And so we come to the end. I'm a little relieved this year, actually. Not that it wasn't fun, but with everything going on this week, I didn't get to enjoy the Week of the Killer Quizzes as much as I usually do. Although I will say that I had a lot more fun today than I did earlier this week. Shall we, Sev? ::gramophone starts a crackling waltz:: I think we shall.

Strange Days 6 shaman, 7 reveller, 13 exile, 11 nihilist and 0 other You scored highest in Exile, so your Doors song is Strange Days. It is the dark and brooding masterpiece that starts off the album of the same name, which is undoubtedly the most grim and pessimistic album the Doors ever recorded. Like almost everything else on the album, this song is about alienation and being out of touch with the world, but it is not so much about being different from other people as it is about being different from the world itself, being one of the countless people overwhelmed by the changing times and the general confusion and madness of modern existence ... which if anything has only gotten worse since 1967. The song sets the theme for the entire album, with its cover picture of circus freaks and bizarre performers. Strange Days is the most direct statement The Doors ever made about how people can feel like a stranger in their own homeland ... how the longer we live in this world, the less we seem to understand it ... how in the end, nobody really knows what the fuck is going on. And how we are dragged day by day into an even stranger future. Strange days have found us. If you don't believe me, take a look around ...

Which Doors Song Are You?

Apart from the BS tacked on the end of my result about how he/she came up with this test and the rant right before I got my result about how only Bad Things Happen when you replace mathematicians with psychologists on a quiz website, etc. this was a really good quiz. I'm especially delighted that my result is different from the sweetness and light I usually get. I'm not a huge Doors fan, but I love "People Are Strange," and I definitely feel separated from the rest of the world often, so this is perfect.

You are the Tree Pose! You are a well-grounded, down-to-earth person. Not much shakes you. You can remain steady through a crisis - and other people lean on you. You have high standards and morals. You easily rise above pettiness. While people sometimes accuse you of being stubborn, you are able to shift focus when you need to.

What Yoga Pose Are You?

I was hoping for the Eagle pose, as it's tremendous fun, but I'm glad I ended up with a balancing pose. And I think it hits most of the highlights of my person, even the stubbornness. :)

The Honest Soul You are a talkative, open kind of person. You wear your heart on your sleeve, and you trust people not to break it. In a way, you are as honest and trusting as a child. You are comfortable with who you are and have a strong sense of self, but you are also a little sensitive. Hurtful remarks, especially from people whose opinion you value, have the power to wound you terribly. You tend to be open about your thoughts and opinions, and you find it difficult to hide your emotions from people. You like to share your thoughts, opinions, and emotions with people, and to hear theirs in return. When someone disagrees with you or offends you, you will take them up on it, whether they are friends or strangers. You don't mind a friendly debate, but become upset when things get hostile. You wish that people wouldn't take everything so personally, but simply think calmly about things. You have a close knit group of friends and family for whom you would sacrifice almost anything. You don't like big parties full of strangers - you would rather spend your time with the people whom you really care about. You need a private spot where you can retreat when the world gets to be too much, but you want to be able to emerge from your "den" and find your loved ones there to heap love and affection upon you. Your daemon would represent your loving, open nature, and he or she would probably spend a lot of time encouraging you to be independent and to do the right thing. Suggested forms: Dog, Otter, Marmoset, Saw-Whet Owl, Songbird, Chinchilla.

The Golden Compass Daemon Test

Even though I didn't enjoy the Golden Compass books, I can't help occasionally pondering what form my daemon would take. And this is an *awesome* way to find out. Everything in this result is true, but I'm especially impressed by the bit about not taking things personally. I can't count how many times in the past few weeks I've thought about that. At any rate, given the recommended forms, I think I'd probably have a large dog or a songbird as a daemon. Maybe a Rottweiler or a Blackbird?

The Victorian Era Your tastes are always changing, but one thing's certain; you always look impeccable, no matter what you wear. You like a guy who will play the Prince Charming, diamond ring and all, and who doesn't? There's a lightheartedness about you that makes you very likeable, but you also have a subtle sex appeal. You love a good story, no matter how far-fetched, and are good at telling them yourself.

In Which Era Do You Belong?

I was expecting to get the Edwardian era, but this description fits me very well. And much though I know I'd hate to wear all the corsets and bustles and crinolines and all, I do love the way the Victorians dressed.
