yellow dawn

the colors at sunset and sunrise have been startling and super-saturated– last night it was golden-orange against the building opposite for a good while, instensifying bit by bit into darkness– this morning I awoke from busy dreams desperate to pee, and when I returned to bed, the color of framed window light arrested me– a deep butter yellow, and all the branches and leaves still, as if in attendance on something holy. I lay there watching the color shift to a lighter, greyish early morning cast, and the trees began to sway and shiver with moving air, a breeze that smelled of autumn and moist growing things– and then I had to sneeze and go blow my nose.

well, duh

I’m sure this one will come as a real shocker…

(thanks to rogue for this amusing waste of time)

Your result for The Personality Defect Test…

Emo Kid

You are the Emo Kid, best described as a quiet pussy!  You tend to be an intuitive rather than a logical thinker, meaning you rely more on your feelings than your thoughts.  Not only that, but you are introverted, gentle, and rather humble.  You embody all the traits of the perfect emo kid.  You are a push-over, an emotional thinker, gentle to the extent of absurdity, and so humble that it even makes Jesus puke.  (And Jesus almost never pukes, being immortal and not requiring an act of puke to dispell toxins from his corporeal manifestation.)  If you write poetry, you no doubt write angsty, syrupy lines about depression, sadness, and other such redundant states of emo-being that go something like this:life is a spike / upon which i have impaled mysefl / fuck you dad

So, your personality is defective because you are too gentle, rather underconfident in yourself, decidely lacking in any rational thought, and also a bit too inhibited.  Plus, your poetry really upsets your father.

I probably made you cry, didn’t I?  Fucking Emo Kid.

To put it less negatively:

1.  You are more INTUITIVE than rational.

2.  You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.

3.  You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4.  You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Smartass.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Televangelist, and the Starving Artist.
