  • (Sex Bomb Sex Bomb…) Quiz of the Moment

    Just about everyone I know on LJ has been taking this damn quiz, so I thought I’d look and see how I did.

    20 Questions to a Better Relationship

    eXpressive: 6/10
    Practical: 4/10
    Physical: 5/10
    Giver: 8/10

    You are a XSYG–Expressive Sentimental Physical Giver. This makes you a Sex Bomb.

    You are sexy sex sex sex! The sexness! You are the sexiest, hottest and most charismatic of all types. You are a captivating speaker and a great dinner date — relaxed, self-effacing, charming and generous. Your type probably has origins in something sad — trying to keep the peace in a tough family situation, or an early heartbreak — and you’ll probably want to address and resolve that at some point, but in your relationships that heartache is pure gold!

    You lie effortlessly — not necessarily a bad thing. You can have problems with fidelity. You need frequent praise and validation, and in seeking it you can make decisions that aren’t consistent with your general good judgment. In other words, don’t cheat on your significant other just because someone is paying attention to you.

    You strongly dislike conflict, and will avoid it. Like an XPYG, you give so much of yourself to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don’t get the same in return. But you internalize your feelings more and have a hard time getting over them. You don’t *want* to cheat — you just keep finding yourself in vulnerable situations. But you’ll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please.

    Your sex life will always be hot. You are one of the rare people who can keep the fires of passion going forever — if you find a good match. Find another XSYG and you will never need (or want) anyone else again.

    Of the 33007 people who have taken this quiz, 9 % are this type.

    Hrm, I’m not sure what I think of that quiz. I certainly would never use the term ‘Sex Bomb’ to describe myself. Though the parts about disliking conflict are very true. I think I might be an XSYG with RSYG tendencies.

  • Tune of the Day: For the Love of Life – David Sylvian

    I haven’t been keeping up with this as much as I’d like, but I hope to be a little bit more on the ball for at least the next week.

    For today we have For the Love of Life, by David Sylvian (mp3). Which is the ending song for the anime Monster. I’ve been a fan of his for a while and when I watched the first episode of Monster I remember thinking, “hey… this sounds like David Sylvian.” And while watching the credits I saw it was! It’s such a wonderful song to use as the ending to that show.

    EDIT: OOps, forgot the link the first time round.

  • Tune of the Day 07/21/2004: Oingo Boingo – It Only Makes me Laugh

    Boingo Alive CoverToday’s song is one that I tend to listen to when all my health issues get to me and I’m feeling a bit down. Off of Boingo Alive, here’s It Only Makes Me Laugh. Because darkness can never last too long, when you laugh in its face.
