Do you Match Me?

Take My MatchMe Test

Brought to you by:
OkCupid - Free Online Dating!

My score on The Which Transformer Are You Test :

Galvatron
(You scored 43% Leadership, 23% Loyalty, 39% Confidence, and 61% Cunning!)

Megatron's alter ego. You share all the same leadership skills, but are lower on loyalty (damn Starscream) and higher on cunning (damned be the one who overthrows you!). Not only that, but you are so much more sleek and sexy. And with that crown helmet, there will be no doubt that you are the leader of all Decepticons.

Music:


NOise (my music), Lots of different stuff - Tool, Muse, NIN, A Perfect Circle, Wintersleep, Puscifer, VAST, Marilyn Manson, Chevelle, System Of A Down, Tori Amos, Imogen Heap, Alice In Chains, Pantera, Enya, Metallica, Megadeth, (most '90's metal and grunge - hey, I'm old), most new bands suck! Plus, I'd like to mention my friends, Rich Kelly, Geoff Hartwell, Chris Burke, Mishti, and Petey Hop - check out their Myspace pages via the 'friends' section! Tell them I sent ya.

Movies:

I've seen more films than you. Quiz me. Top favorites: Fight Club, Citizen Kane, Leon: The Professional, Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko, An Inconvenient Truth, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Johnny Got His Gun, Pulp Fiction, The Butcher Boy, Amelie, City of Lost Children, Delicatessen, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Fisher King, American Psycho, Titus, The Princess and the Warrior, Garden State, Evil Dead II, Monster's Inc. My favorites list is shorter than my least favorites list. Top of least favorites list - Dancer in the Dark.

Television:

Reality has become what's on T.V. and what was reality has become hyper-reality. I spend too much time flipping through channels to settle on anything for long. Sadly, I watch a lot of news and it pisses me off. House, Scrubs, Rome, and Family Guy are favorites right now. Past favorites include Six Feet Under, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Transformers (G1).

Books:

My novel, WHATEVER, can be read in my blog as well as more of my work. I enjoy anything history, psychology, or culture. Complete Idiot's guides, Introducing, and For Dummies books are great refreshers. Stuff I'm reading now - Neuro-linguistic Programming For Dummies, Marx books, Nietzsche books, poetry by Bukowski, Plath, and Frost. Chuck Palahniuk, Douglas Coupland, Will Christopher Baer, and Russell Andrews' GIDEON is sampled in the NOise song "Gideon" which I will get around to making a video for with my puppets (check pics). Lately it's been various lit mags and college textbooks. Favorites include the classics - Catcher in the Rye, A Clockwork Orange, 1984, Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger, The Vampire Lestat.I've read a lot but still never made it through the first page of the bible.

Heroes:

Rachael, Katherine, Marie, Christine - I wish you well.
