More Online Quizzes This one is frighteningly close. Thanks to Sarah for sharing the link. Star Trek Personality Test -- Results Myers-Briggs would say that you are an INTJ (Introvert, Intuitive, Thinker, Judger). In Star Trek language, you share a basic personality configuration with Jean-Luc Picard and Seven of Nine. People like you are generally autonomous, aloof, and intellectual. You sometimes give the impression you have no need of others, but you're intensely curious and driven to learn. You're cautious with others socially and respond best to people who don't push you to be friendly or affectionate. You appreciate when others follow your lead and accept your criticism in the helpful spirit in which it is intended. You're calm by nature and feel off-balance when confronted by highly emotional people. You're highly organized and expect the same of others. You analyze automatically and enjoy seeing patterns and trends. When your mind is made up, that's it, which means that while you're definitive and strong, you can be stubborn and arrogant. You respond best to other people's needs when they tell you about them clearly. You value honesty greatly. You prize people who listen to you and respect your ideals. You are somewhat contemptuous of those who don't pay attention to what you say. You're a conservative dresser, but you have a unique and personal style. Your primary goal in life is achieving independence and being able to live according to your own standards. Your reward is continual expansion of your competence and knowledge. Good careers for your type include being a starship captain, intellectual property attorney, news analyst, design engineer, software developer, inventor, Webmaster, architect, and ex-Borg. Snicker, Snicker..... Ya Right! Gotta love these tests..... at least the colour matches my blog design.... lol
What Type of Seducer are You? created by  polite_society Sunday, March 02, 2003
Rocker Tam I have use of a digi cam for a day or two while working on the Chamber Of Commerce site. Spurred on by a weight loss and a major haircut (Which I just got tonight), I thought I'd try some new photos. Man, it's hard to take pictures while holding the camera........ I thought I'd share some. I just about laughed myself to death when I looked at the pics of me with my cool necklace. (Thanks Sarah!!!) I look like I should be "slammin' on my guitar". Well.... I do have one. Of course it is a Jazz acoustic and I can only play 4 chords. So I give you "Rocker Tam" (Complete with vacuous look for that authentic feel ) 
Writer Tam I know, I haven't updated for...... a while. My life has been a little bit busy of late. I'm doing all sorts of work for the Chamber of Commerce's first Gala Ball. See the website I'm working on.... :) Whee!!!!!! The guys and I are trying to learn as much movie music as we can for the gala. It's a Hollywood/Movies theme so we have to add some new content. We've even written some new songs. I've also started "writing" again. I'm putting in about 15 or so pages a night plus notes on average. I have a most of the story mapped out and it's pretty cool. I haven't put pen to paper in about 10 months or so, not due to writers block so much as lack of desire and fear. What's so scary about words on a page you may ask? I don't really know. Rejection I suppose. (Although you'd think that wouldn't bother me considering I am in the entertainment industry.) I also have a terrible habit of comparing my style and content to others and often feel like I come up short. I was looking at my report cards from public and highschool last week and I was shocked. Every year, there was at least one comment about me becoming a writer. In "OAC" English (grade 13) my teacher wrote a huge paragraph about how she just knew that one day she would be seeing one of my books on the bestsellers list. That's all I really wanted to be. Sure, music was a huge passion and I spent a lot of time performing and recording but more than anything else I wanted to write. I've been trying to trace back and find out where that changed. I don't think it ever really did as I have an entire filing cabinet filled with short stories, poetry, 2/3rds of 4 separate novels, 3 murder mystery dinner theatre's...... to prove it but my attitude changed. I guess I became jaded. I see the talent out there and I wonder "why bother". I have a real problem sharing my writing with anyone (Yes, I know Nick, I don't shut up about it with you. :) ) and so I have no real feedback. I've considered joining a writers group but I'm not sure that a "Cyber Group" is for me. I belonged to one in town for years and I love it. We had writing assignments every week, sharing sessions, went to conferences and the whole thing was run by two published authors. Then I got the opportunity to sing at a bar every week and it fell on the same night as the meeting. Ah well..... For now, I'm happy that I'm feeling so very creative. I've also started to turn the movie script I've written into a novel. I'm putting back in all the stuff that I liked (Yup, the gun's back Jenny! Yea!!!!!) but got rid of when a producer was interested in it and I'm also removing all of the dialog that wasn't mine. All in all, life is ok. (Now if I could just get a handle, on, my, over, use, of comma's and that damn 2nd person rule..... NICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) |
