A blast from the past:
Many of you haven't taken my What Is Your Science Fiction Superpower? quiz yet. Here are some results for

teunc and other LJ friends. If you take it, could you please post the result in your LJ?

From

shmeepster:
NOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!

You are Gollum's teddy bear. He likes to cuddle
you and pet you and put bows on your ears and
call you "precious." You don't
understand why Sam tried to throw you into the
Dead Marshes.

Which completely non-existant Lord of the Rings object are you?

Aye yam scawed!

Like

deire, from whom I got this quiz, I got 2 Sams and 1 Jack:

You're a reasonable fighter, you listen to the other but will push your point if you believe you're right, in the end you do what you have to do.

You're a reasonable fighter, you listen to the other but will push your point if you believe you're right, in the end you do what you have to do.

You're Sam! You're a reasonable fighter. You listen
to the other side and weigh the information
fairly. You tend to be a mediator in a fight
rather than an actual participant. However, you
will push your point if you believe you're
right.

What is your SG-1 fighting style?
brought to you by Quizilla

You're Jack! You're the protective fighter. You do
what you have to do in order to keep everything
and everyone you care about safe. You hate not
being in control, and some people accuse you of
having a quick temper. But in the end, you're
not fighting because you think you're right,
but because it's the right thing to do.

The soul mate (בָּאשׁﬠרט) controversy continues to make waves in the LJs of:

yahvah: link - it must be gratifying to get all those votes of confidence

barahirion: link - turns out he was being ironic (no, rilly!)

banazir: link - so far, hfx_ben and gondhir have commented, but neither directly on the subject of בָּאשׁﬠרט.

There's your problem

I believe this has to do with complete lack of sex in the issue so far. Try spicing things up a bit with some love. And then maybe even some group love. Usually works like a charm.

I believe this has to do with a confusion of love and sex, mais, that's a whole other manifesto, my friend.

Usually works like a charm.
I'd have to take your word for it, but perhaps this time I won't take it under advizzlement.

Quizzes were one of the reasons I made several of my IRL friends into not-friends: they wouldn't stop posting them. Apparently, unfriending someone on LJ is grounds for the disruption of an IRL friendship. Who knew?

Anyway, I call it the content-to-noise ratio, where content is defined as stuff I enjoy reading, and noise is, well, quizzes, memes, whining, and so forth. So long as that ratio remains high enough, life is good. Just don't ask me to take any quizzes; you might not like the results (I tend to goof around with the ones I take).... ;-)

Well, I for one will probably never unfriend anyone in LJ for posting too many quizzes, but YMMV. I do hope that you all use lj-cut to hide the long memes and graphics-heavy quizzes, and I will do the same.

I tend to post quizzes occasionally, but it's gotten rarer and more aggregated.

As for unfriending, my policy is much like this one written by

erebrandir. It isn't a big deal IRL, but I do prefer that those I have added as LJ friends both add me back and keep me on their lists.

Deal - I would claim that my ratio (silly as I get sometimes) is reasonable, particularly for an informal venue such as LiveJournal.

Eh, wot's rong with taht?

Re: Ha!

*noise: I have to agree with hfx_ben; I'll do a meme if it's cute and cut-hide it, but when I created one of these, I swore I'll never post a quiz result.
Fair enough -

f00dave seems to have a similar policy.
Just do me a favor and let me know if the bandwidth gluttony and/or fluff-to-content ratio get too high for you.

I'd like some advance warning if you're going to unfriend me or come hunting for me with a large trout or sumfink. :-) Seriously, perhaps we can work something out. I like to strike a balance among my friends' tastes (including my own!). Besides which, there's lawaz lj-cut.

*soulmates: Oh, just do it like I do and stick with book characters!
Bha, toast me.
My list would be reduced to Aenea, Dorothea MacDonald, Menolly, Luthien Tinuviel, Rose Cotton, and maaaaaaybe Eowyn, so struff that in yer stern loonk joints and smork it.

Personally, I'm not offended or annoyed by quizzes in the least bit. I don't take them often because I just don't do it. Plus I wrote in my LJ that I wouldn't put them in my LJ - mostly because at the time I looked at them more like horoscopes. I realize that they're not exactly like horoscopes, but I tend to view them as being not completely indicative of who I am as a person. And when they tend to get too positive, I am always reminded of my downfalls and failures. I beat myself up way too much. ;-) And if they're negative, well, who likes to talk about the negative parts of their personality?

Oh, certainly not. And certainly I take 90% of quizzes for entertainment value, not "psychoanalysis" and certainly not "augury". :-P

You do! Rilly! :o)

You are Galadriel's Mirrorball. A gift to her from
Sauron in the days when he masked his evil, you
wreak havoc among the weak-minded. The elven
queen herself has been seen sneaking away to
her secret glade to dance the night away to
wicked music. You may be the downfall of
Middle-Earth.
