| You scored as Neville Longbottom You are Neville Longbottom. You come across as shy, quiet, and reserved. Underneath, you are deeply caring of your friends and/or family and would put yourself at risk to defend them, even though you would usually exclude yourself from arguments. You don't care much for competition or glory. Maintaining peace and justice are much more important to you.

blah
| What Kristin Means |
 You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. |
ok, so two out of the six paragraphs are a bit iffy (nos. 2 and 4)but the other four are spot on.

a funny thing happened on my way to the office
before anything else, i'm pimping my friend chary's new lj comm, 
gingersnaps_fic, which is where she's posting this whole saga of gingers from harry potter. i'll leave you to discover just who's on there. suffice to say this is what i'm into 24/7, basically doing beta work and being the wall (where she bounces ideas off of).
oh, since i already upgraded my lj account to plus, i get to post this by email. same as with my two other blogs. yippee. no more website problems, hopefully. now i just have to master the lj-cut.
so, friday last week. i tuned in to mornings at maxville just in time. vito and tetta have been pimping this show over the last few days, because they have a guest coming in: a psychic/clairvoyant going by the name angel. who just happens to be on the phonebook of several politicians and big-name networks, and whose mobile will ring even at odd hours of the night. that's how in demand she is.
obviously, angel is there primarily to give some general predictions to ring in the new year, and some specific predictions for the resident skeptic, vito. and if time allows, even the listeners of the show. so they invited said listeners to text in their names and birthdays, and their specific query if they have one. since they said the magic word, this minion sent her name and birthday, and no specific question since she was curious what angel will think is a significant matter for her. and then i waited.
it didn't take long. after vito's enviable forecast (like, hello, if someone told you to trust your instincts because you'll hardly get it wrong, expect everyone else to be green), tetta announced that they picked two listeners off the list of many (i assumed) texters. and the lucky person who got first mention was me (surprise!) i don't remember the specifics, but the gist is that this might be a good year to look for a new job or some other line of work, or get into some new moneymaking scheme. but the clincher was, angel also said that my work right now is b-o-r-i-n-g. i swear i almost laughed out loud in the car, and i was listening though my headset!
honestly, i don't put too much store in predictions, horoscopes and the like. i'm not one of those people who would pay good money to have my fortune read from tarot cards. but i don't reject them outright either. one of my biggest character traits (which i acknowledge is that of a typical libra) is believing any argument that has a logical basis or explanation. even if two opposite arguments are presented to me, i have the tendency to believe both, with some twisted logic in my head connecting them. actually it's quite simplistic, i just think that every side of an argument always has a basis, even if the conclusion itself is faulty. so the gist of that pretty convoluted rambling is that i can believe anything. and in that vein, i still believe, somewhat, in fortunetelling, but my own interpretation of that belief is that 1) i can always spin a prediction to mean several different things, and it can always apply, and 2) it is ultimately my choice. no matter what the foretune teller tells you to do, if it's not in you to do it, then it won't happen. and i'm stopping here before i start getting confused in my own logic.
and the last funny thing, which happened when i'm at the office, is that my officemate (who also listens to the program) asked me if i'm going to look for a new job. secret!
