Friday Quizzage

Woot! Quizzage returns and here's one special for Valentine's Day tomorrow.

You Are Chocolate

You make people feel euphoric and dreamy. You're very addicting. You definitely drive people to passion, lust, and even obsession. While you are quite sensual, you are also comforting. You sure know how to work your magic. It doesn't take long to get someone to love you.

What Aphrodisiac Are You?

Instead of quizzage today, I'm sharing this fabulous video.

Book o' the Week

I think I mentioned this before, but I'm reading Charles Dickens's The Mystery of Edwin Drood. I was in the musical last October and happened to find a copy--sans extensive notes--at my neighbourhood new and used bookstore. I'd forgotten how long it takes to read Dickens. Good thing this one is relatively short and made shorter by the fact that he died before he finished it. It's interesting comparing the characters in the book to the versions of them created by Rupert Holmes for the show. I want to beat the Rosa Bud in the book with a large stick, she's such a vapid twit, and I think I won't be sorry when Edwin vaishes and is believed dead. I'm looking forward to finishing and coming up with my own theory of whodunit. :)

Friday quizzage!

I missed last Friday. D'oh! Ah well.

The Sonnet Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLD) Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed? Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They're conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that's okay, because you're very choosy with your affections anyway. You'd absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance. Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You're already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there's no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so. You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls. Your exact female opposite: Genghis Khunt Random Brutal Sex Master Always avoid: The 5-Night Stand (DBSM), The False Messiah (DBLM), The Hornivore (RBSM), The Last Man on Earth (RBSD) Consider: The Loverboy (RGLM)

What's she reading this Wednesday?

Actually, I'm in the midst of three books right now. The one I was reading this morning is one I received for Christmas from a friend who knows me well. It's The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin. I'm diggin' it. It is only vaguely linear and follows the charmingly disfunctional life of one man. It's fascinating reading how he justifies all the patterns and rules he imposes on himself, the long and complex fantasies he builds for himself, and descriptions of how he interacts with each of the people in his insular world. Steve Martin is one of those hit-or-miss people for me. When he hits, it is dead on target. When he misses, his misses so completely I can't even describe it. This one, for me, is a hit. I recommend checking it out.

Change is so good!

As someone who works daily with words, I have to say how delightful and refreshing it is to once again have an eloquent president in the White House. President Obama's speech was beautiful and brilliant.

I feel better than I have in eight years.

Your Word is "Fearless"

You see life as your one chance to experience everything, and you just go for it! You believe the biggest risk is being afraid and missing out on something amazing. Sometimes your fearlessness means you're daring. You enjoy risky activities. And sometimes your fearlessness means you're courageous. You're brave enough to do the right thing, even when it's scary.

What's Your Word?

Hmm...I like it. :D
