You have a Purple Lightsaber.

You have a Purple Lightsaber. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic. Purple denotes high spirituality and religious aspiration. Purple also represents Peacefulness and Purification. It also has a sense of intuitive understanding and a feeling of intimacy with the world.

I mean obviously! I only already own a purple lightsaber from Walmart. Gosh! Now if only the almighty 'they' made a purple lightsaber spoon...

And I am officially a tool. I REALLY need to stop with these quizzes and furthermore, if I do indeed continue with them, I've got to find some of my own instead of stealing them from other people's ljs. Man I'm worthless!

On another note the whole "school-sickness" thing isn't really getting any better. It only gets better when I distract myself with some activity or another and even then, it's not really getting better, only being ignored. Maybe it just happens in your first summer home from college but all I know is that right now, I'm missing life in the old 'burg terribly. Or maybe it's not that, but rather missing my friends at school. After all, I live with them now more often than I do my family. I only hope people miss me as much as I miss them...

However, so as not to allow this post to become an emotional waste of cyberspace, I now bring to your attention a concept discussed earlier with the remarkably wonderful and unique Duncan Bell. Credit is due to him for this idea altogether actually. It is his opinion that poisons should in fact be sweet and delicious tasting rather than bitter and unpleasant. The revolting taste of the most prominent poisons on the black market today not only alert initially unwary consumers to the fact that there is something not quite right about that wine they are guzzling, but also stop them from drinking it for fear their stomachs may protest and regurgitate the last three days sustenance. But if one were to administer a poison which was sweet and succulent to taste, while the consumer may indeed notice that the beverage he is consuming does not taste quite the same as expected, the drinker would not be repulsed by the taste of the thing and would gulp it down anyways. In fact, he would very much enjoy it and then be most surprised to find himself dead a few minutes hence, as the events leading to his untimely and unexpected death were not the least bit unpleasant.

The creation of a such a poison would remove much complication from the act of assassination. Mr. Bell assumes, and rightly, that he need not even disguise himself as a shady criminal and peddle his product in the underworld markets. Quite the contrary- in broad daylight he could simply be a door to door salesman and make a huge profit from the wealthy denizens of Northern Virginia, who most certainly would like to kill off a large number of their neighbors and, more than likely, local family members as well. Property envy and issues of inheritance, you know.

Such a poison would also severely reduce the unpleasantness of suicide. Not that suicide is something that I personally, nor I assume my comrade Mr. Duncan Bell would ever seriously contemplate, but for those who really believe that there is no alternative, their last memory shouldn't be of a gun barrel pressed to the side of their head, nor a sensation that they may vomit, nor a noose ringing their neck and slowly suffocating them.

And now I leave you with this observation: A long long time ago, in a galaxy far away, Yoda served as the leader of the Jedi council and kicked some serious ass (doing back flips in the process) and then he became a puppet. But he also found himself in the company of people who, although they may not look quite as impressive in battle, could actually act.
