Your result for The Greek Mythology Personality Test...

The Oracle

33% Extroversion, 100% Intuition, 0% Emotiveness, 71% Perceptiveness

Heuristic, detached, and analytical to a fualt, you are most like The Oracle. You are able to tackle any subject with a fine toothed comb, and you possess an ability to pinpoint nuances and shades of meaning that other people do not have and cannot understand. Accomplishment and realization of ideas are, for you, secondary to the rigorous exploration of ideas and questions -- you are, first and foremost, a theorist. You hate authority, convention, tradition, and under no circumstances do you accept a leadership role (although, you will gladly advise leadership when they're going astray, whether they want you to or not). Abstraction and generalities are your interests, details and particulars are usually inconsequential and uninteresting. You excel at language, mathematics and philosophy.




You are typically easy-going and non-confrontational until someone violates one of the very few principles that you deem sacred, at which point you can fly into a rage. Although you possess a much greater understanding of process and systems than the people around you, you are always conscious of the possibility that you've missed something or made a mistake. You don't tend to become attached to particular theories, and will immediately discard mistaken notions once they're revealed to be incorrect (but you don't tolerate iconoclasts who try to discredit validated theories through the use of fallacies and bad data). Despite being outwardly humble, you probably think of yourself as being smarter than most other people. That's because you are. In fact, in your dealings with people your understanding of their motives is so expansive that you know what they're going to say before they say it, and in world affairs, you usually know what is going to take place before it actually does. This ability would make you unbeatable in debates if only you were a little less pensive about your own conclusions, and a little more outgoing.



Famous people like you: Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, John McWhorter, Ramanujan, Marie Curie, Kurt Godel

Stay clear of: Apollo, Icarus, Hermes, Aphrodite

Seek out: Atlas, Prometheus, Daedalus

I posted the little meme that's been going around my circle of LJ friends on my real website.

Nov. 8th, 2007

(no subject)

If you were born before 1990, then this survey should be easy for you to fill out! If you weren't... don't even bother, you'll just be confused!

+ What spice girl were you when you were young?
In my group of friends, I was the one who was supposed to be Posh Spice. Yeah, we had rules for this kind of thing, and I was the only one who had a Little Black Dress.

+ Backstreet Boys or NSync?
I guess it would have to be Backstreet Boys. I actively hated both, but I was younger when the Backstreet Boys were popular, so I had friends who actually liked them.

+ Did you watch S Club 7?
No. Ugh. (Martinemonster, it was called S Club 7 in Norway too)

+ What was your favorite, Sandlot or Little Rascals?
I have no idea what you're talking about.

+ Did you ever have light up sneakers?
Yes. Although they didn't go that well with my Little Black Dress.

+ Cinderella or Snow White?
Definitely Cinderella. I don't think it's only because I saw that Disney movie at an earlier age. "The Cinderella story" is very  appealing, which is why there are so many variations on it in other stories I've liked (Ella Enchanted, Fortune's Wheel). Cinderella goes through a lot, including costume changes that made acting out the story so much better. All Snow White does is ignore "stranger danger" and get accidentally rescued by a prince who has a rather disturbing interest in her despite the fact that she's dead.

+ Did you wake up really early just to watch cartoons on Saturday morning?
Absolutely not. I've never liked cartoons, and I've never liked getting up early just to do nothing.

+ What was your favorite holiday?
Christmas. Of course. Although I also really loved Halloween.

+ Did you ever try to stay up on Christmas just so you could see Santa?
In Norway, you get to meet Santa. Although I do remember trying to look out the window as Santa was leaving, to see what mode of transportation Norwegian Santa used (I didn't believe in flying reindeer, but I didn't expect him to walk everywhere either). The adults physically stopped me from doing this (guess they didn't want me to see him go back into the house to change back into being my uncle)

+ Did you ever watch Bill Nye the Science Guy?
Yes, quite often actually.

+ What grade did you like the best?
Third grade. That's the year we had a rabbit in the classroom! We also had a chameleon, life-size papier maché whales hanging from the ceiling, tadpoles that eventually became frogs, caterpillars that eventually became butterflies, a rainforest stick which we turned over and listened to every morning, computer games in class for the first time and standardized tests (I liked them because we always got muffins when we did them, to make sure everyone had breakfast on test day). Third grade was the year we read biographies - everyone read about Martin Luther King Jr. and everyone chose one other person to read about - and give an oral report on, with costumes. I was Marie Curie, so I got to wear turn-of-the-century clothes and a French braid. Not only was this the greatest look ever in my opinion at that time, it got me out of hockey in gym class.
Fourth grade was pretty fantastic too, because that's the year I was Harriet Tubman in the school play, and started doing more serious history in class. This included making tools that stone age people would need, using only tools and materials that they would have had access to (like no scissors for example) and taking a memorable field trip to Plimouth, which is so historically accurate it can be scary.
Wow, I really miss those years.

+ Ninja Turtles or Power Rangers?
Ugh. Neither. Anyway, I wasn't allowed to watch either show.

+ What Power Ranger were you?
None...never liked them

+ Did you ever own a Chinese jump rope?
I don't think so... what was that again? (quick Wikipedia search) No.

+ What was your favorite thing to eat?
As now, grilled swordfish. And Ben&Jerry's ice cream.

+ What was your favorite color(s)?
First yellow (kindergarten), then purple (first grade), then blue (second grade and so on)

+ Barney or sesame street?
Sesame Street!

+ Did you prefer, Where in the World is Carmen San Diego or Where's Waldo?
Carmen San Diego. But I wasn't very into either one.

+ What was your first pets name?
The first one died right away. We inherited it from the people who moved out of the apartment we moved into, and it was very old. Then we got Rainbow.

+ Who were your best friends in kindergarten?
Taryn

+ Are you still friends with the person you were best friends with in the third grade?
We don't see each other often (try once every three years or so) but our families in general are in touch.

+ Where did you live when you were 9?
Arlington, Massachusetts

+ What did you want to be when you grew up?
an actress and/or an author

+ Do you know all of the words to the Fresh Prince theme song?
I think I did a few years ago...

+ What was your all time favorite movie?
Either it is my all time favorite, or it was my current favorite. Either way, I don't/didn't have one.

+ Which did you like 'Are You Afraid Of The Dark' or 'AHH! Real Monsters?
Uhh... What? Are You Afraid of the Dark is the only one I've heard of. I saw that when I was too young to see it, and again when I had grown out of it, so I was never a fan.

+ Did you watch Rocko’s Modern Life?
Nope.

+ Who was your favorite character in Doug?
I don't think I saw that.

+ Did you like War heads?
What? Guess I've missed out on a lot.

+ Did you ever want to watch slime time live?
Uh... I didn't really watch much tv, as I think is becoming obvious.

+ Have you ever wondered what the "slime" was actually made of?
Well, now I've kind of curious actually.

(no subject)

YOU:
Relationship Status – Single
Shoe size – 39
Parents still together – Yes. They have been, more or less, since they were 17. This was cute when my friends and I were 15, and it made us worry when we were 17.
Siblings – two younger sisters
Pets – I had a goldfish named Bubble (the origin of my Livejournal name). My family has a rabbit and a dog, and I think of them as my pets.

FAVORITES:
Colour – Blue is the automatic, default answer. But green is probably really my favorite, especially when it's in my living room combined with off-white and brown.
Number - 13. No one else likes it, and I think I should.
Animal - Sea otters, manatees, wheaten terriers.
Book – Oh, come on! I can't pick one.
Flower – They always die on me.

DO YOU:
Twirl your hair? – Yes,  and run my fingers through it, push it back from my face, hold it in a pony-tail just to get it off my neck, twirl the whole pony-tail into a chignon type style and then let it go - just basically a lot of fidgeting.
Have tattoos? – Absolutely not.
Cheat on tests? – Never.
Like roller coasters? – Hate them! Why wait half an hour in line for a stomach ache?

OPINIONS:
Wish you could live somewhere else? - Yes. Although I do like it here.
Write in cursive or print? – I type.
Know how to drive? – Yes.  But I'm better at walking and taking public transportation.
Own a cell phone? - Yes.  Of course. By the way, I was the last person in my class to get one. I had been telling my parents that all the other kids had cell phones, but it didn't really work until my dad did a research project on cell phones and concluded that all the kids did have cell phones.
Been in love? – Yes. But it is a rare occasion.
Current clothing – A red and white dress.
Current hair – A little long. I'm getting it cut at five today.
Current thing I ought to be doing – writing my bachelor thesis
Current CD in stereo – a playlist on my computer with lots of different stuff. The current song is Back to Black with Amy Winehouse.
Last movie you saw – a very depressing Wallander film.
Last thing you ate – Breakfast: blueberry müsli cereal and toast with cream cheese
Life on other planets? – There must be. Even my notoriously sceptical dad  believes.
Do you hate yourself? – Of course not. In fact, I like myself quite a lot.
Collect anything? – I liked Elisabeth's answer: "'Collect' has such a 90's ring to it. But yeah, things accumulate." I mainly accumulate white sweaters, books and coffee cards.

LOVE:
First crush – Hard to say. Depends on the definition of crush, but probably this guy in elementary school who's name I can't remember. It didn't last.
You believe in love at first sight? – Interest at first sight. Love at first conversation. I've been there.
You believe in "the one?" - I suppose there might be one person who is the very most perfect match for any one other person. But that isn't necessarily someone you're going to meet, and a lot of other people may be so close to perfect that you won't care. I believe there are a lot of interesting people out there and that perfection is what you make of it.
Are you a tease? – Only when I don't try.
Too shy to make the first move? – Yes. While I'm not shy about getting to know people, I'm shy about going from friends to more than that.

ARE YOU:
A Daydreamer – Yes.
Sarcastic – Yes. At least my blog is, according to a journalist I don't know who read it. He wrote that my sarcasm makes him laugh out loud. I am very happy about this, by the way.
Shy – Yes. But when I tell people I am, they say: "No, you're not."
Talkative - Depends on the topic, other person and amount of coffee.

WOULD YOU RATHER:
Get your nose or lip pierced? – Nose. I would rather draw attention to my nose (which I like) than my very small lips.

ARE YOU:
Simple or complicated? – Complicated. Very complicated. I barely understand myself.

ABOUT YOU:
What time is it – Almost lunch, and I haven't done anything today.
Name - Julie
Nickname(s) – Bulle, Umri-Amri and random endearments like Pookie, Pus, vennen, kjære etc.

WHAT DO YOU WANT:
Where do you want to live – In a city where there is good coffee, good bookstores and good friends.
How many kids do you want – Two.
What kind of job do you want – Writer. Preferably journalist for The Economist. And then write some novels maybe.
Do you want to get married – Ideally, yes, but only if the time and person are really, really right.

UNIQUE:
Nervous Habits – Nervous? Probably giggling, being very quiet, doing distracting things like this.
Are you double jointed – No. Despite all the yoga and ballet, I am naturally not flexible.
Can you roll your tongue – Yes.
Can you raise one eyebrow – No
Can you cross your eyes – Yes.
Do you make your bed daily – Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

CLOTHES, ETC:
Which shoe goes on first - The right one, now that I think of it.
Ever thrown one at someone – I must have.
How much money do you carry in your wallet – Right now, maybe 50 kr. Usually not much, just my card.

IN THE LAST MONTH HAVE YOU:
Bought something – Coffee. Much.
Gotten sick – Head aches.
Sung – No.
Felt stupid – not very
Missed someone – Not really.
Gotten your hair cut - No, but I will today!
Watched cartoons – Nope.
Lied – Probably, but not about anything important.

LAST PERSON THAT:
Slept in your bed – Me. Until this morning.
Saw you cry – Thinking back... It's been a while. Likely to have been one of my parents.
Made you cry – Again, I can't remember.
Saw a movie with you – Heidi, Per Ivar, Ingebjørg Christina, Isabell.

HAVE YOU EVER:
Been to California – Yes. Loved it.
Been to Canada – Yes. Prince Edward Island.
Wished you were the opposite sex – For a short while when I saw how quiet and orderly their part of the Zara clothing store was. Then I noticed the lack of skirts and dresses in their part of the store, and realized that if I were a guy, I would be a transvestite. Which would probably make shopping more of a hassle than it is now.

1. Hva var den første tanken som slo deg da du så deg selv i speilet i morges?
Det første jeg tenkte da jeg våknet: "Er jeg våken, eller drømte jeg den sangen jeg tror jeg nettopp hørte på radio? Nei, jeg er faktisk våken og klokken er åtte og det er lørdag og jeg har fri og nå reiser jeg meg faktisk opp også fordi jeg ikke liker sangen de spiller nå, så jeg har faktisk stått opp og det betyr at jeg er skikkelig flink." Men jeg husker ikke hva jeg tenkte da jeg så meg i speilet.

2. Når er neste gang du kommer til å ha sex?
Ja, si det.

3. Skriv et ord som rimer på FUCK?
Duck.

Ja. Men ikke i hvilken som helst.

Bianco, Ecco, Le Coq Sportif, NoaNoa, Tamaris... kommer ikke flere.

10. Hva er best – lyse eller mørke rom?
Lyse rom med mørke møbler er pent. Men best med lys.

11. Hva synes du om den personen du rappet denne meme-tingen fra?
Jeg kan bare gjenta det hun sa til meg for et par dager siden og si at jeg mener akkurat det samme om henne: “Hvorfor ble jeg ikke kjent med deg mye før?”

12. Hvis du er alene i et rom med to senger, hvilken velger du å sove i?
Det spiller virklig ingen rolle.

13. Hva gjorde du rundt midnatt i går?
La meg etter å ha lest (roman, ikke pensum), hørt på musikk og drukket grønn te i mange timer.

14. Hva står det i den siste sms-en i innboksen din?
God påske god påske :) har du hatt en bra ferie hittils?:-D stor klem fra sandefjord<3

Mange utgaver av et bilde av en kaffekopp med to fisker og et hjerte tegnet med melkeskum. Fotografert ovenfra, rød bakgrunn.

23. Hva er det siste du sa til noen i dag?
Har ikke snakket med noen i dag. Men det siste jeg sa til noen i går var vel “Ja, og jeg vil lese mer, så hadet bra.”

24. Velg mellom en million kroner og evnen til å fly …
Fly. Det kan man tjener penger på, men en million kroner kan ikke kjøpe evnen til å fly.

25. Liker du noen?
Opptil flere.

26. Siste sangen du hørte på?
“I brush my teeth. I put the cap back on. I know you hate it when I leave the light on. I pick a book up and then I pull the sheets down and then I take a deep breath, a good look around. Put on my pjs and hop into bed. I'm half alive, but I've been mostly dead. I try and tell myself it'll all be all right. I just shouldn't think anymore tonight.” Jewel: “You were meant for me”

Don't get me started.

29. Hva befinner seg nærmest din venstre fot akkurat nå?
Delt andreplass mellom stolbenet, bordbenet, ledningen til pcen og printeren. Men førsteplassen går til strømpebuksen.

Another meme

MEME TWO: Random stuff you really don’t have to know

1. Have you ever changed your clothes while in a vehicle?
Yes

2. What’s something you MUST do before you die?
Wow, um, I don't know.

3. Are you single?
Yes.

4. What’s one thing you will not eat?
Rabbit I won't eat. Licorice just tastes bad.

5. What color is your underwear?
Now? Purple.

6. When is the last time you went out of state?
Out of Norway: I went to Rome a couple of weeks ago.

7. Who was your last received call?
Kaja calling for the address of our favorite wine bar in Rome.

8. What kinds of juice are in your refrigerator?
Orange juice from Tropicana, with pulp.

10. Can you hula hoop?
Hula hoop? Not well.

11. Can you count to 10 in Spanish?
I could once, thanks to Sesame Street, but I don't remember.

12. What does your shirt say?
Shirts shouldn't say things. My dad got me an "I deserve a Mac" t-shirt though.

13. Name something that reminds you of your childhood?
cookie dough ice cream

14. Was today better than yesterday?
Not sure. I think they were about the same.

15. Is anybody getting on your nerves?
No one in particular right now. :-)

16. Do you talk to yourself?
Not out loud.

17. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?
Interesting question. If it was the right time and place. He was a bit disappointing though, but maybe we were both just tired.

19. Ever waxed your eyebrows?
Yes.

20. Earrings or necklaces?
Both. But I feel naked without earrings.

21. Are you mad at anybody?
No one in particular right now.

24. Do you use smiley faces on the computer a lot?
Not a lot.

25. What are you doing tonight?
This, and not much else. Got home late and watched Desperate Housewives.

26. What time is it?
Late. 11.50 PM.

27. Are you loud?
No. Sometimes I talk really loudly.

28. Do you judge alcoholics?
Not really. I judge other types of addicts more, because almost everyone drinks a little, so the big should I or shouldn't I start question doesn't have such an obvious answer when it comes to alcohol. And most people don't get addicted to alcohol, so it's easier to justify the alcoholic's actions as the result of a problem (s)he genuinely can't control, instead of a series of stupid decisions.

29. Do you watch Family Guy regularly?
Not regularly, but it's fun.

30. Have you ever watched a little kids show?
Yes. You mean after I stopped being a kid? Yeah, I have a much younger sister.

31. What does your last outbox text say?
"Tranøy skal snakke om tverrfaglighet og internasjonale studier. Vet ikke mer enn det, men han vet hva temaet er og at det ikke er masterdiskusjon."

33. Are you wearing socks?
