I Am A: True Neutral Human Wizard (6th Level)I'm super-glad not to be evil. Generally this makes me happy, to be honest.
Ability Scores:
Strength- 9
Dexterity- 10
Constitution- 10
Intelligence- 16
Wisdom- 12
Charisma- 13
Alignment:
True Neutral A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Class:
Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard's strength is her spells, everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar- a small, magical, animal companion that serves her. With a high Intelligence, wizards are capable of casting very high levels of spells.

Shout Out The Answer Meme
Do you shout out the answers at the TV while watching quiz shows?
Only if I'm alone. I've discovered how annoying it is when someone does that while you're trying to watch (and figure out the answers).Do you get over-involved with TV or movie plots at times?
Define "over-involved." lolWhat's the highest hill or mountain you've ever climbed?
I've dreamed about TV shows. And yes, I do find myself pondering the show--or rather the characters--at odd times at work or while doing chores.
I grew up in the mountains of Colorado. While I never "climbed a mountain" in the sense of people doing Everest, I've been up my share of 12,000-foot+ high peaks. And rooted around the sides of several of those for fun too. From bottom to top in one go, that would be Big Squaw Mountain with my mother-in-law, Beast, and his brother in about 1988.Do you have a piggy bank?
I do. One of these days I'll take a picture of it so I can post it. I love that bank!What's the fastest you've ever traveled in a car?
TOO fast. I was in a car going close to 100 mph in traffic probably 20 years ago. It was exhilarating and stupid as hell.Could you ever hand milk a cow?
Probably not. I suspect whichever cow got stuck with me would be pretty irritated pretty quickly, and I'd probably get smacked with a hoof or two. Also, I don't think my hands would hold up long enough. Yay, RSI.Which was your favorite science? Biology, Physics or Chemistry?
Bio, once we got past cells. I hated the always-too-lengthy focus on cells, but systems, oh yeah! Loved muscles, skeletons, even nerves and digestive systems! OK, not a fan of all the stomach enzymes, but otherwise......SO COOL!Have you ever had a surprise party? (that was an actual surprise)
I had two surprise baby showers before Sparky was born! Clearly, my brain wasn't working very well that both times I was 100% clueless. I threw a surprise graduation party for Beast when he got his MBA--at our house! He had no idea.Have you ever warn clothing with the labels/tags still attached?
Nowadays, with the printed-on tags, I do it all the time. :-) And yes. Not too long ago, someone had to peel something off the back of my leg off of pants I was wearing for the first time. That was a little embarrassing.Have you ever slipped on a banana skin?
Nope. I wonder where that comes from? Did people used to do that? Or was that a stand-in for all the piles of manure that used to litter streets prior to cars?Are you scared of the dark?
Nope. I actually love darkness. I fully respect the power of darkness to mess with our senses, though. Ever been underground in a cave with no flashlight? Yeah. Awesome-scary.Do you have a lawyer?
Hmmm. I know a fair number of attorneys, but I haven't paid any of them recently. We really need to go get our wills updated, though. Soon.If you had a paid year off, what would you want to do?
Travel! I would love to do a world cruise.How long did you[r] last phone call last?
...I can't even remember the last time I used a phone outside of work calls. My last work call, yesterday, was probably only a minute of actual phone time, with a period on hold in the middle. Personal call.....jeez, I think it's been over a week, when I call someone in Al-Anon about missing a meeting where I had meant to drop off boxes.Have you ever helped someone across the road?
Yup. Everyone in my family is older than me, and many of them are or have been frail.Have you ever been wolf whistled in public?
Ugh, thank God I'm old now!! I was first wolf-whistled while sitting on my front lawn when I was about 11. Who the FUCK does that?

90, part three
61. Do you like current pop stars?
I find myself intrigued by some, and unclear why most others are popular. Miley Cyrus belongs in the former group, Justin Bieber in the latter. I get that he's cute, but I can't get past feeling sorry for him.62. What is your least favorite chore?
I hate doing anything with floors: mopping, vacuuming, sweeping. Guess what my household chore growing up was? Vacuuming the stairs. Yuck.63. Last place you drove your car?
I came home from work last night. Probably should have gone grocery shopping later, but I did not.64. Ever been out of the country?
Yes. Several times, to several places.65. Where were you the last time you used a public bathroom?
I am in a public building for about 9 hours every workday, and drink about a quart of liquid in that time. You figure it out. ;-)66. Could you handle being in the military?
Nope. Not that they'd have me now anyway, but I don't like being ordered around.67. What is your average cell phone bill?
I have no clue. A lot would be my guess.68. Who or what are you thinking about right now?
1. Should I wake Beast up? He slept in the recliner in the living room after overdoing a maintenance/repair project yesterday.69. When was the last time you laughed REALLY hard?
2. I need to go sort laundry and get a load started.
3. Alternatively, I could go shower and put on day-clothes (I'm in my jammies).
Probably the last time I watched Whose Line Is It? Sparky set it up to DVR over a year ago, but Beast and I watch them since he's hardly ever here anymore.70. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Less than Imelda Marcos. Barely. OK, probably about 30. Maybe 40? Whatever--not enough!71. Are your toes always painted?
I don't paint my toes, but in the summer I try to keep my toenails painted and pedi'd.72. How many piercings do you have?
One in each earlobe. Call me a traditionalist.73. What are you doing today?
See #68. Also, cleaning the guinea pig cage and maybe running to the store for food.74. Have you ever been gambling?
"Been gambling" is a weird way to phrase it for me, but yes I have gamed in Vegas. Also in a couple of local casinos (which are depressing as hell) and some Indian reservations. But I don't make it a priority--going to Vegas is more for the sheer Weird Factor.75. When is the last time you updated your blog?
...right now? This morning? My book blog, earlier this week, though I have another book I need to add. My regular, non-meme blog has been dormant for awhile, like over a month. There's just a lot of stuff going on that I don't want to post publicly there. Life has not been exactly wonderful this year, though there've been some ok bits. I do occasionally shoot something over to Oh Life when things get completely crazy.76. Do you like roller coasters?
I do as long as they don't spin or go upside down.77. Have you ever been to Disneyland or [-W]orld?
Yes. Both. I think that means I'm done, right? I wouldn't mind going back to Epcot and Animal Kingdom, but otherwise...meh.78. Do you have a favorite cartoon character?
Mighty Mouse.79. Last thing you cooked?
...hmmm, wow ... I haven't cooked all week. Cold sandwiches and take-out FTW.80. How's the weather?
Foggy and cool.81. Do you e-mail more than snail mail?
Helz to the yeah!82. What's the funniest picture you ever took with your cell phone?
I suppose I should go look, but I've taken a lot of "injury photos" over the years, of myself and of Beast/Sparky. One of my favorite particularly weird non-injury ones is of three people sitting on my couch each 'wearing' a blanket over their heads. They are all adults.83. Last time you were sick?
Define "sick." I haven't had anything specific for awhile, but this week has been fraught with carpal tunnel and other joint-related pain. Even my injured-in-March tailbone has kicked up the pain again. Of course, allergy season has gotten into full-swing now too.84. What states have you lived in?
In no particular order: The Centennial State, The Prairie State, and The Badger State. I spent a lot of my childhood in The Equality State took. Unfortunately.85. Do you wish you could move?
Yes. Well, I can move mySELF, but I'd like to move HOUSE to somewhere not humid, and with less corn pollen.86. Do you take a lot of quizzes?
Yes, she says shamefacedly.87. What is your dream car?
Chocolate brown mid-80s Jeep Cherokee or Wrangler soft-top with a manual tranny.88. Have you ever wanted someone you can't have?
This condition is also known as "Adulthood."89. If you could be anywhere right now where would it be?
In the Rockies or in the Maine woods, sucking in lungfuls of pine scent on the porch of a cabin with a view while listening to the birds and other wildlife (sans mosquitoes) getting on with their lives.90. Are you happy with your life?
Generally, yes. It's mostly on the upswing. I think. Maybe.

1. Q is for QUACK: What’s the worst medical advice you ever received?
The doctor my family went to when I was young was pretty awful. When I went for my first full Big Girl exam, for instance, which of course included a breast exam, he informed me in the middle of that that once I got married my husband could do that for me. I was 18ish and shy and alone in the room with him; if a doctor said anything like that to me now, my next call would be to the state licensing board...if the nurse that is now required to be in the room didn't slap him upside the head first.2. Q is for QUEEN: What do you think you’d most enjoy about living the life of royalty?
Not having to shop for clothes or food.3. Q is for QUICK: What household chores are you lease [sic] likely to procrastinate about doing?
Uhmmmmm...I guess dishes. But I procrastinate on those too. In fact there are some hand-wash items that have been sitting all week....4. Q is for QUIET: Where do you go when you feel like you need quiet time alone with no distractions?
If I'm home alone, I'll just turn off the computer and TV and read here on the couch. Otherwise, I'll head up to my room, or go for a drive.5. Q is for QUIT: What would you most like to quit doing in 2013?
Eating everything that doesn't move!6. Q is for QUIZ: What subject in school did you most dread a pop quiz in?
I never minded pop quizzes, ever. But I suppose science and/or math would have been most problematic.

Someone's presence, their actuality.4. When was the last time you tried something new?
I had a weekend of Something New. Yesterday was pretty much back to normal, though, except for this damn cold.5. What is your favorite and least favorite book genre?
I love mysteries, even (some of) the cheesy ones. I'm NOT a fan of straight-up romances or what usually ends up on the bestseller lists.6. Silver or Gold?
Silver.7. What makes you sigh?
EVERYdamnthing.8. If you didn't know how old you are, how old would you claim you are?

Yes. I would break most laws to do either.10. If you had to teach something, what would it be?
Reading. Or, I suppose, English. Or Sunday School stuff, since that's what I've had the most experience actually doing.11. You're having lunch with 3 people whom you respect and admire. They begin to criticize a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. What do you do?
Tell them that s/he's a friend, and reconsider my friendships with those three. I've done this, by the way.12. Which of the 5 Love Languages is your prominent means of experiencing love?
Mine is a three-way tie of "Quality time"/"Acts of service"/"Physical touch" with "Receiving gifts" being the big loser. I never can seem to make up my mind, even in quizzes!

TOTALLY agree--I've done this, and would do it again, and I know I'd enjoy it.Your result for The Where Should YOU Travel Test...
Train through Europe
You scored 74% culture, 42% social, 32% activity, and 39% adventure!
A train trip through Europe is a fantastic way to enrich yourself with many different cultures within a relatively short distance. The train service in Europe is out of this world and almost always on time. It doesn't lump you together with a group since you prefer to be independent, yet it takes the scariness out of navigating around a new country in a rental car, trying to make sense of the map. The train system brings you from downtown to downtown and there are often hotels within a short walk of the station. You could decide which countries interest you the most and if you are eligible, buy a rail pass in advance to save a bundle of money. Arriving at a European train station is an architectureally beautiul way to introduce yourself to a new city and it sets the perfect scene for your new experience.

Ass-trology
Let the Stars Reveal Your Mr. Right
You scored 50% AirI italicized the parts that I agree with, so it looks like this thing turned out pretty close to accurate. Weird.
In romance, you're drawn to the qualities of an Air Sign. You're turned on by a man's intellect and sense of humor more than his net worth or fine physique. You desire a mate who will match you wit for wit and keep you up all night talking. Air Signs prefer to keep things light and even, so if you want love that's playful, you might be most turned on by a Gemini, a Libra or an Aquarius mate. Read more about these Sun Signs to discover more about their motivations and desires.
You scored 40% Water
In romance, you lean toward qualities exhibited by Water Signs. You seek a mate who is kind and compassionate, not afraid to feel, someone to whom you can really bare your soul. You appreciate romance and sentiment, and though the man you long for may be a bit shy or innocent, he is very, very generous and open-minded. You'd probably love to be with a Cancer, a Scorpio or a Pisces lover. Read more about these Sun Signs to discover more about their motivations and desires.
You scored 10% Fire
In romance, you're drawn to the qualities of a Fire Sign mate, someone ambitious, ardent and active. You don't like hesitant men -- you like a guy who'll take a chance and make the first move. Impatiently passionate, you need someone who will show you a good time -- and the world. You have a good chance of finding happiness with an Aries, a Leo or a Sagittarius man. Read more about these Sun Signs to discover more about their motivations and desires.
You scored 0% Earth
In romance, you lean toward qualities exhibited by Earth Signs. You're turned on by affluence and opulence. While you crave status and security, you also want a man with a sensual streak as strong as his stock portfolio. You like to take things slowly and make informed decisions, so you may find a Taurus, a Virgo or a Capricorn lover to be the sexiest match for you. Read more about these Sun Signs to discover more about their motivations and desires.

Culturality
OK, first of all, question #41 made me guffaw.Your result for The Cultural Identity Test...
The Kaffeeklatsch Savant
58% Traditionalism, 75% Knowledge, 71% Diversity, 40% Contemporary and 43% Untraditionalism!
You Scored 40% Kaffeeklatsch Savant, Congratulations!
Hey there, Modern Thinker! At the forefront of your generation, you possess the uncanny ability to ride the waves of untraditionalism that course through our fickle society and remain at the crest! Ever aware of the changing tides of politics and philosophy, you have your own niche and you stick to it. With a healthy disdain for hypocrisy and pretense, you have the temerity to say so, and are well aware of the unpleasant facts that your contemporaries try to brush under the rug. Perhaps you're even something of a cynic!
Not into the latest headlines or 'ground breaking' news? Don't really care about that archaeological discovery in Tibet that suggests Cro-Magnon man had twenty five teeth instead of twenty seven? You find other cultures interesting, but you most likely won't go out of your way to do anything about it. You know where you stand, and that's the bottom line. Well, you aren't alone, and you're actually in some pretty good company. Oscar Wilde, John Simon, Dorothy Parker and George Bernard Shaw were some of the great modern thinkers of their time, and they maintained their positions by steadfastly refusing to succumb to either the preposterous notions of the past or the rambling obsequiousness of trendy and idealistic fads of the day.
Less of an idealist and not so devoted to traditions, there's a good chance your idea of the world is your own and you don't necessarily care about what others think you should be thinking. The past? The future? This is the present, and no amount of planning for the future or lamenting the past will change that. So, you probably have a good idea of where you stand and what makes sense. And then again if nothing makes sense, it's ok, because it probably isn't that important anyways. Apathy towards current affairs can be a good thing often times. After all, are those vicissitudinous ideas the politicians spout all the time really that meaningful? They really just want your vote, and you aren't fooled by all the clever talk.
You were scored as a Modern Thinker because you most consistently chose answers relating to contemporary ideas. Concepts like race, tradition, history, and your heritage don't appear to have all that great an attraction for you, which is just fine, because most of those things don't seem to affect your day to day life. If you can get along without worrying about the traditional mating headgear of the Papu Papu tribe of Eastern Samoa, then that's just one less thing to worry about. And if you do care about such things, then you've managed to find the perfect blend between contemporary ideas and the enriching intellectualism that is so readily available to questing minds.
Secondly, could the author be more pontifical in his descriptions?
Thirdly, I'm still laughing.
Fourthly, this is a good quiz, and I did actually have to think. Much more difficult than the usual OkC stuff!
