Philosophy

Lord of the stellar rings
Random note: This marks the three year anniversary of entries in this particular blog. ATTS has been around for three years, but about two months of the original entries were 'closed' in Greymatter, my previous blogging software, and as such, they didn't get transferred. So instead you get some holy shit. I love my little 'on this day' module on the sidebar.

Punzie mentioned on her LJ how she had lots of questions, and to sum it up, she used this:
loveandthequestionsofsexandfutureand
universityandcareerandfamilyandchildrenonedayandwheredoifitin
Basically, questions that any teenager on the cusp of starting out on their own would be asking. Unfortunately even if you answer your 19-year-old self's questions, there will always be the 20 y/o's questions to answer, and the 21 y/o's (though those might be slightly easier due to the possibly inebriated state they are asked in) and the 22 y/o's...I'm asking questions, what do I want to do with my life, am I really right in thinking of med school, would I really be able to make a living as a writer, am I even capable of finishing a story, since I've been working on bloody Moonstone for a decade. I suppose som questions you can never really answer, or the answer keeps changing. There are definitely times when I wish I knew what was going to happen in my life, and if I could get some certainty that yes, you will finish the novel or yes, you will be a good doctor or no, med school is the wrong choice. Que sera, sera, je suppose. As much as I think fortunetelling is a bit of a quack, I wish someone could give me a glimmer.


Lots of superfluous quizzes, if you read on.

Your Virgo Drinking Style
Hey brainiac, you are compelled to impose order onto your bender. Your famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure... But it could also lead to drinking booze neatly (like sucking down organic wine or having extreme brand loyalty). You rarely get fully shellacked -- but, oh, when you do!

Virgo's controlled by the intellect, but there's an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare, "I'm going to drink myself into a low level of intelligence tonight." A toast to the subgenius IQ!

Your Signature Cocktails
Many Virgos prefer clear, simple, untreacly drinks like vodka tonic or a real margarita, though you can be found drinking anything from unflinchingly downing Cuervo straight to smirkingly ordering a dirty virgin. You also tend to like bitter, low-alk guzzles like Campari and soda. However, you rarely change your signature drink once you've found it.
Your Celebrity Drinking Buddies
Cameron Diaz, Hugh Grant, Keanu Reeves, Nicole Richie, Bill Murray, Jada Pinkett Smith, Adam Sandler, and Ricki Lake.

You are dependable, popular, and observant. Deep and thoughtful, you are prone to moodiness. In fact, your emotions tend to influence everything you do.

You are unique, creative, and expressive.
You don't mind waving your freak flag every once and a while.
And lucky for you, most people find your weird ways charming!

Jen! I would love some certainty too. I try to summon it up and pretend I have it, but I don't and it's scary. I guess we just have to have faith in ourselves that we'll be able to work things out reasonably well. :)

Heh, my name is Jennifer too and I am those things it listed ('cept for rich of course lol)
