Music - both listening to it, and creating it.Here is someone's slide show that I "borrowed" from YouTube - I love Will Ferrell's "Goulet!" 'Bye Mr. G!
People who are like me...or not. People who like me...or ------ well, I hope to meet people who like me. Maybe Nancy Pelosi....or, better yet, this guy.........Oh, for Pete's sake.....
Your Personality Is Like Acid
A bit wacky, you're very difficult to predict.
One moment you're in your own little happy universe...
And the next, you're on a bad trip to your own personal hell!
At your best: You understand the world completely, and every ordinary experience is sublime.
What people like about being around you: You say and do the craziest things. You're very entertaining.
What people dislike about being around you: You're unpredictable. Your mood swings are quite intense.
How addicted people get to you: They pretty much don't get addicted to you. What Drug Is Your Personality Like?
