You are The Sun
Happiness, Content, Joy.
The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.
Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.
The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon’s Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

Hey you! Yes, you! The one who sashays over here, checks out what’s new, and leaves without a peep. I’m talking to YOU!
I see you visiting, you know. I wonder who you are, and why you visit, and whether you like what you are reading. I wonder why you come often, but never say hello.
Well, this week is International Delurking Week, and you are morally obligated to leave a comment. It doesn’t have to be a pithy comment, or a witty comment, or a verbose comment. Just say hello, for goodness sake. I don’t ask much (okay, so that’s a lie, I shamelessly ask for stuff all the time), but today I’m asking, nay impelling you, to give up a little comment in return.
(Props to Paper Napkin for the idea, and the funky graphic. Go say hello to Sheryl and pick up a graphic of your own!)
Now go forth and comment on all your favourite blogs. Share the bloggy love!

The True Neurotic
You scored 65 anxiety, 87 awkwardness, and 70 neuroticism! |
| Congratulations, you are The True Neurotic, you nail-biting, conflict-avoiding worrier, you. You’re plagued by self-doubt and anxiety, which makes social activity hard–even though you may be well-liked, you feel under a storm of silent criticism. It doesn’t help that people give you funny looks for organizing all your pens by color or sharpening your gnawed pencils to a delicate point.
Your high anxiety score implies that you are unable to relax, worry about the future often, and probably are plagued by irrational fears and self-doubt.
Your high awkwardness score implies that you are socially inept, probably stick out from the crowd, and feel uncomfortable in large groups of people, such as at parties.
Your high neuroticism score implies that you exhibit neurotic behaviors–probably organization, fanatic obsessions (can you recite the entire first LOTR movie?), repetitive mantras, constant checking, or orderly rituals.
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
|
|
You scored higher than 99% on anxiety |
|
|
You scored higher than 99% on awkwardness |
|
|
You scored higher than 99% on neuroticism |

Can’t remember where I saw this originally, but I know Phantom Scribbler and Scrivenings have done it. I’ve had it bookmarked since before I got my iPod, but just stumbled across it when cleaning up some old files. And since we’re on vacation this week, it’s a perfect time to drag out an old meme everybody on the interwebs except me has done!
Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.
How does the world see you?
Everybody Wants to Rule the World – Tears for Fears
(no, really!!)
Will I have a happy life?
Gift Shop – The Tragically Hip
(hey, as my mother always said – if love me, buy me things!)
What do my friends really think of me?
Poets – The Tragically Hip
(I swear, I am NOT making this shit up!)
Do people secretly lust after me?
You are the Sunshine of my Life – Stevie Wonder
(we walked down the aisle to this song – maybe this signifies the end of lust??)
How can I make myself happy?
I don’t like Mondays – The Boomtown Rats
(Given. So I should avoid Mondays?)
What should I do with my life?
Hello City – Barenaked Ladies
(That’s a bit more cryptic, isn’t it? This song is about Halifax. I am NOT moving to Halifax, no offense to the Haligonians in the audience. Nor, for that matter, do I plan to spend any more time than necessary as a bare naked lady.)
Will I ever have children?
Twist my Arm – The Tragically Hip
(The Hip answers are all the cleverest ones, aren’t they? Maybe it’s a sign. I’ve always had a musical crush on Gord Downie.)
What is some good advice for me?
Fly from Heaven – Toad the Wet Sprocket
(Um – I think I’ll just leave that one alone.)
How will I be remembered?
Hot Child in the City – Nick Guilder
(okay, I may be remembered for any one of a thousand things, but all modesty aside, “hot” will never be one of them. And I’m fine with that.)
What is my signature dancing song?
She Loves me like a Rock – Paul Simon
(hey, it’s got a good beat at least…)
What do I think my current theme song is?
Pretty in Pink – The Psychedelic Furs
(okay, that was weird enough to make the hair on the back of my arms stand up)
What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
Home for a Rest – Spirit of the West
(appropriate after a weekend visiting my brother’s family)
What song will play at my funeral?
It’s a Kind of Magic – Queen
(should have been “who wants to live forever” if we’re doing Queen.)
What type of men/women do you like?
Men: Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of – U2
Women: Somebody Told Me – The Killers
What is my day going to be like?
The one I Love – R.E.M.
(well, I’m spending the day with the ones I loves)
That was fun! Let me know if you haven’t done it and you decide to play along!
Filched from Angry Pregnant Lawyer. The year in review, by posting the first sentence of the first blog post of each month of 2006.
- What happened to my baby?
- Although today is Simon’s birthday (and thank you for all the birthday wishes!), we celebrated it with the family last Saturday.
- Sorry about yesterday’s blatant cry for sympathy.
- Last week after I posted about demanding public funding for IVF, I exchanged a series of e-mails with Janet, a regular blog reader from elsewhere in Ontario.
- Today’s review is being written not at the 10-pages-in point, but after I have read the whole book.
- Marla wrote a great, rambling post the other day (you think I ramble? You ain’t seen from ramble ‘till you’ve been to Marla’s place) about how ideas for a blog post just jumped out and hurled themselves at her over the course of a rather strange afternoon.
- I’m never going to get around to writing the epic post that sums up our sojourn in la Belle Province, so I’ve decided to cover it in a series of vignettes instead.
- I’ve spent a lot of this past week and a half pretty much obsessed with my breasts.
- I can see you rolling your eyes.
- Eight days.
- The boys had a terrific halloween, and by extension, so did I.
- All I can say at this point is thank the deity of your choice that November is finally over.
It has an oddly poetic narrative, don’t you think?
Filched from Sayre Smiles. I am hardly surprised to find out that I have excessive pride, although I really thought I would score higher in envy. I’ll have to work on the lust score, too.
