Hmm, Jenny's LiveJournaled another random survey/questionnaire/profile-thing. Not as good as the last one IMO, but I can't resist anyway.
Typical Stuff
Your Name: Cassia Julia Caeser Draconia. That's 'princess' to you.
Your Age: I lost count. Seriously.
The Age You Seem To Be: Older than my physical-age normally online (although I like to pretend to be 6)
Your Zodiac Sign: The Small Uninteresting Group Of Stars (from the Discworld)
How do you feel about the sign you are? Wheee (cos I made it up)
Fashion Sense (of which I am thankfully devoid)
What is the coolest piece of clothing you own? Has to be the Taelon Trousers, I think, narrowly beating my brightest blue t-shirt.
What does your most comfortable shirt look like? I'm pretty sure I don't actually own *any* 'shirts' - blouses and t-shirts yes, and pretty much all of them (especially the enormous long t-shirts) are very comfortable 'cos I wouldn't wear them otherwise!
What is more important, to look good or to be comfortable? See above?
What is the most uncomfortable piece of clothing you own? Those wretched school jumpers... hmm, do I still own them or are they on their way to the dump even now? (yay, no more icky school uniform after these stupid exams!)
What are your favourite shoes? The white-and-purple trainers (for colour *and* practicality *and* comfort)
Do you follow trends? Only to deride them.
Are you a trend unto yourself? Only a downward one :-)
Musical Tastes (mmm, lollipops with those penny-whistle things in them...)
You have the power to rid the world of one genre of music, what do you choose? There are several deserving candidates, but I'd have to say 'rap', simply because it wipes out Eminem, and his destruction is a worthy cause if ever I heard of one.
What music have you been listening to a lot lately? I've just got enough CDs ripped into MP3s to make my music listening quite, quite random. Keep forgetting to put it on, tho.
Do you dig classical music? (pedant mode engaged) Yes, I excavate sites rumoured to contain this rare substance constantly... (pedant mode returned to normal(it never gets disengaged)) Not really. Don't like 'culture', and generally only like music if it has words. (Classical music pieces just go on for *sooo* long, too. I quite like the first couple of minutes but when they fail to end after that I get bored. Yes yes I know, attention span crippled by modern entertainment and similar yammering.)
How about Jazz? As far as I've heard, 'Jazz' = 'let's forget about having a decent, solid tune and just make it up as we go along, adding as many annoying twiddly bits as possible'.
The Opera? If I want to hear people screech in a foreign language, I'll go torment some foreigners myself, thankyouverymuch.
Define an eighth note: Half of a quarter note... *grin*
What is the piece of music you are embarrassed to admit you once liked? A whole range of stuff from the Spice Girls, Steps, All Saints, and other such bands, occasional tracks of which I still like, although I've discovered that most of them were orignially by other people and done much better by the other people.
What are your feelings about 80s music? I don't have any.
What is the best musical act of modern time? Marnie and Tag performing 'If I Were A Butterfly', for sheer entertainment value. Must be seen live, tho.
What was the first concert you ever went to? Delerious? (in the KEGS school hall. And yes, the ? is part of the band name.)
What song annoys you lotsandlots? 'Oops, I did it again' by Britney Spears - it was one of about five music videos played constantly on one of the channels on our TV in Portugal (and the TV spent *far* too much time tuned to that channel).
Lay some hep lyrics on me and prove you are a cool cat: 'Hep' is not a word, and I'm actually quite warm at the moment.
Of Historical Importance
What is your favourite historical period? Now. (Maybe a decade or so ago, when computers were first appearing in a widespread way, I'd've liked to have been a student then...)
What group of historical people do you find most interesting and why? The Romans. Probably because I was forced to study them as part of Latin and therefore know too much about them.
What is your favourite mythological story? Daedelous and Icarus - the way Ovid tells it, including the bit about Daedelous throwing his nephew off the city walls for being cleverer than him.
Of the following historical weapons, which looks the coolest:
1)The Egyptian Khopesh
2)The German Two-handed Flamberge
3)The Scottish Claymore (Pre-basket hilt)
4)The Japanese No Dai Ichi
5)The Chinese Tai Chi
6)The German SMG-40
7)The Russian Barrel-clip Rifle
It's a close run between the Kopesh and the No Dai Ichi - the ones I know what they look like don't look particularly cool, and those are the coolest names (the first one just looks cool, the second one sounds like Fake Esperanto).
Who's more evil? Hitler or Vlad Tepes? Never heard of the latter.
Who looks more insane? Rasputan or Millard Fillmore? I'm sure you're making these up. (Especially Rasputan, the lesser-known sibling of Rasputin...)
Howard Taft vs. Dick Cheyney in a fight to the death. Who wins and how?
Hmm, not knowing who these people are is probably a consequence of trying to do a question-thingy that origniated in America.
Who's the best president EVER? How should I know, especially as you're probably being all American-centered and thinking only of Merkin presidents...
Who's the worst? If you're talking America, then the present incumbant stinks pretty badly.
Oddities (As if the rest weren't)
No, I'm not answering the rest of this. It's just not interesting enough and I can't be bothered. I'm going to read my much more interesting email.
