Sorry about that, thatdamnelf (-5000 points). In May I ruled Asscrackistan as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). Last month I ruled Canada as a cruel and heartless dictator (-700 points).

and all i have to say is :
"wheesil, wheesil"
Your Score: The FerretYou scored 51% domestic, 33% gregarious, 53% trickster, and 50% intellect! Domestic, Solitary, Emotional Trickster: you are the Ferret! Curious, mischievous, high-energy. Ferret people are often playful spirits with a calculating mind. Ferret medicine teaches resourcefulness, self-reliance, and ingenuity.
This test categorized you based on four different axes of personality, which were then associated with a different animal. The four axes, as well as all possible results are explained below.
Wild/Domestic: This first axis categorizes you based on how much you are drawn to the outdoors, versus how much you are drawn to civilized situations. Domesticity has many shapes and forms, and varies from the joy of dolphins leaping next to a ship to the steadfast loyalty of a family dog.
Gregarious/Solitary: This axis measures how solitary you are. If you scored high, it means that you enjoy the company of other people, while a low score indicates that you prefer a more solitary lifestyle.
Trickster/Serious: This axis measures how well you line up with conventional trickster archetypes. People who fall into this archetype have a sense of humor and an excitable, highly chaotic streak. Scoring low doesn't mean that you don't have a sense of humor; it just means that you probably don't think dynamite is very funny.
Intellectual/Emotional: This last axis determines whether you are more emotional -- acting based on feelings and instinct, or rational and intelectual -- acting more on thought than on your gut feelings.

And it is so odd, I just finished reading this series of books. The first two were had been sitting on my self in the back, and I realized that they wern't the books I thought they were and hadn't actually read them. So I picked them up and finished the third last week. And now I find that they have been turned into a movie. Neat! |

So we are making arrangements for me and the kids to move out of the house. I know that there are divorce papers on her desk. I read her words and tears well up and my heart stops, and I can’t breath. I hate where we are. I hate that I haven't kept my promises. Promises I made to her and the one I made to myself. I hate myself for not being what she needs. I lost my happiness and I haven't been able to find it. I can’t find joy in my life, I can’t enjoy my kids.
Something that I composed when I was at a low point on Sunday morning;
“I am filled with a sadness
not profound or mysterious,
just a sadness, like cold water.
It is sadness that drowns even my little joys.
I sink and can’t find anything to hold on to.
I know there are hands reaching for me,
but the darkness hides them from me.
I want to make her happy, but I know I can’t unless I can find my own happiness. I want to be the companion to follow her dreams with. Fear and guilt are the only thing that prevents me from doing these things with her. Fear and shame keep me from opening up my soul to her. Fear keeps me from giving her my heart.
I find my self feeling alone in crowded rooms because I am so afraid of opening up and letting anyone close enough to me to see how frightened I am.
I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to be away from her,
I want her to be happy
I want to be happy
I have made promise that I have not kept, I have failed my kids, I have failed my wife, I have failed my self.
I love her so much
So I will leave her to find her happiness. I owe her that and so much more.
Even as I read this back to myself part of me scream and rails in the back of my mind:
"promise her the world, we can do it this time." but I have lost faith in myself, just as she has...
And another part of my mind keeps showing me how happy she was without me...
and I feel terrible sadness welling up, knowing that I couldnt give that to her, and that i was keeping her from finding it for herself..
and I want to walk away and vanish into the darkness... |

The final installment met every expectation that the second did not. I tore through this volume as the story flew by. Magnificent ending with a truly "whats in the box" moment. (Barton Fink reference for those of you who don't know what I mean) 9 out of 10 scales. |

This is the second in a trilogy and suffers, (I believe)a small amount of TwoTowers syndrome. Still worth the read, but the "twists" near the end are almost enought to make one put the book down. I didn't and plan to read the third soon. 6 out of 10 scales. |

Great SciFi. Well written characters and a well paced plot. Found my self torn between sympathy for Tarrant and irritation at Damien. 7 out of 10 scales. |

Solid sci-fi. I did not realize it was part of a series. Interesting take on the Galactic "federation" and where Terrans fit in it. Odd quote inspired by the book: "the dolphins speak in haiku." 6 out of 10 scales |

Gibson, William
http://www.williamgibsonbooks.com/index.asp
I have been a big fan for many years. I find that his “future” seem to be the most accurate and most reachable. In a multitude of circumstances I have found my self muttering “How Gibsonian” in reaction to some new bit of tech or some shift in cultural being.
I have always felt that his books should be read in rapid-fire bursts, preferably while in motion.
I have just finished Pattern Recognition. I am thoroughly please with it. The “backtracking” chronologically found in his more recent stories is well executed and the incorporation of the 9/11 tragedy was poignant and seamlessly done.
8 out of 10 scales |

Moore, Christopher
http://www.chrismoore.com/bookpage.asp?PB_ISBN=0380813815
After reading the The Stupidest Angel, I decided to give Christopher Moore the same chance I give most authors. I picked anouther title and gave it a whirl. I have become a fan. This book had greater depth tha Angel, but maintained the smart humor. I love the "alternative" view of the events portrayed. As interesting as Life of Brian http://imdb.com/title/tt0079470/ with out the British dourness.
6 out of 10 scales |
