Personality Test Spamage

I'm not entirely sure how accurate this is but how much of a typical Capricorn does this sound?

You are gentle, caring, quiet, dutiful, neat, dependable, modest, unassuming, and humble. You can be counted on to make sure everything is in its place, that people are doing what they’re supposed to be doing and all the supplies have been secured.

You prefer to work behind the scenes, driven by a sense of obligation, often overworked for the benefit of others. You prefer tasks that are highly outlined, organized and practical. You fill your life with meaningful activities and schedule any down time. You enjoy helping any friend in need. You have a strong work ethic and can be critical of sloth, laziness and people who have possessions only through extreme indebtedness. All you’d like in return for all of your hard work is recognition and gratitude, neither of which you receive nearly in proportion to the effort and time you exert.

One of your greatest strengths is supporting family or group activities. Your contribution of cooking, cleaning, fixing or constructing is an expression of your love and loyalty to everyone present, and such labor is truly a pleasure for you to fulfill.

You were a model child. Relatively neat, sweet and conscientious, you were the child that every parent thinks they’re going to have. You may have openly disagreed or rebelled but if so it was short-lived and harmless and you were quick to accept the judgment of your parents along with any punishment they deemed reasonable.

You prefer not to make waves or attract too much individual attention. You go by the book and are suspicious of anyone suggesting that tried and true established methods should be revised or ignored.

You have a strong appreciation for antiques, traditions and heirlooms. You have a natural appreciation for and connection with your past and the people in your family tree. You find special joy in guarding old family artifacts regardless of their monetary value.

You put a lot of energy into maintaining your home. You keep things tidy, visually appealing and in working condition. You make sure your home is always well stocked with food and supplies. You take better care of your possessions than most types, cleaning, oiling, maintaining things so that they will always be nice, maintain their value, and function when needed. You want things to be sturdy and may replace something which isn’t broken if, after acquiring it, you realize that it’s of the new, shabbier quality.

You may or may not be a pessimist, but your speech is laced with reminders to realistically expect problems to arise. You are aware of the general dangers of living and are conscious of the fact that other people don’t heed your warnings as often as they should. You are also the first to point out to someone who seems surprised that they should’ve known that setbacks would occur

Down with da kids...sort of...

I've dipped my toe into the murky waters of My Space but haven't really gotten into it as such. (Yes, I know I only have 6 friends!) I know it's supposed to have launched the Artic Monkeys and other hip new acts but I haven't really got around to checking out the music side of it till now.

The snarky gossip newsletter Popbitch last week linked to this new UK based singer on My Space called Mika. (Not NZ's former cabaret style performer Mika, another one) This Mika is a fabulous mix of operatic rock pop stylings in the vein of Rufus Wainwright, Queen, old skool Elton John...etc. In other words, gay! Oh so gay and oh so brilliant. His song Grace Kelly is a musical ray of sunshine in this dark gloomy winter.

Speaking of Teh Gay, another musical act with a handy My Space page is IAMX. I recently obtained a copy of their album (don't ask how) which is great German electro pop. (And that is not an oxymoron!) From the guy behind the Sneaker Pimps, their music is dark sensual electro which is also Fabulous, but less Elton John and more Ghetto (the club).


So anyways Tom, when do I get my pimpage fee?

Contemplation...

I think I am a bit naive sometimes. I have a tendancy to give some people more credit than they are due. But I've realised that no matter what I do or say , some folk just won't listen. Oh well, I just don't think I'll bother next time.
