Hah!

You Are Surrealism

Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own.
It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy.
You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society.
You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world.

Banned Books Week


Banned Books Week
Originally uploaded by drinkgoodtea.
The Banned Books Week display at the Gulfport Library. This display has been my project for the last while, I'm feeling extra proud of it. I think that one's first book display is some sort of a milestone, at least in a library-world career. Woo hoo!!

There are more pictures on Flickr, the display spreads over two desks and is kinda hard to capture all at once. And if you're reading this and you're in the area, stop by and take a look. The display will be up for at least another week or two. Read banned books, yo!

Results of the Quiz Carey Gave Me

You Are 32% Capitalist, 68% Socialist

You tend to be quite wary of businesses, especially big business.
While you know that corporations have their place, you tend to support small, locally owned shops.
As far as the rich go, you think they're usually corrupt and immoral.

Capitalism vs. Socialism

Wow. I don't know that I've ever tried to place myself so precisely on this particular line, but there we are...

So is this why I feel like a space alien lost in America sometimes?

I know this is a hideously simplistic little quiz, but I'm really curious where the people I know, or even the 'average American' (not the same thing at all) land on this scale. Hmmm.

You Are 8% Capitalist, 92% Socialist

You see a lot of injustice in the world, and you'd like to see it fixed.
As far as you're concerned, all the wrong people have the power.
You're strongly in favor of the redistribution of wealth - and more protection for the average person.

You Have Fantastic Karma

You are a kind, sensitive, and giving person.
And all your good deeds will pay off - if they haven't already.
But you're not so concerned with what you get in return anyway.
You have an innate caring nature - and nothing can change that!

"politics" and what-not

I would hope so...

I don't think I like Dean as mascot though.

You Are a Liberal for Life

You've got a bleeding heart - and you're proud of it.
For you, liberal means being compassionate, pro-government, and anti-business.
You believe in equality for every person, and you consider yourself universally empathetic.
Helping others is not just political for you ... it's very personal too.

Swimmy swimmy (but not in the red tide)

Your Element Is Water

A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious.
That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep.

Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily.
You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others.

You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves.
You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful.

planets and such...

You Are From Jupiter

You are exuberantly curious - and you love to explore newness.
Enthusiastic and optimistic, you get a kick out of stimulating intellectual discussions.
Foreign cultures and languages fascinate you. You love the outdoors, animals, and freedom.
Chances are you tend to exaggerate, so try to keep a lid on that.
If you do, you'll continue to be known for your confidence, generosity, and sense of justice.
