The perils of SWB (Shopping While Broke) :P [Sep. 22nd, 2009|05:28 pm]
[mood |wistful]

On my lunch break today, I wandered across the street to the Pawn Xchange in Federal Way and beheld something that made my heart go pitty-pat...a black 12-string Ovation acoustic/electric guitar with a hard case for $799...sigh. Being poor sucks :) Besides, I do already have 3 to play(of the 5 that live in this house) :P It occurs to me that guitars are a little like potato chips - it's hard to stop at one, or two, or...though a certain lack of storage does eventually come in to play. Still, it is nice. Hopefully whoever owns it next will make much beautiful music with it. Such an instrument begs to be played and enjoyed.

Your result for Test yourself: What alignment are you?...


Neutral Good


You scored 59% Lawful and 71% Good, which makes you Neutral Good.



Chaotic-Lawful is the ethical scale, on which you scored 59%, where 0% is utter chaos and 100% is total cosmos.


This Lawful scale doesn't necessarily judge how committed to the system you are, even though one could guess so from the name since the system usually holds the law, but instead it means how sorted internally you are, and how likely it is for you to choose cosmos over chaos.


You are neutral, and are as such an individual who either doesn't mind one over the other of chaos and stillness, or can go both ways depending on how you feel. You don't necessarily follow laws that blindly, and you don't act too randomly.



The Evil-Good scale is quite easily figured out, being the morale scale, and on this you scored 71%, where 0% is totally evil and 100% is completely good.



Now, evil here on this scale doesn't necessarily mean you're out to make people suffer. It means ego-centering and glorification of one's ego. You, being good, would be likely to be compassionate and empathic to those around you.



For example, a doctor who treats soldiers from both sides in a war could be considered neutral good. A character who does what his heart tells him to without really caring where it takes him, and without going into extremes, would also be neutral good.

Your result for The Social Persona Test (What kind of man/woman are you?)...

The Manga Geek (QLBM)

Quirky Liberal Beta Male

First of all, we can't help but notice that you spend an awful lot of time reading Hentei. Other than that though, you have a gentleness around women they find attractive. Seek out ones as quirky as you and you're golden.



You are more QUIRKY than NORMAL.


You are more LIBERAL than TRADITIONAL.


You are more PASSIVE than DOMINANT.


When picking a date, consider: The Rarity (QTAF), The Renaissance Faire Wench (QLAF), The Librarian (QTBF), or The Emo Girl (QLBF).

Hey Firefly fans - I have a question...:) [May. 10th, 2009|11:38 am]
Having finally gotten around to watching the show, (all 14 episodes on Hulu.com) I must first say that this is a pretty good show. :D This coming from someone who cannot stand most television due to it's intelligence - or rather - lack thereof. But that is another rant for another post...:P

My question is this: What is the lanquage used that is peppered throughout the English parts of the script? It sounds consistent with itself to me, but doesn't have the flavor of any language I'm familiar with. Does anyone know? Is it something created for the show?
My curiousity is piqued...

And I thought my week was tough [May. 3rd, 2009|10:12 pm]
I, like many of you reading this, have had people that we know pass on.

Never in my life has anyone's passing affected me as John's has. 

I feel like I lost a great friend that I was only just beginning to get to know. I've spent the weekend dazedly trying to get my head around this and not succeeding  very well. Stupid SUV driving drunk person took a light away from the world and the weird and wonderful family and community that I've found a home in. My sense of loss is acute, but I can only just begin to imagine how much more magnified it is for those who had the privelege of knowing him better. My heart, broken as it is, nonetheless goes out to you. 

My memories of John are comparatively few, but no less treasured. His everpresent smile, the chemistry he and Brooke shared onstage, his ready willingness to lend a hand sharing his amazing talent, his ability to bring smiles to the faces of those around him, my anticipation of working with him on some of my music, hearing him play his. These are the essence of the things that drew me to filk in the first place and gave me something to reach for when my own life path was rocky and dark. Seeing the outpouring of sorrow and support for one another throughout these many posts is nothing short of amazing and shows just how special you all are as well. 

People like John inspire others to reach higher, myself included. I can only hope to be as fine an inspiration to those that follow after as I begin my musical journey.

Another excellent article re:Amazon [Apr. 12th, 2009|11:58 pm]
[mood |determined]

Personally, I feel that whatever your orientation or even opinion on others, what has happened here is a call to arms. We must protect our freedoms. The following link contains the contact numbers for Amazon's Board of Directors. I suggest calling them and letting them know your thoughts on this blatant censorship. Today the LGBT community is under attack. Who's next on the list?
Personally I am straight. I fail to see how *any* other persons personal relationships could possibly affect mine.
