Notes from the Underground

The only time anyone ever asks the secretary, "How are you doing today?" is when it's immediately followed by, "Could you do me a favor?"

Bad Aesthetics

So if I told you that I'd finally read The Fellowship of the Ring (after 5 or 6 attempts) and that I still prefer the movie to the book, would you hate me?

(bear in mind my delicate psyche, as described below).

Unrecognized Angst

Your Existing Situation
Orderly, methodical, and self-contained. Needs the respect, recognition, and understanding of those close to her.
Your Stress Sources
The situation is regarded as threatening or dangerous. Outraged by the thought that she will be unable to achieve her goals and distressed at the feeling of helplessness to remedy this. Over-extended and feels beset, possibly to the point of nervous prostration.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to become emotionally involved. Feels that things stand in her way, that circumstances are forcing her to compromise and forgo some pleasures for the time being.
Your Desired Objective
Over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming. Longs for interesting and exciting things to happen and wants to be admired for her charm.
Your Actual Problem
Agitation, unpredictability, and irritation accompanying depleted vitality and intolerance of further demands have all placed her in a position in which she feels menaced by her circumstances. Feeling powerless to remedy this by any action of her own, she is desperately hoping that some solution will provide a way of escape.

Color Me Surprised

Go here and take this test and see what you think.

I thought it was dead right.

Very Accurate (except for the wine bit)



You're France!

Most people think you're snobby, but it's really just that
you're better than everyone else. At least you're more loyal to the real
language, the fine arts, and the fine wines than anyone else. You aren't
worth beans in a fight, unless you're really short, but you're so good at other
things that it usually doesn't matter. Some of your finest works were
intended to be short-term projects.
