Solar eclipses, like the one visible in India and across Southeast Asia today, have often inspired violence, fear, and superstition in the past. What do they signify to you?

You scored 38% intelligence, 15% compassion, 41% sense of humor, and 31% weirdness!
Ah, the comedian! But a *capable* clown. You like to come across as a lovable goof, but in reality you're a genius who succumbs to occasional absent-mindedness. You know when to cut and run, and you know when you deny authority, no matter how laughable you sound. Your turn-ons include Charlie Chaplin, The Beatles, men in kilts, women in catsuits, flutists, and your giddy aunt. Your turn-offs include omnipotent beings who like to interfere with your affairs, the ever-persistent Cybermen (heck, you don't even like cybersex!), and thinking about the lisping dandy you'll eventually become.
Your kitchen is manned by a team of Keebler Drow Elves. There's a pantry stocked with beef jerky. Oh, and deer jerky. Your master bedroom is decorated to look like the treetop village of the Galadhrim. Your study has every fantasy novel ever written, including multiple editions of the Silmarillion and advance copies of Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition. One of your garages contains a life-sized X-Wing fighter, and KITT. (KITT was a gift from a well-meaning uncle.)
Your home also includes a roost for griffons. You've never actually seen a griffon, but you keep the roost ready anyway. Your guests enjoy your home theater with hi-def plasma screen TV, and the thrones you watch it from. Outside is the moat that protects your home from goblin invaders and extended family.
And, you have a pet -- a unicorn named "Shadowhooves".
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you are a tough person. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education. Arr!
Ancient. Noble. Passionate to the point of insanity. Transcending lesser beings, you are of House Targaryen.
You are a dominant personality—in fact, you are the most dominant of all eight house types. You will not suffer yourself to be ignored. You will not suffer yourself to be ruled. The phrase "I will not suffer myself to _____!" was practically made for you. You are willful, arrogant, and exceedingly dangerous to screw with. With a temper like yours, anyone stupid enough to saunter into your line of fire won’t soon forget their mistake.
You are also extroverted, which means that everyone in the world knows exactly what your intentions are. Unlike your cohorts (who hide behind smiles and courtesies and court politics), you think of it as your birthright to come riding in on an enormous dragon, breathing fire and fucking your siblings. Hey, what you lack in subtlty, you make up in style!
Finally, you are trustworthy. Your absurd amounts of power and borderline psychosis are not used unjustly. Unlike many, your general aims are just and true. You we bred for rule, and the fact that you cannot rest until you are doing so is not your fault. If you make up your mind, it becomes reality. Never one for empty threats or vainglorious lies, you can only speak the truth. And the truth is "fire and blood."
Representative characters include: Daenerys Stormborn, Rhaegar Targaryen, and Viserys Targaryen
Similar Houses: Baratheon, Lannister,and Tully
Opposite House: Frey
When playing the game of thrones, you play it to the death.
You scored 11% grit, 23% wit, 57% flair, and 14% class!
You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.
I love this because of its combination of both of my favorite stories and the similarities between the two. Also I love it for its wit and humor. My favorite lines are:
"Are these ladies sharing notes?"
"Don't jump!"
I also love the fact that it shows us no matter how similar the stories there can be different outcomes.
Got good grades in school this semester and brought me up to my desired GPA. I've been watching so many movies lately what with the online netflicks deal. I've also had time to read a few good books and get in a bit of writing. And luckily I also have had the chance to get in some hours for work.
I vow this, I will be there both days at Scarby this weekend, I have no excuse this time to stay away. Last weekend there was my sisters graduation and mothers day, not to mention a babysitting job and car troubles. But this weekend I have reasons to go out. Schools out, I have friends who are desperate to come including my lill (taller) sis who will be elegantly dressed.
I can't wait to see all of you this weekend, especially considering how much has happened since I've been gone.
But, I gtg to sleep now so I can get up and work again. Ahhh inventory work, yay. :p

Your colours are the dark green of the sea and silver, but also azure and gold. You are likely romantic, gentle, intelligent and curious. However, you may sometimes appear moody or weary. You could try wearing a Sardonyx; it inspires stamina, energy and creativity and thus brings you a bit closer to harmony.
In detail:
Your Heart Chakra, which is associated with the element of water and represents our sense of love and compassion, and your Throat Chakra, which is associated with the element of wind and represents our desire to learn and communicate, are predominant.
Your Ground Chakra, which is associated with the element of fire and represents our basic desires and driving force, and your Creative Chakra, which is associated with the element of earth and represents our need to preserve and grow, are not quite as prominent.
These are the results you will get if you score highly on...
So..... interesting question. The bit of poetry on my site, you know ... on the picture that shows up between each entry. What do y'all think of the poetry? It isn't mine, it came with the pic, but I am just wondering how y'all read it. Thanks!
You are Catherine Parr, sixth, and final, wife of Henry. You are known for your patience and calm manner. Though not the prettiest, brightest, cleverest,most devout, or strong, you are a good person who knows how to handle her temper. Good for you!
You are a demon.You: You are smart, adventurous, and funny, but you anger easily. You have a tight group of friends. You go to extremes in life and take risks. People are attracted to you for your outgoing and daring personality, but you often push them away. You dont like to be popular or in the spotlight. Youre original and do things your way. You just want to have fun.Your Other: Your other will be devoted and loving. He/She will be just as risky as you and always willing to try new things. You will have a deep relationship but never anything very serious, like marriage. Your kiss will be long, playful, and passionate and will be at its best in the rain. Your weakness: Rejection and failure. This is something that you arent used to. You find yourself being the rejecter and the one setting standards, so when you fail or are rejected you find yourself feeling worthless and jealous.Your animal: Your animal is the dolphin. It may sound weird, but you have a lot in common with these playful creatures. Take this quiz!
Woke up without my voice and after an hour of trying to get ready for school I started to feel feverish, as in really cold and sensitive to changes in temperature. Luckily I was able to get myself ready for school on time and finish my assignment. Luckily too my class decided to sit outside today so the fresh air and sun has really helped me get my barings back. Now I'll make myself some good old fashion chicken noodle soup and get some clear soda, my moms recipe for recovery.
I'm really glad I don't have to work tonight. I can curl up and read plays and poems for class and then watch one of my first favorite movies: The Last Unicorn.
