Before Christmas is completely gone, I thought I ought to check out what randomness there's been this year in pointless seasonal quizzes.

Thank You Blogthings )

There might be more in another post :)

You Are a Drawing



You appreciate things that are simple and elegant.

You believe that complexity is mostly used to mask flaws.



You believe that art is about leaving more to the imagination.

The best art isn't overly showy or flashy. It subtly beautiful.

Your Soul Is Connected to the Fall



You are a somewhat sensitive soul with a tough exterior. You are street smart and wise about the world.

You have the heart of a poet, but you're not too eager to let anyone else see it.



You are very creative and deeply talented. You are still looking for the perfect outlet for your expression.

You embrace change and think the cycles of life are beautiful. You don't shrink away from the darker elements of life.

You Are a Yellow Flower



A yellow flower tends to represent joy, friendship, and playfulness.

At times, you are childlike, as a buttercup is.

And at other times, you are fickle, like a dahlia.

And more than you wish, you tend to feel bittersweet, like a marigold.



This makes me sound like Madeleine Bassett, which I am definitely not.

Well, what a surprise

Let's see if this DreamWidth/LiveJournal crossposting thing works :)

You were a Loner in High School!
QuizGalaxy.com
You didn’t really fit into any traditional group. You did your own thing and you were very interesting (and intimidating) to those around you.

Yay for the STS-119 mission going well so far. They got the solar panels installed (I've only seen them on the global position screen from MCC-H), and they fixed the ergo machine on Discovery - which begs the question, who broke it? :)

So here are some more Blogthings. Some of the answers are quite odd and so not me, but I like the icons that come with the answers.

Am really flagging with the studying, after six months of intense studying it's hard to keep up the required energy levels. I have some four-day weeks coming up soon, a combination of using up leave and then Easter, so hopefully I can be more productive then. The stuff is interesting, but it's not always what I want to do after a hard day's work, especially if I haven't had enough sleep. After this course is done there's a break for the summer, and after that I'm thinking of two more short courses to make up enough for the Certificate in Contemporary Sciences - the maths course and the weather/climate course. Don't know after that, I guess there's plenty I could choose from if I want to study something else, like psychology or Internet stuff or languages or Shakespeare.

Anyway, these are fun. Some more Blogthings. )

Your Valentine's Day Personality is Practical



As far as you're concerned, Valentine's Day is simply a commercial holiday.

You don't place any real meaning on it. You don't think it deserves too much celebration.



For you, Valentine's Day is just the day you avoid restaurants and candy stores.

If you love someone, you already show it. You don't need to go all out for a silly holiday to prove your love.



I'm waiting for the 15th so I can order yummy Valentines chocs from Hotel Chocolat cut-price :D

Yeah, right

You Are Doted On



You are sweet, sensitive, and a bit anxious. You are likely to have some health problems.



It's likely that you will have four or more children... whether you use birth control or not!



You are easily effected by the world around you. You are emotional and even a bit moody.



You are very detail oriented and tidy. Some may even call you obsessive.



You are wilder than most people, even if you don't feel all that wild. And you're a total show off.

Bah. Central heating and dullness and routine-ness and Januaryness are conspiring against me. Thankfully I have tomorrow off and am not back at work until Tuesday.

It's OK, I'm back at work tomorrow. Although I haven't been idle today - I made a start on my course books. I have to make a rain gauge and find somewhere in the garden where it won't get knocked over or eaten by foxes.

Meanwhile, I have some more Blogthings:

Told you there'd be more... )

Apart from yesterday's donut quiz, I haven't done these for ages - so lots under the cut :)

There might be more to come, too - but in another post.

Haven't done one of these for forever, so:



You Are a Sprinkled Donut



Flamboyant and flashy, you're easily distracted by shiny things.

You're definitely a snazzy number, and you usually catch everyone's eye in the room.

And you've got the goods to back it up your colorful image.

(Though too much of you gives people a stomach ache!)

tourmaline: (hugh in glasses)


You Belong in the Baby Boomer Generation



You fit in best with people born between 1943 and 1960.

You are optimistic, rebellious, and even a little self centered.

You still believe that you will change the world.

You detest authority and rules. Deep down, you're a non conformist.

What donut are you?

From [livejournal.com profile] karaokegal and [livejournal.com profile] mej1976

you are seagreen
#2E8B57

Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there's a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days.

Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don't be afraid to run out and make things happen.

Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively.
