I kind of want to message and get to know my enemies...

I mean I get pissed off by both extremes... I don't like the lovey, dippy, hardcore drug using hippies, but then I also don't like the ultra-religious, anti-choice, homophobic assholes either.  People with my highest enemy percents would have to have traits from both of those groups and I'm kind of curious what kind of fucked-up chimera that would be.

I get a lot of high ones, too. But I'm only 65% with my husband.

No wonder I hate him so much. Wink

Ok, finally got the profile hacked out so here it is:

http://www.okcupid.com/profile/ElectricMarble

My best match there is a 91% but she isn't single.  Same with both the 90%s.  Wait, I know that woman at 89%!  Huh, I'd considered asking her out.  And her, I'd never've expected she'd be at such a high percentage.  And there's the woman in whose lap I had my head for part of the party this weekend at 86%.  And right after her also at 86% Hi Z!

I probably want to get a better picture taken some time.

If only we could find a way to combine our searches.... sexily!

Seriously, though. It's starting to be beaten into my skull that Okcupid isn't the place to just randomly talk to people, but this is the best site I've seen in a while that gets the whole rundown thing correctly. I'm torn and confused. I don't want hook ups, I want friendly conversation as working at home doesn't allow to make that many new connections.

I get 77% Match (62% Friend, 8% Enemy) with Pixie, but Im oddly more matched to Sinic; 79% Match (79% Friend, 0% Enemy). I assume because we're both equally judgemental and cynical and therefore answer questions the same.

I AM surprised that you two get such a low match with each other. I mean, I can see you disagreeing on everything under the sun, to be sure, but there's always an option to put the other partners answers as irrelevent, which I do a lot. I mean, it's not like I don't CARE about a girls opinion on... gun control, or whatever, it's just Im sure there's got to be some possible permutation of any extreme view that won't piss me off, so Im generally hesitant to shitcan anyone purely for disagreeing with me.

The exception to that is homosexuality and gay marriage, and whatnot, cause I figure I might as well filter out the homophobic bitches right away, but mainly I click "irrelevent" as Im always sure that there's got to be SOME way you could argue your point without me dismissing you as a retard for thinking it.

Anyway, you guys should do a WTF report with each other or something.

83% Match (65% Friend, 4% Enemy) with Zahnnie, which clearly means we should make out, 76% Match (46% Friend, 10% Enemy) with Rev, and he's the first person on there Ive seen who actually got the More Athletic award, and a freaking 90% Match with Symmetry, which... came out of nowhere. I guess we have many of the same interests, and the same general temperament? Im normally pretty calm and laid back most of the time...

BY FAR MY FAVORITE TEST YET::

Your result for Which Changeling Are You?... Ogres"You blame blood or gold. We blame only ourselves."Which Changeling Are You? at HelloQuizzy

Poor Top-Off my best friend,

I knew ye well till I had a bite.

My favorite dish named; Half-Done,

A relished friend named; All-Gone.


 

The tale goes that there was once a troll, a beast who dined on human flesh and carved knife-handles out of their bones. Business was good and the troll decided that he needed assistance in his workshop.

 

One night he stole into a village and took away three sons of a shoemaker. He worked the three in his workshop on drill and lathe and chisel and awl for long hours.

 

Everyday at dawn he beat them and fed them on scraps of raw flesh. One night, the eldest took one of the knives he had made for the troll and crept in upon him while he slept. But the knife shrieked out loud and would not kill the troll, and the troll awoke and cooked the boy in a pie and forced each of his brothers to eat a slice before he beat them so hard that they were all purple and aubergine.

 

The second son made a pick so that he could open the lock on the door of the troll’s workshop, and at night he crept to the door and picked the lock. But the troll was waiting behind the door and so he chopped him up and cooked him in a stew which he fed to the youngest son, before beating him so hard that his teeth lay on the floor and his mouth was caked in blood.

 

The youngest boy worked so hard and so well in the workshop that the monster could find fewer and fewer reasons to beat him, and the knives the boy made were beautifully carved and the troll found that he could sell them for more gold than he ever had before.

 

One day, the troll came into the workshop and he leaned over the boy’s shoulder as the boy carved the knife handle, and the boy pointed out a detail of the carving. The troll craned closer to look and quick as lightning the boy turned his hand and stabbed the troll in the eye. That was the end of the troll.

 

The boy wanted to run away, but he turned back and saw that the workshop was now empty. So, he didn’t leave. He ate the troll’s food and slept in the troll’s bed. And now he dines on human flesh, and carves knife handles from the bones.

 

Business is good. One day soon, he will need assistance.

 

Changelings who identify as Ogres understand this story. It informs them of who they are. They know that abuse creates abusers, that the victims of brutality can sometimes become brutal themselves. By definition, the Ogres are those changelings who have been shaped by unthinking violence and brutishness defines them.

 

This is not to say Ogres can’t be gentle, honorable or possessed of restraint. It’s harder for them, but they have a lot of practice.

 

Ogres found it difficult to leave the hedge because they had to escape vicious captors, through locked basements, chains and manacles, regular beatings and a healthy fear of those beatings. They inevitably had to become as hard as their fae monsters in order to fight their way away from it all.

 

Ogres must be exceptional to have come so far from something so low. Theirs is a lesson in Wrath and Avarice.
