8:47 pm	fucking eh! old geezer! The Everything Test There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all. Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-) Personality You are more emotional than logical, more concerned about others than concerned about self, more atheist than religious, more dependent than loner, more lazy than workaholic, more rebel than traditional, more engineering mind than artistic mind, more cynical than idealist, more leader than follower, and more extroverted than introverted. As for specific personality traits, you are outgoing (100%), musical (77%), romantic (57%), horny (56%). Stereotypes Old Geezer 100% Punk Rock 73% Geek 65%   Life Experience Sex 63% Substances 41% Travel 15% Politics Your political views would best be described as Liberal, whom you agree with around 82% of the time.   Socioeconomic Your attitude toward life best associates you with Middle Class. You make more than 40% of those who have taken this test, and 86% less than the U.S. average. If your life was a movie, it would be rated R. By the way, your hottness rank is 60%, hotter than 47% of other test takers. TAKE THE TEST brought to you by thatsurveysite Current Mood: tired Current Music: fan whirr (3 Comments |Comment on this)

3:39 pm	climate action would be suicidal relevancy aside, something about economists just makes me want to slap them across the face. the environment precedes any fucking human construction, economics included! fuck the environment, and everything that comes after it is fucked as well. is this not obvious to everyone?

12:37 am	we play at aemils PHOTO SHOW! so everybody, you may have heard about aemils photo show at cuppa joe's (@ 4th and alma) this saturday, what you probably HAVEN'T heard is that my band the HAZARDS are performing! the band consists of cody, walker, ben and myself, some or all of whom you might know! we play cover songs sampled from the last 40/50 years of musical history or so, and i've heard we're a "fun" band. we'll be joined by my sister elise, who'll rip it (us?) up on her electric violin! so, consider yourself warned, and come on down! i think cuppa joes sells beers as well as coffe and snacks, and there's a BC liquor store located conveniently across the parking lot. i don't know what time we're playing at yet, if i remember i'll do another post when i find out. if you want more info or something, give me a call at 6oh4 29one 8958. also aemil/marilee, i think my email is being screwy, so if you've sent me something i haven't replied to, please either re-send it or call me to be sure. thanks!
