Time for online quizzes
Your result for The Personality Defect Test...
Spiteful Loner
To put it less negatively:
1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.
2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.
3. You are more BRUTAL than gentle.
4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.
Compatibility:
Your exact opposite is the Televangelist.
Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Capitalist Pig, the Smartass, and the Sociopath.
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.

Yep. Another music meme
What music are you currently grooving to?
Groove is the word. Currently I'm giving a lot of time to some of the funkier Medeski, Martin and wood pieces. My head seems to not require actual lyrics at this point in mental evolution, just good melodies and a groove.
What, if push comes to shove, is your all-time favorite album?
Damn. What a question. It depends entirely what mood I am in. I think listening to music is similar to eating. It's an essential part of me and I tend to feel undernourished if I don't ingest enough. But it's a matter of what you feel like, and that depends on a lot of factors. For example, I love a good ceasar salad, but it isn't the top of my list on a cold wintery day. Probably my favourite album would be Pearl Jam's Ten. I don't listen to it often at all, but I have it when I feel like it, and it's extremely satisfying.
What was the first record you ever bought? And where did you buy it?
Oh tragedy. From these, the only way is up. They were both bought in my local shopping centre, on the weekly Saturday morning shopping expeditions.
My first cassette: Jason Donovan - Ten Good Reasons
My first CD: Roxette - Joyride
Which musician have you ever wanted to be?
Myself, first and foremost - however I'd love to be a session muso. I'm far too eclectic (diverse, if I'm being nice to myself or unfocused if I'm being a realist) to specialise in one particular genre.
What do you sing in the shower?
My own melodies, generally based over some internal groove that I have at the time.
What is your favorite Saturday night record?
Jamiroquai, followed closely by anything funky of a similar groove. I use this music to pump up, get happy, to get in a positive mood.
And your Sunday morning record?
Now that the warmer weather is about, I'm enjoying The Cat Empire's new alnum So Many Nights. It's bright, brassy and latin influenced, and perfect to lay about in the sun to.

More of the Meme Backlog
But you can call me VB, Groover or whatever takes your fancy, really.
Never in my life have I taken hard drugs.
When I am nervous I have shaking hands. It's great for a natural vibrato if you're playing guitar.
The last song I listened to was ... I'm currently listening Rodrigo y Gabriela currently, and I have two of their albums in iTunes. So one of those pieces will be the last piece I listened to by the time I post this.
If I were to get married right now, it would be to ... I'm not. I would rather die than get put into that.
My hair is gathering it's ranks into a Raghead Rebellion. It will march its way toward the hairdresser's to get cut down in its masses this week.
When I was four, I climbed onto a table. Which led to a garden shed roof. Which led to the garage. Which led to the top of the rather high kitchen roof. I had a stick in my hand. It was my climbing stick. I waved to my father. He shat himself. He made me drop the stick. I missed the stick. Years later I climbed the roof to find the stick and it was no longer there. I still mourn my climbing stick.
Last Christmas I spent without family for the first time. It was brilliant.
I should be in the sun, soaking up the spring loveliness.
When I look down I see Funkee Monkee pyjama pants on my barely awake body.
The happiest recent event was winning four games of pool in a row, holding the table. Normally I enjoy the game but I'm not that good.
If I were a character in Friends I would be one of those people who comes into the cafe to drink coffee as an extra, and then leaves again. Someone that doesn't participate in the bullshit.
By this time, next year, I will be looking forward to my birthday again.
My current distress is being in financial dire straits. Having bucketloads of cash is not at all important to me. But keeping my head above water when it comes to bills is a priority.
I have a hard time understanding my own thought processes.
There's these girls who I can't help but stare at their boobs. In my defense, it's a height thing. They're right at my eye level.
If I won an award, the first person I would tell is probably Blogville, if anyone. I don't like limelight in that way.
I want to buy a ticket to somewhere other than here.
I plan on visiting somewhere other than here.
If I could spend the night at any house, it would be anywhere that I feel comfortable and accepted, happy.
The world could do without MIDI on-hold music. Half an hour of the same tune being dinged out with no expression in it at all and they wonder why you have the shits when someone finally answers.
The most recent thing I bought myself is (not counting food) new sheets.
The most recent thing that someone else bought for me was the coolest pair of thigh high socks I've ever seen.
My middle name is so unliked by me that I changed it to an initial when I declared for a tax file number at fifteen. But hey, this is my blog - the place where I put all that crap... Here goes... Alice.
In the morning I can't function without caffeine.
Last night I was cursing my inability to find the remote control for the stereo.
There is this guy I know who taught me everything I know about nail care.
If I was an animal, I would be a mosquito. Just so that I could find out whether Aeroguard really does make people invisible to mosquitoes.
A better name for me would be Groover.
Tomorrow, I am having an easy day.
Tonight, I am drinking a boutique beer for Viktoberfest and trying to edit a video clip.

The Seven Deadly Sins Meme
Whom did you last get angry with? The driver of the car in front of me who decided that the roundabout had to entirely free of cars and approaching cars, and cars that might possibly come in that direction in the next few minutes, before deciding it was safe to enter the roundabout for himself.
What is your weapon of choice? A quick tongue.
Would you hit a member of the opposite sex? Yes, and I have. I have the worst fiery temper loss when I am picked on for no reason and pushed in an unreasonable manner. It takes a lot, but when I lose control I can hurt. I might write about that incident one day. Also, when it comes to self-defence I certainly would hit back.
How about the same sex? If it was for self-defence, yes.
Who was the last person who got really angry at you? I try not to piss people off. Truly.
What is your pet peeve? Idiots who can't tell when I don't like them.
Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily? I guess I do hold grudges. There are certain people that I avoid associating with because of things they have done to me. That's me holding a grudge and acting on it.
Sloth
What is one thing you're supposed to do daily that you haven't? Exercise. In order to have more energy, I should exercise. But usually I'm tired and I don't have the time or energy. Catch 22.
What is the latest you've ever woken up? Definately after noon. But then I go back for more.
Name a person you've been meaning to contact, but haven't? Most of my friends from highschool.
What is the last lame excuse that you made? I was too busy ...[moulding the shape of my arse into the lounge]...
Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through? Yes. It's sad when you have favourites.
How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock this morning? None, but my standard is six times.
Gluttony
What is your overpriced yuppie beverage of choice? Imported beers.
Are you a meat eater? Yes, but I'd rather not eat it full time. A couple of meals a week and the rest as vegetarian. This is my ideal, and much easier stuck to when I was living alone and not having to fit in with the meals of others.
What is the greatest amount of alcohol you've had in one sitting? Most of a carton of beer in one go.
Are you comfortable with your drinking and eating habits? I'm fine with my drinking, but I eat far too much.
Do you enjoy candy and sweets? Not often. I prefer a really good apple.
Which do you prefer: sweets, salty foods or spicy foods? Salty foods. I'm a spice weenie (I love it but hate the burning lips feeling), and I can't handle too many sweets either.
Have you ever looked at a small house pet or child and thought, "lunch"? No. I've thought "die" before. Does that count?
Greed
How many credit cards do you own? None.
If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it? Buy a home, and travel.
Would you rather be rich or famous? Rich. I can quite happily sit in the background, spending my money and not have anybody know who I am.
Would you accept a boring job if it meant that you would make megabucks? Yes, but not for a long term. I'd take the megabucks for a year or so, set myself up and then can the job.
Pride
What's one thing that you have done that you're most proud of? Hmmm. Realising that my ex is a life-sucking bitch and that I am better off cutting off all contact with her.
What's one thing you have done that your parents are most proud of? About this I have no idea. I don't know what makes them tick. At the moment I don't know why they still bother harassing me to find out what I'm up to. I'm not motivated at all by what may make them proud, anyway.
What thing would you like to accomplish late in your life? Dying gracefully.
Do you get annoyed by coming in second place? Yes.
Have you ever entered a contest of skill, knowing you were of much higher skill than all the other competitors? No.
Have you ever cheated to get a better score? I went through months of Friday night canasta games with my parents. I lost consistently and could not stand my father's gloating. So at the end of each hand I used to add a little to my score, in an attempt to hide how much I was actually getting thrashed by. It didn't work. Eventually I changed my game to a completely different style and went on an equally long winning streak. I didn't gloat.
What did you do today that you're proud of? Made it home alive.
Lust
How many people have you seen naked (not counting movies, family, strippers, locker rooms)? Honestly I don't know. I counted, ran out of fingers, had a recount and an "Oh yeah that's right - forgot about that one" moment before I gave up.
How many people have seen you naked (not counting physicians, doctors, family, locker rooms, or when you were a young child)? Hmm. Same answer.
Have you ever caught yourself staring at the chest/crotch of a person of your chosen sex during a normal conversation? Hell yes. Oops.
What is your favorite body part of a person of your gender choice? Hair. Running my fingers through her hair.
Have you ever had sexual encounters (including kissing/making out) with multiple persons? Yes. Including my first time.
Have you ever been propositioned by a prostitute? No. Until recently it was on my to-do list.
Envy
What item of your friends would you most want to have for your own? I don't like to covet the possessions of others.
Who would you want to go on "Trading Spaces" with? I'll skip this question on the basis of ignorance.
If you could be anyone who existed in the world, who would you be? Vic, she's a groover.
Have you ever been cheated on? No. Not that I know of, anyway.
Have you ever wished you had a physical feature different from your own? Of course. I have a different image of myself mentally and often catch a reflection of myself and think - "Shit. That's right. You're shorter and stockier. Damn."
What inborn trait do you see in others that you wish you had for yourself? Hmm. Another toughie. I'm just me, and I don't think I can take cues from others for that.
What deadly sin...
Do you do the most often? Regrettably, Sloth.
Do you do the least often? Envy.
Is your favorite to act on? Lust. Definately.
