the bookshelves, I have finally read Bridget Jones Diary. What a big pile of tosh. The character is great, as is her narrative - very funny and something most women can relate to. But the plot was the most pointless dance around I've ever suffered. Uck. Working Title were taking a big risk when they made Bridget Jones II - they were lucky to have scraped together one decent movie from the material provided. The movie I feel, by the by, is far superior to the book - a rarity in book-film adaptations, with more interesting plot lines, and thankfully emliminating the more irritating parts of the book. (Like her mother's criminal escapades - for fucks sake!)
I don't think I'll bother reading Edge of Reason somehow.

At what point is it all right to elbow a commuter who has fallen asleep and is leaning against you more and more? My personal space bubble has been violated.

It's a bit of a theme around the blogs at the moment for using that funky function on word to summarise your work. Now, I've probably done it wonky, as plays are gonna work differently than novels - but my, I found the results amusing:
PLAY
Nathan Nathan.
Jude Nathan. Nathan. Nathan. Nathan Jude…
Nathan Jude?
Nathan Jude?
Nathan Jude…
Jude Nathan!
Jude Nathan…
WTF? There are more than two characters in that play, I promise!
SWITCH
Archer Tyler! Tyler Archer! Tyler Tristan! Tristan Tyler…
Tyler Robyn. Tyler! Tyler Archer?
Tyler Archer!
Tyler (TR) Tyler?
Tristan Tyler!
Hmmm, noticing a bit of a pattern to the weirdness here
TECHNICALLY SPEAKING
SARAH Louise… JULIAN Louise! Louise!
JULIAN Louise!
LOUISE Julian!
LOUISE Julian!
Louise & Julian
Louise & Julian
Louise & Julian
Julian & Louise
For those of you who know that play, I think that's quite amusing
CORPSING
…Kizzy!
Kizzy Anna! Janie KIZZY?!
Kizzy Janie! Janie Kizzy! Kizzy Janie!
Anna? Anna! Kizzy Janie?
Kizzy!
WAKING
Brian Right. Brian Well?
Jamie Brian? Jamie Yeah.
Jamie Yeah. Jamie Shoelaces.
Jamie Men.
Brian Men?
Jamie Yeah. Jamie Brian!
Actually, that one's not bad!
Just to put it all in context, and prove that actually all my dialogue is not taken up with people's names, here's a the same kind of summary for THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST:
JACK Cecily! ALGERNON Gwendolen! CECILY Uncle Jack! Cecily! Cecily! Cecily! Algernon!
Algernon!
ALGERNON Cecily! JACK Gwendolen!
Heh.

Why Desperate Housewives Is Fast Becoming One of My Favourite Shows
Bree and Rex trying to pick a control word for their upcoming Dominatrix session:
Bree Um... how about Boysie?
Rex Boysie?
Bree What's wrong with Boysie?
Rex We're doing psychological role playing here, Bree - and a funny word like Boysie will ruin the mood. We need something that sounds serious.
Bree (thinking a moment) How about Palestine?
Rex (A beat) Boysie will be just fine.
Genius.

Apparently Brooke Shields is going to do a stint in Chicago on the West End. If you wanna know what my sister might've looked like had she not suffered from stage fright at a young age, go along and watch it! Brooke Shields is starting to look a little scary though, so I'm relieved my sister chose the Fat Arse route instead.
Not that she can't be scary in her own right - you just TRY and refuse cake at her house and see how many bin bags you end up in!
And along trundles the political train - I'm not in a grown up mood yet, so I shall refrain from rants for now. For now.
Over at Bron's site there's a bit of a to-do over her many fancy men. Take a look at the pics and stuff, and hopefully soon she'll describe her dilemma a bit (or if she can't over there we may have to over here). My intention is to put up a poll sometime soon so you may all vote and make a decision for her.
In time.

Is it just me, or is it getting more and more difficult to tell the difference between Mariah Carey and Beyonce?

I know - I am a neglectful parent to my blog-child.
Not been especially busy - more especially lazy. I can feel myself starting to climb out of that though, which can only be a good thing. Plus I've been writing, which is always a good sign.
So, still on the same job. Every week it's ending, and every week it starts again. Welcome to my unpredictable lifestyle. Back full time next week for at least 2 weeks, if not a bit more, so my bank account should be feeling happier soon. Been offered a job on their next one too, which would be perfect if it wasn't four months away. It's a possibility though - I'm certainly not ruling it out. Would also mean at last that significant bump up in wages. Woohoo.
Finally have Cheesy back around the flat, been watching lots of Series 3 of 24. The Yappety Dog was right - there are a lot of stupid decisions made. But it was suitably enthralling despite this. Will probably be another couple of years before I see any of series 4.
For those of you who haven't yet, try watching Fingersmith on BBC on Sunday - though might be a little late to join it. The book is great, though I'm a little surprised at the way they've adapted it so far. It could be a lot better.
Ooh, and Casanova comes to BBC1 on Monday at 9pm. I caught the first episode whilst at home the other week, and it really is quite interesting. Anything that has Peter O'Toole playing an aged Casanova is genius in my book.
Didn't think much of Dr Who - although Mr Eccleston was very good in the role, the special effects were dire.
Hmmm. I've been watching too much TV, haven't I?
