play a good game
I feel so accomplished today! It's not even mid-afternoon and I've gotten my hair cut, found a sundress to take on my vacation in July, and completed three quizzes for this, Day 2 of the Week of the Killer Quizzes. Shall we, Sev? ::stumbles into furniture:: You know, it's awfully dark down here...but at least it's cool. And considering how hot it is outside, I can't say I regret the lack of candlelight. Less chance of setting the parchments on fire, as well, I suppose. Now I just need to find you. Sev? Sev...? Aha! There you are....

Bass

Your tones are the most pleasing to the human ear. You are relaxed and chill. You are a quiet slow beat among the hustle and bustle of every day life. You prefer to stay away from the high strung, stressful lifestyle some might like.
What Instrument Are You?

I love bass. Really. I want to melt into a puddle when I hear it---or feel it, I guess, since I'm not sure the human ear can actually "hear" bass, as such. And the description suits me fairly well. I can handle stress, and I like to move fast, but I prefer the overall pace of my life to be steady, strong, and calm. Ah...I've got to find a good bass song now....




The "Nice" Guy

34% Cthlulhu-ness!

Yeah, you're trying.... You probably think that you're a good person and you probably follow the tenets of whatever religious Ponzi scheme you subscribe to, for all the good that will do you. Too bad, no one will protect you from the coming destruction from beyond the stars.
Lovecraft Multiphasic Personality Inventory (LMPI) Test

It's worth reading Lovecraft just for taking quizzes like this. (And playing Arkham Horror, of course.) And, hey, I'm higher in Cthulu-ness than 57% of my peers, so maybe I'll manage to deflect the coming destruction from beyond the stars by the time it gets here. Bwahahahaha!




You are Jack O'Neill
You are a born leader. You are often cynical. You are loyal to the end, but you are no brainiac.

So I know it's been a while since SG-1 was actually on television, but my love for this show---and all its characters---is unending. And since its latest incarnation is crap, all the more reason to return to the original. I love that I got Jack. Not sure about the born leader part, and I'm more often sarcastic than cynical, but I'm definitely loyal. And as far as the no brainiac bit...well, the next character I'm most like is Daniel, and since he's a genius, that sorts that, hmm? :) Oh, Stargate SG-1, how I miss your snarky loveliness....

Hooray for productive days! And sundresses! And I will get to see it IN PERSON!! Okay, I'm calm again.

Bass fits well enough, but makes you sound more sedate then I would peg you as. If I played in a band, I'd probably want to play bass (or drums.) I love rhythm. But classical bass is cool too. One the instruments that plays in every group is seems. (We had one in symphonic band, the orchestra, the jazz band)

I need to read some Lovecraft. I had no idea what/who Cthulhu was until rather recently. (A friend of mine took up roller derby and choose the moniker Kate-thulhu.) I love that they use Jimmy Stewart picture for the Nice Guy.

It's funny because I would have guessed you would be Daniel. I guess I don't think of you as cynical and I think you're more intelluctual then Jack... but loyal is dead on and Jack is totally fun.

I was expecting to be Daniel, as well. But maybe there was just one question that tipped me over to the Jack result. And since I love Jack, I'm not going to complain. :) As for the bass...you know, I'm not sure what I'd play in a band. I love string instruments, so I suspect I'd want to play something like bass or cello or fiddle, but I've so little musical aptitude that I'm really not sure. I recently learned there's such a thing as rhythm guitar---while reading a very, very good book called The War for the Oaks, which I highly recommend---so maybe I'd play that? It's not bass, but it's not lead guitar either....

I'm so excited you'll get to see the dress! It's this (http://www.windsorstore.com/shop_detail.aspx?id=98372&lcid=745), but it looks much, much better on me...which I can honestly admit I've never been able to say before. :D

I think I was expecting to come up Sam, but I like Daniel, so I'm not going to complain either. And I think rhythm guitar would be a good compromise.
I love the dress! So fun! :D

You would be an excellent Sam! Hmm. Maybe the quiz tries to reflect our inner SG-1 character, but we're so well-rounded it can't help but give us a different result. Yeah....
