my response The Window: Your Attitude Your choice of the "stormy" window reveals a self-righteously pessimistic, potentially nihilistic personality. Okay. First of all I think that I should mention that a rainbow was one of the other options for the window and I was not about to pick that one. Secondly I have always loved to watch storms so if I was going to have a window I wanted something to be happening outside. All of that aside, I would have to say that this is fairly accurate. I can be the judge and executioner at the same time and come down very hard on people. There are times when it truly is the world according to Eric. It isn't something that I am overly proud of doing, but it does happen once in a while. Your temperament is mysterious, dark, brooding, gloomy, powerful, changeable and ominous. I imagine this explains why I took art in college. On the other hand, I don't wear black or smoke. You may exhibit anti-social behaviour such as raining on other people's parades. Yes, I can be very acidic at times, which really doesn't come through here that often. I also have problems with most traditional forms of fun. For example, I can not stand amusement parks or parades and see them as a waste of my time. This might sound odd, but it is true. You may succumb to wild, uncontrollable urges with thunderous, brute force and violent expressiveness. These moments only happen when I am provoked. As Banner was fond of saying, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry. Your electrifying nature frequently gets you into trouble. I do push the limit from time to time and have problems being just like everyone else. My last girlfriend said that I saw myself battling against the world. I, however, like to think that I have finally shaken the angry young man motif. Besides Lennon and Rollins did it much better than I ever did. You are colorful, with a love of painterly angst such as Jackson Pollock, de Kooning and Francis Bacon. Actually I would prefer Edward Hopper or John Singer Sargent. The abstract expressionists do very little for me and neither does Bacon. You listen to Lou Reed, PJ Harvey, Leonard Cohen. I could never really get into Lou, because he always seemed too arch and I couldn't relate to what he is saying with his stuff. Then there was the interview where he talked about the shock therapy he had when was younger and that explained quite a bit about his music. I do, however, think that Sweet Jane is the best song that he ever wrote. PJ Harvey is much more appealing to me with her quiet loud sound and sexual lyrics. As for Leonard Cohen, I have to profess ignorance of most of his work. What I do know of it is through covers, which probably isn't fair to him. Conversely though, as electronica Scandinavian diva Bjork says, you may just be violently happy. I like some of her stuff, but you won't find me gyrating on the dance floor. The Music: Your Lover Your love ranges from the passion of Beethoven to the intricate beauty of Mozart. Of the two composers, I am more familiar with Mozart than Beethoven. For me Beethoven conjures up images of Alex talking about his beloved Ludwig Van, which I don't do. I also don't run around wearing a codpiece and bowler hat. Mozart is more my style. I don't get into powdered wigs though. Your relationship is based on an enduring trust and classical balance that helps you both rise to the highest level of understanding. This part sounds positive enough and I'm not sure what else to add to it. The Pictures: Your Relationships Revealing an adventurous, possibly madcap person who scavenges friends and relations from the scrap-metal heap of life and then through superior insight helps them to realize their fine talents so they too may soar above the clouds in riveting pirouettes of grace and death-defying stunts. None of the responses for this question seemed right to me and neither does this interpretation. The most that I can add is that I do listen to people and they have a habit of telling me things without my asking them to do so. The Garbage: Your Problems Your problems are small but they do exist. You run in fear from big problems foisting them over to your larger parent. But not all problems can be avoided and the garbage has to go somewhere. Sometimes you overflow in extreme moments with stubborn refusal to accept more problems than you can handle. Oh, I know that I have my limits and I don't like to break them. In the deepest corner of your being you believe, as do your parents, that problems should not be hidden from sight but are better handled in a transparent, translucent and open manner. Maybe this explains the online journal. The Clock: Your Future Your future is squarely that of a modern conservative, with a throwback to Roman times. I won't really dispute this statement. I know that as I get older, I view people that are younger than me as being silly. A good example would be the whole body-piercing craze. It does nothing for me and I can't quite understand the need to do it. I appreciate subtlety when it comes to forms of expression. The whole in your face approach usually makes me roll my eyes and lacks any real sense of style. I don't care if someone does it, but I don't see it as being that rebellious. Even though I rebel at times, I also have a tremendous respect for order, which is something that the Romans did very well. Now all that I have to do is learn more Latin. Your skeletal architectural gun metal honed body may cause others to see you as rigid and unbending but in your heart you remember the wild toga parties of your youth and smile. Oh, I know that most people see me as a very serious person and that is fine with me. Conversely I can and have done things in the past that probably weren't that bright. I just don't perform for everyone.
