( It's all about me, me, me )

So, on the whole, a fairly well-rounded individual apart from the bit where I'm thoroughly disagreeable. Hey now, don't all rush to contradict me... oh, wait.

To be fair, it's probably not a bad pop analysis. Anyone else?

(NB: I removed Ugg Boot spam off the bottom. How dare they use my LJ to promote Ugg Boots of all things?!? Oh crap, I've probably just set off the Google ads now. Sigh.)

EDIT: I would have a pretty damn low score on Neuroticism, except for the 90 I got on anger. This is causing MUCH amusement in the office.

These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of 'today' - whenever that was).

Bold what you have read, italicize what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand.

The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.

( Book Meme )

17 read. 2 unfinished because I just loathed them. Can you italicise and strike through at the same time?

Sadly, most of those I read in my pre- and early teens.

Why is there so much Gaiman in the unread list?

Oh god, these are fun. Add Captain Jack. Have a voo-doo doll, or a comically large sword. Oh yeah. Or cake. Mmmm cake.

( This is way more fun than it really ought to be )


I had to have those shoes, I actually just bought them!

OK, OK, so it was a week ago. What are you gonna do?

Rules: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog post of their own - 10 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. (However, as I don't think I know 6 people who haven't alrady been tagged, I'm not gonna. Sorry.)

1. I am completely addicted to Dancing on Ice. I am somewhat embarrassed by this, but not enough to quit.

2. When I buy a new album, I have to listen to it repeatedly. And then some more.

3. I always try to avoid walking on people's graves as it seems rude. This gets awkward in old churches where they had a tradition of burying people in the floor.

4. I am terribly competitive. In any kind of game against other people. I will be doing my damnedest to win. I try not to let on though.

5. I cannot help myself from spotting spelling mistakes. This includes books, brochures, signs, anything. I am an habitual proof-reader. This does not mean that I don't make spelling mistakes myself.

6. I suffer from shyness. This is a fact often disguised by how gobby I am, but is still true.


That's all I can actually think of for now. I see if I can come up with any more tomorrow. Or, you know, next week maybe...

Hooray, hooray. I finally got my home internet connection back. For joy!

So I'll put in a meme, because all the cool kids are doing it, and after all, that's what the internet is for, right?

The Wild Rose Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLDf) Colorful, but unpicked. You are The Wild Rose. Prone to bouts of cynicism, sarcasm, and thorns, you excite a certain kind of man. Hoping to gather you up, he flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing his love. Then you make him bleed. Why? Because you're the rare, independent, self-sufficient kind of woman who does want love, but not from a weakling. You don't seem to take yourself too seriously, and that's refreshing. You aren't uptight; you don't over-plan. Romance-wise, sex isn't a top priority--a true relationship would be preferable. For your age, you haven't had a lot of bonafide love experience, though, and this kind of gets to core of the issue. You're very selective. Your exact opposite: The Dirty Little Secret Deliberate Gentle Sex Master The problem is them, not you, right? You have lofty standards that few measure up to. You're out there all right, but not to be picked up by just anyone. "You're never truly single as long as you have yourself." ALWAYS AVOID: The Bachelor CONSIDER: The Vapor Trail.

Brutal. This is about the dead people questions, right?
