What Superhero are you?
Found this via Baby G and Dizzle's flatmate's (so what does that make us? absolutely nothing) blog: http://www.thesuperheroquiz.com/.
My answers would be:
- Do you like to fly? 3.
I'm not really scared of it, but then again I really dislike that whole landing thing. Any minute I just know that Bernoulli's principle is going to give out and we are going to become a very aerodynamic paper weight.
- Do you like to wear a cape? 5
Come on! Capes are AWESOME. Plus, World of Warcraft has taught me that capes provide some much needed armor over the back side.
- Are you very virtuous? 3
More than some. Less than others.
- Are you a persistent do-gooder? 4
Pretty much. With a few exceptions, I'm always trying to do the right thing and not break the law.
- Are you somewhat reserved and easy going? 3
I like to think I'm pretty easy going (unless we don't have a plan. FUCK! WE NEED A PLAN!) but not reserved; Witness for example the number of women I have asked for sex favors or the number of times I posted some very personal internal thoughts on this blog..
- Are you an intelligent geek? 5
What am I if not this?
- Do you like redheads? 5
Hell ya! Also, blonds, brunettes, green, blue, purple, and any other hair color you can think of.
- Are you accident prone? 2
Not really. Witness last post about number of hospital visits.
- Are you a hopeless romantic? 2
Nope. Sorry Sue:)
- Do you have a good sense of humor? 4
I think so. BOOBIES! :)
- Do you like hi-tech gadgets? 5
That's like asking, "Does Dick Cheney have a hump?" OF COURSE!
- Did you have a bad childhood? 1
I had the single most normal, easy going childhood on earth
- Do you have a dark personality? 2
I'm cynical, but not so bad that you really notice.
- Do you wear thongs? 1
Although there is that one old pair of boxers that might as well be....
- Do you have long hair? 1
Nope.
- Are you VERY comfortable with your body? 5
I sure am. I've got a great butt:)
- Do you value independence and privacy? 4
I mean, sure. Who is going to answer no to this? On the other hand, this whole working at home has taught me that human contact has some definite pluses.
- Do you ever wear a pushup bra? 1
Sorry. What little I have of pecs is all natural.
- Are you beautiful? 3
I'm not the cutest guy at this party, but I'm not the ugliest either.
- Are you good at reading people? 1
No way. I never notice that bored look in their eyes:)
- Do you like to be in the limelight? 5
I write a blog read by 5 people just for the tiny sliver of attention it gets me. What do you think?:)
- Are you young at heart? 3
Mostly. Although I want those damn young kids to turn their music down and pull their pants up for god's sake.
- Are you good at acrobatics? 1
That would be a no. I can barely make it down my stairs without tripping and killing myself.
- Are you a little naive? 3
Sometimes.
- Are you easily angered? 2
No way. I prefer to live and let live. Or insult them back.
- Do you have hidden strength? 1
Like my pecs, what you see is what you get.
- Are you a loner? 3
More so lately thanks to the job.
- Do you often hurt people without realizing it? 1
How would I know if I don't realize it? :)
- Do you move a lot? 5
Shaky McCaffieneBounce at your service.
- Are you athletic? 3
I'm in horrible shape but I still manage to win Cavemon events, so lets call it a draw.
- Are you a fast runner? 4
I can get from point a to b faster than a lot. I'm not carrying much weight between a and b:)
SIDE NOTE: Crap this is long. Why didn't I read it all before starting!
- Are you a flirt? 5
Other than programming, its the only other thing I am really good at.
- Are you extremely talented in only one area? 4
I'd say two. One involves a skill I demonstrate in my office, and the other involves a skill I demonstrate in the bedroom;)
- Will you sometimes go too far to get your way? 2
I'm ok with going with anyone flow, as long AS YOU HAVE A PLAN. WHERE IS THE PLAN?!?!?!?!
- Are you interested in space travel? 3
I wanted to be an astronaut! ;) But there is that whole flying thing again...
- Do you have strong willpower? 3
Ummm, I'm not sure. No one has ever tried to hypnotize me.
- Do you have one object that you highly value? 5
And so does Sue;)
- Have you ever stolen anything? 4
Magic cards when I was younger. But I felt bad.
- Do you get in many physical fights with girls? 1
Hitting girls is always bad. ALWAYS.
- Do you like animals? 5
Love them. Even the ugly ones.
- Do you use people to get your way? 1
Can't think of a time I have done this.
- Do you like bad boys(or girls)? 4
Love the look. Hate the attitude.
- Are you much of a drinker? 4
I'll drink you and your mom under the table. Just try and stop me!
- Are you obviously powerful? 1
Lets just move on, shall we?
- Are you a show off? 4
Mom, look what I can do! Mom? You're not looking. MOM! LOOK!
- Do you like to build things? 5
Legos are the greatest toy ever created.
- Have you achieved a lot from hard work? 4
Sure. Lets go with "hard work". I like that thought.
For a final result of: The Flash

Learn something new every day
I had a rather embarrassing experience yesterday (at least, its embarrassing for a computer geek like me). I discovered quite by accident that for the last 6 months or so I have been running my dual core Athlon 64 x2 as a single core. Nice. 6 months of playing WoW and the Sims 2 at roughly half the speed they should have been running at. Really, really, nice...
When I upgraded my CPU/motherboard, I just used my existing hard drive and installed some new drivers. Turns out that if you upgrade from a single proc to a dual proc in WindowsXP, the OS does not detect the second CPU automatically. In fact, there is no way to update the OS to use the second proc without reinstalling the OS (apparently a very low level component is installed during the OS install that cannot be replaced without reinstalling the whole thing). So guess what I spent the day doing? No really, I bet you can guess.
Ah well. I have to get back to "pwning the n00bs" as R would say. At least now I can see them twice as often as before:)
P.S. For the record, I would NEVER say "pwning the n00bs". NEVER!
