I had to steal this link from Trevor's page. A time traveller playing the stock market. So clever. I believe him. I really do.

-- Personality Disorder Test - Take It! --


Histrionic: People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. They also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.
Antisocial: A common misconception is that antisocial personality disorder refers to people who have poor social skills. The opposite is often the case. Instead, antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a lack of conscience. People with this disorder are prone to criminal behavior, believing that their victims are weak and deserving of being taken advantage of. They tend to lie and steal. Often, they are careless with money and take action without thinking about consequences. They are often agressive and are much more concerned with their own needs than the needs of others.
Narcissistic: Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by self-centeredness. Like histrionic disorder, people with this disorder seek attention and praise. They exaggerate their achievements, expecting others to recongize them as being superior. They tend to be choosy about picking friends, since they believe that not just anyone is worthy of being their friend. They tend to make good first impressions, yet have difficulty maintaining long-lasting relationships. They are generally uninterested in the feelings of others and may take advantage of them.

I've often been told that I have champagne taste on a beer budget. Some NY girls have found themselves in the same position - their solution? well, read about it here. But I think that I'll pass... Thanks for the suggestion though, Trevor.

SARS is making instant pariahs of anyone even remotely in contact with the disease, as one Globe and Mail reporter found out.

do you think that you have a personality disorder? or many personality disorders? take this test to find out what you can blame your problems on.

Bored? Check out this site for odd facts and stories. I especially like the one about the Iraqi navy ships stuck in Italy since the gulf war. The ships can't go anywhere, so Iraqi sailors sip coffee and stroll the harbour front. Must be nice.

When I finish paying off my ps2, I'm going to have to get a digital camera. cause I want to be able to take pictures like this (Just not of New York, obviously).

A blogger's eyeview of the attack on Baghdad. Very interesting stuff.

No more b-52 videos on MTV. In light of recent world events, the music station has decided to not air certain videos that may be offensive. I strongly doubt that anyone would complain about Love Shack, but then, what do I know...

Want to know how many civilians are killed by the US war machine? The Iraq Body Count is a project to establish an independent and comprehensive public database of civilian deaths in Iraq resulting directly from military actions by the USA and its allies in 2003. Casualty figures are derived from a comprehensive survey of online media reports. Where these sources report differing figures, the range (a minimum and a maximum) are given. Right now, the number is standing at 16.

Forget that whole Weight Watcher's Winning Points program. This one, circa 1974 is far superior.
Mmmm.... Fluffy Mackerel Pudding and Inspiration Soup.
Thanks to Stephanie for the link. I guess we'll have to have a dinner party now. But only if there are ceramic animals to go with it.

Other Axis of Evil Wannabes
by John Cleese

Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the Axis of Evil, Libya, China, and Syria today announced they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil," which they said would be more evil than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address. Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are Just as Evil... in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best evils... best at being evil...we're the best."

Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. "An Axis can't have more than three countries," explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So you can only have three, and a secret handshake. Ours is wicked cool."

International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered. Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what became a game of geopolitical chairs. Cuba, Sudan, and Serbia said they had formed the Axis of Somewhat Evil, forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the Axis of Occasionally Evil, while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the Axis of Not So Much Evil Really As Just Generally Disagreeable.

With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics; Canada, Mexico, and Australia formed the Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Some Nasty Thoughts About America, while Scotland, New Zealand and Spain established the Axis of Countries That Be Allowed to Ask Sheep to Wear Lipstick.

"That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do," said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack McConnell. While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay," accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.

Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately, world leaders said that's only because no one asked them.

Blogger is giving me a headache. It won't let me publish to another blog I'm creating. Arghhh. Oh well...
If you are like me (and have a rediculous obsession with Survivor Amazon), visit the gay survivor journal for commentary based solely on appearance.
and if you want to know who is voted out before the show is aired, visit acme brain trust.
I know, I'm a geek.

Do you follow these rules? It is the definitive guide for becoming a player. I think the scary part is that it isn't a joke... these men take their advice very seriously. heehee.
