75% Tastefulness, 43% Originality, 79% Deliberateness, 61% Sexiness | [Tasteful Conventional Deliberate Sexy]
You like to have the best of what's fashionable. You pay attention to the way you are dressed, adapting the things you see on models so that they emphasize the qualities of your own body, which you are rather proud of. You don't care much about being extravagant, thinking that being trendy is a better way to feel good and to look good. Perhaps you happen to look down on those who choose their own taste over fashion creators' directions. In other words on the pathetic fashion victims who wear red when everyone else wears pink. But maybe you just pity them. You probably have an opinion of a well-dressed person and many copycat your choices, knowing that you are a fashion radar. They envy you your impeccable taste.
The opposite style from yours is Hippy Kid [Flamboyant Original Random Prissy].

| How sweet it would be just to let go, for once.
To trust that there would be something there -
something strong, something competent, something powerful -
to catch you and bring you to a safe landing.
Most of us know exactly what we want -
the support system that we desire to exist in our lives -
and it's usually what you can never have -
and you'll find yourself dreaming and yearning for it to come true.
You will never be sure that the target of the desire and obsession -
will ever fulfill the darkest secrets that lay within you -
Nevertheless - I remain convinced that it will.

I found something totaly ridiculous in the National Vanguard ( a white
supremacist newspaper - which obviously I do not support considering my
background but hey it's fun to read how ridiculous they are) - Anyhow,
here's an excerpt from one of their colums which I found totally
ridiculous and somewhat true...
---------------------------
On the night of the inauguration, a child asks her father why Bush sends our boys to die in the Iraqi Civil War.
Q: Daddy, why did Bush have to attack Iraq?
A: Because they had weapons of mass destruction, honey.
Q: But the inspectors didn't find any weapons of mass destruction.
A: That's because the Iraqis were hiding them.
Q: And that's why Bush invaded Iraq?
A: Yep. Invasions always work better than inspections.
Q: But after Bush invaded them, he still didn't find any weapons of mass destruction, did he?
A: That's because the weapons are so well hidden. Don't worry, he'll find something.
Q: Why did Iraq want all those weapons of mass destruction?
A: To use them in a war, silly.
Q: I'm confused. If they had all those weapons that they
planned to use in a war, then why didn't they use any of those weapons
when he went to war with them?
A: Well, obviously they didn't want anyone to know they
had those weapons, so they chose to die by the thousands rather than
defend themselves.
Q: That doesn't make sense Daddy. Why would they choose to die if they had all those big weapons to fight him back with?
A: It's a different culture. It's not supposed to make sense.
Q: I don't know about you, but I don't think they had any of those weapons the government said they did.
A: Well, you know, it doesn't matter whether or not they had those weapons. He had another good reason to invade them anyway.
Q: And what was that?
A: Even if Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction,
Saddam Hussein was a cruel dictator, which is another good reason to
invade another country.
Q: Why? What does a cruel dictator do that makes it OK to invade his country?
A: Well, for one thing, he tortured his own people.
Q: Kind of like what they do in China?
A: Don't go comparing China to Iraq. China is a good
economic competitor, where millions of people work for slave wages in
sweatshops to make multinational corporations richer.
Q: So if a country lets its people be exploited for corporate gain, it's a good country, even if that country tortures people?
A: Right.
Q: Why were people in Iraq being tortured?
A: For political crimes, mostly, like criticizing the
government. People who criticized the government in Iraq were sent to
prison and tortured.
Q: Isn't that exactly what happens in China?
A: I told you, China is different.
Q: What's the difference between China and Iraq?
A: Well, for one thing, Iraq was ruled by the Ba'ath party, while China is Communist.
Q: Didn't you once tell me Communists were bad?
A: No, just Cuban Communists are bad.
Q: How are the Cuban Communists bad?
A: Well, for one thing, people who criticize the government in Cuba are sent to prison and tortured.
Q: Like in Iraq?
A: Exactly.
Q: And like in China, too?
A: I told you, China's a good economic competitor. Cuba, on the other hand, is not.
Q: How come Cuba isn't a good economic competitor?
A: Well, you see, back in the early 1960s, our government
passed some laws that made it illegal for Americans to trade or do any
business with Cuba until they stopped being Communists and started
being capitalists like our leaders.
Q: But if we got rid of those laws, opened up trade with
Cuba, and started doing business with them, wouldn't that help the
Cubans become capitalists?
A: Don't be a smart-ass.
Q: I didn't think I was being one.
A: Well, anyway, they also don't have freedom of religion in Cuba.
Q: Kind of like China and the Falun Gong movement?
A: I told you, stop saying bad things about China. Anyway,
Saddam Hussein came to power through a military coup, so he's not
really a legitimate leader anyway.
Q: What's a military coup?
A: That's when a military general takes over the government
of a country by force, instead of holding free elections like we do in
the United States.
Q: Didn't the ruler of Pakistan come to power by a military coup?
A: You mean General Pervez Musharraf? Uh, yeah, he did, but Pakistan is our friend.
Q: Why is Pakistan our friend if their leader is illegitimate?
A: I never said Pervez Musharraf was illegitimate.
Q: Didn't you just say a military general who comes to power
by forcibly overthrowing the legitimate government of a nation is an
illegitimate leader?
A: Only Saddam Hussein. Pervez Musharraf is our friend, because he helped us invade Afghanistan.
Q: Why did we invade Afghanistan?
A: Because of what they did to us on September 11th.
Q: What did Afghanistan do to us on September 11th?
A: Well, on September 11th, nineteen men? Fifteen of them
Saudi Arabians? hijacked four airplanes and flew three of them into
buildings, killing over 3,000 Americans.
Q: So how did Afghanistan figure into all that?
A: Afghanistan was where those bad men trained, under the oppressive rule of the Taliban.
Q: Aren't the Taliban those bad radical Islamics who chopped off people's heads and hands?
A: Yes, that's exactly who they were. Not only did they chop off people's heads and hands, but they oppressed women, too.
Q: Didn't the Bush administration give the Taliban $43 million back in May of 2001?
A: Yes, but that money was a reward because they did such a good job fighting drugs.
Q: Fighting drugs?
A: Yes, the Taliban were very helpful in stopping people from growing opium poppies.
Q: How did they do such a good job?
A: Simple. If people were caught growing opium poppies, the Taliban would have their hands and heads cut off.
Q: So, when the Taliban cut off people's heads and hands for
growing flowers, that was OK, but not if they cut people's heads and
hands off for other reasons?
A: Yes. It's OK with us if radical Islamic fundamentalists
cut off people's hands for growing flowers, but it's cruel if they cut
off people's hands for stealing.
Q: Don't they also cut off people's hands and heads in Saudi Arabia?
A: That's different. Afghanistan was ruled by a tyrannical patriarchy that oppressed women and forced them to wear burqas whenever they were in public, with death by stoning as the penalty for women who did not comply.
Q: Don't Saudi women have to wear burqas in public, too?
A: No, Saudi women merely wear a traditional Islamic body covering.
Q: What's the difference?
A: The traditional Islamic covering worn by Saudi women is a
modest yet fashionable garment that covers all of a woman's body except
for her eyes and fingers. The burqa, on the other hand, is an evil tool
of patriarchal oppression that covers all of a woman's body except for
her eyes and fingers.
Q: It sounds like the same thing with a different name.
A: Now, don't go comparing Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are our friends.
Q: But I thought you said fifteen of the nineteen hijackers on September 11th were from Saudi Arabia.
A: Yes, but they trained in Afghanistan.
Q: Who trained them?
A: A very bad man named Osama bin Laden.
Q: Was he from Afghanistan?
A: Uh, no, he was from Saudi Arabia too. But he was a bad man, a very bad man.
Q: I seem to recall he was our friend once.
A: Only when we helped him and the mujahadeen repel the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan back in the 1980s.
Q: Who are the Soviets? Was that the "Evil Communist Empire" Ronald Reagan talked about?
A: There are no more Soviets. The Soviet Union broke up in
1990 or thereabouts, and now they have elections and capitalism like
us. Our leaders call them Russians now.
Q: So the Soviets? I mean, the Russians? are now our friends?
A: Well, not really. You see, they were our leaders' friends
for many years after they stopped being Soviets, but then they decided
not to support their invasion of Iraq, so they're mad at them now.
They're also mad at the French and the Germans because they didn't help
them invade Iraq either.
Q: So the French and Germans are evil, too?
A: Not exactly evil, but just bad enough that we had to
rename French fries and French toast to Freedom Fries and Freedom
Toast.
Q: Do they always rename foods whenever another country doesn't do what they want them to do?
A: No, they just do that to their friends. Their enemies, they invade.
Q: But wasn't Iraq one of their friends back in the 1980s?
A: Well, yeah. For a while.
Q: Was Saddam Hussein ruler of Iraq back then?
A: Yes, but at the time he was fighting against Iran, which made him our leaders’ friend, temporarily.
Q: Why did that make him their friend?
A: Because at that time, Iran was our leaders’ enemy.
Q: Isn't that when they say he gassed the Kurds?
A: Yeah, but since he was fighting against Iran at the time, they looked the other way, to show him they were his friend.
Q: So anyone who fights against one of their enemies automatically becomes their friend?
A: Most of the time, yes.
Q: And anyone who fights against one of their friends is automatically an enemy?
A: Sometimes that's true, too. However, if multinational
corporations can profit by selling weapons to both sides at the same
time, all the better.
Q: Why?
A: Because war is good for the global economy, which means
war is good for America. Also, since God is on America's leaders' side,
anyone who opposes war is a godless un-American Communist. Do you
understand now why they attacked Iraq?
Q: I think so. They attacked them because God wanted them to, right?
A: Yes.
Q: But how did they know God wanted them to attack Iraq?
A: Well, you see, God personally speaks to George W. Bush and tells him what to do.
Q: So basically, what you're saying is that he attacked Iraq because George W. Bush hears voices in his head?
A: Yes! You finally understand how the world works. Now
close your eyes, make yourself comfortable, and go to sleep. Good
night.
Good night, Daddy.

| If there is anything someone should know of me, it is that I love
attention...lots and lots of attention. I have a very demanding
ego and anyone around me would most likely be constantly reminded of
it. You either stroke my ego or lose me to someone who would.
Isn't life wonderful?

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind... my mind...
