MY LIFE ACCORDING TO MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000:

( MASTER NINJA THEME SONG! )

My RL name has me under 681: Precision Instruments which says " You are creative and inspired to make the world a better place. You can work hard on something when it catches your interest. Your friends have unique interests in common with you."

Accurate? Not? Has nothing to do with the shooting at the Holocaust Museum, which for some reason I thought it was somewhere else that had been hit by an arsonist a few years earlier.

From Anglo-Saxon Magic by Dr. G. Storms. "Dr. G. Storms" is what's on the title-page!

There is nothing in the whole passage that looks like Christian influence, it is absolutely pagan. Grimm* thought it was Germanic, but it occurs almost word for word in the Latin Herbaium Apulei, of which the Anglo-Saxon text is a free version. The title of the work should have warned Grim that the chances were great this this particular passage was a borrowing, but otherwise his mistake is natural. If we did not posses the Latin original it might be regarded as a typical instance of Anglo-Saxon herb-gathering, for the above way of gathering medicinal herbs,with all the accompanying prescriptions and prohibitions, had also to be observed by the Anglo-Saxons. Hoops** was of opinion that if a herb was imported into Northern Europe by the Romans the superstition attached to it was also imported.

*Jacob Grimm, in this instance.
**Johannes Hoops. Studied similar things as Grimm, only way less famous.

Technically, The Dragon's Tongue by Gerald Morgan was a little closer but were of statistics for the amount of money fronted by patrons of the early Welsh press.

Right. Back to drawing for an art project for "Girls Like Us." It was fine untill I realized that I'd have to draw the title page for the comic, and I don't know what half the figures look like. *facepalm*

When you see this, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride. Preferably not "As you wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech.

Movie: "Life is pain! Anybody who tells you anything else is selling you something."

Book: This was, of course, after taxes. Everything came after taxes, including stew.

If I was a bit more together, I'd probably dig out my copy of he book and quote bits of Wesley's "to the pain!" speech or the entire chapter on Fezzik and Indigo going down the stairs in the Zoo of Death.

Well, maybe a bit of the going down into the Zoo of Death:

"I apologize," Indigo said. "One lie in all these years, that's not a bad average considering that it saved our lives."
"There's such thing as principle." was all that Fezzik would answer, and opened the door that led to the fourth level.

From karokegal:

Take a look at my Icon list and list:

1. One that makes you automatically think of me.
2. One that you think I should TOTALLY use more often.
3. One that you don't get/needs more explanation/you have no idea why the hell I have it, and I will explain it.

Poor Wisota was sick this morning, throwing up stomach acid. So I've been cleaning, and washing my sheets. And doing memes! The first one is above the cut because it's a rather pretty picture. Earlier when I did this same quiz I ended up with "Trailblazer", the main difference was what stood out to me on one picture: The Washington Monument or the crowds afore the Washington Monument.

Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...
