Check out my Morality! 78% liberal, 22% conservative

You're Canada!

People make fun of you a lot, but they're stupid because you've got a much better life than they do. In fact, they're probably just jealous. You believe in crazy things like human rights and health care and not dying in the streets, and you end up securing these rights for yourself and others. If it weren't for your weird affection for ice hockey, you'd be the perfect person.

Off In the Corner by Myself    -Saturday, February 14, 2004   -11:59 pm-

I found a website called The Political Compass. It's an interesting test because it places you on two axes, rather than just Lefr/Right or Liberal/Conservative. For you Americans, Libertarian doesn't mean the Libertarian party in the context of this poll. It simply means someone who is socialy liberal. The questions in this poll are much better than average, some of them are actually difficult to answer. Once you get done with it, take a look at some of the other graphs they show. I find it interesting that all but two of the Democratic party canidates are Right-Authoritarian. No wonder I can't find anyone to vote for. My score was: Economic Left/Right: -7.12, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.56, meaning that I'm a liberal freak way out there beyond Gandi, Mandela, and the Dalai Lama.

I Had No Idea the Song was About a Drink!    -Saturday, February 14, 2004   -11:58 pm-

You're in the Gangster box.

Seductive Vampy: You were made to make a grand entrance, from that revealing ensemble to those come hither eyes. You are the sex scene. It's because of you that Goth girls have reputations as being total sex bombs. Go on, you know you're gorgeous and so does everyone else. This makes it a bit hard for your friends not to backstab you, they're so jealous of you aren't they? Your life revolves around what parties/clubs you are going to attend and which sexy new boi you are going to snare. You can dress yourself well, regardless of how much money you have to spend and you always look glamorous. Most people tend to think you are a shallow slut; however there is more going on then they could ever know. You're certainly not stupid. You've realized that life is too short to be chained to one unappreciative guy. You wear your slinky, sheer dress and skirts so that maximum flesh exposure is guaranteed. Your motto is "Catch me if you can"
What is your style of Gothic Beauty?

Which cocktail are you?

I Am An Impressive Geek    -Saturday, February 07, 2004   -6:47 pm-

For oh so many reasons. First of all, because I thought it would be amusing to take the quiz below. Then, because I knew what the answer meant. Finally, because I as I was pasting the html into my post, I noticed it used a table to lay out the answer and re-wrote the answer form to use good HTML4.01Strict/CSS1 code. It's now half as long and will render correctly in any browser I care about.
