Lame inactive FA user's journal announcement:

going to FWA! so hyped! will have a badge by creeps once I pick it up. \o/

A fellow fur,  Electricserge, is going to go homeless unless he can raise a lot of cash, and quick. She's taking 10 dollar (USD) chibi and icon commissions. Go see here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14090750

Help out! Time is of the essence!

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

In the process of finally posting some ancient art on here, as well as more recent stuff. I haven't added anything in years, and it'll take me a while to search through all my sketchbooks (and I have to find them all, first), so please be patient. Oh, and if I post things out of order chronologically, the older stuff is likely to be in the scraps, due to its lesser quality.

Thank you for your time. :3
-M.

Posting this here for reference in case anyone wants it.

::Summary::
So, um, yeah, this is my FA profile. First off, I suppose I'm not much of a furry, although I've always found anthro char's pretty neat, ever since the 90's anthro game-character craze. Actually, I'm that thing called otherkin (ZOMG total nutjob!). But it's not such a big deal to me, just an explanation for the unexplainable. I don't even like posting on the OK sites anyway. The reason I set up an account on here is 'cuz, well, I do like furry art, and I do actually make some. My devart site has more content, while this one has just my anthro work. Well, for now. ;) I really like this site a lot more, actually, even if it is a more narrow field of content. Feel free to comment on my work and such. Enjoy! Embrace the chaos!

I've listened to it several hundred times, and I'm perfectly normal... / I made the face-eater laugh with evil glee; my work is complete. / Evil's always good. / Now, that is a compliment I truly treasure. 'Corruptive.' I like it! / Actually, I'm a cheese sandwich. / As I said it would, so shall it be. As I said it would be, is it not? / Remember kids: if it smells like a surfer dude, it isn't safe to eat! / Remember, folks: tentacles are everyone's friend!! / I was thinking maybe we'd just chill and talk on Friday, since I'd be kinda bushed from the long drive. Maybe watch a flick. Cuddle. Watch me and V make out. Join us in making-out. Y'know, guy stuff. / We could talk in the car, but we couldn't make out or grope eachother or anything. I just think that sounds like a terrible loss.

Sabre () is a dear friend of mine, and also in bad spot. He no longer has a home or a job, and is just lucky that he found some friends to stay with. He is currently offering $5 dollar commissions for single characters in color (yes, five United States dollars, not British Pounds or something else). He's also accepting donations, I believe. Anyway, please help if you can by commissioning this great artist. He's currently running a stream atm in which he'll pick up commissions to do both during it and after.

Here is the link to his journal on the subject:

And here is the link to his livestream:

I really care a lot about him and I desperately want things to improve.

Anyways.. thanks for reading.

Rae/Shadowdi/my best friend Kraesh's mate has an infestation of semi-poisonous, 3-inch spiders and her basement but can't afford the extermination fees. Normally, I'm fine with spiders, since they consume plenty of pests, but obviously a significant infestation of semi-poisonous (that was the term Rae/Shadowdi used; I'm guessing maybe she or one of her family members is allergic) ones are a different story. Anyway, since she doesn't have the money for the extermination, she's taking up commissions at an extremely low price.

Rae/Shadowdi wrote:3$ for 1-2 characters

2$ for every extra character

a pic with 3 people would be 5$

And the money goes towards Fighting the mutant spiders in my house

please help.

"You know, I must be crazy
to show this as my way of living
I find that it's easy
Cutting up the pieces

to mend my unholy life
I fall to my knees praying
I find it hard and easy"
-My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, "And This is What the Devil Does," from I See Good Spirits, I See Bad Spirits

If you read this, then you're one of a handful of people. I don't know if anyone will read this, as I don't comment on the submissions of those I watch and I never upload anything myself.

Anyways, I suppose this is in some ways a typical FA emo-drama journal. But I don't write this simply to complain or garner sympathy, but actually quite a bit out of desperation: I'm under near-continual stress and I don't know how to get out of it.

I recently found out that the one friend I have where I live, the only friend I can actually, physically hang out with on anything approaching a regular basis, is being shipped out to Connecticut (he's in the Navy). Although my dad was sympathetic, my mom seemed to care little, instead electing to dig into me as usual about my at-home gunsmithing course, my rooms, and anything else she could bitch at me about. I've been pissed enough with her refusing to go the Charleston Aquarium these past couple of days (I've wanted to see the new albino alligator they brought in. In addition, I don't have anyone else to spend time with now, but my parents are always too busy to spend time except vegging out in front of the TV, as all that matters to them are their careers, this over-rated construct they call a home, and finances), but now she hurt me a lot, and I'm furious as well as despondent. In other news, I just found out a Master of mine, who's very dear to me, attempted suicide again. Also, my ex, Kevin, is stalking me now, and refuses to leave me alone.

So, yeah, I suppose this -is- to get sympathy, but... I really don't know what to do anymore. I'm not really all that into gunsmithing, my friends don't seem to like me as much as they used to, everyone I've tried to befriend lately hasn't talked to me, etc, etc... I only have a few nascent ideas of what I want to do with my life, but they're all very vague and seemingly unattainable. I want to make the world a better place, but I don't see how I could, not out of defeatism but a simple inability to comprehend the practical manifestation of such a desire.

So, yeah... in essence, I feel depressed, hated, hateful and unloved. I really hate my life right now. I don't feel suicidal, no-doubt in part due to my anti-depressant, but I still feel aimless and deeply troubled. It just feels like most everyone around me hates me now. Even people I've just met on here who I try to befriend have never contacted me again. *sighs* and, of course, at this hour, no-one's online to talk to. Anyways... I'll shut up now...

Please try to be happy even after reading my rant, and I do sincerely hope it hasn't bothered you in any way. Thank you.


Except for you, Kevin, if you're reading this, you fucking stalker.

Was given the honor of being tagged by so's I get to do this meme! :D

Dear friends and associates,


I offer my sincere apologies for disturbing and troubling all of you. I was overreacting to a minor misunderstanding due to my strong self-effacing and self-doubting tendencies. Thankfully, a good friend of mine has recently helped me to be less hard on myself and be more aware of the less flattering aspects of the personality traits I have learned in my life experiences. My deepest thanks go out to him for this.

Many of you may wonder why it is that I have failed to be active on FA. Simply put, I joined FA to find friends, and, since I have accomplished said goal, I have little interest in this site anymore. I do wish that I was more active on here, and that I applied my time and energy to critique and comment on the many works and labors of my friends and associates, but I must be honest that I simply... "would rather not." It has come to my attention that I, like many, am affected by the chief cancer of this modern existence we all know: apathy.

It is, in-fact, what I have been putting my energies into lately: the study of this modern vexation, a very serious problem that could bring about the ruin of all that we know. I am aware that that is melodramatic, and would hardly register notice on a furry site, but I can assure you that this is something I mean very seriously when I say it: apathy will be the doom of the human race, and this world, if it is left unchecked. Therefore, I am now collecting my thoughts on this topic in the hopes that I can publish a work to bring attention to it. A strong grasp of language and compositional thought are some of the few assets I have available to combat this problem, and I am focusing all my effort into stopping it.

For many years now, I have felt something was deeply wrong with this world. Namely, the United States, but no person or country fails to be affected by the American superpower. It was only recently that I was able to put a name and face to this horror of the modern world, and, even though I know its causes, I am still struggling to find a solution. My advance apologies if I am largely unavailable for some time, as I find it hard to involve my self socially when I feel that the whole world stands upon the brink of its annihilation. I genuinely hope that what I have stated and expressed here does not sound ridiculous to you, and that you understand why I must pursue this duty with the solemn determination that I have elected to do so. I have finally found a purpose in my life. While helping and making joyous my friends and loved ones seemed to be it, I realized that that is but an extension of my true calling: helping mankind. Again, melodramatic, but all lifeforms' chief duty is the pursuit of its own well-being, and my empathic tendencies make me care greatly for the human race and this planet. Art, music, and all my other creative endeavors are now less than secondary compared to my need to help this self-destructive race we know as mankind. I wanted to create a series of stories to illustrate my thoughts and beliefs about the modern world, and why I see it as seriously twisted. But the situation is too dire and the hour is too late for petty fantasies. The phantasms that haunted my characters are real and threaten this entire world. Apathy, self-absorption, greed and the all-exclusive pursuit of individual pleasures threaten the whole of humanity, and I can no longer sit idle with my various forms of escapism when everyone and everything is threatened by these vexations. I care far too much and know I am capable of too much to watch while the world slides into an abyss and collapses into dissolution.

Again, my apologies for having disturbed all of you previously, and my apologies if I again disturb you know. But I do honestly believe that we should all be disturbed by the course our world has taken, and how very close we are to our edge of ruin.


Sincerely,
-M.

NOTICE: perhaps it's best if you ignore this. It's me creating unnecessary drama, but if you wish to know why I've disappeared, feel free to read on. I wasn't sure about posting this, but I felt that you would probably want to know what's going on. Or, maybe you don't, which is fine, as I don't deserve people's concern.

I wish to apologize to everyone for everything. I know I should be on here. I know I should have been a better friend. And I know, all too painfully, that everything I do is wrong. I'm not writing this to garner people's sympathy. I'm writing this because it is how I feel. I don't want people's sympathy. I don't deserve it. I don't want anyone upset over this, because I don't want to create drama for anyone. Perhaps it is best if you forget I ever existed, and, hence, I perhaps never should have made this. Still, I made it so that you would know why I'm never on and why I'm such a horrible person.

I could make excuses, but I won't. I simply am fucked-up, so to say. I don't know what to do about it anymore, or if I even deserve to be better. To be honest, I suppose part of me is doing this for the sympathy/pity part, but I truly feel like I don't deserve much of any. I am only a burden to this world and everyone upon it. I... I can't... I have no idea what to do about it anymore. I have simply elected to stop bothering people. Even if I start to feel better for some reason, it's only a matter of time before I screw up again and hurt others. I never wanted to hurt my friends, but I have. I've done everything I never should have. I can never be forgiven for anything I've done. I don't deserve forgiveness, or pity, or mercy.

Again, my sincere apologies. I wish all of you had never had the displeasure of meeting me. No-one deserves to be subjected to that.

Goodbye,
-M.

P.S. I sincerely hope this doesn't turn into a thing where I create unnecessary drama only to come back a week later okay or something. One of my best friends (or, former best friend, I guess) hates me for what I've done, and, even with all that's happened between us, he can't forgive me. So, hopefully, that will be enough impetus for me to stay offline forever. Again, goodbye, and my sincere apologies for everything. I know I'm a failure, trust me.

Ayup. I'm back. And I had "teh gaisecks." And it was good. Heehee!!! X3 Anyway, yeah, the trip was really awesome. It was great to meet V and Aggy, and to spend time with them and all. Really awesome guys, and both quite cute, too. X3

I'd go into more detail about the trip, but V's journal on it was pretty thorough, and I'm quite sick at the moment, actually. DX Ugh... post-nasal drip, sore throat, nosebleed, congestion, etc. Man, I hate it so much. I feel like crap.....

Anyway, the trip, though, was awesome!! I'll be posting a meme here, soon, but I just wanted to put this up to let you guys know, and not leave my previous journal without a bookend. X3 Again, sorry this is late, but, like I said, I've been sick, and my school demands don't help, either. It's the summer semester, so all the classes are accelerated, meaning less time to do everything. Ugh. DX

Anyway, thanks for reading, folks!

::What?::
Short stay over the weekend.

::Where?::
Tampa, Florida, USA

::Friends?::

This weekend, I intend to go down to Florida. I'll be in Tampa, visiting a few friends. Due to this fact, I won't be able to chat as much with my friends as I would like to, as I'll have most of my time occupied with school stuff and preparing my gear for the trip. But, the primary reason is that I need more sleep. I'm exhausted, and I have to be fully rested for a drive that could last up to 10 hours. DX The driving itself will hopefully last no more than approx. 8hrs 30-45mins, but I have to take breaks and such, so it'll be a long haul. Again, I wish I could talk with my friends as much as I normally do, but I can no longer afford to.

My apologies to my friends, but that's the way it has to be if I want to go meet my best-friends. It's just too much for me to all juggle at once, so I've had to shift priorities in order to make this trip. Again, I wish I could socialize as much as I normally do, but my current objectives dictate otherwise.

UPDATE - got hotel reservations. Haven't actually had the time to be less social than I planned to, so I might bomb an art project now. DX Anyway... I'll be making my trip preparations all of today, then leaving Friday morn. Here's to me not crashing on the deadly highways of America!! DX

::Notes to Friends & Potential Friends:: - NOTE: If you don't understand what's being discussed, that's because it's NOT FOR YOU!!
Aggy - I'll be right there with ya, so no note for you!! Lol, j/k. Some unexpected issues with the hotel have arisen.... ugh. I'll see what I can do, but hopefully things will end up okay. This isn't as big of an issue other than that I had finally found a good one, but because the pricks won't let people under 21 check in ('cuz they're cunts, and politicians don't wanna let their runaway kids have some place to sleep), I gotta find a new one. *sigh*

Alanna - sorry I removed you from the list of my friends on my UP. I meant nothing by it, FA simply will only let me have so many icons in there. This is not to say you aren't important to me, but we haven't chatted all that much, especially as of recently. I still would like to be your friend, so hopefully we'll chat more after I get back late Sunday. But I still gotta figure out how I'm gonna fit all my friends on my page, ugh.

Andrew - it'd be nice if we could chat more.I know we still have to finish what we started, remember? Heehee.

Araca - yep, I wanna become friends with ya. You seem like a neat person. Of course, you'll know by now that I won't have time to chat for some time, lol, but feel free to send me a PM or something, and I'll be sure to respond to it as soon as I get the chance. But yeah, that is why I added you to my watch: you seem like a neat person to have as a friend. If you're interested, of course. If you don't want to, I understand. I just think you seem pretty kewl, grrl.

Dakota - we need to chat more. I know you're not on all that much, but I'd like to talk to you more, man. You're a cool guy to chat with.

Dire - hiya, hun. Well, it's been interesting, hasn't it? But yeah, I won't be on for quite some time. Though, to be honest... we don't chat a whole lot as it is. Oh, well, we can't help we have some differing interests. But my offer of aid still stands, I'll always be here to help you.

Dutchy - man, you're fun to talk to, lol. You're a really cool guy, Dutchy. I really look forward to chatting with you whne I get back. I know you'll want all the juicy details of my little excursion. ;3

The Nefarious Mr. Hart - we haven't really chatted in ages, have we? Maybe you should PM or something. I have MSN, but I don't think you do. Oh, well. But, yes, I know I'm extremely far behind on commenting on your stuff. I currently have 103 messages here on FA, so I've got a -lot- of catching up to do... and it doesn't help that you submit so much damn stuff. I mean, jeez. I don't think I'll ever be down to zero messages ever again... anyway, yeah, I won't be able to work on commenting until I get back from the trip. *sigh* I'm sure I'll have a full Imperial ton of submissions awaiting commentary. Ugh.

Kidsune - you know that I think you're an awesome person to chat to, and I hope ot see that club of yours in SL some day soon. I'll try to chat with ya when I get back, okies, hun?

Kit - you know I think you're awesome, so I guess you don't have to hear much from me other than I'll be looking forward to chatting to you some more when I get back from Florida. Oh, and everything with your sis has gone pretty well, although I noticed she never actually let you use her phone later, lol.

Koba - well, you know most of this already, but I do hope to chat with you more when I get back. You're an interesting guy to talk to, albeit a little drunken at times, lol. Just don't drink and drive, okay? Oh, and that goes for you, too, Hart! Wreckless, para-dimensional redneck...

Kraesh - I know we have our differences, but I'd like to chat with you more when I get back. I've thought of you as a friend since we started chatting, and I hope that doesn't change. You don't seem apathetic to me, really,

Lunar - you know how deeply I care about you and how much you mean to me. I really wish I could spend more time with you, but I just can't afford to at the moment. I know it sounds callous to say that, but I really do value and like you a lot, man. I really hope we can hang out some more when I get back. And it'll be neat for you to guide me through SL some more. If I do get a chance to get on again before the trip or while I'm in Florida, you'll definitely be on the top of my list of the people I'd want to chat with. I'll send you a note or an IM with my cell, so you can call me. I know it'll probably seem like an eternity while I'm gone, but just remember that you mean a lot to me, and I hope we can become more than friends at some point. Oh, and, if it's any small consolation, I'll see about getting you those pictures you mentioned, okay? ;3 lol But, seriously, man, I'll be thinking about you, and I really care about ya. Don't hesitate to call me, okay?

Matt - well, you know what I want to say here because I've said it. I feel really grateful to you, man. Some part of me still doesn't like you for whatever reason, to be honest, but I'm glad we're not on bad terms, and that's all that really matters. I can send ya a note with my cell number, if you really want it, but I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't. That's fine, Lunar will probably be talking my ear off, anyway, lol.

Relique - you need to PM me or somethin', foo! lol Well, I won't be here for a while, but I'll be looking forward to chatting with ya when I get back, okay? Oh, and feel free to shoot me a PM if you want my cell number. I'll at least check for notes here before the trip, if only so I can give people my number so they can call me while I'm gone.

V - Ahh!! I can't believe I forgot to put a note in here for you!! *sigh* Well, I'll send ya a note with all pertinent information. But so you know, I won't be able to parse any more of that art for ya, not a whole lot, anyway. Sorry, I just won't have the time before the trip. Unfortunately, they're on DVD-R's, so you wouldn't be able to parse stuff after they're burned, I don't think. And I don't know if your comp has the capacity to store all of it anyway. Sorries. :c

Well, I think that pretty much covers everyone as of this moment. As the situation develops, I shall make changes here as necessary. If anyone wants, I can provide more information on times and such, so you have some idea of when I get back or when you can call or text and such.

Thanks, everyone. I have some really awesome friends. :3

Dudes!:

[X] You woke up with a boner.
Erm... only when I'm thinking of certain, particular guys... murr... Actually, this happens quite often. Sometimes I'm late to class because I jerked off as soon as I woke up! XD
[-] You're taller than 5'5".
Yep. 6'4, bitches.
[X] You don't hesitate to hit a bitch.
I don't think it's fair that women can't be hit. No, I'm no abuser, but if someone is engaging in an activity that would normally yield violence from others, then they shouldn't be given leeway just because of their sex. That's discrimination, pure and simple.
[-] You like to get drunk and fight.
Nope. I'm not a college frat-boy, "brah." Biased.
[x] You drink beer.
Well, not very much, if at all. And only German stuff. Good, [i]Bavarian, German stuff. Like Spaten, or Franziskanner.[/i]
[x] MEAT!
Yep, my body suffers after the flesh. You could say that I'm a meat whore! ;3
[x] There are tissues close to your bed.
Heeheehee... and a bottle of moisturizer! XD Actually, that's just for when my hands get dry in the winter and start to crack.
[x] You wear clothes that are larger than they need to be.
Mmm... I tend to, yeah.
[x] You like dinosaurs.
Two words: Anonymous Rex. Biatch.
[-] You love sports. Always.
Ugh. Only competition shooting, some world circuit racing, and Mayan ball.
[x] Video games are better than the mall.
Definitely. I hate shopping.
[x] Your curse like a sailor.
Not really. But when I curse, there's no limits. I tend to favor the term "cunt."
[-] You scratch your nuts in public.
Nooo... that's just nasty, period.
[x] Your favourite colour is either Black, Blue, Green, or Red.
Black, followed by burgundy.
[-] Your father (or father type) told you about sex.
[x] You can grow facial hair.
I wish I didn't. Ugh.
[-] You like going to strip clubs, to see titties.
Yech. The internet's waaaay cheaper.
[x] You used to/still do collect pokemon/digimon cards, but not because they are "cute".
I used to, mainly because it was a pathway to socializing with my peers. And some of them actually looked kinda cool.
[x] You can lift over 60 lbs from the ground.
Yeah. Because of my height, everyone turns to me for grunt labor. I also was constantly pestered in high-school to join the football team. Pisses me off.
[-] You tend to be the one people call when there is a bug in the room.
Nope. I'm fine with crushing most any bug, but I have a phobia for roaches. I think it was caused by "Joe's Apartment," not sure...
[-] You attended prom to get laid.
I should've, but I didn't go.
[-] You devise complex plots and schemes so that you can see boobies.
Nooo... again, biased for frat-boys. Not all guys are like this.
[-] You show off bruises like badges of honor.
Ehh... I've never really been in a position to have this come up.
[-] You've had at least one dream about Chuck Norris
Why the hell is this in the "masculine" category? This whole thing just screams "latent homosexual tendencies." Again, biased towards frat-boys.

Babes!:


[-] You get a period.
Uhh... no.
[-] People say you're short.
That has never happened. Not once. Ever.
[x] You call attractive females "sluts".
Depends on the person, but if they're the vapid, blond, dime-a-dozen type, I tend to, yeah.
[x] You take an hour (+) to get ready for the day.
If only because I'm lazy. And the aforementioned masturbation. ;D
[-] You act like you can drink with the guys, but typically pass out.
I don't drink, but it would take a lot to make me pass out.
[-] You don't eat unless someone else eats as much as you do, or more.
Ah, great, more bias bullshit. Nope.
[-] You wear make-up daily.
I think very few guys do that, gay or otherwise.... only drag-queens do, and most people wouldn't call them guys...
[x] You care about what you look like.
Most people do, "brah..."
[x] You can cook and clean.
I can cook really well, but I don't clean. Ever, really.
[-] You NEED like more than 2 pairs of shoes.
I only have more because I either 1. haven't gotten rid of them or 2. they're just for formal occasions, but I don't really need them. 5.11 XPRT Tactical boots all the way, baby.
[x] You like to spend money with your friends.
I would think most straight guys do anyway... again, bias...
[-] You like wearing body spray/perfume.
Nope. Just deodorant, thank-you-very-much. That Axe crap gives me a headache.
[-] Your favourite colour is Pink or Purple.
Nope.
[-] Your mom told you about sex.
[x] You looked at yourself in the mirror and questioned your beauty, or lack there of.
Yep. Quite self-conscious, I suppose. Fearless, but I want to look good, y'know?
[-] You use tits to your advantage.
[-] You are/were in cheerleading, gymnastics or dance.
[-] You have multiple purses, to match outfits.
[x] You freak out when you see bugs in the room.
Yeah, I have a phobia for roaches, so I marked it. Any other bugs don't bother me, though.
[-] You consider spending money a hobby.
Heh. Funny. Misogynist...
[-] You attended prom, to dress up.
Didn't go, though dressing up is kinda fun to me. =P
[-] Used to play with dolls as little kid.
Noo... they're "action figures." J/K. But they weren't anything femmy, just Spawn and GI Joe-type stuff. And I usually ended up dismembering or melting them in creative ways.
[-] You had a dream you dated Johnny Depp.
What the hell? No. Do dreams about cock-shaped candy count? XD

Girl Score - 7/24

Well, shows you how accurate a test this is. I'll sub like a bitch to other guys on MSN, but this thing says I'm more masculine than feminine. Oh, well. Just gives me more of an opportunity to prove how femmy I am... ;3

I am now officially mated to  caged-disorder Yep, she's a chick. And she's HAWT. We're hoping of meeting up at AC09, but that depends on whether or not her parental Nazis guardians will allow it. Ugh. But, anyway, yeah it's pretty BA, in my opinion. The thing with Matt didn't go anywhere, but we're still friends, so it's cool. I kinda did rub it in his face, though, but he thought it was funny more than anything else. Like I told him "ya snooze, ya lose."

Anyway, though, yeah, I'm excited. She's hot, talented, cute, likes my jokes, funny, and similar interests. Did I mention the hot part?

With a guy. This guy specifically:  adoir Yep. I'd never thought it'd happen, of course. And, naturally, he doesn't feel the same way. I've never experienced anything remotely like this, and it scares the hell out of me. Matt's probably the only friend I've got right now: he's incredibly understanding, laid-back and tolerant. He's also wonderfully supportive and nice. I can't even believe he's still letting me chat with him. Love is entirely foreign to me: I know so much about pain, suffering and misery that this amazing frenzy is like a waking dream and a waking nightmare. Anyway, though, yeah. Weird, crazy shit man, all around. I cried, laughed, rejoiced, and said things I'd never thought I'd say. It's a crazy, fuckin' world, ain't it?

Oh, and I recently received one-hundred pageviews recently. Koolio. Kudos to all the people who contributed, especially my small group of cabal-like watchers! Thank you for all your support!

I was inspired by my discussion of this topic with  adoir to post this self-assessment from my old psychology textbook. I still have it because the school won't buy it back. Why? Well, they stopped making it. But not at the end of the semester, or once school was well underway, but within the first week of classes, so there were always people who never had a textbook. :P

First off, what is androgyny? Androgyny means "expressing both the 'masculine' and 'feminine' traits found in each individual. Rather than limiting themselves to rigid gender-appropriate behaviors, androgynous men and women can be assertive and aggressive when necessary, but also gentle and nurturing. Some people think androgyny us a new term for asexuality or transsexualism. However, the idea of androgyny has a long history to positive combinations of gender roles, like the yin and yang of traditional Chinese religions."

Anyway, the test sees what kind of personality you have based on your self-assessment of certain attributes. According to the same textbook, "modern researchers have found that masculine and androgynous individuals have higher self-esteem, academic scores, and creativity. They are also more socially competent and motivated to achieve, and exhibit better overall mental health (Choi, 2004; Hittner & Daniels, 2002; Venkatesh et al., 2004). It seems that androgyny and masculinity, but not femininity, are adaptive for both sexes." Note: I am not arguing any male superiority or anything like that. It does make sense, however, that these things could happen, as Western society tends to malign feminine qualities in favor of masculine ones. This bias can cause all kinds of psychological issues, and even if someone who is feminine doesn't have mental issues, they are more likely to have deficiencies in these areas because of what their culture may teach them.

Now, without further ado, is the test. Have fun!
Are You Androgynous? wrote:Social psychologist Sandra Bern (1974, 1993) developed a personality measure that has been widely used in research. You can take this version of Bern's test by rating yourself on the following items. Give yourself a number between 1 (never or almost never true) and 7 (always or almost always true):

1. _____ Analytical
2. _____ Affectionate
3. _____ Competitive
4. _____ Compassionate
5. _____ Aggressive
6. _____ Cheerful
7. _____ Independent
8. _____ Gentle
9. _____ Athletic
10. _____ Sensitive

Now add up your points for all the odd-numbered items; then add up your points for the even-numbered items. If you have a higher total on the odd-numbered items, you are "masculine." If you scored higher on the even-numbered items, you are "feminine." If your score is fairly even, you may be androgynous.
Since people will want to know, and it's on ma profile page, I got androgynous on the test, scores being 24 for odd answers (masculine) and 25 for even (feminine). Feel free to post your own scores!

Oh, and feel free to steal! Just make sure you give me credit! Naw, its okay, it'll just be neat to see this spread on FA. Interesting stuff, y'know?

Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Orderliness results were very low which suggests you are overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense too often of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.

Extraversion results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.

trait snapshot:
messy, disorganized, social, tough, outgoing, rarely worries, self revealing, open, risk taker, likes the unknown, likes large parties, makes friends easily, likes to stand out, likes to make fun of people, reckless, optimistic, positive, strong, does not like to be alone, ambivalent about chaos, abstract, impractical, not good at saving money, fearless, trusting, thrill seeker, not rule conscious, enjoys leadership, strange, loves food, abstract, rarely irritated, anti-authority, attracted to the counter culture

::My Assessment::
If there are any inaccuracies in this, it's probably in the "extraversion" section. I am being treated for socially avoidant behavior, after all. I'm not the biggest fan of large parties, and I don't think I enjoy leadership all that much. Maybe it's just because I've been so positively lately, since I've been making so many friends here. Speaking of which, "sociable and interacting at the expense of developing [my] own personal interests" may be quite accurate, as I haven't worked on my art in a while because I've been chatting on FA so much.

This is actually the second time I've taken this test, and there are a number of differences, especially in the social area. Still, though, I think this is fairly accurate. Feel free to comment on ma' craziness.

Oh, and, here's a link to take the test yourself. Then you can post your results on your journal, and then we can all make fun of you! XP
