Not unexpected ...


You are The Empress


Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.


The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.


The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

That album cover meme

I did this ages ago (Guardian website link, I think) and never got around to putting it together. It was a link to random pictures, a link to random Wikipedia articles, and a link to a quotes page. Put together for random album cover with random title and group. I rather liked this (which I got on the first attempt, no cheating):

Somehow I don't think so ...

Your Personality is Very Rare ... Your personality type is dreamy, romantic, elegant, and expressive.

Only about 5% of all people have your personality, including 6% of all women and 4% of all men
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving.

[This should have had the link to the original quiz, but I managed to mis-paste the HTML and have only just realised I could edit the entry.  Suspect I'm too old for this new-fangled technology stuff :-S ]

Hm

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.


"It is scarcely possible not to notice that the definition of the police mandate escaped Ockhams Rasor."

From which you will deduce ...

... the nearest book was a PhD text  ...

... the author of which writes bloody awful sentences.  Why couldn't he just say, "you will notice that ..."
