And THESE are the reasons I'll never hear The Ninth or Carmina Burana the same way again: )
 
 
 
 
 
 
I eschewed the obvious ones, like "MINE!!" or "BUSTED!!" or even "MY PRECIOUS..." for these:

Your result for The Social Persona Test (What kind of man/woman are you?)...

Lord of the Misfits (QLAM)

Quirky Liberal Alpha Male

You are similar to The Fratt Boy, in that you often try to take care of peers you percieve as less successful, but with the added benefit that you actually understand those on the fringes. You are a good ally to have, but people might be hurt if they believe your universal good will is a sign of a close friendship. You are nice to everyone, but you know who your true friends are. In terms of dating, you want someone who shares your interests; other than that, anything goes.


You are more QUIRKY than NORMAL.


You are more LIBERAL than TRADITIONAL.


You are more DOMINANT than PASSIVE.


When picking a date, consider: The Rarity (QTAF), The Renaissance Faire Wench (QLAF), The Librarian (QTBF), or The Emo Girl (QLBF)

Dear T,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our romance is over. I think I realized it last year when you peed your pants under a street light and I saw you hit on the Catholic Priest. I'm sure you're frostbitten enough to understand that Santa doesn't exist. I'm returning our matching snoopy underwear to you, but I'll keep your glass eye as a memory. You should also know that I love your sweet, sweet ass and thanks for the Cocaine.

Go drown yourself.

--M.

Wanna send your own love letter? Here's how!! )

Edgar Allan Poe: Five Essentials for the Betterment of a Story

In a recently-found treatise, Poe* set down the following advice for bettering a story:

1. Employ an unreliable narrator, preferably one who doesn’t know he is insane and has no recollection of such events as digging into a grave to rip out the teeth of his recently departed lover.

2. Include a beautiful woman with raven locks and porcelain skin, preferably quite young, and let her die tragically of some unknown ailment.

3, Use grandiloquent words, such as heretofore, forthwith, and nevermore. A little Latin will also enhance the text.

4. Do not shy away from such grotesqueries as inebriation, imprisonment, insanity, and men costumed as orangutans being burned to death.

5. When in doubt, bury someone alive.

[* - Poe didn’t really compose this advice, but, as he was fond of a good hoax, we hope he would be pleased by this affectionate charade.]
 
 
 
 
 
 
Using ONLY SONG TITLES from ONE artist, cleverly answer these questions.

Big surprise: BRUCE. )

After much grumbling (big surprise) and under extreme duress, I have joined Facebook. (sigh) Don't expect me to be on it much; it's just for random invites and shit. Friend me if you wish, but I'll still be doing most of my communications (such as they are) on LJ - where literacy is (presumably) MANDATORY.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Funny how Square Root Day this year is followed immediately by National Grammar Day. Guess it's a bonus for the (pitifully few) people like me who scored exactly the same in Math and Verbal. Just proves to y'all that I'm just as competent as most of you fuckers; I just didn't min-max my goddamn stats!!

Nonetheless, it's a good excuse to haul this out - I've been absently collecting the List of Rock & Roll's WORST Grammatical Violations. I had a bunch stockpiled, but as of this moment I can only think of:

"'Til the stars fall from the sky, for YOU AND I." - The Doors, "Touch Me"

"We'll get there FAST and then we'll take it SLOW." - Beach Boys, "Kokomo"

"I wish I WAS in LA." - Mamas & Papas, "California Dreaming"

"I know you got another man, but I can love you BETTER THAN HIM." - Black Crowes, "Hard to Handle"

"I CAN'T GET NO satisfaction." - duh.

Any other obvious ones I've missed? Sigh. Can't wait for Mondegreen Day. (smirk)
