Your Element Is Water

That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep.

Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily.
You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others.

You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves.
You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful. What's Your Element?
Your Stripper Song Is
Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard

"Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?"

Break out the baby oil, you rock it old school. What Song Should You Strip To?
You Should Rule Mercury
Close to sun, Mercury has very long days - and is rarely visible to the rest of the solar system.

You are perfect to rule Mercury, because you live for the present - and can truly enjoy a day that goes on forever.
Like Mercury, you are quick and elusive. Your wit is outstanding, and you can win any verbal sparring match.

Some people see you as superficial, but in truth, you just play many roles and have many interests.
A great manipulator, you usually get what you want from people. And they're happy to give it to you. What Planet Should You Rule?

Music:

Rock, Rock, Rock 'n Roll! mspobj classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

Movies:

Favorite to date is Grandma's Boy. Haven't seen it? You should. Just be prepared to laugh until you roll of the couch in a fit of convulsions. And if you've seen it and don't think its funny, shame on you :-P *New Favorite movie is Crank. Dear god, the laughs. It's fantastic, seriously. Don't believe me? Just ask me.

Television:

Just got Cable!!! I'm used to 2 channels, so I'm in heaven! And Dear God, PrisonBreak! You have to love a plot where no one's really safe from getting captured or killed, it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I crave the next episodes like a fat man craves McDonald's. If you haven't checked it out yet, you totally should. Season 1's on DVD!

Books:

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause, very cool. Companions of the Night by Vivian Van Velde, incredibly creepy. A Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels by Libba Bray. They have everything. Also, Glass Houses by Rachael Caine, nice Vampire novel. In love with Stephanie Meyers's works, Twilight and New Moon. Such kick ass work from someone I'd never heard of before. Don't get me started on books, I'll type all night.

Heroes:

My mom, for putting up with my crap my entire life, and for surviving my wedding :-) Also my dear loving husband for dealing with my day to day freak outs and psychosis. And my nasty little ankle injury. Don't swan dive off of 4ft cabinets, it ain't pretty.
