The Scarlet Harlot Strikes Again

About Me


You are Napoleon Dyanamite and a buttload of gangs
are trying to recruit you.
Which Napoleon Dynamite character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla**************************************************** ********************
Long-winded, over-educated, multi-ethnic, witch-in-training. I'm way into Astrology, Tarot, Palmistry, dream interpretation, etc. I'm a Libra with Leo Rising, Gemini Moon, Mercury in Libra, Mars AND Venus in Scorpio, Saturn in Leo, and Jupiter in Gemini. Think Air and Fire with just a bit of water for steam.
I grew up in Berkeley, CA, spent 6 long years in Tucson for grad/law school and now I'm trying my hand at DC. I figure what the hell...it's a challenge, and I like challenges. Living on the east coast has helped me realize how incredibly lucky I was to grow up the the SF Bay Area.
So I dug in my roots by hooking up with the DC Kings. I've made some truly wonderful friends and I feel so lucky, it's like I was in the right place at the right time. It has been a blast. Bio queen, drag king, who cares as long as I'm having fun, right?
I'm feeling unbelievably happy and fulfilled right now. I have a fantastic partner and I have a wonderful new job with NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals. Let's hear it for making the world a better place!
I don't take myself too seriously. I fluctuate between serious academic, bossy domme, laid back leftist, and pert cutie-pie. I can be down to earth when I need to, by why bother when I can be dancing around in the clouds?
Wow, I could talk about myself forever. Actually, I can talk about almost anything forever. *smirk*
************************************************************ ********************************************
You are the Marquis Da Sade. Even stripped of
exaggerations, Your real life was as dramatic
and as tragic as a cautionary tale. Born to an
ancient and noble house, you were married
(against your wishes) to a middle-class heiress
for money, caused scandals with prostitutes and
with your sister-in-law, thus enraging your
mother-in-law, who had you imprisoned under a
lettre de cachet for 14 years until the
Revolution freed you. Amphibian, protean,
charming, you became a Revolutionary,
miraculously escaping the guillotine during the
Terror, only to be arrested later for
publishing your erotic novels. You spent your
final 12 years in the insane asylum at
Charenton, where you caused another scandal by
directing plays using inmates and professional
actors. You died there in 1814, virtually in
the arms of your teenage mistress. You are a revolutionary deviant. I applaud you.
Which Imfamous criminal are you?
