ONE WEEK TILL I HAVE THUD! IN MY GRUBBY LITTLE HANDS!!

I shall buy it at lunch and set it in reigning glory over my desk until I get off work.



You can stop smirking now, unfairly-advantaged Americans.


The Colour Quiz, courtesy of buttfacemakani:

Your Existing Situation
Sensitive and understanding but under some strain; needs to unwind in the company of someone close to him.

Your Stress Sources
Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. Feels that she has a right to anything she might hope for, and becomes helpless and distressed when circumstances go against her. Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. Sees herself as a 'victim' who has been misled and abused, mistakes this dramatization for reality and tries to convince herself that her failure to achieve standing and recognition is the fault of others.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Very exacting in the standards she applies to her choice of a partner and seeking a rather unrealistic perfection in her sex life.
Conditions are such that she will not let herself become intimately involved without making mental reservations.

Your Desired Objective
Seeks the determination and elasticity of will necessary to establish herself and to make herself independent despite the difficulties of her situation. Wants to overcome opposition and achieve recognition.

Your Actual Problem
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on her resources. This sense of powerlessness, combined with frustration that she cannot control events, subjects her to agitation, irritation, and acute distress. She tries to escape these by stubborn insistence on her own point of view, but the general condition of helplessness renders this often unsuccessful. Is therefore very sensitive to criticism and quick to take offense.

Your Actual Problem #2
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety. Desires recognition and position, but is worried about her prospects. Reacts to this by protecting at any criticism and resisting any attempt to influence her. Tries to assert herself by meticulous control of detail in an effort to strengthen her position.

Wow ... how very off.
I took this test in animation school as well, and it was even more off – claiming I was on the brink of 'imploding' – and this one's a leetle more accurate, but I'd hardly say I feel helpless and distressed. I just like cool, dark colours. Sheesh. I like minor key music too, does that make me suicidal?

Thud was great. And I think I know why they moved up the date in the US. Terry Pratchett was at the Barnes and Nobles in New York City when it came out and I got an autographed copy.
