In other news, I utterly fail at blood donation. AGAIN. This time I drank enough water and had an excellent phlebotomist, but apparently my blood clots too easily. Good for me, bad for the Red Cross. I was ninety grams shy of a full unit. Three ounces of blood!

When he pulled out the needle, the clot came out with it - it looked like a red string coming out of my arm! He was all "yup. Clot. See?" meanwhile, I maybe freaked out just a little bit. I'm not a fan of seeing stuff that should be inside me outside me.

So next time, plenty of water and an aspirin. I am determined to give someone some blood, dammit.


Mua ha ha ha!

Your result for The Supervillain Archetype Test...
The Megalomaniac

Ambitious, Intelligent, Calculating



The Megalomaniac is the most prestigious of super-villain classes. If anyone is ever going to rule the world, it will probably be you.

Your main goal in life is power and domination, you have the tools to do it, and you know it. Megalomaniacs are intelligent and forceful, and they tend not to let their emotions cloud their judgment. Most of the time. They are usually found, or not found, working at the top of a huge structured organization, though many prefer to work by themselves.

The Megalomaniac has but one flaw, but its an invariably fatal one; arrogance. He knows that he can take over the world, and he isn't afraid to let you know, often elaborately and in great detail. They often do not foresee the fly in their ointment, because they do not want to admit that such a fly could exist.

Sample Megalomaniacs: Dr. Doom, Lex Luthor, Ras al'Ghul, Kang the Conqueror, Emperor Palpatine, Brain

Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...
HFPS - The Humanitarian



You perceive the world with particular attention to humanity. You focus on what's in front of you (the foreground) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on humanity, you tend to seek out other people and get energized by being around others. You like to deal directly with whatever comes your way without dealing with speculating possibilities or outcomes you can't control. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.

Your result for What language would you be?...
Russian



You like a good off-color joke now and then and you're not afraid to tell things like they are. Your frankness means that if you were a language you would be Russian.

In the Russian language entire sentences can be composed from swear words, and profanity can be found in everything from humour to classical poetry.

One popular joke makes light of the Russian penchant for swearing. The joke-teller tells the story of a sailor who trips over an anchor, and tries to compose as obscene an exclamation as possible in describing the sailor's reaction to tripping. The joke ends when, after describing the long and profane exclamation of the sailor to tripping over the anchor, the joke-teller explains, "and then he swore profusely".
