swoo

I would totally be a brain. The heart is automatic man, but the brain is doing all kinds of weird shit. And sometimes it doesn't work at all.

A broken heart beats a thousand times faster trying to catch up and be normal again. I know, I've studied a few.

The heart really does all the work anyways. Don't listen to them uppity scientists... the brain is just a slave.

Swoo, young man, I hadn't forgotten! Here is your sun/moon profile:
You have your sun in Leo and moon in Sagittarius... There's a lot of FIRE in that there sign, young man!
I guess I can hardly say I know you well, but this sounds fairly accurate to me - we are, after all, bound by Sagittarius...

'Hero-worship; honourable; adventurous; passionate; outspoken; intuitive; independent; loyal; proud; generous; warm sincerity; romantic visionary; restless; sociable; imperious; impractical; impatient...
You are a combination of fixed, self-centred creativity and the restless striving for novelty and knowledge. You may be the kingly nomadic, the travelling entertainer, the daredevil extrovert, the lucky artist, the regal philosopher, the captain of the team... self-assured, proud and resilient...
A nobility of spirit coupled with the savvy of a gambling gypsy... a creative adventurer... Essentially a restless explorer, either geographically or in the mental realms, you react rebelliously against being trapped in any one place, job, philosophy or relationship...
autocratic in style but egalitarian in spirit... full of innovative ideas and original ways of viewing things...
Because you are intensely honourable, you can seem somewhat high-minded at times, even though you are one of the most kind-hearted souls in the zodiac... instability... You may have enormous financial swings, as well as a lot of domestic disarray...
Integrity is your middle name; you detest human hypocrisy and will feel personally called upon to expose it where you find it... you can be very contemptuous of those whose moral standards fall too low to qualify, in your view, as human...
Naturally generous with your affections as well as with any material goods you have, you may need more than one person on whom you can bestow your fun-loving beneficence...
Restless, passionate and somewhat nervous... You need intellectual rapport with your partner, and to share your romantic vision of life...
A kind of manic 'upness' and constant pursuit of excitement may mask a hidden fear of being ordinary and bound by mortal limits, and you may be prone to unexplainable bouts of depression...
Strengths: High personal standards; broad and far-ranging intuitive mind; enthusiasm for learning and for personal development; and your open, resilient and positive friendliness towards others.
Weaknesses: Restlessness and inability to tie yourself down for long to relationships or projects; tendency to jump before thinking things through; and to dismiss ideas or others arrogantly with brusque, sarcastic pronouncements that wound far more than you intend.
Famous personalities: Ray Bradbury, Lisa Kudrow, Lawrence of Arabia, Herman Melville...

And now for your questions:
1. Denver Broncos. I liked the blue and orange colours as a kid, and the romance of the Mile High Stadium - not that I've ever been there, hell I was watching from another continent. (What's your team?)

2. This one, university lecturer. Or actually, interpreter for healthcare. I had to interpet for somalian and Romanian refugees who spoke broken French. It was interesting seeing hospitals from the other side of the power divide... My role was essentially pastoral... I always felt more on the side of the patients, the underdogs...

3. I was born in Scotland. It means 'dark water', which I find pretty appropriate.

4. Sonic Youth and Yo La Tengo, for showing me the beauty in noise. Blakes Babies and the Field Mice for their sensitivity in helping me through a troubled adolescence. American Music Club for showing me that you could also do philosophy in music (and hence,
anywhere) (on this last point, Bob Dylan, Leonard cohen and tom Waits, too, but Mark Eitzel did it first for me...)

5. LA, for the romance of the boulevards.

6. That question is all wrong. No, unless that higher being is what comes after humanity, humanity's next step. No, I believe that the process in which we're all caught up is beyond our understanding, to the extent that we can only catch glimpses of it and obliquely refer to it, but I'm not convinced there's any design to it, au contraire...

7. 'Echo Beach'.
'From 9 to 5 I have to spend my time at work
My job is very boring I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
Is knowing i'll be back on Echo Beach some day...'

8. (I like your answer to this, by the way, and actually all your answers )
Only in my mind. Although, actually, the fact that I spend no time at home and haven't returned home before 11pm for the past 6 months is pretty fucking 'alternative'... People think I'm straight, I look straight, but when the sun goes down and people go home to their families, I'm left wandering the streets...

9. 730_trixel_fem! Writing materials, music (this is cheating, I know, you'd need several items for this) and, I guess, a knife - the tool of civilisation!

10. Fellowship, for all the politics.

Thanks, I enjoyed writing this.

He's a good roommate. But I may have one in the future who likes the FP nakedness.

schizotypal moderate. rest low. and hello. you're cute.

Hmm. I appear to be highly paranoid. I suspect the test was rigged.

Indeed, Angus needs a dvd release. That and Noises Off are high on the list.

Sadly, no pithy drool saying can compete with that. You've humbled me. Bastard.

Is it Swoo or is it Jambat? Don't f*ckin' confuse me like that!!

There's something funny going on around here.

i must be the bruce willis to your samual jackson, cuz it's been so long since i've been stricken ill it's dumdfounding, i ow it all to eating my boggers

wooo, dude, what's going on with your journal?! how did you lose two years?!

oh well, good to have you back anyway!

ouch not a good sign you shouldnt be starting to feel old for at least another six years. I suggest hanging out with and becoming friends with younger women. At first it will make you feel old but eventually you just start to feel like a young guy with more life experiences... Of course i was 30 when i first had this experience and she was 19, you are either gonna have to wait awhile or the girl is gonna have to be like, lemme see ohhhh nevermind

Is this Swoo?

oh yeah you i forget so easly...ok I know that's not spelled right but I don't want to think of the proper spelling so grrrrrrrrrrrr
