I know that I haven't updated hear in a while.  I will, I swear.  For right now though I find myself caught up in this damned non-meme thing that's going 'round the friends LJs.  Since I am a man of my word, I'm actually going to do as the instructions tell me and repost the damned thing on my LJ. 

Meme: Reply to this post, and I will list three things I love about you. Maybe more than three. Then repost to your own journal and spread the love.

I also now realize that I am going to have to go on some kind of diatribe is, in fact, not a meme.  Another time, and soon.

My pirate name is:


Black William Rackham



Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

I found this thing over at the blog of actress Felicia Day, who played Vi in the last season of Buffy. It's a questionnaire that tells you what House from the Song of Ice and Fire series you would belong to given your personality traits. I'm sure most of you guys on George R.R. Martin's boards have already done this, but I hadn't yet had the chance. I've only read the first book, so I don't know if this quite fits me or not, but I'll roll with the punch.

Also, Jesus, couldn't they have made the image a little bit smaller?


Your Score: House Targaryen


54% Dominant, 63% Extroverted, 72% Trustworthy




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.

default, party
I remember doing this a couple of years back with my friend Nora and getting some funny hits.  [info]harrytheheir reminded me this internetting game through the amazing beauty that is [info]kemidra.  Simply type the phrase "[your name] looks like" in your favourite search engine, replacing the [your name] with your actual name and you get some fun hits.  Some of my favourites for "Michael" today are...

...looks like a cheap crackwhore

Michael looks like a penguin.

In some of those photos, Michael looks like he's playing naked.

Michael looks like drag queen in one of Pauls porn videos.

Michael looks like a bizarre freak of nature

Michael looks like a hot college kid on the way to tennis with his friends.


What do you look like, hmmmmmmm?

NerdTests.com says I'm a Slightly Dorky High Nerd.  What are you?  Click here! 

 
Seen on the LJ of the fantastic [info]babyraven.  Apparently having somewhere around ten books on the life of Alexander the Great and having read them all makes me a History nerd.  I thought that it might just make me a strange breed of fag hag.  

By the way, Robin Lane Fox is cool and all.  Mary Renault's Nature was an interesting overview of his life and, more interestingly, his personality.   But you haven't read about Alexander until you've read the Campaigns by Arrian.  That's the real shit, son.

So here are all of the songs, and the artists that performed them, from my non-meme thing from over here.  I'm not sure how many people were actually trying to guess the responses, but out of the twenty five songs I posted only three were guessed correctly.  Macgrrl and JLPullen, a good job from both of you.  Now hang your heads in shame.

09- "How do you do it?  This bitter and bloody world, Keep it together and shine for your family"  Sleater-Kinney, "Night Light"
10- "Yeah, I'm from the illest part of the Western Hemisphere, So if you into sight seein don't visit there, It's somewhere between Jersey and Delaware, Philly never scared and them niggaz ain't timid there." The Roots, "In the Music"
11- "I've got a dungeon master's guide, I've got a twelve-sided die."  Weezer, "In the Garage" (as guessed by [info]macgrrl)

18- "Somehow I ended up here in between, where there is always the comfort of knowing I'll never be seen" AFI, "The Despair Factor"
19- "When i used to go out I would know everyone that I saw, Now I go out alone if I go out at all" The Walkmen, "The Rat"
20- "Things are feeling thin, I know, I know, lost my seat again, where I'll go, I'll go." The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "The Pin"

25- "Help me in , Hold me under, Don't give in, Feel me struggle" Sunna "O.d"

As you can see from this random selection of music, with its eclectic country blues, its fuzzed-out noise metal, its post-Brit Pop guitar tomfoolery, its blast-from-the-past goth/industrial music, its cool-from-four-years-ago indie tracks, its hip-grinding sex music from across the genre borders, and its two deep-in-the-crates Roots tracks, I used to work in a record store. 

Actually, I've worked in two.
