today on as the world turns
This must be the week for the weird and unexpected. First the startling advent of the Week of the Killer Quizzes, then Elessar breaks his leg, and now a near brush with an actual tornado. ::snort from corner:: Yes, Sev, I'm over-dramatizing a little: the tornado veered to the north shortly before it was due to pass through my area. But I was still librarian-in-charge while the storm raged---yes, *raged*---outside the branch, and I did get to prepare for a worst case scenario.

At any rate, the weather's a little quieter now, so there's nothing to keep us from getting to the quizzes. Right? No glow-in-the-dark ink on black parchment tonight, I'm afraid. ::grumble and ringing of glass against glass::

Victoria, Queen of England

You were Queen Victoria. Ascending to the throne in the tumultuous Industrial Revolution in England, Victoria ruled in a time where progress was at its highest pace. She was the first English monarch to have her picture taken by the revolutionary camera and she strategically married off all of her children and grandchildren to secure alliances within and outside of Europe. She was also a great believer in morality and family and was keen to uphold an image of purity and of a close knit family. When her much loved husband died, she remained in deep mourning for the rest of her life, always wearing black even many years after his death. She was a very stable and sensible woman who went on to become the longest serving ever English monarch and one of the most popular.
Which Famous Queen Were You in a Past Life?

I hear both good and bad things about Victoria, but I can't think of any queen who would be a more fitting result. Of course, my knowledge of queens in general is rather limited....



Muppet Babies!

You scored 40 Aggression and 45 Silliness!

Creative and funny, you're the Muppet Babies! To be honest, I never watched this show when it was on, but I feel like I missed something special. You have the ability to find magic in everyday situations. You're also not afraid to stand up for what you believe in. Good for you!
The 80s Cartoon Personality Test

Perfect. I love that show.



You're the Virginia & Truckee!

Though you don't have much to be angry about, you really like to blow off steam. People think that you come from simple, even common heritage, citing your history with mountainous miners, but you know that you have some royal blood in you. This doesn't keep you from having a bit of interest in the wild west as well, however, and you enjoy a good poker game as much as the next. If you were a lode, it would be the Comstock.

The Trains and Railroads Quiz

Wahoo! I know absolutely nothing about this topic, but I'm liking my result anyway. :)

Elizabeth I Queen of England!
You were Elizabeth I. Perhaps the most famous European monarch of all time, Elizabeth I faced so many difficulties to ascend the throne that when she eventually got there she was a very determined, courageous woman, hardened by her hardships. She had a fiery temper and if she decided she wanted to do something, little could stop her! She was a great Queen who led England to victory against the Spanish and left her mark as one of the most positive absolute monarchs to have ruled England, which after the terrible 'bloody' Mary must have been a relief to the English people.

You're the Egyptian State Railways!

An intriguing blend of ancient traditions and modern methods,
you are a bit perplexing to those around you. Most are so drawn to this
fascinating blend, however, that you have little trouble attracting
others. Your ideas take unique shape and tend to grow to enormous size,
while your creativity can flow for miles. Though you prefer more classic
means of transportation, if you have to fly then you take Delta.

These are both so, so you, Czarina. I can't think of a better monarch for you than Elizabeth I, and you definitely have uniquely shaped ideas that grow to enormous size....

I was indeed well pleased with these. Also, don't worry about being Intrepid class. You totally surrvied the Delta Quadrant, the Borg Queen on at least 3 occasions, greatest recorded number of first contacts in the history of the fleet, and had a woman Captian,who while inconsistantly written, was a large step forward.
