I take issue with question 3, because it doesn't take into account Jody's criminal inclinations ... she might still go to jail for something else, even if she doesn't pay her ticket. I mean, if she sent off the cheque and then proceeded to murder her boyfriend, she'd still go to jail, yes? Are we just to assume that Jody is a model citizen who just happened to park in the wrong spot one day? If so, they should put it in the question! Sheesh.

And because this is entirely out of character and therefore quite amusing:

Your Personality Profile

You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant. Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle. You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs. For you, comfort and calm are very important. You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection. You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong.

That's just freaky.

Your Brain's Pattern

Your brain is always looking for the connections in life. You always amaze your friends by figuring out things first. You're also good at connecting people - and often play match maker. You see the world in fluid, flexible terms. Nothing is black or white.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

Haha! Matchmaker! Yeeeeeaaah. And I am so quick on the uptake.

I grabbed this from buttfacemakani and it's so addictive I did it twice with different criteria. The first result is with all the MP3s I have at home, which is not many*, and the second is with the ones I have at work, which is even fewer, and mostly Les Mis.

Listening to NPR makes one liberal? huh.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

According to some authorities, NPR is 'liberal brainwashing.' It does slant left, I admit, but it also encourages independent analysis, so I don't see how it's brainwashing.

Firebomb?

[(Anonymous)]

Please! I don't want anyone to firebomb NPR. Nobody does long-form radio better than NPR. However, who is NPRs audience? Typically, well-off people. Why should the average taxpayer help support NPR so it can answer the "needs" of well-off listeners? NPR should remain on the air if it can support itself, from direct fund raising or corporate sponsorships. Same thing for PBS. In the age when 2/3 of the poor of America have cable TV, taxpayer-supported TV is unnecessary and wasteful. After all, do we have taxpayer-supported newspapers? BTW, NPR does not "slant" left, it leans heavily left.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

NPR's audience, I'd suggest, is educated people. Generally people with a better education are better-off, but there is nothing that prevents a street sweeper from listening to NPR. What prevents people from listening to NPR is, rather, the attitude of 'I don't wanna listen to no pansy-ass college boy talk for fifteen minutes about women's rights in Freakistan – what's up with Aruba Girl?'

Perhaps in a political sense...but I'm rather conservative and I love NPR.

I would . . . but

[(Anonymous)]

Lots of what NPR does is tremendous. But I'd like some balance. . . evenhandedness. Where are the "other side" contributions to counteract Terry Gross, Dianne Rehm, and "This American Life" to name just a few? Wait Wait is good, Car Talk is awesome, but why does the taxpayer have to help support them?

If NPR accepts taxpayer funding they should reflect the people who help pay the bills. That requires balance. If they want to operate as an independent operation, they can run any programming they choose. At least Air America is operating without taxpayer funding. Should we ask less of NPR?

wow that's a lot of information! ^^;

i took the dating profile...apparently i need someone who's funny, romantic, and a conservative.

huh...

oh, and glad the wedding was so nice :)

HAHAHA THAT LYRIC THING IS THE BEST.

Incidentally, what version of the Les Mis soundtrack do you have?

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

The big long Symphonic recording, original London cast. It so rocks. OK, the Fantine in the other one is a bit better, technically, but ... I have totally converted to London Cast loving. Ten years of Broadway Cast and I turn my back so easily...

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

I have the super-long symphonic recording and the Broadway, I think . . . oh, how I long to get my hands on the London! It looks pretty good, from what amazon.com says. xD

Goodness, my sweet, I apologize. I didn't mean to take up so much space on your journal! I shall not do it again.
