the most importantest poll is the universe (and other bits)

[Poll #1142777] Why is it important? Because it will entertain me.

ALSO!

Has anyone read/heard about Whitechapel Gods by S.M. Peters? I only had time to briefly skim the blurb at the bookstore and it sounds rather like cyber-punk noir in the Victorian era, but I admit that it was the supremely awesome cover that caught my attention:



Do not judge. Cover ogling led to my reading E.E. Knight and Rob Thurman, both AMAZINGLY GOOD moves.

I also saw a shounen manga called Pretty Face(actually, I saw it a while back but forgot the title) about a boy whose face is damaged in an accident, and a mad scientist did the reconstructive surgery, using the face of his crush as a guide, so now he looks exactly like his crush, and her family thinks he's her long lost twin sister, and he moves in with them.

I have no words.

(Is there a name for this subgenre?)

Your Score: Pure Nerd

91 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 43% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.

Congratulations!


Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in any of the following:

Dear Boys...

Megan is rather fond of you, in her way.

Megan does not object when you randomly ask her to spell words, give definitions, help compose sentences for or proof read papers, etc.

Megan does not even object when you blatantly do this purely to see if she won't know, or will answer incorrectly.

Megan does, however, object to urgent cries of "Megan! Megan!" from 40 feet away that come with the expectation of Megan dropping what she is doing to go see what you need, only to learn you only simply want to know how to spell "Britain" for your Gameboy game.

Neither Megan nor Gyosei approve of such actions.

Next time, please walk over to Megan to ask.

Or risk being growled at.

Or hit by a book.

Togari Vol 4

meganbmoore has a confession to make. meganbmooreis HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE to scenes where a Damsel in Distress shouts a hero's name, and Subject of Scream magically appears to save the DiD with his sword (or weapon/power-of-choice...but it's usually a sword...)  meganbmooredoes not require that she ship the SoS and DiD on such occasions, whether because she dislikes the pairing, or because they don't seem to have that kind of relationship.  In fact, she has been known to squee when such scenes occur and she is opposed to the pairing. It is A Weakness.

That said: meganbmoorehad to repress a squee in the first chapter of the volume, as she was at work.

( the rest, it is just as comprehensible )

Here, let us do a bit of "WTF?" type linkblogging...

First up:  WTF?  HELLO!  EIGHT YEAR OLDS WITH LEGOS! NOT A NATIONAL CRISIS!  

Next:  China decides to essentially ban all U.S. children's entertainment except for Harry Potter.  Because HP is special.  At least we know there's more "WTF?" going on than Edison Chen...

Last: dangermousiediscovers a Vampire Knight spoiler that essentially negates the chances of my trying it again.  Because the character wasn't setting off my "EW! SQUICK! PEDOPHILE ALERT! PEDOPHILE ALERT! alarm enough as it was.
