since the road goes ever on
My traveling (reading) companions and I read two chapters deeper into The Fellowship of the Ring today, so by rights I suppose I should be posting Tolkienesque quizzes tonight. Alas, finding good Tolkien quizzes is proving to be time-consuming, so while Sev tracks some down, I'll go ahead and share these:

You Have an Extremely Active Imagination

Your mind is vivid, lively, and colorful. There is a lot going on in your head. You have the ability to make pictures and movies in your mind. You are extremely visual.

Your creativity knows no bounds. You don't put restrictions or limits on your thoughts. You have a gift that other people wish they had. So exercise that imagination as much as you want!
How Active Is Your Imagination?

Hence my inability to watch horror movies. Or read scary stories at night. Or float on my back in the deep end of the swimming pool. (Sharks!) ...But it does keep me from getting bored...and allow me to imagine all sorts of fun and fascinating worlds...and assist me in my writing. So I suppose I'll keep it. ;)




You Are Most Like a White Oak

Steadfast and reliable, you are a source of strength to your friends. You’ve got great genes and will likely live a long life. You give generously, and people in need tend to rely on you for everything from a home-cooked dinner to a temporary home. If given a choice, you’ll be found enjoying a quiet day in the country rather than the noise and bustle of the big city. You’re a classic!

Predictable and reliable, White Oaks can live as long as several hundred years. They bear acorns, sometimes so many that they make a drumming noise when they fall. The tiny new leaves of the White Oak are pink-colored. Its wood is useful for making many items, including Japanese martial arts weapons. White Oaks don’t like urban conditions, preferring a more rural life. This native is the state tree of Illinois.
What Tree Are You?

See? This is why I need my active imagination. When you're a steadfast and reliable, rooted sort of person who's going to live a really long time, you have to be able to dream your way beyond your immediate surroundings. This is true, though: classic, preferring the country to the city, providing strength...I've even shifted into a more giving style of life in the last few months. But, oh, how I miss white oaks....




Flowers and Beads

Floral patterns are seen as relaxed and girly, just like you probably are! You like to look simply elegant and are not the type of person who would jump up on stage and do a silly dance just to make people happy. You believe in forgiveness and are probably a romantic person who loves the outdoors. You are relaxed, but not lazy, and are happiest doing something artsy. Your best friends are the musical and artistic people who really don't care what others think about them. You may come across as naive and meek, but deep down you are bold, but just don't know it yet. You probably wear small amounts of makeup, usually just pink or brown eye shadow and mascara. You present yourself as a carefree, sweet person who is giving and easy-going. You also don't like when things are unequal between different people, and you probably write poems or stories.
Hidden Messages In Your Style

I do love little feminine touches like floral patterns and beading, and the description captures my INFP and Persephone self exactly right. Excellent job, quiz!

Not surprisingly, I have to same sort of imagination you do. :) Though, I can float on my back in the deep end of a pool. ;)

--------------------------

Tree? I can handle this one. I like oaks, in general. And being an individualist? Yuppers.

You are most like a Bur Oak.
You’re a rugged individualist who doesn’t mind standing out from the crowd. You follow your own taste when it comes to fashion and style. You are independent, and place a high value on privacy. This, however, can lead to loneliness. Known for your thick skin, you have the strength to survive the toughest situations. Nothing can keep you down for long!

Bur Oaks have “tassels” or catkins in the spring and interesting fringed acorn caps in fall. Their fall leaves are brown, and wildlife such as bears and deer enjoy eating the acorns. Tough and solitary, Bur Oaks often stand alone out on the prairie. When fires burned through the forests and prairies, the Bur Oaks’ thick skin helped them survive, unscathed. It’s tough! The Bur Oak is the state tree of Iowa.

----------------------------

Hidden style? I wouldn't have chosen neon, precisely, but the description is accurate.


Neon and unprecedented

Your style is very eclectic! You couldn't care less about trends or following the in-crowd. If you want to wear knee socks, you will. If you want to wear orange eye shadow, you will. You have your own mind and don't need anyone telling you otherwise. These type of people are usually the funny ones who think equality and fairness is more important than anything. You may come across as nerdy or crazy, but you are still human and have feelings. You have great self-confidence and just want to world to be a better place. And when it comes to the spotlight, wherever you end up is where you stay, although you do prefer the background. You are accepting and tolerant.

I *know* there aren't sharks, but I can't help imagining them below me, circling, looking for food...it all becomes a little too real, and then I have to get out of the pool. :)

I love the bur oak and your hidden style, too. Not that I've ever imagined you as a neon person, either, but I like what it says about fairness and self-confidence and tolerance.
