I am here for Friends

About Me

I apparently exist.
And I feel like I should put up a sign that says "By the way, if I seem familiar, you might remember me as CHANDRA." That's my real name.
I know, I know, ain't I just special....
How Quirky Are You?
Your Quirk Factor: 96%
You're beyond quirky... You're downright bizarre.
You've lost touch with social norms and what's appropriate.
And you're loving every minute of it!
..td align="center" Are you a Nerd, a Geek, or a Dork?
Outcast Genius
86% Nerd, 78% Geek, 56% Dork
For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.
Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occasion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject).
Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.
How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 97% on nerdiness
You scored higher than 97% on geekosity
You scored higher than 92% on dork points
What's Your Religious Philosophy?
You are a Self-Discoverer
You're not religious, but you've created your own kind of spirituality.
Introspective and thoughtful, you tend to look inward for the divine.
You are distrusting of all forms of organized religion.
You especially dislike religious gurus and leaders, who you feel are charlatans.
What Powerful Magic Weaver Are You? What Powerful Magic Weaver Are You?
Priestess.
You are dark and distinctly mysterious. There are many people who do not know what to think of you, but then again that's how you like it. You could be described as quiet, and a little creepy at times. You weave your magic alone, by candlelight usually, and contrary to popular belief, your enchantments are not nearly as dark as many may assume. Though it may not seem so you have good intentions, and could use a friend as strange as you are.

posting random and obnoxious stuff on my real blog:
the Statistical Improbability of My Existence

I'd like to meet:

'people' with brains...and a snarky sense of humor. 'people' who share my addictions...but don't act like pre-pubescent girls about them. 'people' with the same distaste for excessive exclamation points...and understand the actual difference between appropriate and excessive.

I won't go so far as to demand you be a carbon-based lifeform....but I'd prefer you to not have any intention of converting Earth's atmosphere to methane.

That would be impolite.

My score on The Glam Rock Guru Test :

Ziggy Stardust
(Smashing! You scored 83!)

Give my regards to Weird and Gilly! And the Spiders from Mars!You must be lefthanded, you glam rock star, you. You have the supreme honor of being in the catagory of "Glam Rock God(ess)". So, keep on boogien' with your well hung self and remember, you really are voodoo.Life is always better with a little glitter.

Music:

I'm fairly certain my life would be nigh unbearable without music. As for attempting to sum up my musical tastes in a neat little list....I could definitely, most happily, live without that.

Movies:

I like nerdy stuff. And pirates. And freaks. And snarky humor. And magick. And mind-melting, half-ass attempts at science. And melodrama.
Oh, and Johnny Depp. Most anything can be made better with a good dose of Johnny Depp...
Storytelling quality and escapism-potential are far more important than any particular subject or style.
That having been said, I despise Quentin Tarantino. Deal with it.

Television:

Again with the lists....Stargate SG1, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Da Vinci's Inquest, Wonderfalls, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Invader Zim, Freakazoid, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, House, umm....did I mention Stargate? Yeah, okay....Monty Python's Flying Circus....far too many shows than can possibly be healthy....oh, can't forget Xena....yep, I'm a nerd

Books:

Now this is a subject I could write about endlessly. I LOVE books....and I'm particularly attached to specific authors.
Oscar Wilde
J.M. Barrie
Lewis Carroll
Charles Baudelaire
Edgar Poe
Anne Rice
Neil Gaiman
Terry Pratchett
(speaking of the above two authors...read "Good Omens")
Frank Herbert
Shakespeare - but I think Sir Francis Bacon was the real author
the Marquis de Sade
Hmm, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Other names will occur to me right as I fall asleep, more than likely jolting me awake with this weird need to write something down.
As for style and subject matter, I tend to decide whether I like a book before I finish the first page, and there are only a few styles and subjects I avidly avoid. With the exception of Harry Potter, I tend to assume it's worthless crap if sold at Wal-Mart....so no mainstream best-sellers along the lines of Stephen King for me. I don't recall ever having willingly read anything sports related, romance novels bore me to death, and in a display of the worst kind of nerd-blasphemy, I find J.R.R. Tolkein's writing style to be physically painful to read.

Heroes:

hahaha...heroes....yeah, right...
Depending upon which part of my personality feels like expounding upon the vague concept of 'heroes', you'll get slightly different answers. The cynic in me staunchly believes thus: Humans are, by their very nature, egomaniacal idiots. Manage to get ahold of my inner idealist and you'll be told this: Humans are, by their very nature, egomaniacal idiots...but there are very rare exceptions.

Hmm...

To kill, or not to kill my MySpace page...decisions, decisions...
