musings, rantings and memes

[cornerofmadness]

rantings - adobe acrobat needs to die. Every time i try to acess the test bank cd's it freezes. Bite me. Oh well, so much for not having to type the WHOLE final

musings - the anti-Mary Sue. Lately in my favored genre (mystery) I've been seeing an archetype I've taken to calling the anti-MS. Okay she still has friends and all but she's NOT pretty (striking maybe) she has bad hair, she doesn't wear make up, she doesn't know how to dress herself or handle herself at parties. Often she has a scheming mother/sister/best friend telling her how to 'improve' herself. Now, this woman exists of course. Heck, she's mostly me and a good chunk of my flist. The thing is I'm tired of seeing her. Mostly I think because she seems to be used as a model to break out of the feminine model of women are nothing but pretty eye candy who can't do much of anything. I'd like to see something different I guess. How about a woman with average looks, a slight clue as how to dress herself and has a touch of social grace, you know like most average women. I'm having trouble rooting for a woman who's even more of a social outcast than i am. Thoughts?

as for the meme, well it's not meant to be taken seriously of course and it does mean to be snarky (i usually place in ISTP in case you're wondering)

Loser- INTP 26% Extraversion, 73% Intuition, 66% Thinking, 46% Judging

Talked to another human being lately? I'm serious. You value knowledge above ALL else. You love new ideas, and become very excited over abstractions and theories. The fact that nobody else cares still hasn't become apparent to you... Nerd's a great word to describe you, and I seriously couldn't care less about the different definitions of the word and why you're actually more of a geek than a nerd. Don't pretend you weren't thinking that. You want every single miniscule fact and theory to be presented correctly. Critical? Sarcastic? Cynical? Pessimistic? Just a few words to describe you when you're at your very best...*cough* Sorry, I mean worst. Picking up the dudes or dudettes isn't something you find easy, but don't worry too much about it. You can blame it on your personality type now. On top of all this, you're shy. Nice one, wench. No wonder you're on OKCupid! Now, quickly go and delete everything about "theoretical questions" from your profile page. As long as nobody tries to start a conversation with you, just MAYBE you'll now have a chance of picking up a date. But don't get your hopes up. I am interested though. If a tree fell over in a forest, would it really make a sound? ***************** If you want to learn more about your personality type in a slightly less negative way, check out this. ***************** The other personality types are as follows...

Criminal- ISTP

Rules? Hah! Who needs rules? They merely prevent you from doing your own thing, right? Down with the MAN! Wow. I wasn't aware that you had access to OKCupid! in prison. And if you're not behind bars, all signs say you're well on your way there in the near future. You love taking risks. You love the adrenaline rush of extreme sports. You love taking action. Generally, anything that's idiotic, you're in. Wanna light yourself on fire and dive from a 500 metre high cliff into shark-infested waters? I'll write your name down. However, you do need a lot of alone time because that's when you can finally sort things out in your mind most clearly. If it wasn't for your analytical and logical skills, I'd vouch that you didn't have a brain at all. The fact that you do have a brain merely means that the likelihood of you being a criminal has just gone up. Thankfully, you're most probably a good athlete, which will help when running away from the police. If not, prison doesn't seem too far away from you at all. Just please... stay far away from me. ***************** If you want to learn more about your personality type in a slightly less negative way, check out this. ***************** The other personality types are as follows...

Myers- Briggs

I am an INTJ. I used to be a lot more touchy feely so I was an INFJ. The longer I'm in college, the more scientific I become. I think this is why I have this "Shut Your Whiney Mouth" personality trait where I can't stand to listen to someone complain for hours on end. I also have to analyze everything to death.

that shut your whiney mouth trait must get tested by classmates all the time
