A GREAT TRAGEDY
You feel that everything is going against you and you are worn out and exhausted by all the conflict and quarrelling. You are trying to protect yourself but at the same time you are hiding your feelings, hoping that by so doing, you can avoid exposing yourself to attack. Hopefully this will give you the chance to get on with your life. Nevertheless, you should be very careful to try to avoid stirring up any opposition which might endanger your plans:
For some time now you may have been subjected to considerable physical illness and or emotional distress. This may have taken a severe toll and you feel both physically and mentally worn out. Your self esteem has been reduced and you now need a peaceful environment which will permit you to effect full recovery.
You feel very lonely and frustrated at this time but your shyness and modesty precludes you from establishing any deep form of relationship. You feel rather isolated and alone. You are egocentric and you believe that you are always right - well maybe you are - but you have a short fuse and are likely to take offence for the slightest reason.
All of the stress and strains resulting from disappointment have led to agitation and anxiety. You have been going out of your way to make a good impression, but you have reservations as to the likelihood of succeeding. You feel that you have a right to accomplish all that you set your mind on but you have become helpless and distressed when circumstances have gone against you. The idea of failure is most upsetting and this can even mean utter dejection. You see yourself as a scapegoat and you feel everyone in your sphere of influence has tried to take undue advantage of you. You are trying to convince yourself that your failure to achieve standing and recognition is not of your making but indeed of those around you.
You are moody and depressed at this time but it will pass. All of your hopes and dreams seem to have gone astray and you are fearful of planning further for the future. Disappointment at the non fulfilment of your hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety and you try to escape from this by withdrawing into yourself. But that is not the answer. You have the power to succeed, believe in yourself... all is possible to him who believes.
Pffahahaha oh god this is so wrong I can't even begin to say. XD SO BASICALLY DON'T PICK YELLOW LAST, IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? XD The only thing that it got right is that yes, I am shy. :Db GOOD JOB, QUIZ.
I took it again, too, because I did have some hesitation for a few colours. ONCE AGAIN IT IS FABULOUSLY INACCURATE.
You feel worn out, physically and mentally. Recently the going has been tough and it looks as if there is still a considerable way for you to go before you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. If only you could put a protecting wall around yourself and cut yourself off from the rest of the world - be it even for only a little while - how wonderful it would be, but you can't - so you need to bear with it. Just when everything will seem at its lowest ebb you will find that there is a turnabout and your problems will seem to find a way of resolving themselves.
You don't really give in. You follow your beliefs and ideals to the bitter end. You are the personification of stubbornness and whatever may transpire, right or wrong, you refuse to compromise or make concessions.

Mostly wrong, but they did get the stubbornness this time, at least. I'm very proud that I let myself drop Math when I knew I couldn't succeed. I am ordinarily the type who will stick with it and TRY TO DO HIS VERY BEST TO THE END and then fail anyway. |D Dealing with people, I'm better, but when dealing with things about myself and the world around me I tend to be rather immobile unless I am given very very clear reasons that I am wrong.
Well, that was fun.
I'm always interested in what people think of me. It's mostly because I honestly have no idea how I come across to the world! |B I am such a dunce at this kind of thing because I tend to not talk to people I don't know unless I've got a reason.* And when I do talk to them, I've very straight forward about it. Probably pretty formal, too, come to think of it. ANYWAY, the point is that in the past few weeks people have actually shared things that they've observed about me, giving me some unusual insight into this! :D
So! From Niel, a 40/50-ish guy who lives in my dorm. He's really nice and we've spoken a bit about his daughter who apparently lives in Greece as an archaeologist, but really we don't run into each other very often. He observed a while back, though, that I was very, "unflustered." Composed. Which isn't really a way that I think of myself! But that must be how I behave to friendly people who I don't know very well, I thought. Okay.
But then, some time later, my friend Willian told me that I always looked blank. :| I do? But I've hung out with him for years! That's kind of the same thing, isn't it?
...Of course, that was the same night that he told me I reminded him of a panda, so... Maybe that shouldn't be quite taken seriously. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS HOW DO I INTERPRET SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
Only tangentially related but oh well: Apparently as my hair grows out I look less and less feminine and more and more young. I haven't had anyone (who could see me properly) mistake me for a girl in a long time, but I keep being told that I look like I'm either fifteen or seventeen. Weird, huh? I guess no girl would have hair as bad as this, haha.
So! I just finished the series a while ago, right? I rushed through it because I am trying to grow up and devote more time to schoolwork in preparation for finals and all that. IT IS REALLY GOOD, is what I am saying. But I wonder if it would be as good to other people? I went into it all excited already because I had been roleplaying with one of the characters, so I had some idea of the lore behind it and I wanted to know how this world worked. Also, it was at just the right time for me to be excited by every reference to the Five Elements or at any glimpse of a Torii because woo~ Religious Studies.
Buut, without those? I wonder if it would have been as easy to get into? There's got to be a reason that this show wasn't a success. The character development and interactions are great, so that's not it. I wonder if people just assumed that it was just another Pokemon or Digimon, and that's all it took to hold it back? In a way, I suppose it is. But if Pokemon targets fourth-graders and Digimon targets sixth-graders, then Onmyou Taisenki targets eighth-graders. Does that make any sense? I think that it's more mature than Digimon, although that may be just because Digimon was declawed during localization, something that OT has never had to deal with.
Ah, but I really did enjoy it. A lot. You guys should watch it! The whole thing is on YouTube- Just search for, 'Onmyou Taisenki'.
*Actually, come to think of it, I'm awful at talking to people who I do know when I don't have something in mind to talk about. 8D
