I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy

About Me

Making, showing and watching movies is 70% of my life. The other 30% involves sleeping, reading, drinking (lately too much), relaxing, museums and dancing (not often enough). I like to get along with lots of people; however being a virgo I usually get along best with aquari...I dunno why that is; they're always just so chill and fun. Lately I've been interested in the Japanese culture: j-pop, anime, movies, art work, history, etc. and I like talking about it and learning more. I do like to listen a lot as well, but not so much with people who don't like to listen in return. For myspace I really like to get a message and learn about people before I get a friendship request. I dunno; I guess I just don't like adding total strangers just to have more friends...is that weird?
I should have known that!
Ok, now this I don't get. Last time I took this test I was Kagome, which I think makes more sense.

You're Special Agent Dale Cooper. You're often too
brilliant for people to really follow, but
your infectious enthusiasm makes up for the
fact that you're frequently incomprehensible.
You are smart, intuitive, clear-headed,
compassionate, and cute as hell -- about your
only flaw is your insane coffee consumption.
Now I really don't get that! I'm kind of a good guy type, but not that much of a goody-goody...and I deffenatly am not into the whole zen thing.

Zelgadis Greywards: Zelgadis is a strong scorceror and ground warrior.
Though a few years ago his relative turned
him into a bizarre human, being parts golem,
human, etc. Zelgadis always has his wits
about him, trying to find the things he
wants, and being in control. Zelgadis is a
cool, secretive guy who isn't so good with
the ladies. He is a bit shy, but can kick
ass! His magic and swordsmanship are uncanny!
This guy is the master of battle. A duel with
him can get you in serious pain. He doesn't
get too mad very often, but he can get VEEERY
angry if you push him!
OK, that seems the most apt of all.

You are... Short Round! The young, chinese side
kick only seen in "Temple of Doom."
You act as Indy's body guard and try to keep
him out of trouble. Even though you are
hardly ten, you can drive, cheat at poker and
beat up the bad guy without breaking a sweat!
...OK, I admit I was lying because I wanted to be short round!...he's soo cool.
Of course I'm Ed, she's my alter-ego!
