Your Candy Heart Says "Get Real"

You're a bit of a cynic when it comes to love. You don't lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart. Your ideal Valentine's Day date: is all about the person you're seeing (with no mentions of v-day!) Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic What turns you off: romantic expectations and "greeting card" holidays Why you're hot: you don't just play hard to get - you are hard to get

You are Totally Realistic

"Romance" means you're about to roll your eyes Seriously, you can do without the sap or drama Save it for someone who has nothing really going on in their relationship For you, love is real - and easily integrated into your life You don't need candles, flowers, or chocolates to know he's the one Just some stimulating conversation... and maybe a great smile.

Your Personality is Very Rare (ENTP)

Your personality type is optimistic, curious, enthusiastic, and open. Only about 4% of all people have your personality, including 3% of all women and 5% of all men. You are Extroverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.

"Figure out who you are separate from your family and the man or woman you're in a relationship with... I think that's the most important thing in life. Find a sense of self because with that, you can do anything else."

To keep track of the places that beanshaka and I want to eat at, because our list just keeps getting longer.

You are also very grounded and practical. No one is going to sneak anything by you. People enjoy your fresh approach to life. And it's this honesty that makes you a very innovative person.

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things. Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life. You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation. You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon. Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall. You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others. At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults. Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion. A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

You don't say.

You Are Bart Simpson

Very misunderstood, most people just dismiss you as "trouble." Little do they know that you're wise and well accomplished beyond your years. You will be remembered for: starring in your own TV show and saving the town from a comet Your life philosophy: "I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I'll do it again!"

Hee.

You Are a Natural Flirt

Believe it or not, you're a really effective flirt. And you're so good, you hardly notice that you're flirting. Your attitude and confidence make you a natural flirt. And the fact that you don't know it is just that more attractive!

I feel a comment coming on from krazycows...

Your Five Variable Love Profile

Propensity for Monogamy: Your propensity for monogamy is high. You find it easy to be devoted and loyal to one person. And in return, you expect the same from who you love. Any sign of straying, and you'll end things. Experience Level: Your experience level is high. You've loved, lost, and loved again. You have had a wide range of love experiences. And when the real thing comes along, you know it! Dominance: Your dominance is medium. You tend to be the one with more power. You aren't a total control freak in relationships.. But of course you don't mind getting you way! Cynicism: Your cynicism is medium. You'd like to believe in true and everlasting love... But you've definitely been burned enough to know better. You're still an optimist, but you also are a realist. Independence: Your independence is high. You don't need to be in love, and sometimes you don't even want love. Having your own life is very important for you... Even more important than having a relationship.

Yup, definitely going to get that comment.

And long-overdue, at that. Ah well. For you, skye.

Tag 1: 5 Weird or Random Things about Myself

1. I'm a bit of an audiophile. Or, at least, have very eclectic taste in music. A glance through my playlist reveals Green Day, Jay Chou, Seal, various anime soundtracks, Melanie C, various musical theatre soundtracks, The Mars Volta, and Gackt, just to name some of the more significant artistes.

2. I own five pairs of drumsticks at this point in time, only one of which is not by Zildjian: Zildjian Jazz Nylon - Natural, Zildjian 5A Nylon Black Dip, Zildjian Horacio Hernandez Artist Series, Vic Firth American Classic Hickory 7A, and Zildjian Terri Lynn Carrington Artist Series.

3. Thanks to Michelle Goh, who first introduced me to the series way back in Sec 3, I'm an avid fan of the graphic novel series Fables, written by Bill Willingham.

4. Calbee Hot & Spicy Potato Chips, affectionately known as "pari pari", are my pet indulgence. deadinthedarc calls them an Unhealthy Obsession, but meh.

5. Everyone who knows me knows that I hate the colour pink, but not many know that my favourite colour is, in fact, silver.

Tag 2: Name 5 of Life's Simple Pleasures that You Like Most

1. Music and rhythms. Listening to or making it.

2. Buying lots of food from Newton Circus to pack back to a friend's house, so that we can enjoy the food at our own convenience and comfort, amidst mahjong, movie-watching, snuggling, and bitching. Traditionally an Acsian Theatre alumni activity.

3. Getting a phone call or a text message from the person you're missing at that very moment.

4. The sea.

5. Comfortable silences with a good friend.
