Summer and survival

[vilakins]

It's summer at last (after a very long, cold, wet winter). It started on Monday officially, and in reality. We've had five successive days of hot sun, surely a record. And today I heard the first cicada of the season. Ahhh, I love cicadas.

And it's the weekend, which means something now that I have a job. Yay! I've been so busy all week, I've neglected this. But I am working on something B7-y to post to make up for it.

There was a fun survival quiz on astrogirl2's blog, so I did it as myself, Avon, then Vila.

As myself:


Civilized (Wo)Man
Congratulations, you
have all the signs of an innate survival
instinct. Unfortunately, though you may
physically be able to smell trouble, you don't
always have any practical idea of what to do
about it. I would suggest never leaving the
house and avoiding bed-bound octogenarians with
suspiciously long teeth who attempt to engage
you in conversation.

Yeah, that's probably about right.

As Avon:


(Un)Natural Predator
Mankind has already
fought its way to the top of the food chain,
are you trying to make an entirely new entry at
number one? Your friends may not survive you.
On the plus side, Darwin is firmly in your
corner and, as he's already dead, doesn't have
any real worries about waking up suddenly
limbless.

Hmm, that's surprisingly accurate.

As Vila:


Walking Chipmunk Chow
You tend to wait to
see what other people are doing before
commiting yourself, and rely on the kindness of
others, divine intervention and vague hopes for
the best. You probably don't even carry shark
repellent bat spray regularly. Evolution saw
you coming, my friend. And laughed. Like this.
Ah hahahahahahahhahahahah. It probably pointed
too.

Oh, poor Vila! I'll look after you, but I doubt it'll help much given my result.
