Irgendwie stimmt die Beschreibung nicht mit meinen Antworten überein, aber mein Freund ist ein Feuerzeichen, also passt es ja alles.

Starbucks Blogthing Quiz

You Are an Iced Gingerbread Latte

You enjoy a nice chill during the holidays. Unlike most people, you aren't in the position of needing to warm up. You prefer to spend your holiday in the sun, but you still want to be reminded of classic holiday flavors. You are energetic and constantly on the go. You can't slow down for a warm drink. You like a bit of punch and snap to your drink. You want something that will give you a little spring in your step!

I have to add that I once had an iced latte and it was awful because without sugar. And the description of me above doesn't fit at all. Hm. Strange.

You Are Animal

A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts. You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary. But you sure can beat a good drum. "Kill! Kill!"

Uh, well, um, how did that happen? Hehe.

And another one ...

You Are Tea

You are mellow and reflective. You don't allow yourself to feel in a rush and frenzied. You're likely to appreciated the ideas or connections that come up over a warm cup of tea. While you do enjoy the energy of a caffeine boost, you love that it allows you to take a break. You're not in a rush to do anything. You're content with your life, and in no rush to change it.

Your Happy Word is "Delight"

You are happy because you are engaged in and curious about the world. The smallest things life your spirits. You love that life is full of surprises. You can always see what's extraordinary in an ordinary day. You are whimsical and unpredictable. You like to shake things up a lot and have fun every day. Your friends can always count on you to make them smile. You are a delight yourself.

Stupidest Blogthing ever - and so not true

Your Cupcake Says You Are Your Own Biggest Fan

At parties, you tend to be hyper and a bit out of control. It's hard for you to temper your enthusiasm! You have lots of restraint in your life. You never are victim to your desires. The most important thing in your life is fun. You are dominant, vain, and a bit of a show off. To know you is to worship you.

How's" Your Taste in Music?

How disappointing

You Scored 50% Correct

You are a solid child of the 80s You'd never confuse Tiffany from Debbie And while you may not know Prince's first #1 hit You know every word to Little Red Corvette

How Much Do You Know About 80s Music?

This can't be true. I grew up with 80s music and work in a company that has to do with music. Damn. I wish these tests would tell you the correct answers after you've completed them.

Just to post something at all ...

Your Inner Pop Princess Is Kelly Clarkson

"Grew up in a small town And when the rain would fall down I'd just stare out my window Dreaming of what could be" No doubt about it, you have star quality. Might just take a while to get there.

Who's Your Inner Pop Princess?

Ha, I like the result! I was afraid I'd turn out to be Britney!

Your Love Song Is

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing by Jack Johnson "Maybe you've been through this before But it's my first time so please ignore The next few lines cause they're directed at you I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool" You've been waiting for love, and you're not going to wait any longer!

What Love Song Are You?

I like that result cos Jack Johnson is cool and I've got his album. His music does tend to make me feel sleepy, I must admit. Same with Norah Jones.

You Are Winter!

Intelligent Serious Cozy Calm Shy

What Season Are You?

Your Element is Earth

Your power color: yellow Your energy: balancing Your season: changing of seasons Dedicated and responsible, you are a rock to your friends. You are skilled at working out even the most difficult problems. Low key and calm, you are happiest when you are around loved ones. Ambitious and goal oriented, you have long term plans to be successful.

What Element Are You?

No surprise there. My zodiac sign Capricorn is an earth sign.

Your Perfume is Glow

Fresh, sexy, and clean. You're real, intimate, and exciting. Your lush sensuality appeals to men... And you're as sexy as Jennifer Lopez. Power scents: Orange flower, grapefruit, and citrus.

What Perfume Are You?

Wow, that's a surprise. The things stated above don't apply to me, but I do have this perfume. I didn't buy it for myself, though, it was a gift. I don't like J.Lo except in some of her earlier films, but I must admit Glow smells good. It's not my favourite perfume, however. I prefer the one by Cindy Crawford.

You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Shy

When a guy gets to know you, he finds a great catch Problem is... you're too shy for most guys to get to know. From meeting someone to dating, you usually have your guard up. And while you're just holding back, it makes you seem like you've got something to hide.

Why Don't You Have a Boyfriend?

Pff, could have told you so before.

Let's move on to a non-girly blogthing:

Well, You Know What a Blog Is...

You got 4/8 correct! But, truthfully, most blogs probably bore you.

How Much Do You Know About Blogging?

This surprised me, I must admit. I hate that they don't tell you the correct answers in these kind of quizzes after you've completed them.

more blogthings

I'm obviously addicted to blogthings. Especially the name generators. Or maybe I simply didn't have the time to think up a "real" post cos my computer crashed twice yesterday and I was mad about that. I can't even remember what I wanted to post about now. I'm so forgetful. Oh wait, I wanted to say that I put down 2 movie posters I'd had on my bedroom walls for ages and put up others. The ones I took down were The Truman Show and The Wonderboys. I still think The Truman Show is a great film, but I put up The Talented Mr. Ripley instead for a change. As to The Wonderboys, good film, too, but I just couldn't stand seeing Katie Holmes anymore. I really liked her as Joey Potter in Dawson's Creek, but the thing with Tom Cruise just put me completely off her. So I put the Down With Love poster up instead. Ewan McGregor is great and the film is fun.

Okay, so now let's see my different names:

Your Hawaiian Name is:

Ululani Peni

What's your Hawaiian Name?

Your Irish Name Is...

Jade Ryan

What's your Irish Name?

I think that sounds like a character in a tv series. Could be the child of Tess Silverman McLeod and Nick Ryan in the great Australian drama series McLeod's Daughters, hehe. (The show just started here a couple of weeks ago, but it's been running for years in Oz so I know that Tess will end up with Nick.)

Your Elf Name Is...

I don't like Mondays

... zumindest nicht, wenn ich im Büro mal wieder alles vermassele. War heut wieder so ein Tag. Sehr frustrierend. Hab de facto die Arbeit der kompletten Abteilung (okay, wir sind nur 5, wenn's hochkommt) blockiert. Und außer "es tut mir leid" ist mir auch nicht viel eingefallen. Ich hasse sowas. Hoffentlich kann das Problem morgen behoben werden ... Zu allem Überfluss ist auch noch 'ne wichtige Woche mit Terminen, zu denen bestimmte Sachen einfach fertig sein müssen, was durch mich gefährdet ist ... Hilfe!

In English: I screwed up at work again. Due to my stupidity, the whole department (okay, only 5 people when everybody's there) was unable to do their work. Argh. I hope we can fix the problem tomorrow.

P.S. I do like the song after which I named this entry. One of the best 80's songs. Great piano.

Zur Abwechslung noch was Amüsanteres, aus dem ich allerdings nicht so ganz schlau werde:

English: one more blogthing. Was that the questionaire with all the animal answers?? I'm not so sure the statements are true for me.

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

You Are Curling

What you lack in athleticism, you make up for in concentration. And while curling isn't much more of a sport than bowling, you *can* win a gold medal for it!

What Winter Sport Are You?

Ha, this one was sooo clear!! I knew the result before I completed this. Heh.

As you probably know, the Winter Olympics in Turin (German name) or Torino (Italian name) just started. My Dad watches sports on TV all the time. I'm looking forward to watch a bit of the ice-skating ... no, wait, it's called figure skating ... competitions. Germany already won 2 gold medals yesterday. One was in biathlon (cross-country skiing and shooting).

Speaking of sports, Germany played against France in the first round of the tennis Davis Cup this weekend. We lost 3-0. I like Tommy Haas, one of our players. He used to have long hair worn in a ponytail, but now he's got it cut and I don't know what to think of that. Makes him look younger, somehow. I couldn't find any good pics where you can see his hair before and after so I can't show you what I'm talking about unfortunately.

Something entirely different I wanted to say: I'm so addicted to downloading stuff! Yesterday I downloaded several new skins for my Opera browser, today it's themes for Thunderbird Mail. And I've discovered this new open source media player Songbird. I'll have to stop myself from downloading that. I can't listen to music on my computer very well anyway cos one of the audio codecs is broken somehow and I don't know how to fix it.

Blah. Enough rambling for this weekend!

You Are 70% "Average American"

You are average because you don't think people should be jailed for using marijuana. You are not average since you live more than three miles away from McDonalds.

How "Average American" Are You?

Ha! Blogthings is lying cos of course I'm not American at all. But I guess this shows that the Western world in general is very Americanized (if that's a word).

Your 1920's Name is:

Mercedes Margarette

What's Your 1920's Name?

Cool. Good name.

Who Should Paint You: Andy Warhol

You've got an interested edge that would be reflected in any portrait You don't need any fancy paint techniques to stand out from the crowd!

What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait?

Hm, Warhol is okay with me, but I'm surprised by this result. I said I wanted to be painted in light colours by sunrise so I expected to get Monet. Strange.

Another quiz (this is fun!)

Your Birthdate: December 31

You're a pretty traditional person. If it's lasted, it's probably good. You seek stability - both in your career and your romantic relationship. In return, you're very loyal and predictable. Which is usually a good thing. Without a partner, you feel lost. Being with someone is very important to you. Your strength: Your dependability Your weakness: You hate being alone Your power color: Midnight blue Your power symbol: Shell Your power month: April

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Okay ... I hate being alone and without a partner I feel lost?? You gotta be kidding me. If that was true, I probably would have killed myself a long time ago.

I'm dependable, well, I'd say that's true. Predictable sounds boring, though. Hm.

Midnight blue as a color is okay.

Power Month April?? My current job ends in March, so I don't think that'll become true.

The World's Shortest Personality Test

This is so not me at the moment, or at least the first sentence certainly isnt't true. I just wanted to try out including this blogthings thing in a post. And it seems to work. Still have to figure out how to post pics cos I made a couple of South Park versions of me (with this South Park Studio linked in the sidebar) and I'd like to post them. I think I need a software called Hello. Hm. As if I didn't have enough things to do for the weekend ... I really need to write a list .... Argh!
