Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence



You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well. An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly. You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view. An expert with creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.

You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.

That sounds right but unfortunately there's a difference between my spoken and written fluency, so no, I would not be good at most of those professions. And I resent the implication of two of them.

I can write to anyone on the fly though.

Pressie!

vilakins: Vila with stars superimposed (gift wrapped)

I got a pressie! Minnie sent me a fridge magnet she'd put one of her lovely pictures in--Vila and Kerril and the B7 logo against a background of stars and nebulae. They look a bit worried, poor darlings. That yoghurt's only been there a week, honest.

For cat-lovers, here's a site a friend just sent me a link to which shows what two cats can do to a Christmas tree: Tree Decorating 101.

Mary Sue!

I only encountered fanfic three years ago, but never before have I met Mary Sue in her full and frightening glory. I now have, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] pinkdormouse who provided a link to [livejournal.com profile] agentsands where the story was posted; she was also kind enough to give the author some constructive criticism. The post might disappear as the mod threatens to delete it unless it's put behind a cut, so here's a snippet to preserve the best of it.

Read and be stunned )
Sigh. Absolutely magnificent. I can cross off one of my fannish ambitions now.

[Edit] [livejournal.com profile] pinkdormouse wrote an answering parody in which she kills the Mary Sue using one of her own characters, the wonderful Marianne.
