You are Form 0, Phoenix: The Eternal.
"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached
zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He
emerged from his own ashes, to be forever
immortal."
Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl
(Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum
(Egyptian).
The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life,
the number 0, and the element of fire.
His sign is the eclipsed sun.
As a member of Form 0, you are a determined
individual. You tend to keep your sense of
optomism, even through tough times and have a
positive outlook on most situations. You have
a way of looking at going through life as a
journey that you can constantly learn from.
Phoenixes are the best friends to have because
they cheer people up easily.
Which Mythological Form Are You?

Odd, not feeling like a Phoenix at the moment. Quizzes are interesting. But are they accurate? May depend on how accurate our own responses to the questions are - ie. our results are more indicative of how we view ourselves?

You will be sucked dry by a leech. I'd stay away
from swimming holes, and stick to good old
cement. Even if it does hurt like hell when
your toe scrapes the bottom.
What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?

Okay that one is just weird. I got two results actually, did it twice, the other was "you will be smothered by a rug, due to being anti-social, and might want to work on your social skills by making prank phone calls." Heh. I love Edward Gorey. Bro gave me a collection of Edward Gorey illustrations in a coffee table book for Christmas one year.
Not a great week. Have managed to accomplish next to nothing and it's almost the end of October. Feeling very snarky and desperate. So have co-opted one of D'H's political icons - anything for the cause, you know.
(Warning: Incredibly long personal rant about the job search...) The other night, my mother brought up the dreaded "ThanksGiving Topic". "I hate to mention this," she says over the phone, "but what are your plans for Thanksgiving?" Uhm nothing at the moment. "Do you want to come down to Hilton Head and spend it with us or would you rather wait until Christmas?" Well, haven't decided yet. But since I have class the week of Thanksgiving and my marketing plan is due three days after it, probably not a good idea. Besides can't afford it. And what if I get a job? Same problem with Christmas actually - what if I get a job? I get a job, which I pray I do, Xmas may be out as well. (Ugh, damned if I do, damned if I don't.) Haven't seen the folks since well New Year's Day 2003. And the only holidays I celebrate or care about are well: Thanksgiving and Xmas. Done Thanksgiving alone before, though - no big. Also F/X does these nifty all day Buffy Marathons - although with all the tapes I've got, I could host my own Buffy marathon. Besides need to write that dang marketing plan. Xmas is another thing altogether - never missed Xmas with my family, it's a small little family - just me, Mom, Dad, and occassionally my little brother and his live-in girlfriend, but a very close-nit one. We live miles apart yet in some ways seem closer than people who live next door to each other - perhaps there's some truth in that old adage, distance makes the heart grow fonder? And no, I have no desire to live next door. I like living in NYC and they like living in Hilton Head. Heck my brother and I live 30 minutes from each other and only talk once every three to four months.
At any rate, Dad's had heart problems this year (we had one or two minor scares), so I hate the fact that I have no idea whether I can spend Xmas with them this year. Seems silly I know, but there you go.
I also overslept this morning - woke up at 11:15, not good, killed half the day. Of course I was up until 3 am so that's probably why. Had nightmares about the evil company again. So re-watched Hell Bound while eating breakfast, then promptly went to computer to study for test. (Didn't find Hell Bound very scary. Sort of funny in places. But not scary.)
Have you ever wondered that maybe you took a wrong turn somewhere and if you could go back maybe take that turn, everything would be different? The thought occurred to me as I scrolled through over 1,000 job announcements. I found myself thinking, hey, maybe I should have gotten a degree in Marketing Communications or Human Resources, instead of this useless English Lit/Law Degree. Psychology might have been more useful. Or public policy - lots of jobs in public policy analysis. No jobs in contract analysis, contractual negotiation, copyright, or content licensing. I think I've interviewed for all of them alread.
Still no news on the temp job. How depressing - I can't even seem to get a temp job. My friends have been sweethearts, but how many times can they spot the bill without it beginning to feel a tad like charity or that I'm taking advantage? My friend, who still works at evil company, informed me via email that she finally finished fine-tuning the evil company's computer system and was about ready to go into full-job search mode. This motivated me to go through all the New York Times, Career Builder.com, Monster.com and flipdog.com ads mailed to me yesterday in detail. It was as if I suddenly wondered - wait maybe I'm not doing enough? Maybe it's my fault? No luck. Feeling sort of desperate and snarky like I want to bite people with words, which probably means I should avoid the fanboards at all costs. Too many temptations.
Enough whining...back to my studying. With any luck, I might actually get enough of this information to stick in my head so I can pass that test on Tuesday. One day at time as my Granny used to say. That and "it could be worse..." during which she would go into detail regarding just how much worse it could be, which uhm doesn't make me feel any better. Guilty, yes. Better, no. Off to work.
