Wackiness: 60/100
Rationality: 72/100
Constructiveness: 66/100
Leadership: 64/100

You are a WRCL--Wacky Rational Constructive Leader. This makes you a Golden God.

You think fast and have a smart mouth, and you are a hoot to your friends and razorwire to your enemies. You hold a grudge like a brass ring. You crackle.

Although you have a leader's personality, you often choose not to lead, as leaders stray too far from their audience. You probably weren't very popular in high school--the joke's on them!

You may be a rock star.

Suzanne Vega - The Queen and the Soldier

The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"
And the queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside.

He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Only first I am asking you why."

Down the long narrow hall he was led
Into her rooms with her tapestries red
And she never once took the crown from her head
She asked him there to sit down.

He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young
But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun
And now will you tell me why?"

Well the young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"
But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
But she closed herself up like a fan.

And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"
He laid his hand then on top of her head
And he bowed her down to the ground.

"Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel
As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed
But I won't march again on your battlefield"
And he took her to the window to see.

And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray
And she wanted more than she ever could say
But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away
And would not look at his face again.

And he said, "I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don't understand
Your highness, your ways are very strange."

But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached
And she took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside.

Out in the distance her order was heard
And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
And while the queen went on strangling in the solitude she preferred
The battle continued on

Uh-oh, more ladder theory inspired talk

Dave (18:17:56): I try to explain this to female friends of mine, but I usually get in trouble
Disjoint Set (18:18:00): There have been times in my life when I would've stopped liking girls for a bit if I could've, but attraction is not a choice
Dave (18:18:09): tell me about it
Disjoint Set (18:18:48): Yea, if you perused my journal you saw the latest post with allusions to ladder theory, I caught some guff supporting the underlying sentiments of that
Dave (18:18:56): yeah, I saw some of that
Dave (18:19:15): took it with a grain of salt, but the fundamentals are spot-on
Dave (18:19:47): but it's hard to explain, "it's nothing personal, I just find you attractive"
Dave (18:20:34): all male-female interaction is sexual in nature, that's just the long and short of it
Disjoint Set (18:20:41): Yea, years ago when I was a lot bitterer and first read ladder theory, I was all about it
Dave (18:20:55): we may not act on it, as we're hardly wild animals, but that's the truth
Disjoint Set (18:22:01): My problem is I still do try to act on it I guess
Dave (18:22:11): that's not a problem, I don't think
Disjoint Set (18:22:14): I feel like I owe it to myself to try at least once to make out with all my female friends
Dave (18:22:28): well, if they have no problem with it....
Disjoint Set (18:22:52): Because girls I can be in a good relationship with is going to be a subset of girls I can be friends with, not a disjoint set
Dave (18:23:02): of course
Dave (18:23:16): that goes without saying
Disjoint Set (18:23:28): With girls it seems the converse is true
Dave (18:23:45): now that you mention it, you got a point there
Disjoint Set (18:23:46): Their male friends are the ones they could never date

I was in a conversation about ladder theory with a girl (...with a girl about ladder theory? In any case, you can read said theory at the url that r the subject), when I somehow managed to truthfully explain myself without seeming the asshole.

Disjoint Set (17:12:22): I've always felt it was insincere to keep a girl around as a "friend" when the reason we got to know each other is I was after something physical
Lillie (17:13:11): but don't you ever think that the girl is cool, so you want to be friends?
Disjoint Set (17:13:18): Which isn't to say that I'm sex-crazed, but for most stages of my life, my male friends were already fufilling all my platonic needs
Lillie (17:13:24): you still think that's being incincere?
Lillie (17:13:35): interesting.
Lillie (17:13:55): but i've always felt like i want both guy and girl friends, because there's a good balance of hormonal shifts!
Disjoint Set (17:13:57): No, if the girl is cool I think we should date, to be just friends is a waste of a cool girl...they're much too rare to keep it platonic
Lillie (17:14:32)</span>: omg. that was very well said.

note: Lillie's screenname was replaced with her name...if you haven't already figured that out. Mine really is Disjoint Set though.

73.I first realized the world was a bad place when I learned is school that one should yell "fire" when in trouble, because no one will come if you yell "help"

74.The reason "fire" is more effective because if there's a fire, the person hearing you might be in danger too

75.I'm going to stop now.

Maudlin reveries

I wish there was a girl I could call, right now...and even if she was sleeping she'd be happy to hear from me, and I'd be happy to talk to her, and we'd stay on the phone for as long as I wanted. Then the next day, nothing would be weird, everything would be even better.

To fall in love with life again...
