I just tried another one of those many so called 'personality tests' which seem to be all the rage bloggs these days. They are mostly just an excuse for navel gazing, but heh, we are all rather obsessed with searching for a reflection of our true identity right? I am still waiting for one that will tell me which Gone With the Wind character I am. Anyone volunteer to make a test for me? :)
While I do lots of these tests, linked off other pages, I don't think I will make it a habit to post my results here, but just this once, for those who might be curious.
Which Trainspotting Character Are You?
Take the test here.
I remember the first time I saw Trainspotting was in residence my first year of university. I was most definitely a very sheltered young person discovering formerly hidden aspects of the world as revealed by the co-inhabitants of my rez. Needless to say, I was shocked and horrified by the movie. Disturbed so much, in fact, that I had to resort to one of my favourite Linus security blanket movies to feel that everything could still be alright in the world. However, I later came to admire its challenge to middle class materialism and lethargy. My favourite quote was from inside the soundtrack cover.
My own first experience with 'drug culture' of a sort came in the summer after my first year of university. I went tree planting, up near Thunder Bay, in Nipigon and Jellico to be more specific. Needless to say, out there in the bush, far from the rule of law, most of the planters had 'fun'. I was too straight laced to try any myself of course. Can't say I was much impressed by any of it anyway, but it wasn't nearly as dramatic as on film as far as I could see. (Mostly soft suff up there anyway I am sure). I don't even drink coffee, so it is all hard stuff to me. :) The amusing part was that, being so far from town for long periods of time, cigarettes practically became money by the end of some weeks. Boy am I glad I don't have any of those kind of addictions. I have my own of course, but I'm not telling. ;)
