Starving Artist You are 28% Rational, 14% Extroverted, 42% Brutal, and 57% Arrogant.

You are the Starving Artist! You are more intuitive than logical, and are primarily guided by your heart and emotions. You are also very introverted and gentle. Of course, this does not mean that you do not have an ego. In fact, you are surprisingly arrogant for someone so emotional and gentle. This is why you are best described as a starving artist. You are very introspective and quite sure of yourself, as any accomplished artist is, yet your views are impractical, emotional, and overly gentle. You probably find math, logic, and similar intellectual pursuits offensive to your artistic sensibilities, and you prefer the open-endedness of artistry because then you know you can never truly have a wrong answer. So really you have no reason to be arrogant, you big doofus, because the skills you value (emotion, spirit, art, etc.) in yourself are valuable only on a subjective level, meaning your arrogance is purely masturbatory. In short, your personality is defective because you are arrogant, introverted, introspective, gentle, and thoroughly irrational...posessing most of the traits needed to be a starving--and useless--artist. So get out there, write a few short stories that are allegories for the spirit, and starve! To put it less negatively: 1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational. 2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted. 3. You are more GENTLE than brutal. 4. You are more ARROGANT than humble. Compatibility: Your exact opposite is the Capitalist Pig. Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Haughty Intellectual, the Televangelist, and the Emo Kid. * * If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits. The other personality types: The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble. The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble. The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble. The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble. The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble. The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble. The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble. The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

And the TMI meme, stolen from many on my friends-list:

1. What is the geekiest part of your music collection?

Depends on your definition of "geeky." I would say it's The Douglas Frank Chorale The a Cappella Singer.

2. What do you eat when you raid the fridge late at night?

Depends on what I'm in the mood for. Chips and a good spicy salsa, or if I want something sweet -- ice cream or frozen yogurt.

3. What is your secret guaranteed weeping movie?

The Green Mile. I can't even listen to Pennies from Heaven without feeling like I could tear up.

4. If you could have plastic surgery, what would you have done?

Hmm. I do not know. I hate my tummy, so I'd probably get something done there.

5. Do you have a completely irrational fear?

Spiders. Holy jeebus, spiders. I also hate anyone getting too near my eyes. Makes going to the optometrist fun.

6. What is the little physical habit that gives away your insecure moments?

I blush. A creeping, hot blush that starts at my chest and goes up my neck. And then I sweat.

7. Do you like to be on the top or bottom?

Y'know, there are advantages to both. I'm inconsistent.

8. Do you have too many love interests?

...This is a really stupid question.

9. Do you know anyone famous?

Hmm. Not really, no.

10. Describe your bed:

A queen-sized extra-deep mattress and boxspring -- no headboard, alas. At the moment it has tan damask sheets, an off-white cotton woven blanket, and a duvet in a sage-green microfiber duvet cover. And pillows. LOTS of pillows. I myself only use three -- two for support, and a body pillow to curl up with.

11. Spit, swallow or gargle?

...GARGLE? WTF? As for the first two, it really depends. I've done both.

12. Who would play you in a movie?

Hrm. Kate Winslet.

13. Do you know how to play poker?

No, but I do get a great deal of spam offering to teach me how to play.

14. What do you carry with you at all times?

Lip balm/gloss, sunglasses, keys, cell phone.

15. When did you lose your virginity and did you regret it?

Sixteen, and you know? I think I do.

16. Are you happy with your given name?

I'd like it a lot better if people didn't keep mispronouncing it.


17. How much money would it take to get you to give up the Internet for one year?

....A lot. Main means of communication, and I do a LOT of shopping online. Never mind the classes I take (though will never teach again). They'd totally have to make it worth my while.


18. If you could only fulfill one of your fantasies, which would it be?

Having my novel published and adapted into a wildly successful summerblockbuster movie.


19. What was the last song you were listening to?

The Douglas Frank Chorale: "Dainty, Fine, Sweet Nymph"

20. Where is the most public place you have ever had sex?

A covered pier overlooking the Indian River.

21. Have you ever been in love?

Yep.

22. Do you talk a lot?

Depends on if I like who I'm talking to. ;) Seriously, though, I do fall into silence a lot. Sometimes I just don't have anything to say.

23. What is your favorite sexual position?

Hrm. I'd have to say doggy-style as well (popular answer though it is)

24. Do you consider yourself to be a nice person?

I try to be a nice person, which isn't always the same thing.

25. Do you spend more time with your girlfriend/boyfriend or your friends?

Hmm. I live with George, but hour-for-hour, I probably talk more with my friends since I can't really bother him while he's at work. Well, I could, but I doubt he'd appreciate it.

26. What is your ideal marriage location?

Outdoors, in a traditional English garden, when everything's in bloom, on a mild spring day.

27. How many sex toys do you have and which is your favorite?

Believe it or not, I'm actually between toys right now. But am expecting a package from Good Vibrations TODAY.

28. Favorite fabric?

Linen. --The good stuff, mind you.

29. Something you love and hate?

I love it when I finish the projects I begin.

I hate callous, thoughtless, selfish behavior.

30. Have you ever been tied up in your bed?

Heh. Yes.

31. Do you tell your friends about your sex life?

If they ask? Yes. And I have to know them well enough.

32. What's the one language you want to learn?

Italian -- it's my heritage.

33. How do you eat an apple?

Wash, cored, sliced, with peanut butter.

34. What do you order at a bar?

Bombay Sapphire and tonic with a wedge of lime.

35. Have you ever pierced your body parts?

Just my ears. I have three holes in my left and two in my right.

36. Do you have tattoos?

One. Considering a second.

37. What is your drug of choice?

Caffeine. No, really. Caffeine.

38. What's one trait you hate in a person?

Hypocrisy.

39. Ever had same-sex sex?

I guess it could be construed as sex. There was tequila involved, so the details are fuzzy... ;)


40. What was your most frivolous purchase?

Heh. I'm waiting on a package from BPAL.

41. Do you consider yourself materialistic?

A little, yeah.

42. What do you cook the best?

Hmm. The turkey I made last Thanksgiving rocked my socks, but other than that... baked goods. Cookies, breads, cinnamon buns -- stuff like that. Except pies. I suck at making crust.

43. Do you prefer to stand out or blend in?

I like to be memorable.

44. What kind of books do you like to read?

Fiction -- something with a plot, well-defined characters, suspense... I don't mind horror novels, but I'm difficult to please. Most horror novels seem either to be absurd or a graphic gorefest. I'd give my first-born for a GOOD vamprie novel. Stoker came fairly close, but even he missed the mark, IMO. Oh, if I'd been his editor, back in the day. ;)

45. If you won the lottery, what would you do?

Pay off my goddamn student loans -- then the car and credit cards. Then I'd build a house -- a two-story Victorian with a wrap-around porch -- and work in earnest on my writing.

46. Burial or cremation?

Knowing details of both, it's a hard call -- they're both oogy. But I think cremation.

47. Do you have a fetish?

Just one? Heh. Yes, I do. At least one.

48. What's one thing you're a loser at?

Math.

49. How many drinks before you're tipsy?

Depends on what I'm drinking, but if it's a good one? Probably about three, maybe four.

50. Do you think you're cute?

I've always said I'm too tall to be cute. I've been called cute, and then get accused of false modesty if I argue it. So... I guess I am, in a tall sort of way.
