Newcastle

Hi,
and apologies to Norway and Iraq: I no longer have internet at home so I can't blog properly.
I WILL get back to blogging asap.
I now live and work in Newcastle in northern England (Renny, apparently there are ferries from Oslo and Bergen to N and I bump into Norwegian tourists in Newcastle all the time. From afar I recognise them from their woollen jumpers, even in the summer:)). The last few weeks have been hectic to the maxx: I took a leap of faith and moved to Newcastle and only then started looking for work. After a week of searching, my potentially stupid move paid off. I'll be starting my new job as a Finnish Linguist at a media company (Xtreme Information) in a weeks' time.

Check me out!

I would've been a Nazi Swine
Achtung! You are 38% brainwashworthy, 50% antitolerant, and 19% blindly patriotic

Sie sind ein Schwein! You would've lived a quiet and consenting civilian life in Germany, while the Nazis stomped all over people you didn't quite care about.

You would never have directly joined the Nazis, basically because (1) you're not so nationalistic, (2) you're not that susceptible to crazy propaganda, and (3) you probably don't have the bloodlust. But you would've appreciated the Party, because you liked how they cleaned out the [insert race you dislike here].

The fact is, you demonstrate too much attachment to and pride of your own kind, be they white & male & straight or whatever. You absolutely would not have stood up to the Germans.

Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would NOT have STOOD UP to the Nazis. Sorry

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 44% on brainwashworthy

You scored higher than 91% on antitolerant

You scored higher than 22% on patriotic

The Wild Rose
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLD)

shmolorful, but unpicked. You are The Wild Rose.

Prone to bouts of cynicism, sarcasm, and thorns, you excite a certain kind of man. Hoping to gather you up, he flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing his love. Then you make him bleed. Why? Because you're the rare, independent, self-sufficient kind of woman who does want love, but not from a weakling.

You don't seem to take yourself too seriously, and that's refreshing. You aren't uptight; you don't over-plan. Romance-wise, sex isn't a top priority--a true relationship would be preferable. For your age, you haven't had a lot of bonafide love experience, though, and this kind of gets to core of the issue. You're very selective.

Your exact female opposite:
The Dirty Little Secret

Deliberate Gentle Sex Master

The problem is them, not you, right? You have lofty standards that few measure up to. You're out there all right, but not to be picked up by just anyone.

"You're never truly single as long as you have yourself."

ALWAYS AVOID: The Bachelor (DGSM)

CONSIDER: The Vapor Trail (RBLM).

Vous Ãªtes un pays charitable avec un endroit doux pour mounties. Pas le projet sur envahir n'importe qui n'importe quand bientÃ´t, mais Ãªtre heureux -- vie bonne et gens apprÃ©cient partout un Etat-providence.
