Something Completely Different

Thanks to Fury for tipping me off to both of these. Nothing like a couple of mindless quizzes to lighten the load.

First, I’ve been intruduced to NatureBug’s Diary, which contains the test What Looney Toon Are You? I scored a 33 – two more points and I could have been Pepe le Pew!

(27-34 points) You are Tweety

You are cute, and everyone loves you! You are a best friend that no one takes the chance of losing. You never hurt feelings and seldom ave your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You are witty and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of back stabbers, and you are worry free.

For seconds, the meaning of names is revealed in Names

Salamander

——————————————————————————–

The name of Salamander has made you rather reserved and, at times, secretive about your personal affairs. As a result, people find it difficult to understand you and you suffer through loneliness. You are interested in understanding life along scientific, religious, and philosophical lines. Also, you derive much enjoyment from reading and from being out in nature. At times, you find it easier to express your thoughts in writing, rather than verbally. You are astute regarding the value of money, have good business judgment, and can drive a hard bargain if such is required. This name has not allowed you to express fully the softer, more spontaneous qualities of your nature because of its practical business attributes. You are matter-of-fact in your attitude to things, not easily swayed by others, nor overly compassionate to the suffering of others. You are an ambitious person, have expensive tastes, appreciate quality in all things, and desire to have the best money can buy. You are inclined to judge things according to their material value. Weaknesses in the health through the use of this name could affect the heart or bronchial organs, or cause problems relative to the generative organs.

Then, of course, I had to try my real name:

**********

——————————————————————————–

The name of ********* creates a very quiet, practical nature and a clever and inventive mind. Being analytical and naturally studious, you are interested in a factual understanding of the mysteries of life. Your methodical nature requires that you like to finish what you start without interruptions and also to have everything in its place and properly organized. An ability to concentrate could take you into computer programming or accountancy or any work requiring concentration and attention to detail. You have, also, a flair for creative expression with your hands. You take life seriously and can be easily and deeply hurt and go into moods which can be quite extreme at times, causing much turmoil and unhappiness. Finding it difficult to join in conversation with those with whom you are not well-acquainted, you could feel quite alone and uncommunicative with new acquaintances or in a large crowd. As a result, you could be accused of being unfriendly. You desire so much to be understood, but your name has limited your verbal expression to such an extent that it is very difficult for you to divulge your innermost thoughts even to those closest to you. One of your greatest salvations is being out in nature, for it is there that you find the peace and serenity you so much desire. Physically you could suffer through tension in the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs, and also through intestinal problems, constipation, etc.

Hmmmmm. The description that goes with my real name is a better fit than the one that goes with Salamander. I’m a bit disappointed. I would have liked to think that, given a chance to choose my name, I’d have come up with a better fit! Ah well, it’s all just a game.
