Fun personality quiz+rant
yep, I filched this off of
maderr , who I am stalking restlessly. Creepy, yes? XD She just writes the bestest slash out there. <3
I am amused at how correct a lot of these quizzes are, and now I want a daemon. Like, so bad. XD Guess I should write more Eir&Okhropir to get it out of my system. *nods*
You are calm and logical, but not unemotional. You are an introvert, at heart, preferring to read alone than be subjected to the crush and noise of a big party or bar. You have a few friends and family, whose presence you welcome - to a point. Even they can wear on your nerves eventually, and you need to retreat back into your personal space for a while so you can recharge. Your energy comes in bursts, after which you need a long nap or a couple of evenings at home to recuperate.
You are comfortable with yourself, and reasonably confident. You want the friendship and goodwill of others, but you are not willing to sacrifice your principles in order to get it. If your close friends need something that you can provide, however, you will be the first to offer it.
You are a good and sympathetic listener, and are aware of your friend's emotional states. With your very close friends, you will open up, but rarely - you don't like to burden people with your problems. At the same time, though, you are honest and are not willing to alter the truth for the sake of convenience. Among strangers you are reserved, and may resort to making jokes to disguise your true feelings.
While you are not afraid of conflict, you do not seek it, either. When you are hurt or insulted, you feel that you have a choice to make. You can choose to take the up on it and defend yourself, or you can let it pass. Your decision may depend on how well you know the person, how personally you take the insult, or simply what mood you are in that day. Your friends may not always know how you are going to react, for that reason. Whatever you reaction, though, you will be logical, rational and unnervingly accurate: a measured strike.
Your daemon's form would represent your calm, introverted nature, your cool logic, and your impatience with crowds of people. He or she would probably whisper ironic comments in your ear, give logical advice and try to hide his or her soft side from everyone, even you.
Suggested forms: Peregrine Falcon, Snowy Owl, Snow Leopard, Siberian Tiger.

In other news, this year, I'm doing Office of Letters and Light's Big, Fun, Scary Adventure Challenge ( http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/forum%252F192 ), and my goals are:
- Lose 15kg. I've done it once, I know I can do it again!
- Finish all my current WIP stories. (Not including collabs. that makes it 9, I believe. oh dear.)
- Edit one story for "publishing" (On fictionpress, lj or similar)
- Translate at least 5 vols of manga, Japanese-English
- Learn 300 new kanji
- Get a new job
- Participate in and finish NaNo 2008
- Clean my room, and most importantly, keep it clean!
- Travel to Japan
So yeah, I have some stuff to do.... ^^; and I should probably throw "DRAW!!" up there as well.. *sheepish grin*
So, weightloss won't be too hard, I think. If chocolate, soda and juice are banned, and I do some running a few times a week, that should help a lot, I think. *nods* I just have to actually start the stupid shit. Pardon the language.
My WIPs..? Oh dear....
Spice of Life - Almost done, I think. And I know all the scenes left. Probably the story that will be edited and put up somewhere. I really have no clue how explicit stuff fictionpress allows, so I'll probably make a separate lj account. You can never have too many of those. *rolls eyes*
Heal Me Gently - It kinda just floated into "meh"-ness... must crack my whip at that, and finish it.
Braiding Shadows - Oh Sol, so much stuff left... (and that concludes the stories with actual titles. Go me.)
Laurel/Avaseren - ahaha, I haven't even typed up most of it, and I have no clue where those sucky 60 longhand pages are. That's what happens when you force yourself to write during a block. But! It has countries! Politics! Geological stuff! A map (albeit a sucky one)! The main pairing is not boysmex het!! Do you need smelling salts? Oxygen? You're starting to turn a bit blue now.....
Okhropir/Eir - I just started it, and I've already found some logical faults, so I must rewrite the last scene. dammit. Stupid parents.
Dante/Lutheus - The ones that made the 'verse Pir and Eir are in, and who're more true to its depressing nature. I'm afraid to write it, since it's so depressing I might commit suicide. Yes, it's that bad. -___-;;
Quincy/Leo - Should really write these two, in all their moronic sillyness. Don't really know where to go from here, though.
Vance/Zephyr - This was just after I'd made a list of all my characters, and realized that some letters were under-represented. *laughs* The whole cast of this thing are sooo cracky it's hard to believe. It was supposed to be sad and slightly pathetic, dammit! >< Now it's only WTF-y....
Sol/Jaden - Ahaha, this breaks my mind. But hey, I created a god (sounds so wrong), it would only be cruel not to make him a special someone! Yet for some reason, Stripper!Angel broke my mind more. I guess it was just that nothing could shock me any more after that....
Yep, that's my story list. I do have a fanfiction floating somewhere, too, but meh. Fanfiction is booooring..... XD;; Original characters are way more fun!
Now, the manga I plan to translate, have to have certain qualities; they have to be:
- Unlicensed.
- Not available online in translated form
- A part of my personal collection.
...seeing as my personal collection is quite big, and filled with random stuff, that's not too hard... So far, I've decided to do La Satanica, by Momoko Tenzen, since I've read it 7 or 8 times in the short span of.... 4 days I have owned it. Also contemplating doing a volume of Kurashina-sensei's Passion, Snail Battlefront, Koma Koma and Black Butler. Must check if those are unscanlated as well. Or if I have other, better choices.
The rest? Yeah, the rest of my goals should be perfectly doable. Wish me luck! XD
