this is the easiest way I can think of for letting people know... contacting me by internet means is no longer going to be an option for a while... due to some issues where I'm living the internet access is being removed, and I have no idea how long for...
if you do need to contact me, and don't have another way to do so, i will have intermittent access to email and LJ when I am at other locations where I can use the internet... I just can't say how often that will be...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers for your family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.
AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself. |

So today we decided that America had moved further away... or at least that was the decision this morning...
We changed our minds and decided that the way to America has to be at least via Mars...
Now we are thinking that both are probably true... |

Your past life diagnosis:
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.
You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Portugal around the year 700.
Your profession was that of a monk (nun), bee-keeper or lone gunman.
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Inquisitive,
inventive, you liked to get to the very bottom of things and to rummage
in books. Talent for drama, natural born actor.
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
The world is full of ill and lonely people. You should help those, who are less fortunate than you are.
Do you remember now?

 Dear Santa...
Dear Santa,
This year I've been busy!
Last week I ruled Canada as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). In November I punched ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) da_staplerthief in the arm (-10 points). In May I gave zig_zag123 a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points). Last Friday I turned mrabyssal in for spitting (3 points). In October I gave starfirephoenix a Dutch Oven (-10 points).
Overall, I've been nice (678 points). For Christmas I deserve a pony!
Sincerely,
webfoot |

5. On a New Zealand insect spray - THIS PRODUCT NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS.

7. On a Japanese product used to relieve painful hemorrhoids - LIE DOWN ON BED AND INSERT POSCOOL SLOWLY UP TO THE PROJECTED PORTION LIKE A SWORD-GUARD INTO ANAL DUCT. WHILE INSERTING POSCOOL FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES, KEEP QUIET.

19. On an American Airlines packet of nuts INSTRUCTIONS - OPEN PACKET, EAT NUTS. (I'm glad they cleared that up.)
20. On a Swedish chainsaw - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP CHAIN WITH YOUR HANDS OR GENITALS. (What kind of consumer phone-call led to this warning?)

 Oh Great Cthulhu!I have been an extremely assiduous devotee this year. In January, I stopped ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) mfu from defiling Lovecraft's grave (-20 points). In April, I prepared an ocean voyage to R'lyeh (200 points). In March, I sacrificed unmercifulelf to Cthulhu (500 points). In May, I fed whiteadelphi to a Shoggoth (250 points). In June, I called down the wrath of Yog-Sothoth upon vasillis_childe (65 points). Last week, I rammed a ship into you (sorry Cthulhu!) (-1000 points). In short, I have been very bad (-5 points) and deserve to be fed to the ghouls. Your humble and obedient servant, Webfoot

You are Bahamut!
You scored 11 good or evil, 9 spirituality, 3 power, and 22 intelligence! |
| Do you hear that? Something on the horizon stirs a cyclone from thin air, clouds boil and darken, the air grows chill as an unmistakeable sound pierces the air. The clouds part and a stream of pure white light streaks the sky, obliterating anything it touches, sparking countless explosions and drawing both gasps of terror and screams of agony in chorus. Granted, Bahamut has been known to play both sides, but he's usually on the side of good. He's extremely old, very wise, and lacking none of the power he wielded long ago. Basically he's a demi-god, but for our purposes he's the embodiment of all the best traits - intelligence, spirit, strength and good. Appearing in practically every single Final Fantasy in some form or other, Bahamut is synonymous with not only power, but strength of will, wisdom and strength of character. I must applaud you, test taker, for you are in a class all your own. If you really measure up to Bahamut's impressive list of attributes, you're alright in my book. Your polar opposite is the Goblin. You're likely to get along with anyone aligned with Good. |
 |
This test tracked 4 variables. How the score compared to the other people's:
|
Higher than 54% on purity |
|
Higher than 45% on faith |
|
Higher than 35% on strength |
|
Higher than 81% on intelligence | | |
