Do you think I'm in the wrong business?

Stolen from GM at Lobal Warming.  As she said, I'm not in Spitzer's league, however...

I got this from GreyMatters at Lobal Warming, who strikes me, very much, as Supergirl.  Especially that "defender of the innocent" part... Thanks, GM, for being you.

Poll - AFA style

I haven't posted a poll in a while; and this is the first ever American Family Association poll I've ever posted, so I thought now was the time to correct those oversights. :)

Results as my taking the poll on 4/1/07 at 7:45 EDT:

If a corporation supports the homosexual agenda, you would:

Be more likely to do business with that company. 3,580

Be less likely to do business with that company. 152,489

It would not affect my buying decision. 2,821

Who knew? I don't know everything!

I saw this over at Julie's Place.  I know I've seen it somewhere before -- and that I got a 100% on it then -- but this time I only got a 97%.  ::pout::  Maybe I really didn't deserve that GED. 

You paid attention during 97% of high school!

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

Do you deserve your high school diploma?

I guess I'm a Liberal -- shocking

An easy quiz, courtesy of Althouse, that confirms I'm a liberal.  I scored a 5 on a scale of 0-40 (that equates me with Ted Kennedy; I can live with that).  I also took this test, and it confirmed my "Liberal" label (80/30 personal/economic).

Jessie Jackson	Ted Kennedy	Hillary Clinton	Bill Clinton	Colin Powell	George Bush	Jack Kemp	Bob Dole	Ronald Reagan
0	5	10	15	20	25	30	35	40

100% Liberal

Oh, how precocious, er, do I mean precious?

I hope I do this well on my LAST FINAL EXAM -- EVER, tomorrow at 8 AM! (OK, so this was an easy exam, but it gave me an 'A' and it comes from one of my favorite bloggers, Julie, at Carter's Little Pill):

Your Vocabulary Score: A

Congratulations on your multifarious vocabulary! You must be quite an erudite person.

Birth Date Meanings

I saw this silly quiz over at Konagod.  It got me pretty good, I think -- except the whole part of not needing anyone else.  Oh, wait -- that was the whole point.  OK, then, never mind.

Your Birthdate: March 7

You are an island. You don't need anyone else to make you happy. And though you see yourself as a loner, people are drawn to you. Deep and sensitive, you tend to impress others with your insights. You also tend to be psychic - so listen to that inner voice! Your strength: Your self sufficiency Your weakness: You despise authority Your power color: Maroon Your power symbol: Hammer Your power month: July

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Super heros!

With the recent news that Batwoman is a lesbian and the upcoming release of the new Superman and Spiderman coming out to all the world (not to mention the X-Men's Last Stand), it seemed only apropos that I should stumble across this quiz at Julie's Place, Carter's Little Pill:

You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow. Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three.

Captain Jack Sparrow 88% Neo, the "One" 79% The Amazing Spider-Man 75% William Wallace 75% James Bond, Agent 007 75% El Zorro 71% Lara Croft 67% Batman, the Dark Knight 54% Indiana Jones 54% The Terminator 50% Maximus 50%

Liberal. Me?

This is a silly quiz (well, OK, most of them are!) but it was fun (nothwithstanding some typos and the banality of the questions).  It thinks I'm a liberal! ;)

Your Political Profile:

Overall: 15% Conservative, 85% Liberal

Social Issues: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal

Personal Responsibility: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal

Fiscal Issues: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal

Ethics: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal

How Liberal Or Conservative Are You?

Benevolent Creator

I snagged this fun test from Magic Cookie.  Click here to read the report on my personality.  One thing I really liked about the test -- when it wanted to know my sex it offered: male, female, other. Then, in the report it scored my masculinity as very low and my femininty as very high.  I would love to know how they scored that!

Benevolent Creator

A couple of sample paragraphs from the report:

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

You're concerned with others at both an individual and societal level—you sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and you can care about people you've never met.

Sure they're platitudes, but I like 'em! :)

Dr. Denise

It's been a long time since I posted one of these stupid quizzes (actually, it's been nearly a year since my last one).  But, I saw this over at Kristine's place, Unblague, and after taking it she chided me about having dated men and asked me to blog about it.  So, well, ok.

You Have Your PhD in Men

You understand men almost better than anyone. You accept that guys are very different, and you read signals well. Work what you know about men, and your relationships will be blissful.

How Well Do You Understand Men?

Obviously, I know something about men (assuming that a single, stupid quiz with 8 questions can actually discern something like that).  But, as I told Kristine, I know more about men from having actually lived in both camps then from having dated men.  But, I have actually dated a few men.

This surprised her.  I thought I had blogged about that before, but I'm both too lazy and too short on time to go looking for a post that talks about it so I'll post a couple of comments here.

No, I'm not really attracted to men and never have been.  My basic attraction is to women.  However, I have known a couple of men that I thought were really wonderful and know several now that I think are drop-dead gorgeous.  And, during periods of self-exploration, I've even slept spent some time with a couple. 

MTF transsexuals (and I'm pretty convinced it's equally (maybe more so) true for FTMs as well) are often objects of fetishistic desire in others (usually men).  So, I've had my share of men hitting on me at gay bars where it was known that I was trans.  I never did more than just dance and some light play with them. 

I've also been to straight bars where I've met guys that didn't know I was trans and have had them hit on me.  A couple I've actually seen more than once.  I guess you could call that dating.

And, there were a couple of others that I met in more, um, unusual circumstances that I won't go into on my blog.

All of these instances happened while I was single, and if you're a careful reader of my blog, you'll remember that all of my single periods came after some traumatic breakup with a wife or a long-term lover.  In hindsight, I can see where I was seeking some form of validation in these encounters.  I was either looking for reassurance that I was desirable or feminine.  I have to be honest here -- it was fun.  I generally got that reassurance.

These experiences made me realize that I was probably closer to being bisexual than I was purely lesbian.  I actually liked that about me.  It gave me the ability to take the holier-than-thou stance of "I'm really attracted to the person inside and not to what is between a person's legs".  Of course, it's equally obvious that I've never been in a long-term relationship with a man.  I think that's because, in the final analysis, I really am more purely lesbian than I am bi-sexual.

So, there you have it, Kristine.  Happy? :)

Only 5 years left

I should probably be working on my paper, but I got less than 4 hours sleep last night and my mind is a fog.  So, I'm going to clean house today and relax, and blog and try not to take a nap.  Then, I'm going to bed early and get up in the morning and get crackin'!

In my perusals of blogs, I came across this stupid little quiz over at Coy's place.  Part of me thinks:  You need to make some lifestyle changes, Denise.  Part of me thinks: Damn, you mean to tell me I still have another 5 years left?! (Updated -- I decided I better see what it said if I answered honestly):

You Will Die at Age 55

55 Not bad, considering your super wild lifestyle Want to live longer? Try losing a few bad habits.

What Age Will You Die?

How do you spell procrastination?

Some of the law school blogs I've read today have at least one post that talks about how they should be studying instead of doing other stuff (like blogging!) (exceptions, of course, are those poor people on quarters who are not now preparing for exams).  I am no exception.  I've spent the better part of this day "working" on a paper that is due on Friday.  I've never written a law paper before (Legal Practice notwithstanding) and I've little idea how to do it.  I find that I get started and then I get stuck and my mind instantly wanders.

In my last wandering I came across this from Samples.  She says she thinks I posted this before, but I did not.  My post was about writing, here.

So, appropriate for a gender discussing blog:

Your Brain is 80.00% Female, 20.00% Male

Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

What Gender Is Your Brain?

Astrology?

OK, so this is just a bit weird.  How can you pick a handful of adjectives and have some stupid blogthings quiz pick your birth month?  But, it got mine right.  Even though I would have to say that I'm not normally revengeful or musically talented. The rest of them, however, are pretty damn accurate:

Your True Birth Month Is March

Moody Secretive Revengeful Trustworthy Affectionate Loves traveling Loves attention Shy and reserved Musically talented Loves home decor Not easily angered Sensitive to others Loves special things Attractive personality Loves to serve others Loves peace and serenity Observant and assess others Loves to dream and fantasize Appreciative and returns kindness Hasty decisions in choosing partners Naturally honest, generous and sympathetic

Irish? Ya think?

I got this from E. Spat. and from E. McPan. These damn quizzes are so stupid and so easy to manipulate.  But, hell, they are kinda fun -- especially when they tell me that I'm Irish! 

Your Inner European is Irish!

Sprited and boisterous! You drink everyone under the table.
