All Shall Love Me and Despair

snagged from samena

My usual personality type result (INFP) with a slightly different interpretation... :)

( The Brutally Honest Personality Test )

Argh, I hate feeling as not-feeling-like-anything as I do now! Typical first-day-of-my-period day... I could watch the last episode of Return to Treasure Island. I could continue reading "Babylon Babies" or one of the non-fiction books I'm currently working my way through. I could read some of the fan fics I'm behind with. I could watch some of the other stuff I've had piling up for a while (like the Torchwood finale). I could go take a bath. I could decide to take one of the aforementioned books and snuggle up in bed with it and a hot water bottle. But of course I don't feel like any of that, and while I'm not particularly energetic, I'm not really sleepy either! Plus even though I didn't eat that much dinner, it's still lying heavy in my stomach. *rolls eyes* Tomorrow better be back to normal again!

( The Attachment Style Test )


Hmmm, this does ring true but not as strongly as it's put in here - though it is true that I like to have my space and a certain amount of independence, and don't like partners that cling to me. I do like being compared to Han Solo, though I'm far from a lovable rogue like him! :D Haven't seen nor read Much Ado About Nothing (yet) so I only know very little about Beatrice, however from what I do know I think again I'm much less of a free spirit than her.

*uses pervy Gladiator icon because she's still in a Joaquin kind of mood*

Hmmm not so sure about this one... :)

And totally unrelated, but I just have to mention once again how utterly CUTE and SEXY and TALENTED Sean Maher is. So please someone, ANYONE give that man a job (preferrably in something I'll have a chance to see), for fuck's sake! And there better not be a SAG strike...

This certainly didn't come as a surprise...

( What religion do you fit in? )

I realised I hardly posted anything except Hobbit updates lately. Mostly because I was very busy at work - the good kind - and still getting used to working 5 days a week again, after 6 years of working 4 days a week... It's not as bad as I feared it would be, but I'm still rather tired in the evenings, and seemingly being unable to sleep deeply and undisturbed doesn't help. Had worse phases though, other times.

The AO Foundation which I now work for celebrated its 50th anniversary on the last day of its Trustee Meeting (on the 14th), with a big gala dinner (about 800 people) which was held in the ice stadium here in Davos. You wouldn't have recognised it at all, it was so transformed! Amazing, and it was a fun night. I had also been on microphone duty in one of the parallel sessions at the meeting (ie carrying around a microphone for when someone in the audience wanted to ask the speaker a question) which was interesting, also thanks to the fact that each of the five times "my" session took place, there were different speakers, while in all the other sessions they had the same speakers...

Friday night I had some ex work colleagues from SLF here for dinner, using dishes from Nigella Lawson's book "Nigella Express", and thank goodness they all turned out delicious, and it was a lovely night.

Tomorrow there's a trip to the Italian part of Switzerland for AO employees. It will probably be hot - summer has finally arrived in Switzerland on Thursday, and today it was REALLY warm here already, so it will be even warmer down south. It will also be a long day, with us leaving at 6:30AM, and being back sometime in the evening, can't remember when.

I guess that's about it. I hope it will stay warm for a good while now!

Right, off to take a quick bath and wash my hair...

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.

2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.

3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.

4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

celtprincess13 wanted to know about ( these five: )

Comment if you'd like me to pick five of your icons, or if you're curious about other icons of mine. I can't promise how quickly I'll reply, but I'll try my best. :)



I hope everyone had a lovely (Easter) weekend! Mine was quiet. I didn't do half the things I had wanted to, didn't watch half the DVDs and downloads I wanted to, and didn't get as much good sleep as I would have needed, though it was better than was usual of late.

The DVDs/downloads I did watch were Elizabeth: The Golden Age (download), Sunshine (download), and L'Homme Blessé (DVD) featuring Vittorio Mezzogiorno. He played Arjuna in Peter Brook's Mahabharata, which is where I discovered him. I caught L'Homme Blessé on TV not much later on, but only just now got around to get the DVD. I also finally found DVDs of his two seasons on La Piovra - the legendary Italian mafia series from back in about the late 80s/early 90s. Well, I had found DVDs on Amazon Germany a while ago already, but they only contain the German language track, not the original Italian - WTF?! Thank goodness I now saw some Dutch (I think) DVD sets on eBay for a good price. Hope the seller can send them off soon! While checking his IMDB entry, I realised that it's been 14 years already since Vittorio left us. Incredible. He was a wonderful actor.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age was visually amazing and of course Cate is magnificent as always, and Clive Owen very dashing as Walter Raleigh. Also nice to see Geoffrey Rush again.

samena will be happy to hear that I loved Sunshine. Very impressive film with a good cast, and wonder of wonders, I wasn't creeped out by Cillian Murphy as much as I usually am by photos of him. Maybe it helped that his hair usually obscured his cheekbones at least a little. :) I do think it's the combination of big eyes, extremely prominent/high cheekbones, and big lips that creeps me out - it just makes him look... freaky.

by germansoulmate, and since I haven't done any memes in a while and this one has some interesting questions... :)

People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. Tag 8 people. Those who are tagged cannot refuse. These 8 people must state who they were tagged by. You cannot tag the person who tagged you. Continue this game by sending other people.

I'd be interested to see the replies of: baranduin, claudia603, eandme, hobbitlove83, saura, serenitysangel, trianne, westmoon. And of anyone else who wants to give it a go, obviously. :)

4. Unitarian Universalism (91%)
5. Liberal Quakers (80%)

How very ironic that Roman Catholic, which I was raised in, is second to last! :)

Hey serenitysangel - FedCon is getting better and better for you in regards to your harem: Kevin Sorbo was announced as a guest. :) Morena had to cancel, but you've met her a few times now. Should I hope they do or don't announce Sean Maher?




ETA: Since I haven't done any in a while, a meme I gakked from salwood:

You Know a Lot About Christmas

You got 5/10 correct You know tons about the history and traditions surrounding Christmas. When you celebrate the holidays, you never forget their true meaning - or all the little fun details. Random Christmas fact: The average mall Santa is 5'9, 218 lbs, and 52 years old. The average waist size is 43 inches.

Now I'd like to know which questions I answered wrongly, and what the correct answers are.

You Should Be an Artist

You are incredibly creative, spontaneous, and unique. No one can guess what you're going to do next, but it's usually something amazing. You can't deal with routine, rules, or structure. You're easily bored. As long as you are able to innovate and break the rules, you are extremely successful. You do best when you: - Can work by yourself - Can express your personality in your work You would also be a good journalist or actor.

Nothing new here! *g*

Out of curiosity, I also looked up the result of the one I liked second best, which you can find ( behind this cut )
